JAKYLLYN is back in ACTION-YLLYN (that worked 'ish)



OK Friday night was the BIG dance floor opening at the Majestic on Davie, to launch their new Friday night club scene "the Maj" invited anyone who is ANYONE to the free cover friday opening.. I wasn't sure I wanted to, but I was so moved by the turn out (and had a LOAD OF FUN), I was determined to bring Jaky back with a vengeance.
NO pictures yet but... Saturday night Jaky arrived (semi early) for the Majestic Drag show starring Carlotta Gurl and Joan-E, guest starring the impervious Helena Handbag... I took the time during the intermission to speak with Joan-E.. My job was doene but we will see if anything comes of it.. (i will post any pics I get)

Back on Track babies!

I agree I have taken too much time off, I haven't posted a real blog entry in almost eight months. BUT THE BITCH IS BACK ONLINE!!! expect the best, read the rest!



When I moved to Victoria many years ago I was still a young drag queen, I had only been performing for two years and I was desperate to establish myself and continue to preform in my new home. It took me quite a while to gain the same respect as a serious performer I had when I was allowed to develop my career in Edmonton. a full two years of random bookings but i did it, I worked my way onto the stage and worked my ass off for three more first once a month then every two weeks as half of the monthly schedule. When I moved to Vancouver in February I needed a break, I made the transition to Vancouver living with little hesitation, I now face an even larger hurdle, with Victoria Pride approaching and being requested to host events I am left to question have I really taken too much time off, do I still have any following at all? I am desperate to announce YES, but feel a tinge of remorse for leaving so promptly. Is it possible to really take a break and make it back to the top in a new city? stay tuned and I guess we will find out together!

Jakyllyn Hyde's the Christmas Spirit



Well kids, last night was fabulous.
For those who were not in attendance last night was "Jakyllyn Hyde's the Christmas Spirit" show (otherwise known as the annual Ho! Ho! Whoe! Show). Every year the local queens get together and put on a huge production show fundraiser to benefit the Victoria Pride Society. At the beginning of the month the show was going as planned and last minute four of the scheduled seven performers pulled out unexpectedly. AHHHHH!!!!.. Not to worry all we are talking the Jakyllyn Hyde here, I of course pulled up my big girl panties and stepped it into high gear to learned four new Christmas numbers just for the event.. The turn out was AMAZING and we raised quite a bit of money. We sold Cherry and Strawberry candy canes for one dollar each and even had large donations from the bar staff...
Thanks again to my fabulous team, Electra Socket, Toby Pierce, Bartender Terry and DJ extraordinaire Tin-Tin
Unfortunately my dear photographer and friend Lisa was not with us as she had previous Christmas plans, (we missed you hun) I will attempt to get pictures from the show and post in the future but for now here is the poster.

Kisses
until next time who loves jakyllyn hyde.

The Most Fabulous of Random Show Highlights

Well It's finally December and as promised I am bringing to you a follow up to my show last Sunday... a little late but I was worked to near death by this weekend I was working with a slight cold and the rain does not heed the weak of health i suppose... The Random Show was a great success thanks to the help of great performers we pulled it off..
a little story: this week was to originally be an Electra Socket show and she had decided to take the week to herself and rest.. (lest we forget she is the other half of the Victoria Drag scene lol) I strategically put together a very fun and random of shows including the one and only Aliyah Ice and Toby Pierce-McCrotch only to arrive a full hour early to the face of Ms Gay herself Electra Socket in full Drag.. she had forgotten to take the week off and was not going to go home now..
well it was going to be Myself the infamous Princess of Whales Jakyllyn Hyde, Impersonator extraordinaire Aliyah Ice, Spitfire Drag brother Toby Peirce-(McCrotch) and the Straight-Shooting Trailer-Chic comedy of Electra Socket (P.S. apparently Electra loves Jagger). Thankfully we all bring different talents to our art and put them to good use pulling off one of the best shows I've been apart of in a very long time (Where are you Ryann Ginger :( )...

Here take a look at some highlights.. any questions? lol

Jakyllyn Hyde's the "Origin of Love"


Electra "Drives All Night" to find the Light


a TOUGH act to follow Toby Pierce


Aliyah Ice takes the crowd to Church


Jaky closes the show out with Taylor the Latte Boy (my tits broke that bra!)

ready or not here comes mamma


Last night was a spectacular night to be at Prism lounge, my mom even made an appearance. I preformed a flawless Ready or Not Show and even squeezed in time for a few requests.. I love performing for an attentive crowd and last night was a pure pleasure, though only a small audience you were completely in the moment with me, Thank You... For those who have never been to a READY or NOT show, (what the hell are you thinking) its a perfect combination of wit, lip sync and pure improvisation, twenty drag numbers are placed into a box, randomly through out the hour long show numbers are selected and without rehearsal I am forced to preform the song. Honestly these are my favorites, I love the interaction with the audience and everyone loves to see drag queens squirm... It has been a long time since my mom has attended my shows and it really is a sign I know we are on the right track.

In other news I am looking for new talents, I would love to put some new girls in there first real show, I have the time and dedication to make you flawless. email me for details. hyde_n_outt(at)shaw(dot)ca (i don't add email to blog posts as crawlers will send me stuff i don't need)
