Nichole Ellington Du'pree
Heeeyy ya'll! For those who haven't had the pleasure my name is Nichole Ellington Du'pree. I have been in the business for 19 yrs. I started in nashville, tn @ the warehouse 2. Under the direction of Vanessa Del Rio, Nichole was born. Rita Ross, Christian Paige, Diana Hutton, Stephanie Wells, Bianca Paige, Dana Alexander were all a very powerful influence in the shaping of my style, my grace, and persona. After winning Bianca's newcomer pageant, I moved to atlanta. I dated the spotlight guy and eagerly watched the shows there. I finally was approached by Charlie Brown and my life as a professional showgirl took off! Heather Daniels, Shawnna Brooks, Lena Lust, Lilly White, Lady Jonel, and Raven molded me and scorned me when I messed up. It was rough but I felt the love so I took notice and through dedication and lots of blood, sweat and yes tears, I emerged. I moved back 2 nashville and was hired @ the chute. Competed in several pageants of which most I won. Miss music city, miss nashville, miss grand diva, miss tennessee continental, miss alabama continental, just to name a few. Are my pageant days over??? For now possibly, but who knows..... Needing change and stepping out the shadows I left the chute, went to Blu where I was show director 4 two yrs before leaving there to go to Play where I've been for the last 6 years. Loving my audience and helping the new ones know that yes its fun, but its also a lot of work. Simply more than just a change of clothes and wigs!!!! Keeping it spicy is always my goal, so what's next 4 me??? Stay tuned as I continue to evolve!!!! Never give up when your heart says go! Love always, Nichole Ellington Dupree

Sara Andrews
Sara has been doing drag since she was old enough to get into a club. She got her start at The Connection of Nashville, where she did amateur nights with Calpernia Addams and, later, with Austria Andrews. After taking a few years off to find herself and begin her transition, she was asked to join the cast of La Boy Le Fem.
Shortly thereafter, a new club was getting ready to open. The owners approached Sara and asked her to join their cast when the club would open. She accepted and was one of the founding PLaY Mates, alongside Jordan Kennedy, Chyna, and Austria Andrews. She has been at PLaY ever since.
During that time, she has managed to make a name for herself outside of Nashville as well, performing across the country at some of the most renowned clubs and venues... a task that is not easy to do for a girl who has yet to enter any National pageants. Just to name a few, she has performed at Stonewall in WV, Legends in NC, The Quest and Icon in AL, Upside Downtown in IL, The Parliament House in FL, Revolution in FL, and Pulse in FL.
Come see Sara every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and every other Sunday at PLaY Dance Bar... unless she's on the road, of course, in which case you can find her at http://facebook.com/SimplySaraAndrews.

Throughout the journey of Venus's drag career she has been giving the title of the "dancing queen." It's not unusual to see her doing backflips or dropping down into the splits on stage, but there is so much more to Venus then some of the skills and talent she displays on stage.

Venus enjoys female impersonation for countless of reason. "The best part is the people I get to meet and the amazing fans. I love the feeling I get when I walk out on stage seeing the crowd enjoying my show."
Venus stated that "Becoming a PLAYMATE was a dream I have been dreaming for a while and has now accomplish. The day I became a PLAYMATE was a day of celebration, a day to celebrate all the hard work that has gotten me to the place where I am today. Every day is a day of thanks, a day to thank all the family, friends, and fans who has helped and supported me to get me to where I am today. Today is the day of reflection. With my dedication and the willingness to grow with drag and schooling, I am privilege, privilege in the most important since of the word, which is that I have almost boundless opportunities in front of me. I promise to always give a 110% from my first step on the stage to my last and most importantly off stage and outside of the art of female impersonation. Thank you everyone who has believed and supported me and continue to!"
