She holds a permanent place in Drag Race history as the first contestant ever to represent the state of Georgia, competing on Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2010, where she was eliminated second and placed eleventh overall. In the years since, she became one of Atlanta's most beloved hostesses, working steadily on the local nightlife circuit, appearing at Drag Race-related events, and staying in touch with the fan community through her socials. In 2025 she returned to television on Season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, again placing eleventh, and followed that with an appearance on Drag Race Down Under vs. the World Season 1, where she placed tenth. Her legacy sits somewhere between fan favorite and elder-stateswoman of Southern drag.
