HOW DID YOU GET YOUR NAME? I don’t know why Sherry came up, but that was the first time I ever did drag. I was living in L.A. back then. My roommate at the time, he was the one that kind of did the look and the wig and the makeup because I had never really done it before. And I asked him, “What’s my name?” And he said, “You should be Sherry.” I don’t know why, but it just sounded to me like a showgirl, so it was just Sherry for a while. Then, a guy I had worked with at a restaurant, he was like, “Oh, my god, did you know there’s an apartment building on Vine Street off of Hollywood and Vine called the Sherry?” And I went up there to see it and it looked like a busted down whorehouse. Perfect. Sherry Vine. Because the Vine actually comes from Vine Street. Hollywood Boulevard used to be so glamorous and people would come here expecting that, and when you go see it, you’re like devastated. But that’s where it comes from. TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE DOING PRESENTLY AND THEN WE WILL GET BACK TO THIS PARTY THING. I moved to L.A. five years ago, so it’s full circle. Sherry Vine started in L.A. and then I was in New York City for almost 30 years, and now I’m back in L.A. five years ago. I moved here because I wanted to shake things up. I feel like life is like a snow globe and you just want it really shaken up. I wanted to do more TV stuff, so I moved here, and with the help of a production company, I am able to sell the Sherry Vine Variety Show. We are currently right now selling season 3. That is on <strong>Out</strong> TV, the first two seasons. And will premiere the first of June. That is super, super exciting, and another dream come true. We do Golden Girls live on stage here twice a year with an all-male cast. We are getting ready to do that at the end of this month. Then, I have two months of doing my birthday show all over the world. So crazy<strong>–</strong>I’m booked through the end of May. It’s crazy to be this age and 33 years performing in drag and be busier than I’ve ever been.
LET’S GET BACK TO THIS PARTY. WHAT ARE YOUR COSTUMES GOING TO BE? I have really turned the volume up. I have never spent so much money on costumes. But I was kind of like, “If I’m going to walk on stage and be a 60-year-old drag legend, then I need to look the part.” I don’t mean looking 60, but you know what I mean. So, David is a genius and he’s been doing stuff for me for 30 years. David is making the opening gown, which is going to be a showstopper. Then I’m doing this kind of Judy Garland tuxedo, I’m having that made, but in like a yellow sequin as kind of a nod to Judy Garland. And then, I have this purple sequined gown that looks so royal and rich. So, three new, gorgeous, over the top, very expensive costumes, but I’ll be able to wear them for a long time. I want to first walk out and have people go, “Oh, my gosh, she looks great for 60, yay.” And then I want to make them laugh their ass off. I want them to have a gorgeous time and maybe see some stuff they’re not used to seeing Sherry Vine do. I’m doing this Judy Garland number that’s not a parody. I’ve wanted to do it for 20 years but never had the nerve. I’m working with a vocal coach. I want to knock this song out of the park.
