Minerva Jayne

BoiseWeekly.com – By Nathaniel Hoffman

Minerva Jayne, Boise’s biggest, bustiest blonde bombshell, could put the whole “famous potato” thing to rest at last. She calls them “the twins” and no Idaho potato is up to the task.

Minerva is the doyen of Boise’s drag scene, hostess of drag bingo at the Balcony Club and a constant supporter of Boise’s gay and lesbian community. When BW met Minerva at the Balcony, we did not intend to interview her in character. But we quickly realized that her character, the Minerva persona, fills the greater part of her sometimes amusing, sometimes maddening but always ambiguous identity.
