She was wonderfull and strong till the end.....we knew each other many many years and i have lots of memories....especially when she talked me into doing that Cell Block Tango number!! LOL......A very sweet person but could be very sarcastic funny also.....she left all her drag to a good friend of mine........all of her trophys, dresses and photos and music.....we will keep forever.
Wow, I am so sorry I was unaware of this - Paul and I went to SWTSU in the middle 70's and we were good friends! Paul helped me a lot when I came out in 1973 and was a sweetheart. Her first drag name was "Pauletta Renee Leigh", later on, she would tell me, "Drop the Renee". I rarely missed a show, whether it was in an appartment or a bar in Austin, San Antonio, or in San Marcos! Loved Paul, he was the nicest person ever. The sweet hereafter is a better place with him there! Love ya Pauletta!
I had no idea Pauletta passed away. I will and have missed her since I left San Antonio. I tended bar at the Saint and she was always making me laugh. I have very special memories of Pauletta. Now, heaven is getting a drag show to die for, with Tandi Andrews, Chanel White, Sassy St. James, Brenda K. Star...and Raphael as the loving manager. I miss them all......
"Pauletta" was my 2nd grade teacher and later became a good friend to me and my friend Natasha Tokyo...I will forever miss her. I found my report card Pauletta, and you got an A+
i first met pauletta in the early 80's at the paper moon in san antonio she was a legend then as she is now i will miss a ture friends as well as a true how i miss the days of my youth going to the clubs seeing divs's such as pauleta , sweet savage , shady lady , brie alexander divinty fudge , oh my youth.... lol rest in piece my diva my friend and i would love to have the name of the song she is singing in this video
she was truely an inspiration and a drag staple in the san antonio community b4 all your current knowns...a friend to all , she was quick witted on the mic and always a class act, and a fan favorite..a texas/san antonio first in drag.......... a saint , at the saint........
i too miss her, all though I didn't know her, she was the very first queen I saw perform at the saint, and it planted a see in this drag queen........... always a class act on stage
Pauletta touched so many lives and I admired her so much..i was fortunate to know her and she saw me as I first started dressing and finally convinced me to do my first show and I will never forget her.
Thank you to whomever produced this tribute. Pauletta was my drag mother, as she was to so many. I began my drag career in her apartment in 1983. Jimmy James and I both were born in that apartment that same night. I owe so much to Pauletta as well as to Paul. I will miss you dearly, my dear friend. Stewart aka Shaye Stephens
Whoever put this tribute you are awesome!! I miss her so much. I remember going to her place and watching "Funny Lady". I miss the old times--who remembers "Madame Racine?"
AMAZING VIDEO, Miss Pauletta believed in me at newcomer of the year 2001 at the saint. I love the tribute. You did such an amazing job. Thank you. We use to chat every night and gossip, joke around, and talk about DRAG BABY.Miss pauletta is greatly missed by me. She use to tell me that I was a crazy drag queen. Oh, and she loved her cats too. great videos.
