SoCal's Finest: Epiphany Get Paid

Q. Who is Epiphany Get Paid? Where does she come from?
A. Epiphany Get Paid is a drag persona I cultivated over the last 5 years that I've been doing drag. When I first started this whole drag thing, I struggled with naming myself. I wanted it to be a word, not a lady name. I was a little tipsy one night and some lesbians asked me, "Why don't you have a name yet?" and I replied, "I guess I'm just waiting for an epiphany". From the moment it came out of my mouth, I knew that was it. The middle and last names were also just as random. When I created my Facebook profile, the website demanded that I give them a last name. In a moment without hesitation, I wrote Get for middle, and Paid for last name, not knowing the whole world was going to see what I had written for the rest of time.

She is also from San Diego hense the beautiful, entitled, beachy, blonde who learned how to drink in a frat house.

Q. I'm sure many Tranny chasers follow you. What's the oddest story you have about boys who like boys in dresses?
A. Yes tranny-chasers follow me, but they don't always like me cause I'm not really a tranny! Most of them want fake tits and I'm just not that committed. I do get a lot of totally straight men who have never done anything with anyone with a dick. I'm pretty enough for them to go through with it and justify it to themselves later. That being said, I rarely actively go for them, I prefer gay boys who don't need a costume to get off.

As for odd stories, the odd one of the moment is a man who wants to meet me before I go to work, we sit down at his kitchen table, have a drink chat a little. Then he wants me to throw pies and cakes in his face while he laughs. He thinks this situation, tossing pastry in the face is the funniest thing ever. He's a nice guy, not bad looking, very average. He pays me, and I leave, that's it. I do it often and I can't tell you how weird it is when someone looks at a fresh wet white stain on my dress and I lick it off and look into their horrified eyes and say, "It's frosting... I swear".



Q. Why do ALL of your boyfriends turn into drag queens?
A. All my boyfriends turn into drag queens because I'm just the "gateway drag". They already want to do it, but when they see how much fun I have doing drag, they want to as well. I also usually go for boys who are young pretty and crazy, all things you need to start doing drag. Also many gay boys find that their "social masculinity" is in danger if they date someone like me. I make them bi-sexual in the other gay men's eyes if they date a drag queen. Meanwhile, most of the "Chealsea boys" at the clubs spend more time in front of a mirror obsessing about their image, wear more makeup, and have bigger tits than I do. And I don't know about you, but when I see a hot gay "man" and I start talking to him within seconds of him opening his mouth, purses, heels, and earrings start pouring out and he turns into a woman. Making even me look butch.

Q. What was it like to sleep with Logan Slaughter?
A. Sleeping with Logan Slaughter was lame, he snores.

Q. What's your makeup of choice?
A. On the rare occasion I wear makeup I float between Makeup Forever, Ben Nye, Krylon, Elmers gluestick, Mattese, RCMA, MAC.

Q. Who is the most annoying person in nightlife? Why?
A. Wow there really are so many. This should be a category at the Glammys. Duh its YOU, Jane! Anyone who puts together a disgusting look and then criticizes everyone else for not appreciating it, well, is annoying. Look up disgust in Wikipedia (the most trusted source) says: "unclean, inedible, infectious or otherwise offensive". Someone who accomplishes all this, gets drunk, and then plays adult baby? If you weren't so intelligent and witty, I'd get you banned from every nightclub in NYC!


Q. Epiphany Get Paid in 10 Years. GO -
A. In 10 years it will be Epiphany Got Paid, I will move on to something else that doesn't take as much energy. Perhaps like re-inventing the nature of time in the Himalayan mountains. Right now, I'm just enjoying time as it is. Or rather how I pretend that it is.
