Detox<br />
Featured in the new drag queen film about to be presented on <strong>June</strong><br />
19, just in time to celebrate Pride, is “Drag Race” contestant Detox.<br />
The film also features Bob the Drag Queen and Latrice Royale. The<br />
hilariously funny film premiere will take place at the SVA theatre, in<br />
partnership with New Fest, as part of <strong>Out</strong>Cinema. There will also be<br />
screenings in LA and San Francisco.<br />
What is the character that you portray in<br />
the movie, and how are the two of you<br />
similar?<br />
I play White Chocolate. She’s a long-in-hertooth,<br />
freak nasty bitch with a soft spot for<br />
her African American frenemy, played by<br />
Mayhem Miller. We are the same person.<br />
LOL!<br />
Did you have a favorite funny experience<br />
while filming the movie ?<br />
The entire thing was hysterical. I was making<br />
a movie with some of my closest friends. We<br />
played drinking games. We were all pulling<br />
double duty, too, so the delirium factor was<br />
always funny. Plus, sexually harassing the<br />
straight crew is what we truly lived for.<br />
If you had the power, would there be<br />
anything you would have changed about<br />
your character?<br />
She’s definitely more of a bitch than I am.<br />
Luckily, I’m very familiar with playing one on<br />
TV.<br />
Is there a favorite part of the film for you?<br />
Any time Latrice is on camera. I cannot help<br />
grin from ear to ear.<br />
What did the film mean to you personally?<br />
Honestly, it was great for me to stay home<br />
and spend time with my friends. I rarely get<br />
the opportunity with my schedule. It’s one of<br />
the main reasons I signed up for the project.<br />
What have you been up to since we last<br />
spoke?<br />
Oh my God, I don’t even know where to<br />
start. Filming a TV show, filming my own<br />
show with WOW, the usual constant touring,<br />
in the studio working on new music as soon<br />
as this Werq the World tour culminates at<br />
the end of the month. Desperately seeking<br />
a vacation.<br />
