Ana Matronic sings in the Scissor Sisters, whose first album was No. 1 in the U.K. in 2004.

Miz Ana is also an accomplished faux queen, or anatomically female drag queen (note that she's wearing a wig despite having beautiful hair of her own). When she's feeling sentimental, she will claim to have learned everything she knows on the stage of Trannyshack, a midnight drag cabaret in San Francisco where I got to know her and Squeaky Blonde in the late 90s. I interviewed her in 2005 at her Brooklyn home, where whole rooms are lit with marquee lighting.
