Born with a full head of copper red hair in the north woods of Iron Mountain, Michigan. Seth Nayes spent most of his time running amok throughout the forest or at his grandparents Lakeside Bed and Breakfast in Florence, Wisconsin greeting it's patrons and swimming through the rusty waters. He was pulled abruptly from his relaxing life to the volatile, Lac Du Flambeau. Where he faced hardships of rejection, molestation, fighting and home battles. Bouncing back and forth between family members until Ojibwe Language teacher, Anne Wewasson gave him a beautiful home on the outskirts of the reservation to spend some of his teenage years. Eventually, the tormented child burned his bridges and ran off on his own, rebelling against those who loved him. After graduating high school in Minocqua, WI, he moved to Green Bay to chase his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. Continuing the fight, Working throughout the Mid Western Indy Circuit. The dangerous lifestyle eventually caught up with him. After a shocking end to a match, Seth realized he needed to take a step away and re-evaluate where he was going in life. His spirit was looking for something more. With more lights, more glitter, more affirmation. He moved to Madison, Wisconsin and found the glamorous, over the top, talented, Peach Pies Caburlesque. Finally a place of acceptance, warmth and glory where every shape, size, gender identity and style could celebrate what they are. Now Madame Envy. She will never forgot the twists and turns of the yellow brick road.

Now living in Chicago, IL you can catch this enigma at SIN at Roscoe's on Thursday or with the Cirque de la Femme!
