Kristara is back in Alaska for Pride with “Kristara Live and in the Raw,” a show to benefit the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Anchorage (GLCCA) and Alaska Pride, on Saturday, June 9 at Mad Myrna’s. Featuring Alaska’s finest entertainers, and co-emceed by the all time favorite Mikey LaChoy.

The mysterious and somewhat mythical persona of Kristara came about surprisingly from the X-files, a diverse and complex genre of the adult entertainment industry — a revealing self-portrait that allows a unique insight into an astute world. Kristara was crowned Empress 17, 26, Regent 30, 32 of Imperial Court of All Alaska in the year that was right. She has won prestigious awards all over the International Court System and is widely sought for her remarkable command performances. She spearheaded the first ever “Biking for AIDS” which raised huge amounts of money. The “Ultimate Ultimate Ecstacy” was also instrumental in the development of the Breast Cancer Awareness Program, which was her platform as Empress XXVI. She has been recognized for her efforts organizing fund raising events such as Fund for Prescription Drugs, Pennies from Heaven, Honolulu Marathon for Leukemia, and the million dollar Together for Tomorrow event for one of the local hospitals.

Kristara has appeared in every form of media known to mankind and penned a column entitled “Behind the Face” for the NorthView Newsletter – a community bulletin of information. She headlined at the famed “LaCage Aux Wave” and Juneau’s “Femme Fatale.” She founded “Kristara In The Raw…Legends Extraordinaire” that was well received in the Alaska community. Kristara received the coveted Peter Disperito Award on September 2002, and hosted the cabaret Friday Night Divas cabaret at Mad Myrna’s.

Kristara has earned numerous titles all over the country.  For years the Imperial Court of All of Alaska has granted her the title of “Advisor to their Majesties in the Field of Fashion and Glamour.”

She is a DIVA, who sets the standards, for all that follow. One name says it all…
