Eddie Malone got into drag performing almost by accident. Several years ago, the Tom’s River, NJ native was living in Charlotte, NC, where his roommate at the time was organizing a drag competition at a local bar. At the last minute, one of the performers dropped out - and Eddie’s roommate was in a real bind.
“He was freaking a bit, so I said, ‘I'll do it - it’s not like anyone will vote for me.’” No one was more surprised that Eddie himself when he came in first place.
