How’s married life?<br />
Married life is lovely! Everyone says<br />
it’s so different and sucks. We were<br />
as close as I thought we could be<br />
beforehand, but then we got married,<br />
and we got closer. We don’t fight<br />
about the small shit anymore. <strong>Out</strong><br />
of anyone I know, who thought that I<br />
would be the one getting married?<br />
No!<br />
So I say to people all the time, if I can<br />
do it, there’s hope for everyone.<br />
What are<br />
you up to<br />
in the city<br />
these days?<br />
I just do<br />
Thursdays at<br />
The Stonewall<br />
Inn.<br />
You just<br />
finished<br />
hosting<br />
Aaron Paul’s<br />
“Every Life<br />
Matters”<br />
video release.<br />
How did<br />
that go?<br />
It was a lot<br />
of fun. I just<br />
loved the<br />
music video.<br />
I loved all the<br />
performers.<br />
It was a great<br />
crowd. I like<br />
Aaron a lot. I<br />
really enjoyed it. I love to host.<br />
You’ve been doing drag for a<br />
while now.<br />
This is my 10th year.<br />
Since you’ve started, how has it<br />
changed for you?<br />
For me, when I started, I was going<br />
out seven nights a week, for free.<br />
When I started, we started because<br />
it was fun. We weren’t looking to<br />
get a TV show and all the fame and<br />
notoriety. So for me the only thing<br />
that’s changed is I treat it more like a<br />
business now. I’m not running around<br />
for free. I get in drag, I do my show,<br />
and then I get out of drag. I don’t run<br />
around and carry on. It’s a business<br />
now. It’s not just hobby lobby.<br />
And how do you think that drag<br />
has changed in general?<br />
Everyone and their mother wants to<br />
do it. Everyone and their mother can<br />
do it, because<br />
of YouTube.<br />
Everyone is<br />
very entitled.<br />
They want to<br />
start working<br />
and making<br />
$1,500 a show<br />
when they have<br />
nothing, no<br />
credibility, they<br />
haven’t worked<br />
a gig in their<br />
life. Everyone<br />
thinks they<br />
are the new<br />
up-and-coming<br />
thing, because<br />
they’re all<br />
watching the<br />
same damn<br />
makeup<br />
YouTube<br />
channel. No<br />
one has an<br />
individual<br />
character<br />
anymore. They<br />
see who’s going to be the hot queen<br />
on “Drag Race,” and they all try to be<br />
that.<br />
If you had the opportunity to be<br />
on “Drag Race,” would you do it?<br />
Absolutely! Any queen that says they<br />
would not do “Drag Race” is lying<br />
to your face. As Bianca says, it’s<br />
the golden ticket, and anyone that<br />
wouldn’t take that and make the most<br />
if it is really stupid.
