MONTRESE HOLLAR

Through the years since I've seen the most of you last I've been on the go non-stop. I've traveled the country... and outside of it a couple times.... entertaining and workin in the industry. During the years I've also worked countless 2nd jobs in countless fields.... nursing, factory worker, server, interiors designer, roofer... n gawd knows what else. But entertaining and the world within has become my life. From stage performance to behind the scenes..... i love it all.

Over the past 10 years I've won many awards ranging in Make-up artistry, Hair design, Choreography, Prop and Set design, Costume and Fashion design, etc... On stage performance has been a major growing experience as well. Both as male performance and Female Impersonation. I hold several titles as a male performer/dancer including a National Title as Mr. New World 2007. I've obtained few also in female impersonation as well, including a state title and competeing at the national level. Ranging from erotic male dancing to character illusion my stage life has been and is continuing to be a highlight of my life.

Modeling here and there for various forums and events has sprinkled my journey as well. I've work with such designers as Geoffrey Mac, Lip Service, and others... Aspiring to be such a well know designer myself someday made these experiences unforgettable.

My life has been littered with much excitement and joy such as New Years in Times Square, to a trip to London, and road trips to everywhere inbetween..... I do thank god that I've been so blessed.... it hasn't all been sunny days along the way.... lot's of heartache, pain, and hard work. Deaths of friends, falling out of touch w loved ones, and yes I've slept a few nights in my car and other various equally uncomfortable places.... but never-the-less, you must take the good with the bad.... and I gladly do.

As all of you should remember I lead quite an alternative lifestyle... and through this I've had a few meaningful relationships and friendships. Companions have come and gone, but only one has held his place in my heart and will for countinuous lifetimes to come. His name is Rick and even though we are not together anymore that was the 4 most glorious years of my life, and it is to that that we are friends to this day. For there cannot be a person in ones life so special as to not always be a part of it no matter what trials and tribulations has been endured. Currently I'm working on what hopes to be my final relationship. His name is Mark and I foresee many years of happiness and a life full of just that.... LIFE.

My current big project has fully consumed my life lately. I'm working on an independant film called "My Guaranteed student Loan". Working as a Production Assitant, Make-Up and hair Artist, and working as a supporting cast member, it is becoming no easy task. The film stars Academy, Tony and various other award winning actors and actresses as well as recording artists. Such people as Celeste Holm, Julie Brown, Richard Pryor Jr, Janet Caroll, Zelda Rubenstein, Alexis Houston, Quentin Elis, Jeannie Sol, Dame Edna, Mele Mel and Martha Wash. It looking to be quite the project. I'm doing some of the costuming for the movie as well. I've made pieces for Richard Pryor Jr and Martha Wash. Exciting!!!!! All in all the next month and a half shall be an experience.

There are so many memories from our times together it's hard to pick just one..... My most vivid memories were of Orchestra class and our trips..... Falling asleep in class and Webb or Farrel didn't know I was there til I sat up at the end of class..... Giving Farrel hell her fist year was my soul duty my senior year.... it's funny though for the years after graduation she was one of my fav party friends.... I took her to gay bars all over... LOL I even remember "dancing" at her B-day party.... LOL funny how things end up working out.... The many games of Bullshit we played on the floor...... or our Boosters voulenteer work...The time our bus broke down and we all jumped the fence to obey mother natures call and found a frozen pond to skate on til the other bus came... or our first big away competition at Kings Island HS our freshman year. This was before we had uniforms so Mr Webb told everyone to dress "casual" and since we were going to King Island after competeing everyone showed up in jerseys and shorts and Jenny Hoerstian had her "thigh-high" rainbow socks on.... Mr Webb flipped out and almost canceled the trip. We got there and the other high schools were making fun of how we looked and were dressed... Mr Webb was freaked at how the judges would respond..... we played our pieces for the judging and headed to the park. After a few hours of riding rides goofin off, avoiding Webb... n smokin LOL we all met back in the middle to get our judging......... SUPERIOR RATINGS all the way baby....... just goes to show.... it's all about the talent! And Talent we did have.....

Mrs Windles class was alwayz a hoot to.... those of us in the her class always had a good time.... I wonder...... didn't we burry a time capsal... I wonder what happened to it.

How about Sr Peppers who was always so high he couldn't remember what he did n din't teach us so when we got our test he was testing us on shit we didn't know.....

My Mother getting in Mr Roofner's shit about my grades and making him cringe like an abused kitten.... NOW THAT WAS THE SHIT LOL

Always skippin Mr Baileys class to go smoke cause I'd stil get a B weather i was in class or not.... LOL

I had my fun with some of the boyz through our years... I would never say names..... but they know who they are.... and they weren't all students either ... ;0)>~

Having Billy Jean Smith in Mr Bailey's class was never dull either.... the day either Butch (Jonny Smith, or Rod was pickin on here and she said as serious as she could "stop it.... only my daddy touches me there" in this little girls voice..... the class howled at that....

everyone meeting up at Godfathers after the football games......

Having my best friend and fellow outted gay boi be our prom king.... take a bow Ms. Steven Bradley LOL

We lost a few friends as well over those years..... they sure were some eventfilled times...


It's crazy I remember this stuff.... sometimes I wish it never ended.... I was always one of the ones that couldn't wait for graduation.... couldn't wait to be done with it all.... then after it was all said and done.... you were so use to being on that schedule everyday (wether you followed it or not) and seeing you friends.... as time went on... people lost touch.... friends weren't friends anymore....our schedules were hard to keep up with.... and it felt a bit lonely.... but life goes on and my life now is filled with new friends and new schedules..... but I sure do miss the old ones!
