Get Out! GAY Magazine – Issue 552

BY JIM SILVESTRI
DRAG PERFORMER
OF THE MONTH
SVETLANA STOLI
Best description of my drag:
Campy, unique, relatable
How many years I’ve been
at it: 12 years full time!
Original hometown: Izhevsk,
Russia
Favorite number to do: My
original parody, “Welcome to
My Hole”
A number I will NEVER do:
“Cozy” by Beyoncé. It won’t
make any sense for someone
looking like me to even try to
do it.
Favorite cosmetic product:
I’m contractually obligated to
say Carolina Herrera beauty
products (since it’s my day job
now). But we truly have one of
the best eyeliners in the game!
Reason I started drag:
Depression, lol
Most important diva ever:
Madonna, duh. And Cher. It’s
impossible to choose, but I
guess for me, it all started with
Madonna, so…
A drag performer I admire:
So many legends, I can’t
name one…Jackie Beat, my
mother Sherry Vine, Dina
Martina, Coco Peru, Bianca
Del Rio, my sister Kari
Kerning….
The man of
my dreams:
He actually
just left for
work. Very
lucky to
have finally
a man of my
own, even
though…
well, he is
technically
still living
with
someone else, lol.
Drink of choice:
MILKSHAKE! I like it
creamyyyyyy.
Best thing about drag: Being
your own creative director
Worst thing about drag:
Shaving, bunions, general
parade within nightlife
Proudest drag moment I’ve
had: So many this year–just
cultivating my night at Balcon
Salon and going from the
solo show with some guests
to creating a very special
monthly talent show and
turning Unhinged Tuesdays
into a place to be.
Weirdest drag moment I’ve
had: Any bad gig is weird,
because it never should be
bad. When you work doing
what you love to do, but
something makes you feel
unhappy in that work process,
that is weird. It shouldn’t be
like that.
Best advice to a new
queen: Please stop. This is
an oversaturated market, if
you can’t offer a unique take
on drag, go away. All these
new girls do the same damn
shit. Wear the same outfits,
same hair, do the same songs
and have the same moves.
The drag scene is just like a
factory of boring right now. Be
exciting, find your own point of
view, stop trying to be a clone
of a performer you like.
New Year’s Resolution: Get
a new hairline. Does it count?
Lol.
Where to find me: Balcon
Salon every Tuesday! Come
at 7 PM, catch our happy hour,
and stay for the show!

CELEBRITY CORRESPONDENT
Meet Abelardo
also known as the dancer named Turco!
They say dance is the
hidden language of
the soul…especially if
you’re a New York City
nightlife dancer.
Turco, a/k/a Abelardo,
engages everyone
who sees him in a
conspiracy of love.
Turco has a dazzling
flare and leaves a
trailer of glitter that
is never forgotten.
Although he doesn’t
plan to be a dancer
for the rest of his
life, right now
he is having
fun with it.
Not all gifts are tied
in ribbons–some
surprise us when
they arrive, and
watching Turco
dance is one such
gift.

INTERVIEW
Hello, Turco. What inspired you
to become a dancer in the New
York nightlife?
It never crossed my mind to be
a dancer, but the opportunity
arose and I did it.
Do you have other talents or
hobbies that you do when you
are off from dancing?
When I’m not dancing, I like to
be at home and play volleyball.
Do you plan to make dancing
a forever career or is there
something else on the horizon
for you?
I have other plans in mind.
Dancing is something
temporary.
How many times do you go to
the gym a week? Do you have
a special regimen you do?
I train six days a week. I just try
to eat well and take care of my
health and body.
Tell us something about you
that no one else knows?
I like to be alone, I don’t like to
talk sometimes.
When and where can you be
found working?
I work in different bars, when
they reach out to me. I was
recently booked at Friend’s
Tavern, Viva La Heights, Boxers,
MB Bar Boutique, and Hush
Bar, plus there are bookings
in January that are being
confirmed.
Do you have a New Year’s
resolution?
I have things in mind, but time
will tell and I have my desire to
achieve it.
What are your social media
handles?
