"All drag queens have five o'clock shadows, we just don't cover ours," Gio Profera tells ABC News.
Profera dons wigs, eyelashes, fierce makeup, stilettos, crop tops, and mini skirts as Juleisy, who along with Josue Garcia's character Karla, make up the bearded women of Hialeah's Finest.
The two friends started performing as the chonga-esque drag queens three years ago, and have begun to get featured in music videos and on national news outlets.
Outsiders may be drawn to the two's outrageous (and hairy) female impersonation but locals are in on their joke about their hometown Hialeah.
The Miami neighborhood often gets the punchline "Only In Hialeah" to describe a place where saints wear Heat jerseys on game nights and pork gets a front seat ride.
HuffPost Miami spoke with Juleisy and Karla about their favorite places to buy chonga wear and fine Cuban dining.
