Introducing my alter ego Désirée Joséphine Duplantier!

Désirée Joséphine Duplantier 


It's time for me to come out of the Drag Queen closet on my blogg. For the past year and a half I have been doing Drag. My alter ego is the fabulous "Désirée Joséphine Duplantier". Désirée Joséphine Duplantier is a big mix of A Southern Belle, The "Golden Age" of Hollywood glamour of the 1930's,40's & 50s. The strong woman in my family and the French Aristocratic grande dame you might see sitting at a French cafe with her big hat and pearls on. Désirée Joséphine Duplantier started 2 Halloweens ago as fun and has blossomed into a big part of my life that I would like to share here on my blogg. Becoming Désirée Joséphine Duplantier has open up new doors for me as a person and artist. 


As a small child growing up in Mobile, Alabama I use to look at American movie classics. And wanted to be one of the iconic old Hollywood glamour beauties I saw as a child in the movies of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Désirée Joséphine Duplantier has open wonderful doors for Andrew LaMar Hopkins. Désirée Joséphine Duplantier has been invited to many fashionable party's, a week at a château in France, and to walk the red carpet at the Festival de Cannes. Désirée Joséphine Duplantier has become such a big part of the life of Artist and Antiques dealer Andrew LaMar Hopkins that I could not imagine sharing her on my blog or the world. Photo's are from the past year and a half of in the life of Désirée Joséphine Duplantier!
