Captial B-A-S-I-A.. BASIA..

[2710Pocahontas]

Most of the gay kids that recorded all of Basia's pageants in Columbia, SC have either moved away or died away. Can some of her children in Florida put some more of her performances on YouTube. It's a shame that she did ALL of those pageants and no one has placed them or convert those VHS to digital video. I will be waiting to see which one will be posted next.

Oh yes, one of the best performers that ever lived. Legendary, a truth that sometimes the good die young. Basia was a major impersonation talent. I had the great pleasure of seeing her perform many times and even once judged a pageant that she most definitely won hands down! Truly missed and one of the very best!!!

[2710Pocahontas]

I knew Basia (Roosevelt) very well from the late 80's to the early 90's. Believe it or not, Basia started out doing "Prince" impersonations. It was so funny seeing Basia doing a male number dancing like she was a showgirl. LOL!!! We used to always sit around Wella's house and Reegie's (RIP Robert Wolley) at 1222 Greg Street playing around in drag. Wella put her then lover (Roosevelt) in drag and the rest was history. After going to Jacksonville, Basia came back pumped out of her mind!!

@2710Pocahontas Basia was my Gay Mother.

[2710Pocahontas]

@reneusofa Your gay mother was a trip! Sometimes she would be in between shows or pageants and walk around Columbia, SC. with a full beard and breasts. We had so much fun! We used to call her the bearded lady. LOL!!!!!!!!! I miss her a lot. I remember being backstage taping everything up from her tuck to her nipple pasties. In 1992, she used to stay with me in my condo whenever she came to Columbia. Hit me up sometimes when you want to know more about your mother; smootches ♥

@2710Pocahontas Basia was my Gay ma, & I always thought she gave a different outlook on drag.

Atomevil I'm sorry but I chose to remove your comment not bc of your opinion on Basia, but I just could not deal w/ the grammatical errors and the mispelled words. It would have left many kids who loved Basia to attack you and like the reply to your message stated all my posts are in honor. I don't like some comments but I have been taught to respect everyone thoughts even if they differ from mine.

[NewChild]

My mother always taught me if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all. I must admit there are some performers I'm not fond of as well but I will never post anything negative about them. My videos are posted to honor those queens no longer w/ us and by no means to show disrespect.

[amityville2atl]

Im over this dress Basia gave the kids for this song she is still missed rest in peace you diva you!!

[blatinoscorpion3000]

Bow down bitches in the presence of royalty...The capital B A S I A, the best performer/ showgirl ever to stamp her mug and grace a stage for the kids. Miss Basia made sacrifices that most girls will never know. I knew her as a friend and companion. She is loved and missed.

[jpurify08]

Yes ma'am miss basia. she set the bar for the jacksonville girls to be a lady and graceful and most of all rich. I wish I had the pleasure of seeing her perform unfortunately she was before my time. To a lovely lady, you will be missed yet never forgotten for you were great.
