Winning two of the three prominent drag pageants by becoming Miss Gay San Francisco 2008 and Miss Desperate DIVA 2008, she has worked tirelessly as a fundraiser for the likes of the AIDS Housing Alliance, Under One Roof, Larkin Street Youth, Lyric, GLAAD, The Trevor Project and many more. Her charitable work has earned her recognition by the California State Senate with a Proclamation from Senator Mark Leno and winner of the Sylvester Inspiration Award, and she has become a household name in the San Francisco gay community.
As an entertainer and hostess, BeBe can be scene every week hosting and performing at countless events and parties in the City. Included are her weekly Play With BeBe Trivia Night at the historic Harvey's in the Castro. One of the few drag personalities to sing live while performing, BeBe has literally graced every notable stage in San Francisco, bridging many gay sub-community gaps. She has also been the opening act for Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland, "Ugly Betty's" Alec Mapa and comedienne Shirley Q. Liquor. Adding recording artist to her list of performance accomplishments, Ms. Sweetbriar has completed her first dance single, "Save Me," released nationally with an accompanying music video. As a writer, BeBe authors a weekly column called FAME interviewing local, national and international celebrities for EDGE Network Media, the largest LGBT news and entertainment network in the world.
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" working with former Miss Trannyshacks Precious Moments, Fauxnique, and Pollo Del Mar. Both of these performances led to her selection for the lead role in Aisha Media's next film to begin production in the summer of 2011.
Dee Hana Two Spirits has been playing guitar and singing for folks since she was 14. She started writing songs in her later teen years, but started seriously writing in her late 20s. Music has always been a very important part of her life. Her songs reflect her life, her struggles and her recovery. She started her journey of transition as a trans woman late in life, and as it twisted and turned, so did her life and her musical journey. She did sex work to support her drug habit, and then her new journey of recovery began. She loves the clean life and music is her life...her passion...music is what inspires her to keep living and be full of hope.

Cinnamon, the closing act, has been stripping for about five years and recently ended a year term as Lead Madam at the Lusty Lady. She’s done many other types of sex work and performance other than stripping, including Penny Arcade’s BITCH DYKE FAGHAG WHORE, CrashPad, Black Widows and more. She won Miss Big and Beautiful at Market Street Cinema last year one of the very few times she's performed at another strip club other than the Lust Lady. If she could get hired at other strip clubs, she’d be more than happy to give those a try too, but due to her size and color, that is not likely in the bay area. She loves the way she looks and wouldn’t change it for the world, but she wants to try to change the tiny idea of what beauty is “supposed” to be in strip clubs and sex work.
Relax in the SOMArts garden (under the freeway) between sets or before the show. Very San Francisco!
