They run in the same orbit as Alaska Thunderfuck, Paula Abdul, Alex Newell, Adore Delano and Ce Ce Peniston, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Scooter, Jade Thirlwall, Self Esteem and Pabllo Vittar, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
