Where can we see you perform?

I'm out in Los Angeles, and I'm a resident drag queen at La
Cita in downtown L.A. You'll see me gallivanting onstage there
every Monday. And usually you can find me on the corner of
Santa Monica Boulevard, wherever it's not busy. [

What can we expect from your show?

It's really out there. Sometimes I take the literal route with
a song, but other times I exaggerate it or elevate it to a more
artistic level. I recently performed "Halo" by
Beyoncé, but I found a deeper meaning and performed it
as the Virgin Mary, and I was having sex with Jesus Christ
onstage -- which is totally not something you should be
doing.

So, RuPaul vs. Tyra: Who's going down first?

Oh, my God, Tyra's going down first, because I'll be there to
help RuPaul make sure that she goes down first! [
