ETHYLINA CANNE
Ethylina Canne is thrilled to return to this year’s Eastern Sierra Pride Festival. Her career started in the mid 90’s at the now legendary Trannyshack drag club, created and hosted by her dear friend Heklina, who, with many others, spearheaded the first Pride Festival in Bishop three years ago. During the last 30 years, Ethylina has brought home the titles of Miss Fathom in 1998, Miss Viva Drag in 2006, Desert Drag Race Season #1 winner in 2014, and Audience Favorite for Queen of the Desert in 2014. She was also named the Best in Drag winner in 2016 by the Alliance for Housing & Healing, given the Desert AIDS Project’s Everyday Hero Award in 2018, sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in 2019, and crowned GED Magazine’s OUTstanding Drag Diva in 2020. Last year, she was honored by the City of Palm Springs as the Community Grand Marshal for the Pride Parade and Festival and, on her 50th birthday, the Mayor and City Council of Cathedral City declared July 9th “Ethylina Canne Day.” She’s an actress, hostess, comedian, entertainer, officiant, bingo ball caller, AND a Tupperware Lady residing in sunny Palm Springs, by way of Morro Bay on California’s Central Coast. She’s a small-town girl who never lets anyone rain on her parade and knows that living your authentic life is THE BEST LIFE!! She leads with JOY and can’t wait to celebrate the diversity and FABULOSITY of everyone at the festival! #dragisnotacrime
