Eccentric Highland Park Ranch House Has An Entire Room Devoted To 'Carrie'
Drag superstar Jackie Beat's Highland Park home is on the market and we are, to put it mildly, a little bit obsessed.
From the street, Beat's home looks like any other lovely but unassuming California Ranch, but don't be fooled. Beat, who the L.A. Times once dubbed "the queen of all queens in Los Angeles' drag circuit," is no fan of simplicity. Every room is full-throttle, including a neon green-walled lanai, formal dining room with some serious flower power floral wallpaper, and a bright buttercup-hued dressing room full of shoes and wigs. The real highlight, though, is the Carrie-themed room. Yes, an entire room dedicated to all things Carrie.
Los Angelenos! My GORGEOUS home is on the market! Open house this Sunday from 2 to 5! https://t.co/TPIzjUvmSo

No word yet on whether the Carrie memorabilia will come with the house, but the rest of the three-bed, two-bath 1949 home can be yours for a cool $849,900.
