Besides constantly entertaining the followers of Hong Kong nightlife,

La Chiquitta has also graced other stages, including corporate shows, private parties, university lectures and out-of-town appearances. Also considered a regular fixture in the theatre circuit in Hong Kong, she has essayed several theatrical roles, the most notable of them, being Solange in Jean Genet's The Maids, produced by RyeT Entertainment in cooperation with the American Community Theater.

 

She officially became Hong Kong's first recording drag artist when she launched her single, Tranny In The House, produced by DJ Stonedog and released under Volume Up Records. It was later followed by Party Responsibly, which topped the iTunes dance charts for a week after it was released. Having gained media mileage and traction, she co-produced and presented a reality webseries, Drag It On: Drag Queens In The Making. She later organised Drag Overdose, the grand meet-up of professional, budding, and one-night-only drag queens of HK, for the city's Pink Season in 2011. Every year since then, her little party has become one of the most anticipated events of the LGBTQ festival.

 

In September of 2012, La Chiquitta launched her media career as the presenter of the weekly radio segment, Chiquitta Time, on RTHK3's From Top to Bottom. This paved the way for her own radio show with the same station, The Gaybourhood, with co-host DJ Stonedog, which premiered in September of 2013 and ran for two seasons.

​

She wrote a contribution to a coffee table book published in NYC, was featured in a magazine in SG, and appeared on TV for a special mini-docu in Manila. Her face constantly pops up in various magazines, newspapers, documentaries, and very recently, as the subject for the locally-filmed music video for "Give Me Light" by UK-based artist, Mind Enterprises. Portraits of her taken by prolific photographers, Tsewhat-Tse (Yale School of Art), Laura Simonsen (HK), The Gaunts (HK) have been on exhibitions, photo galleries and art fairs locally and in various places abroad, the most notable of which, "The Drag Queen Last Supper" made it to the halls of Art Hamptons in New York.

 

La Chiquitta is currently keeping herself busy with pre-production for a one-woman cabaret, "Jonathan" at the HKU Blackbox in November; her once-a -month hostessing duties for Karaoke Thursdays at FLM; and performing alongside the best drag performers of the city at "#DragDomination", a once-a-month themed show held at Orange Peel in LKF.
