     Mirkala Crystal is a highly talented female illusionist that has come to own over 20 pageant tittles and is constantly adding more to her collection. Not to mention countless plaques for achieving many of her successes in the art of  Lip-synch and pageants. She says "she does it for the love of  her many fans". She always recognizes that without her public’s love, one that she returns many times over by helping others in her community, whenever she can. She thinks, that all her crowns  and plaques would be meaningless. Mirkala is first to volunteer her services when it comes to raising funds for many worth while organizations. At the top of her list is LIGALY (Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth). During her quest for the Miss New York City 2004 pageant crown, Even as it was Mirkala help raise money for LIGALY'S back to school program.

It’s no wonder, for Mirkala brings on stage something very different and captivating to her shows. It is at these night clubs that she continues to nurture her fast growing talent and showmanship.

Being a club performer since the early-90's, I have been blessed with many friends & experiences that have enriched my life in many countless ways. And, I hold all this close to my heart, and I'm very "thank-full" for everything. I just want to say "thank-you" to all the friends that believe in me and have always been there. Giving me words, strength & wisdom every day.

In meeting my audiences around New York and beyond. I discovered something very exciting and liberating. That my audiences consisted of an incredible variety of ages and nationalities. As a Latin performer I mix all my music and  feelings, that way I bring unto the stage the best entertainment possible to my audience. During my many shows I felt a freedom to explore my inner roots. I found that this way I was able to bring to the stage many styles of music and different types of personalities. I have always been comfortable impersonating many of today top performers.  That's why I always want my shows to reflect that special versatility. This way I could have fun and my audiences can enjoy a great show and a fun night out. I hope you can enjoy the different flavors I mix into my shows and that you find them  colorful and uplifting.  PS: I hope you have time to view some of the >video clips (Lady Ga Ga)I have put together on this Web Site. ENJOY..

Rummaging through his makeup bag, he peered into the dressing room mirror and out-lined his sultry lips, then added one more coat of mascara to his already impossibly thick fake lashes. Standing behind him, Mr. Bobby Ojeda a hospital professional from Queens, admired his long time companion. He smile as Mr. Aviles did a pirouette in his purple long lame gown (size8), showing off cleanly shaven legs, slim hips and stiletto pumps. Mr. Aviles clipped on oversized rhinestone earrings. With a final touch of hair spray, Mr. Aviles, known in such attire as MIRKALA CRYSTAL, was ready for opening night at the Grove Hotel in Cherry Grove on Fire Island. we'll be out quite often this summer, "said Mr. Ojeda, who is also Ms. Crystal's manager, lamenting on the high cost of the gowns and makeup necessary to keep his partner on the drag-show circuit.
