fabulous – even if they’re drawing in their
cleavage, it’s beyond beautiful. Now my cleavage
is actually better than theirs, because I got my
twinset – so they can’t compete with my little
frickin’ twinset. I’m super honoured.
JH: I once saw a queen
doing I’m Outta Love and I
actually thought it was
you…
A: (Laughs)
JH: She was AMAZING, she
had this hairpiece that she
whipped off, she had a
skirt that she ripped off,
she was strutting around
the stage.
A: I’m so jealous. You don’t
realise you have a gimmick
until someone makes light of
you – you’re then like, “oh my
god I’ve made it, I’m quirky
enough!” (Laughs) Things I
thought looked whack – they
love it.
JH: So you’re a fan of drag
then?
A: Oh absolutely, always have
been and let me just tell you,
my Mother’s 70th birthday:
drags… I had drags at her 70th
birthday. I had Barbra
Streisand, Judy Garland – all
the people my mum would have
loved to be in a room with and
hang out with. And me (laughs)
– somebody played me.
JH: A duet between you two?
A: OH MY GOD that could totally happen –that
is something we have talked about… definitely.
She my little Madonna.
JH: We will be all over that…
A: We would do a song and
make all the money go to a
HIV /AIDS charity – that is just
something we would do! We
would put it out not make a
penny on it. I’d make sure we
did a Pride Tour. That would
just be fun. She could be my
hostess and I could be up there
just singing my ass off. I would
have some drag queens up
there. You’ll know who I am
because I’m about 2 feet tall.
That’s the unfortunate part –
you’ll be like, “Oh, (sad face) I
thought she’d look like him!”
He was in
his
element
and he was
freein’
willy and it
was
awesome...
he gave me
a bonerand I don’t
even know
how to
have one.
JH: You had your own drag
queen come to your
mother’s 70th birthday?
A: It was a total surprise. Michelle Visage got
me some really great ones from Ru’s show.
When I say I love a drag I’m not lying! I’ve
known Michelle since we were like in our early
early twenties in New York.

JH: If you could put
something from pop
history into room 101
which would it be..
1)Miley’s tongue?
2)Madonna’s Cape?
3)Lenny Kravitz’s leather
trousers?
A: Oh Lenny Kravitz. I’m sorry
but that one eyed monster
came out and I was like
WHATTTTTT! I was so excited;
I mean for him, I don’t know
how he feels…
JH: He trended for days…
A: I mean the picture was so
brilliant you couldn’t pose
better for it. He was in his
element and he was freein’ willy and it was
awesome. I was so in love with him at that
moment, he gave me a boner- and I don’t even
know how to have one so.
