Frank* never thought that dressing in drag would be a regular part of his life. “I performed one time and I thought it was only going to be a one-time thing, but when I came to University Park one show led to another, and now I’m the main queen in State College. It all happened so quickly,” Frank said. 

Almost four years after that first performance Frank is now regularly performing at the drag shows in the HUB and at Levels Night Club in State College as Anita Coxxx, a pretty, gorgeous, powerful drag queen who loves one-shoulder dresses and leopard print clothing.

During the day Frank enjoys working as a manager at a few State College restaurants and caring for his dog. He also enjoys spending time with Josh, his boyfriend of two years, who is also the State College drag queen Carrie Oakey. 

 

*Frank asked that his last name not be to protect his privacy.
