Tamisha Iman @ Miss Gay USofA 1999 in talent competition w/Tanisha Iman cameo

[@seansteele9406]

I came to see the powerhouse performer prior to her illness. Yes she is definitely the mother of the house of Iman ❤

[@BTonTV]

I bet many people went looking for her old lip sync videos to hate and prove to themselves that she wasn't a legend, only to be blown away by her talent. I'm so happy that I can say I knew who this LEGEND was LONG before drag race 😊❤

One of the most iconic talents EVER

[@NorlyJoy]

She was one of my favorite along with Symone, such a shame her condition limited her mobility. Regardless, she is a legend and a survivor! Really loved her personality in the show as well

[@mortenle]

Wow, Tamisha is a powerhouse! Thank you for showing us such great performances.

[@carlosabram6030]

Now you young girls know why she said holler at me I know you know me in her Ru entrance...

[@gorsime13]

her acrobatics are breathtaking, literally doing backflips around the competition!!!!

[@sxoresx]

AMAZING! The stage presence ma'am

[@ronnyjohnsonjr.]

I hate seeing legends be disrespected by production and the fan base it’s not right at all

[@nerdbrain396]

She acted very inappropriately on set. We all saw in untucked how to went after kandy and even kept going after her when she tried to get up and leave the situation, before being stopped by the other queens and the production staff. She's a very well known and decorated drag artist for sure, but if she gets disrespect for how she behaved inappropriately there's nothing wrong about that

I hate one word for her performance phenomenal !! I have heard of her for years and I was not familiar with her until I saw her on RuPaul's drag race but I had never really seen her perform before now I ran across this video love her wish I would have known her back in the day when I was performing

[@barrettfikes6211]

For the entertainment part of a bday, I showed this performance on the big screen, and everyone lost their minds. I had to play it 2 more times. I hit Tamisha up the next day to tell her that she was the highlight of my bday party

Monet cant do half of what Tamisha could. Monet is not as good as she thinks.

[@austint8263]

Great performance, terrible makeup or maybe it was bad lighting because she looked great on tv.

[@harvexx]

this was in 1999 there was not much makeup options for black people

[@Felynesss]

Girl this was 24 years ago even

[@paytonpryor]

The make up is a no, but the performance!!!! She did her damn thing! Come threw background dancers! Yassss Queen!

[@Acadiarome1234]

Well makeup options for black girls are just now evolving… so back then I’d say she did amazing with the options she had.

[@paytonpryor]

@@Acadiarome1234 You are absolutely right! Thank you for bringing that up because there were no options for dark then in that time so I definitely understand. I'm really proud of the changes Rihanna has brought to the market. She has so many shades and because of her, other company's have followed.

[@daisywatkins5778]

She's an amazing performer but those wellies on her feet 🤦

[@MandaMalice]

It may not be picking up properly on camera. Unfortunately stage makeup doesn’t always photograph and record well.

[@loscano]

It's not her makeup. It's the camera. This was done on film..before digital camcorders were commercially produced. In person that night her makeup looked immaculate under that spotlight.. like a porcelain doll. Also, although not as much as today,there were plenty of drag makeup options for performers with her skin tone in the late 90's.. and they knew EXACTLY what to use. 😊

[@brendawesley1087]

What is up with the makeup

[@leodisphillips6371]

It’s the 90s. Makeup companies didn’t really cater to black people like today. That’s why you’ll see black/darker skinned celebs looking ashy. They had to work with what they had.

[@MandaMalice]

Stage makeup doesn’t always photograph and record well. Would bet money she looked amazing in person.

[@alberrtorivas]
