Sestre (drag act)
Sestre are a Slovenian drag act that represented Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. [1][2] They were among the bookies favourites to win. [3]
Tomaž (Marlenna), Damjan (Emperatrizz) and Srečko (Daphne) had been performing together since 2000 under the name Suspender Sisters with a classic drag queen show program. In February 2002, they competed in and won the Slovenian pre-selection and so represented Slovenia on Eurovision 2002 in Tallinn. [4] [5] They placed 13th with 33 points.
In October 2002, they released their first album, Souvenir by Menart with the support of a co-operational team Dom Svobode: Magnifico, Barbara Pešut and Schatzi. The album was recorded in Slovene, but most of the songs are translated in English, Spanish, French and German.[6][5]
