Miss ASGRA 2008

Esmeralda Kane Jaymes

Born on February 17, 1971 in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico; Ivan (aka Esmeralda) has been in the drag scene since the early 90s.

At the age of three, Ivan left Puerto Rico and came to New York with his family. After the separation of his parents he moved from one place to another, from east to west. After the age of fifteen, Ivan decided that it was time to be on his own, and moved out from his parent's house. He lived in D.C. until the age of nineteen when he moved to Green Bay WI with his first love.

At age twenty one Ivan decided to start doing drag, with the name of Tasha Evans. Things did not go well with the relationship he was in so he moved back to D.C. where he started performing around town. One night he was asked to perform at a bar by a Puerto Rican drag queen. This drag queen liked his performance and asked him to be part of her family, with one condition and that is to change Tasha Evans to Esmeralda Kane.

One day Esmeralda was ask to perform at the local country club Remington's; that is where he met his drag mother Miss Jymmye Jaymes. Ivan was so impressed with Miss Jaymes he asked if she would be his drag mother, and that is when his full name came to be Esmeralda Kane Jaymes.

Not until a few years later did Ivan and his partner join ASGRA. Ivan is currently part of the board of directors as treasurer. After seeing his drag mother won Miss IGRA in 2006 and his sister, Destiny B Childs, Miss IGRA 2007, he decided to try and achive the title of Miss ASGRA. Ivan has held a few titles in town, including Miss Gaye America DC 2007, (which he stills holds). His goal is to become the next Miss IGRA in 2009, but will also be happy if he just makes the team in 2009.

At 21 years of age on an excursion to South Beach, FL, under the alias of "Noah Rex" Anonymous decided to visit a popular venue called "The Laundry Bar". While sitting in the audience he was approached by the show director and "head Drag Queen" Brandy Wine. Miss Wine propositioned Anonymous to perform in a show the following day. Filled with excitement, Anonymous, "Noah" at the time accepted the invitation. This was the birth of Noah Rex, soon to become Anonymous Childs.

Through the next 4 years Noah continued to perform and did so with such professionalism and confidence that he was blessed with the opportunity to perform for audiences from around the world. Being an esteemed member of the DC Kings, Noah has represented the drag King community to the fullest. In the Year of 2003 at an annual Benefit for community outreach, Noah Rex came into contact with Destiny B. Childs. Shortly after meeting Miss Childs, Noah was introduced to the Academy of Washington, DC and upon joining ASGRA, this prestigious group of entertainers and those in the community that love them, Noah gave birth to Anonymous Childs.

Anonymous successfully competed for and won his first contest, MsTer ASGRA 2006 and has represented his title with honor, integrity and a love for the art for of male impersonation that attracts audiences of many different demographics to his shows.
