When did you start doing drag?

11 years ago so around 2005.

What inspired you to start doing drag?

At first it was The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I was in a live production of it where I played Brad Majors so for a month straight I was basically in drag at the end of the show and it kinda felt good / fun to be this Highly Feminine character so I thought let's try this out!

How does drag make you feel?

I'm a more outgoing person in drag, as a boy I'm quite shy and to myself but since putting on the look I'm become a more outgoing person! I feel like a true entertainer in drag , it makes me a very happy person.

Who are you inspirations for your drag persona?

It all Started With Sasha Colby , I saw a video of her competing for Miss Continental and I said to myself, that is who I wanna be! At the time I didn't know who she was but I wanted to know everything about her.

Who are your all time favourite queens?

Let's go backwards, I'll give you five.

5. Desiree Brooke

4. Phi Phi O'Hara

3. Toni R. Andrews

2. Sasha Colby

1. Bianca Del Rio

Do you have a specific look you like to go for, or does your look vastly vary?

I normally like to impersonate Lady Gaga , that's my trademark I guess you could say. I love doing dark, gothic , scary looks or just something pretty and natural , I guess it just depends on the mood I'm in that day.

What would be your ultimate ambition you would like to achieve through drag?

To be a lady Gaga Illusionist working around the country or in Las Vegas!

Do you perform in drag?

Yes I perform 4 Nights a week at Babios Eat Drink Dance at which I am the Show Director And Host. Here in San Antonio

If you perform, what are some of your favourite songs to perform?

My Number 1 Song to perform is Hold My Hand by Jess Glyne .... It's just one of those songs that puts me in a good place and reminds me of Good Times.

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?

LASHES, LIPSTICK, And CONTOUR

What is your one favourite piece of fashion or accessory from your wardrobe?

MY LADY GAGA HAT.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Still making People Smile! Whether it being here in San Antonio or traveling the world! Who knows

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 a good outlet for people who truly appreciate the artform of drag! Although I do wish the young children in drag would do research and learn who the Queens of the past are , the ones who paved the way for us to do what we love to do! And not just know the girls "From Drag Race"
