Allan Oen, also known as Dyna Myte, has been doing drag on and off since he was 21. Born in Saskatchewan and raised on a farm, he moved to Calgary in 1995. You might know him best for his association with the Texas Lounge in Calgary, where he has been working for nearly fifteen years - owner, bartender, and unabashed work horse, doing a multitude of jobs within the bar.

When he has time, he performs; the Texas Lounge is known for raking in a lot of fundraising, both for regular performances and special events. Dyna Myte was the 30th Empress of Calgary and his reign in 2006 still holds the record for largest amount of money fundraised in one year by the organization.

When he can, he spends time with his four dogs. They’re a lot of work, a lot of fun, and their unconditional love helps keep him going. He and Wolfgang, his partner, have been together for just over fifteen years, and are now happily married.

A fundraiser for the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society is planned for his 40th birthday in June. "You have to be positive about age," he said.  "I think I enjoyed my thirties more than my twenties because I knew what I wanted." He believes his forties are going to be the same way, and he’ll be able to do the things that he wants to do: staying healthy, staying positive, going to the gym and living well.
