Mother Flawless Sabrina

Holiday Sauce is dedicated to the memory of my drag mother, Mother Flawless Sabrina who was a legendary mentor to so many young drag performers. It wasn’t her imperfectly-painted face that earned her the title of “Flawless” -- her flawlessness was found through fostering artistic expression as a form of civics. My time spent with Flawless lasted a little less than two years and yet, like the best mothers do for their children, she transformed me by inspiring me to transform myself. “Ur the boss, Apple Sauce,” was her advice to all her drag minions. She meant that it is up to us to create the world we wish to live in.

Wherever we tour Holiday Sauce, we honor a local elder by celebrating the monumental impact they have made as a mentor to their community throughout their life and career. These Queens have made a lasting impact, and we honor their work and the inspiration they offer.

Look to the queens, Queen. Or as Mother Flawless would say, in her best Liza lisp, “Each one teach one.”

With love and great respect,
