Sierra Spaulding

Born November 24, 1985, in Bremerton, Washington but raised in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania all of my life.

Always fascinated by fashion and magazine models at a young age, I graduated High school and immediately went on to study fashion and marketing at a local community college. I was successful enough to retain a degree in business administration with a focus on marketing.

I was introduced to this art form in 2002 by my first drag mother Miss D Meaner. Immediately after seeing her perform, I knew that the art form was something I wanted to invest some time in. With the support of family members and friends I built up enough courage to make my first appearance at a local bar in Wilmington, Delaware called The 814, which at that time was the only place that allowed young individuals to showcase their talent. Unfortunately, it closed and so was the option to entertain.

Determined and ready to showcase the illusion of Sierra, I quickly began to perform all over Delaware and the Tri- State Area.

It was not until late 2003 I was introduced to the competitive world of pageantry. I entered my first competition called Miss Gay Delaware Queen Of Hearts, in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware where I was blessed to win. It was that experience which peaked my interest in competing. Shortly after I began competing in local pageants, and weekly talent shows. winning some, and losing some as well, I wanted a avenue to express my talent nationally and that is when

I was introduced to the International Pageantry System. It was after that very first experience at Miss International in 2004 that I knew this was something I aspired to be. Something I knew I could be. June 28, 2009 my DREAM came true as I captured the title of Miss International 2009.

Being that this is my first national title, I plan to use this as a platform to showcase not only my talents but my skills as a administrator and overall spokesperson for the system.

With Love, Lashes and lipstick,

Zeus

Zeus began his entertainment career in Lubbock, TX (where he attended Texas Tech University) in January of 2001. He began competing because of a challenge and then found out that he loved the art of it all.  He began his career as first runner-up to Mr. Rue 52 Imperial. At Mr. West Texas not only did he prove that big boys can move, but received his first standing ovation.  Zeus went on to capture the title of Mr. Gay Tri-States USA @ Large and went on to a top 12 finish at Mr. Gay USA @ Large in 2002 and again in 2003 as Mr. Gay Ohio USA @ Large.

 In 2005, Zeus began competing in a different system and back to competing against “little boys.”  After a 2^nd runner-up finish at Mr. Gay El Paso, Zeus gave everyone a run for their money at his first appearance at Mr. Gay Texas being the only at large contestant placing 6^th out of 15 contestants.  He then went on to win Mr. Gay El Paso in 2006 and again was one spot away from the top 5 at Mr. Gay Texas.

 He served as the motivation for the Mr. Gay Texas at Large contest (now USofA), and then went on to become the first ever Mr. Gay Texas USofA at Large in 2007. After sitting back and then returning to competition in 2009, Zeus competed for Mr. Gay USofA at Large on October 1, 2009, representing Mr. Gay South Central States.  Zeus finished 1^st runner-up doing his infamous “Dance With Me” talent.

 Zeus has not only helped expand titles and prelims in his area of the nation, but has been in the field of education for 8 years.  He is currently a Math and Science Instructional Specialist in AISD and is also working on his Masters in Education Administration. 

 We are also looking forward Mr. Texas International in the Spring of 2010. Zeus is a powerhouse entertainer and can be seen performing in and around the state of Texas. He brings substance and versatility to Male Entertainment.  He is definitely looking forward to the many prelims during his reign.
