Have you had a chance to check out Drag Queens of London, and, if so, who stuck out the most for you?

I haven’t yet had a chance to catch it.

What are your general thoughts on the UK drag scene?

One of my first experiences with drag was with Boy George and Culture Club. I was fascinated by the beauty and bold color. UK drag always seemed to me to be louder and brighter than the female illusion. A feast for the eyes.

A lot of people were upset that you sent DeLa home during season six of RuPaul’s Drag Race, how do you deal with negativity in your work?

You have to have a thick skin and a sharp intellect to deal with people’s feelings and opinions. I grew up in a home with unsupportive parents, so I had to toughen up quickly. It was never my decision to send anyone home. I was in a competition, and had to use my strengths to get to the finals.

On a lighter note, your makeup is consistently flawless. How did you get so good?

I used to watch a lot of soap operas as a kid, and those ladies were always painted for filth. After 20 years in the drag business, I’m still learning and watching YouTube tutorials.

You’re in the UK the day before Halloween – how will you be spending Halloween this year?

I’m spending a few days in London to explore and sightsee. I’ve met some kind people on Twitter who have offered to show me around. Then I’m headed to Paris for a few days. Then off to the European cruise through Al&Chuck.

What does the rest of the year have in store for you?

Performing around the globe and taking in all that is given to me. Honing my comedy act that I premiered in NYC this past September. Making new friends and sisters with the season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

And finally, do you have anything else you would like to share?
