This post contains spoilers aboutRuPauls Drag Race All Starsseason 2.
Im just really grateful I get to have my picture on the wall next to RuPaul and Chad Michaels!
the 31-year-old, relishing her reign as Americas Next Drag Superstar, squeals during a recent interview with EW.
I was more focused this time.
ALASKA:Well, I tried.
Hopefully that blood-bribed money can actually go to a good cause.
We both donated $5,000!
A lot of those people watch this show for inspiration.
Its remarkable that theres a show where gender boundaries are completely eliminated.
Were talking about a room full of guys calling each other she, and nobody bats an eye.
I cant imagine being a kid and watching a show like this on TV.
Do you think you approached the competition differently this time around?I was more focused this time.
Who do you think is mad at you?Everybody, because I won!
I hope you didnt make any members of Rolaskatox angry!
No, were fine.
Im cool with all the girls from this season.
I dont think anybody came out of it really hating each other, which is good.
Would you have held it against Detox or Roxxxy if theyd won over you?I dont know.
Youve seen how I act when I dont get my way, so it probably wouldnt have been good.
Yeah, you had that meltdown toward the end, there.
Naturally you have an instinct to cling to your friends and cling to people who make you feel comfortable.
We all have to do that.
We have to go to the end standing alone, so Im glad I did that.
Phi Phi said she feels like youre all just game pieces on the show.
How does hearing something like that make you feel?
Do the producers want us to be in situations that are high-conflict and high-drama?
Uh, absolutely, because its a TV show.
I think we all knew that going into [production], and I think they delivered this season.
I feel like we saw some of the early, classic Alaska there.Totally!
I wanted to showcase every possible silhouette and reference and style of drag.
I can be pretty, I just prefer not to.
Whats so appealing to you about doing drag that isnt conventionally pretty?Its more comfortable.
Wearing hair like [I did on the final runway makes me] afraid to touch it!
Youre afraid to move because you dont want anything to fall out place.
Speaking of rough around the edges, you and Sharon Needles both got your start in Pittsburgh.
Whether its the Pittsburgh Steelers or Sharon Needles, its the same thing.
