Get Out! GAY Magazine – Issue 407 February 27, 2019

Every year they pick a charity, and
it’s up to the Miss America of the
year to pick it.
What inspired you to compete
for Miss Gay America?
I’ve been doing drag for 20 years,
and aside from “Drag Race,” the
only other way you get to present
your art form in a glamorous
way—by traveling the country,
getting to meet and work with
other drag queens and seeing
the country—is to run
for a pageant. And to
win. If you win, then
you actually get to do
what the “RuPaul’s Drag
Race” girls do. No one
is calling me a “Drag
Race” girl, however; I’m
just Andora, Miss Gay
America.
So all of those girls are
on “RuPaul,” and I am
my own person. Not that
I wouldn’t want to be a
“RuPaul” girl, because
I’m not trying to sound
bitter. I would love to
be on “RuPaul,” but
here I get to pick the
cities I go to. I get to
go to the preliminaries
anywhere, and I make
my own schedule. It’s
not like somebody’s
going to do it for me.
There are some girls
that were also Miss Gay
America on “RuPaul”:
Alyssa Edwards and
Coco Montrese and
Asia O’Hara. They were
all former Miss Gay
Americas.
become a “RuPaul”
girl as well. Is there an
international pageant?
Thank you! I think there is a Miss
Universe, but a lot of the girls
they have work done, like breast
implants and stuff like that. They
like to see current pictures and
breast implants and stuff. I can
make it look like I have cleavage,
but not the kind of cleavage they
want. They have implants and a lot
of silicone, and I think they like that
I understand. Well, you
are beautiful, and
I wish you luck and
hope that you
MISS better. GAY AMERICA @MISSGAYAMERICA
that better.
