Sestre in 2004
Sestre are a Slovenian drag act that represented Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. They were among the bookies favourites to win.
Tomaž (Marlenna), Damjan (Emperatrizz) and Srečko (Daphne) had been performing together since 2000 under the name Suspender Sisters with a classic drag queen show program. In February 2002, they competed in and won the Slovenian pre-selection and so represented Slovenia on Eurovision 2002 in Tallinn. They placed 13th with 33 points.
In October 2002, they released their first album, Souvenir by Menart with the support of a co-operational team Dom Svobode: Magnifico, Barbara Pešut and Schatzi. The album was recorded in Slovene, but most of the songs are translated in English, Spanish, French and German.
