LEGENDS: What are your plans for the upcoming Black Gay Pride Season, can I expect to see MOR perform across the country in various venues?
MOR: Well, we’re planning to hit all the Black Prides in the USA. We are already booked for Charlotte in June 2006, Baltimore in October 2006 and DC in May 2006. We’re currently working on Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, Seattle, Dallas and Houston.

LEGENDS: Can you tell us more about Marquis, the newest member of the Rainbow family?
MOR: Marquis Rainbow is an entertainer, pageant boy, and exotic dancer. He’s a full time federal employee and entertains at night. Marquis is new to the pageant circuit; he has competed for Mr. Club Bunns where he placed as 1st Alternate in 2005. He’s traveled the country as an exotic dancer and currently is available for private parties.

LEGENDS: Are there any plans in the works for Marquis to compete anywhere else? If so where and when?
MOR: We’re preparing him to run in the newcomer circuit of the pageantry systems but until then we will be taking him to a few upcoming pageants for research and training - unfortunately we will not say exactly where he will compete.

LEGENDS: Does Marquis feel any pressure to perform as the newest member of the group?
FROM MARQUIS: No I never feel pressured to perform, I always like performing. When I was a child I would pretend that I was performing in front of an audience with my sister. I’ve always dreamed about me being a star. I was born to entertain; I’ve been doing it for about 5 yrs now and counting, and will be doing it for a while. I greatly appreciatedthe MOR for letting me be a part of such a loving family and I'm looking forward to our future endeavors.
