Venus D-Lite
Adam Daniel Guerra (born September 05, 1983), known by his stage name Venus D-Lite, is an American drag performer, television personality and Madonna impersonator. He gained recognition for competing on the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race, and went viral with his appearance in a My Strange Addiction episode called "Addicted To Being Madonna" (2015). Early life and education Guerra was raised in Rosemead, California. He attended San Gabriel High School and then Orange Coast College, where he majored in business. He was also pursuing a degree in film from Los Angeles Community College, but dropped out in order to pursue a career in drag full-time. Career Guerra started performing as D-Lite (in a Marilyn Monroe impersonation) on August 5, 2002 and made his first television appearance on The Ricki Lake Show in 2003. His drag name came from a combination of “Venus” (taken from “Venus Was Her Name”, a song by Shocking Blue), and “D-Lite”, a name thought of by Guerra's then-boyfriend and makeup artist of three years. A fan of Madonna, he spent over $175,000 on 19 surgeries to look like her for his performances. He was announced as a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race season 3 on
