By Jessica Satherley UPDATED: 15:59 EST, 1 November 2011 Alter ego: Tom Adams, 14, as his drag queen alter ego Tamara A proud mother has told how her schoolboy son has become a drag queen at the tender age of 14. Tom Adams loves dressing in drag and has performed with his dance class dressed in a sparkly dress, blonde wig and full make-up. Tom, from Hartlepool, County Durham, suffers name calling from school bullies because of his hobby, but he is determined to follow his dreams of becoming a performer. He began using his mother Sharon's red lipsticks, nail varnish and high heels at the age of two and has continued to do so ever since – as his alter ego 'Tamara'.
