Carrie Fairfield

VR: Where are you living these days?
CF:  New York City

VR: I know this is a hard question, but can you tell us what your life has
been about?
CF: My life has been about living – living life to the fullest and learning every step of the way.

VR: Who was your inspiration growing up?
CF:  I’ve always been a huge fan of Cher – timeless – beautiful – entertaining.  The truest diva.

VR: When you were growing up and each morning you would look in the mirror what did you see?
CF:  A very skinny kid!  HAHA

VR: Can you tell us how that wonderful site of yours.
http://www.carriefairfield.com came about and what is all about?
CF:  Carriefairfield.com was started as a means to help me learn webdesign and HTML.  The domain was purchased for me for Christmas by my friend Scott.  The boards were added sometime later and the rest is history.  Our mission is simple – to provide a place where people can share their experiences with the art of female impersonation.

VR: Tell us, besides being a human being, would you consider yourself to be a
Drag Queen, Club Kid or just someone that likes to dress up and have fun?
CF:  Female impersonation is an art – I feel as if I’m an artist.  People often classify me as a camp queen and to a point – I am – it’s all supposed to be fun – I no longer perform but it is fun to be “in it” every now and then.

VR: Who do you admire these days?
CF:  I’m meeting new entertainers here in NYC – Cashetta, Sweetie, Miss Understood, Hedda Lettuce – it’s a new world here and one that I cann’t wait to sink my teeth into.

VR: What has been your biggest accomplishment to date?
CF:  The success of the website has been the biggest shock of my world so far – I never knew that what we started would take off the way it has.

VR: Do you think you are a nice person or do you think you can be a bitch at
times?
CF:  Depends on my mood – I think on the whole I’m fair and very business minded.  Sometimes that requires me to be a diplomat – other times I have to be a bitch – depends on the situation really.

VR: What do you think makes you stand out above others?
CF:   Hard question – I think the website again is the most successful part of my career.  It is a unique offering to the community and one that people have come to rely on for the most recent news and information on the art of female impersonation.

VR: Do you get nervous when you are asked to speak to a group or perform on stage?
CF:  Not really – I have a theater background so it’s second nature to me.

VR: Have you ever had a true love in life?
CF:  Yes

VR: Where do you see yourself in the future?
CF: Ask me in the future

VR: Who is your favorite fiction character(s), in literature or in the movies, and why?
CF:  None that come to mind

VR: What words of wisdom would you give to someone who is reaching out for help?
CF:  Listen and take everything to heart – use what you can – discard what you can’t – but listen to everything.
