Zaine
‘Sascha’ Fierce was the guy who gave us the famed Sydney drag queen Beyoncé
G-Spot, and Beyoncé was an entrepreneur. At the heart of every entrepreneur is
a passion for what they do and a passion for life, and Zaine, Beyoncé, or Mark
as I knew him, showed us that in spades when he lived here in Sydney.
Beyoncé
G-Spot was created in 2004 and over the next five years was front and centre of
the Sydney drag industry. She single-handedly raised thousands of dollars for
charity through selling ‘$1 Suckie’ lollipops on many a Sydney dance floor;
created the popular TwinkTown club nights; and in 2007 won three DIVA Awards
including the DIVA Rising Star. I remember Beyoncé fondly as a queen who was
creative, talented and determined to make it. At that time I was on the DIVA
Board and had many a moment with Beyoncé, who could also be sometimes difficult
and demanding. It’s all this that made her, well, unforgettable.
Zaine
and his partner Roland moved to Hamburg, Germany in 2009 where Zaine
established a DJ career playing throughout Europe and started his own lace
front wig business. In 2013, at only 32 years old, Zaine unexpectedly passed
away.
Now,
a small group of her friends have been putting together a spectacular tribute
Mardi Gras Parade entry – the Beyoncé G-Spot Memorial Float – in celebration of
her life.
