Business and The Big, Gay Hudson Valley.

"Nature's pocket, Cooter, Twat... what do YOU call YOUR pussy?"

"Okay Ladies, What's your favorite power-tool and why?"

Queens like Anita Beaver, Godiva DeVyne, Misty Meaner, Dallas Dubois and their 2,000 fans are logging into TheDragDirectory and willing to tell all... Thanks to ever-inquisitive creator and co-founder Jimmy Prada.

Jimmy Prada is boisterous, brash, and bubbly. He'll call anyone, regardless of their gender, a "she" and "lady". He's a self-proclaimed "24-year-old foul-mouthed cunt from New York that hates everybody." But behind his occasionally crass and always high-pitched hysteria is a good, old-fashioned entrepreneur from Poughkeepsie, New York.

Prada created The Drag Directory, a database showcasing queens from across the nation to “4,500 unique visitors daily,” he tells me, in February of this year. He’s also got Jimmysbedroom.com, his personal outlet for wit. His latest post, “Fleshjacking with the Stars”, links to, and provides commentary on, a current contest for a new sex-simulator poster-boy (“If I were Brent Corrigan, I would be humiliated to be sticking my cock into a silicone toy for money”).

But while he’s not cataloging Queens' heel sizes (he’s a 9) and linking to sex-toy contests on his sites, he’s even still working. And on a slightly more down-to-Earth level: event management in suburban Upstate. His company, Marcotte Creative Media, Inc. produces 3-4 major events yearly (the latest was a Home Trade Show for Ulster County). Additionally, he offers promotional printing for exhibitors in his shows with his own GottaGetItPrinted.com.

All of this means cash. DragDirectory and JimmysBedroom currently run GoogleAds, making Jimmy “some money” but he plans to use what he has learned at MCM, Inc. to sell his own advertising for the sites "as soon as he can". So far, his living is primarily made through his more conservative capitalist ventures.

But he’s definitely got his eye on the gay market. As Drag Directory is currently seeking out advertising investments, a bulleted list of Why-The-Gay-Consumer-Should-Be-The-Target-Consumer is on standby: (“77% believe in indulging in themselves” and “are extremely loyal consumers” "twice as likely to pay $250 on cellular service").

As his creativity and his entrepreneurial drive are fierce, Prada plans to fuse his businesses in the very near future. By the end of this year he told me he hopes to have a “HUGE party in New York City with all of my top queens” and tri-state area Drag Revues. As he works out the kinks in his websites, and makes big plans for the future, Jimmy Prada’s goals are set as high as his six-inch heels will allow him to strut.
