GOOD VALUE

OBVIOUSLY, WE’RE NOT A CHAIN
For over 50 years, Sayler’s has been serving Portland families with what you might expect:

“My approach to drag is through burlesque,”
McCasey explains. “I’ve only lip-synced once
in a performance, so that’s different from the
usual drag numbers that I’ve seen from per
formers across the country. When I performed
in Vancouver, B.C., for their Pride weekend,
1 was told afterward that people had thought
something went wrong at first when 1 didn’t
open my mouth. After the initial shock, the
audience really liked it, and 1 got a lot of sup
portive feedback after the show.”
McCasey describes Charley Horse as “a
white guy trying to assert his masculinity to
such a comical extent that it exposes the
everyday performance of gender that people do.
He’s more of a dork-tumed-metrosexual.

she “put on a big blond wig and became
Sparkleheart.”
Since then she has honed her craft, spend
ing more and more time developing perform
ances that have evolved from variety shows
featuring fire and fan dancing into full-fledged
genderfucking multimedia events incorporating
images and music, dealing with gender fluidity
and pushing the boundaries of love.
DeJanvier defines the line between bur
lesque and striptease by saying that burlesque is
more theatrical and more varied and not about
voyeurism in the capitalist sense. Modem bur
lesque is more subtle, relying on well-timed
choreography to draw an audience in and get it
worked up about things that aren’t as overt and
“in your face” as a simple
striptease.
DeJanvier studied film
and performance art at
Evergreen State College
and San Francisco Art
Institute, and she draws
upon her background in
the theater to create acts
revolving around her
current obsessions. She
describes her shows—billed
as Sparkleheart’s Burly-Q
Underground—as concep
tual and cathartic events
where real issues are turned
into performance and the

adds her own original brand of wisdom and
whimsy to the trend of queer burlesque.
DeJanvier, a self-proclaimed Bjorkian bio
queen performing under the moniker Sparkle
heart, was first exposed to burlesque on Coney
Island, where a woman dressed as a chicken
laid an egg and ate it. Another performance
involved a woman dressed in Rill body metal
who ran a circular saw up and down her body.
DeJanvier put on her first show two years
ago during a John Waters rheme night at
