Beyonce Knowles – American R&B singer, songwriter, actress, and inspiration to drag queens around the globe – has now revealed some of her mannerisms come from what she sees in drag performances.
New entertainment website ‘me-me-me.tv’ asked the ‘Irreplaceable’ star if she saw herself as a gay icon. She responded: “I definitely hope so! “I get a lot of my influences, a lot of my lingo, a lot of my mannerisms from watching the drag balls.
“It’s so over-the-top,” she says of the drag shows she’s experienced. “And I’m a frustrated drag queen! Absolutely! The more hair and the more lashes the better!” Fashion leading-light Giorgio Armani has now chosen Beyonce to represent his new fragrance – ‘Emporio Armani Diamonds’, saying she represents “glamour and elegant good taste”.
