In the early 1990s Paddy and a friend published a newsletter which was part of Wildside. Paddy was always a fan of videotaping and taking photographs. Luckily someone noticed Paddy's work and that Someone was JoAnne Roberts, publisher of Ladylike Magazine. JoAnne gave Paddy the opportunity to make an entire magazine devoted to the Queens of Toronto. The prototype was the Queens of '93 and this led to the creation of Drag Queens International. Paddy produced 16 Issues. Anyone involved in print magazines in the early nineties remembers them fondly - little did they know everything would go digital - and their magazines would be among the last to be published in print. It is with this fond memory that Paddy presents some of her collection.
