Jorge has worked within the pageantry industry for the past 15+ years and has meshed his love of design and creativity with the art of DRAG. What he once only put into drawings and paintings, is now gracing stages across Texas.
Jorge’s muse, Ruby Ja’Mean, whom is also his partner of 20 years, both help create elaborate and stone encrusted costumes, showgirl headpieces, state & national pageant gowns, hair up-dos and everything else in between. Jorge has back-staged many queens & male entertainers in different pageantry systems; from local city pageants, city prelims, state and national prelims. This has allowed him to experience and understand what it takes to put a contestant together.
