Footnotes

In a recent interview for the entertainment magazine Instinct, James said of himself, "I actually call it "Glamour Dyke"; I look like a woman, even out of drag, so it takes very little for me to look "female." I used to do drag for my shows when I dressed up as Marilyn Monroe (I retired Marilyn in 1997). I consider myself a singer-songwriter and voice impressionist – a true performance artist."
