Sparkles was conceived in Washington D.C. July 1952. Her sainted mother would often remark that Sparkles' father was an angel. Look up videos for July of '52 and you decide.

Her mother was a seamstress that was often requested by Broadway producers because of her superior sequin work. On April 21, 1953 Sparkles was born in New York City Hospital and wrapped in a sequin blanket.

Sparkles grew up around entertainers and the people who helped them. She was known as the girl who always smiled and loved life. That was until puberty and pink sparkly facial hair grew almost overnight. She was devistated and did the only thing she could think to do. She joined the circus.

The people of the circus saw beyond her facial hair and fell in love with the girl inside. They taught her how to love and be loved. It was a little circus where animal were treated kindly. In fact every living creature was treated with love. She stayed with them until the late sixties when the circus people decided to part ways.

Sparkles went back to New York and lived with her mother in a small apartment on Christopher Street. She got a job tending bar and entertaining. She made many friends and cared for her mother.

1969 is the year that Sparkles refers to as the year of laughter and tears. There were riots in late June that began a road to freedom for Sparkles and her friends and 'family'. Her mother who was in pain because of failing health went to join the angels in September. Sparkles was okay because she knew that her mother was better off.

Sparkles continued to bartend, entertain and save her pennies. She received many men and many gifts from men that dreamed of sharing their life with her. There was and is one special man that has always supported Sparkles and fawned over her.

Then it was time to retire and where else would she move but to Florida! She invited that special man to share a place with her. They enjoyed their time together until one day Sparkles heard a call to help promulgate universal joy, expiate stigmatic guilt and serve the community. She asked that special man what he thought. He laughed and told her that she does that already and to go for it. He would support her in any way he could.

And so Sparkle Spandex became a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence and history begins.
