Butchie is the The public performing Drag King persona of an Ancilla Toreador. A comedian and lip sync performing male impersonator, Butchie harkens back to the stone butch days before the Stonewall Riots. He's loves the freedom of the Anarch Movement, and is a protector.
Butchie arrived as a performance artist in the DC area in the late 2000s, with most of his fellow performing Kings' group it was time to move on lest he raise questions. His new persona and style is different than it was in the 70s-90s, and has more modern touches.
- Butchie's true birth look would shock and scare.
- He has a Drag Queen Girlfriend.
- He likes some creep... disturbing creep.
- "The performance is the art, not the song or singing..."
- "I'll thank you to take your hands off my friend..."
- "He's more of a man than most. My man." - Queenie Lafontaine Paris
- "It is difficult to opine that Butchie's art is truly transgressive when we are all impersonators here, more or less." - Zoltan Vancura
