The man behind the diva, Ozan Cobacioglu, said he was lucky to have won a talent quest which catapulted him from unknown to the top of the Sydney drag scene.
He had decided to make a career from drag but the win was critical in getting steady amounts of work in the beginning.
"I won that and I have been busy ever since," Mr Cobacioglu said.
"Most drag queens have to do a lot of freebies until they get known."
The secret to the success of Miss Kitty Glitter has been that Mr Cobacioglu doesn't perpetuate some of the stereotypes of drag.
Yes, there is the makeup, the wigs and the personality as colourful as the sparkly clothes, but Miss Kitty Glitter is a thoroughly modern woman.
"I avoid the old drag standards in my show."
Banter with the audience is touchy-feely rather than bitchy, as well.
"I don't like to pick on people," Mr Cobacioglu said.
"A lot of drag queens have traditionally singled out people with their jokes, but it's never funny if you are that person."
Mr Cobacioglu credits his good fortune to be invited to Queenstown with having a second selling point.
"Mike [Sandford - Gay Ski Week organiser] usually has a drag queen and a DJ.
"With me, he got both."
The progression from drag queen to DJ may yet lead to Miss Kitty Glitter treading the path of celebrated drag artist Ru Paul.
"I would love to record my own tracks next year."
The lifestyle is demanding, but Mr Cobacioglu said it all comes down to taking care of himself.
"Unlike a lot of drag queens, I don't drink, or do drugs either," he said.
The amount of makeup "shovelled on" each night takes enough of a toll on his skin.
The name Miss Kitty Glitter came from his star sign - Leo -and does carry a double entendre.
"I did think of Kitty Litter - drag queens are a little trashy. But they are `glamorous' too.
"The g popped in there and I think `Glitter' is much more appropriate."
His first name idea drew on his Turkish heritage, but again was not quite right.
"I thought of Danna Kebab, but then thought, `No, I'm not going to go there'."
