Chloe Diamond is a fifteen year-old from Ohio who started drag in late 2011.
Read our Q&A with Chloe below.
How does drag make you feel?
Drag makes me feel beautiful! It's something I do to express myself. Drag allows me to do things, I couldn't of dreamed of doing before I started. It truly does make me feel free.
Who are you inspirations for your drag persona?
Marylin Monroe. The Kardashians. Caitlyn Jenner. Maxxy rainbow. Trixe Mattel. Adore Delano. Willam Belli. And of course Rupaul!
Who are your all time favorite queens?
Maxxy Rainbow - She is so amazing. She is beautiful and so talented. She is so kind and caring and I'm glad that I have a friend like her.
Electra Gray - I don't personally know her but her paint is stunning and she is super talented!
Honey Golightly- She is super sweet! She is so gorgeous and super talented. Her YouTube videos crack me but some of them are very relatable.
Do you have a specific look you like to go for, or does your look vastly vary?
I prefer to look more on the real side, so I like to look like a woman. I get a lot of shit from older queens because It looks like I don't wear a lot of makeup but I wear just as much as they do! But there are times when I like to go over the top and paint to gawds. I love drag makeup, it's a true form of art! I would love to be able to paint really draggy but I personally think it's does not look good on me.
What would be your ultimate ambition you would like to achieve through drag?
To be an advocate for younger people and to help others come to terms and accept them selves and others. I really want to be somebody that somebody looks up too. I'd also love to be a runway model and maybe one have my own Makeup line.
Do you perform in drag?
No but I hope to very soon! There are some great bars to preform at in Ohio!
If I could perform, what are some of your favourite songs to perform?
Hello
Beatdown
Marylin Monroe
The boys
Reflection
If you could only have 3 makeup products to do your complete drag makeup look for the rest of your life, what would they be and why?
That's a great question.Definitely fake lashes.This big pallet, it has eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipsticks blush,and highlight and contour.
A matte full coverage foundation.
What is your one favourite piece of fashion or accessory from your wardrobe? My platform glitter heels. I will literally wear them with anything. They are my favorite thing I own. Or my platinum blonde wig, I wear it all the time!
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
Hope doing a lot more modeling. Possibly being on Rupaul's Drag Race. Maybe more popular with in the community and on my YouTube channel. I hope to be out of this small close minded town I live in!
What's your opinion on the recent increase in popularity of drag, due to things such as RuPaul's Drag Race?
I think it's great! Rupaul's Drag Race is bringing so much exposure to the drag community. It makes me extremely happy that more people are starting to accept drag a lot more. But we still have such a long way to go.
