Q&A
Lexi Montoya:
-Q1: Do you or have you ever felt any struggle as a drag queen? “It's a hell of a fight. Being gay isn't easy. Having people around who support you and accept you for who you are, are hard to find. Most people would rather go with the crowd. But even some of the gay community doesn’t see drag as an art, but rather, they see it as someone just dressing up in girls’ clothes.” -Q2: What advice do you give other queens or even ‘new’ queens in the industry? “I would tell them to keep their head up high. Don’t get bothered by anything anyone is saying because at the end of the day, what you do matters the most. You are beautiful the way you are. And this art of drag is awesome, so keep it classy and clean. Just be yourself and don’t give one about what anyone else is saying. Of course there will always be people hating, but don’t you worry about that because you have a higher goal to accomplish.” -Q3: What's your favorite part about doing drag? “The mere transformation; it’s like magic to me. Just showing my artistic side through drag is so much fun.” -Q4: Who do you idolize or look up to in the celebrity or drag world? “I tend to keep it as simple and as original as possible. I would say I idolize Nina Flowers, she is an amazing queen. Her presences alone makes you feel special.”
Victoria Sexton:
“My favorite part about drag is the energy from the crowd and how they react to what I’m doing. I don’t care what the reaction is, as long as I get one. There’s art in everything we wear. Even if it’s just a cocktail dress, the fact that under all of that fabric and body cringes, padding and fake boobs, there’s a man there.”
