AMANDA (Glen Paulin): Celebration of Life

by RAYMOND HELKIO

"I'm pretty lucky to be right where I want to be, especially for my beautiful sister Amanda, on stage celebrating her life and all of the things she did for our community." –Sylvia

Tonight, come out to Woody's/Sailor and celebrate the life of drag queen Amanda, (aka Glen Paulin) from Toronto's legendary drag troupe, The Freaks. This star-studded celebration paints tribute to an amazing entertainer and friend to the community. Amanda passed away this past July and so tonight is a chance to come together in her honour. Expect laughs, old friends and plenty of hugs. 

According to the event host Sylvia (aka Ben McGuire, The Freaks) she's looking forward to "seeing people I haven't seen in way too long. You know, I'm always nervous before any show because you just want it to be great for everyone on and off stage. But I think for me, it 's mixed in with the excitement because I love the stage and what it can mean to someone in the audience."
