Isaac Long, a.k.a. Mr. Charming started his boylesque career in 2012 after seeing the first Dallas boylesque show. He figured if these eight or so regular everyday men could get on stage and strip in front of a live audience then he could too.That night, the boylesque character Phil Latino was created; Phil would only see the stage one time as a tomcat. The next month, Isaac enrolled in the second boylesque class at the Dallas School of Burlesque.
Prior to performing boylesque, Isaac had been performing on stage in the DFW and surrounding areas since 2001, as the female Illusionist, Mrs. Hylan Douglas Parc. Hylan Parc has won, judged, and participated in numerous drag pageants.
Unfortunately, towards the end of 2010, Isaac had to back away from the stage to support, be an advocate, and for his little brother, who had become paralyzed from a rare spinal infection.
At the urging of his brother, Isaac returned to the stage but this time as a boylesque performer. However, Isaac did not start actual start performing as a male performer. Isaac fell onto his drag roots and created the characters of Ida Buttahstein, a sharp witted bubbe. Upon her first performance, Ida Buttahstein, established the Draglesque movement in Dallas, TX.
In 2013, Isaac not feeling connected and committed to Ida decided to "kill her off" and returned to the female character that he had created and been honing for over a decade, Mrs. Hylan Parc.
In 2014, tired of shaving his chest and loving his scruff, Isaac decided that he want to finally start performing as a male. He renamed himself from Phil Latino to Big Sexy following suit to the naming convention set by the famous Mr. Gorgeous. Again, not feeling connected to the name, Big Sexy only lasted for about six months. By the end of 2014, Isaac had renamed his male boylesque character, Mr. Charming. This name fit Isaac's natural character and charm.
