When I came out as being transgender, I was scared.
There was nobody doing that on TV, and it was a scary time…. Its, to me, my way of reintroducing myself to people.
This is a whole new take onDrag Race!
But with all of this happening, it rekindled something in me and I like Christmas again!
Im looking forward to it now.
She misses her man and shes afreak, honey.
The song builds up.
It starts slow and gets really naughty by the end.
I had a lot going on then, too, dealing with transitioning.
It was an awkward time, but now Im fully aware of who I am.
I was inspired by drag again.
This couldnt have come at a better time.
With this administration, its kind of shaky, but we cant forget who we are.
Its, to me, my way of reintroducing myself to people.
All the girls I worked with are used to trans women being in the drag shows.
Were one and the same.
How is that an illusion?
We pick and choose what we want to do to our bodies to feel comfortable…. And you were certainly serving it right next to the queens in this episode.
That gingerbread outfit, girl!
Thats the first time I think Ive heard the words Moschino Jeremy Scott Gingerbread Woman in the same sentence.
A total fashion mood!I adore Jeremy Scott; hes one of my favorite designers….
I wanted to go that route because…. when I think of Christmas, I think of Elvis.
I remember a lot of Elvis Christmas music playing when I was a kid.
And one of the biggest stars I looked up to at the time I was a kid was Madonna.
This time I followed my heart and my own ideas, and that gave me a lot of confidence.
Were you a bit disappointed there wasnt an individual winner?I didnt even care!
I knew I was going to bring my A-game….
I still wanted to look like the winner.
Who honestly do you think deserved the title?If it were a crowned competition with actual money….
I can confidently say that if I were not the winner, I would definitely be a close runner-up.
[It was] between me and Mayhem Miller, whos so great.
[So] if we get onAll-Stars,this was our audition!
