LADY LISA DRAG STAGEOn September 10th 2010, our community lost a very special Lady. Lady Lisa passed on from this world at the age of only 38. I first met Lady Lisa [Alisha Catrina Wright] at the Club Phoenix in the old Allegro location.

Lady Lisa was an amazing woman who always had a smile on her face, and that smile would spread to everyone around her.

In February of 2005, she won the title of Miss Club Phoenix 2005, and she represented that title to the fullest extent. For those of you who knew Lady Lisa, you would agree that there was nothing she wouldn’t do for her family, friends, or the community. Along with her infectious smile, warmth, and open arms, if you needed a performer for your show or event, all you had to do was ask, and she would be there. Lady Lisa performed her very own type of drag,

while still being a woman. She always sang live, and she had the voice of an angel. She loved to sing, and would perform when-ever she could, whether on stage, or at karaoke.

Lady Lisa was an especially committed member of our community. She was way more than what we would call an ‘ ally ’ . She found her way into our community where she was welcomed with open arms, and in return, she opened her heart to the commu-nity. If you were trying to raise money for a charity, for travel funds, for production expenses, etc. She was there to help – no questions asked.

In 2009, we received Lady Lisa’ s biggest gift to the community ever. She found out that there might not be a Drag Stage in the park for Baltimore Pride due to a lack of funding. So what did she do? She singlehandedly lead a fundraising drive, bringing together Baltimore Drag Queens and Drag Kings, the Leather Community, and other performers, at numerous bars and venues in and around the Baltimore area, to raise the ALL of the funds necessary to insure that Baltimore Pride would have a Drag Stage in the park! I must not fail to point out, that she did all of this in less than seven weeks prior to Baltimore Pride. This may have been her greatest achievement for our community, but it was still only one of many.

Lady Lisa is sadly missed by our community, her family, and her friends! She was taken away from us way too soon. But she must have been needed elsewhere.

We Love You, Lady Lisa!

The above is an adaptation written by Paulie Treadway of an article by Mark Hunter after Lady Lisa’ s passing. Mark and I were both very close friends with Lady Lisa. We love her and miss her so very much! And we thank the powers that be, that we were blessed to be a part of her journey on this earth.
