"I came into it from a production design and costume design standpoint. I went to school for performance but also direction and design of stage and scenic design and costume design. So when I found drag, it was my way to put all that design onto myself. I'm a very crafty queen. I loved fashion growing up and I ended up finding ways to create the fashion that I wanted to see on the runways on myself on a budget."
"In December, the fashion and stage production designer was one of 14 queens announced as a contestant on the eighteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. As a NYC-based performer, who has worked with designers for Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, made looks for a Drag Race winner, and designed pretty much every runway outfit that she brought to the Werk Room, her fashion is set to be one of the talking points of the new season."
"I was like, this is my chance. Not to quote Hamilton, but I am not going to ruin my shot. I'm not messing around here."
