Gemini Gore Interview



1. Do you feel like drag gives you a confidence boost?

 Yes I do feel like drag gives me a confidence boost. To go from looking like a hot mess into a glamazon would make anyone feel good!

2. What are your long term goals and aspirations?

 Well for me I'd love to take this to be a full time career. If someday I can do this full time and be successful then I'd be happy.

3. What's been the highlight of your career so far?

 By far winning drag me to hell this October! It was my first competition and it still feels surreal that I'm the current queen of Halloween <3

4. If you were to lip sync for your life and got to choose the song, what song would it be?

 Groove is the heart- deee-lite

5. Have you always loved performing before you started doing drag?

 Always! I remember when I was maybe 5/6 doing a dance for my mom and dad in my underwear to my sharona by the knack. I've also done musical theatre in high school and just loved the stage ever since!

6. When your not doing drag what do you like doing?

 Well typically you can find me playing video games or watching a trashy reality tv show.

7. What's the key to a great performance?

 Give good mouth honey. Know the words and capture the essence of the song, take time to look at the words and understand what the singer is singing about.

8. What made you decide to start doing drag?

 I think the big factor if me thinking it was something I could do was seeing a local show in Feburary. Once I seen that these people could do it I knew I could!

9. Is there any downsides of doing drag?

 Hmm for me not really, I mean yeah there are things that are a pain but eveything just outways the "downsides".

10. What's the best part of doing drag for you?

 Performing, plain and simple! I enjoy entertaining people and having people talk about how awesome of a time they had.

Alana Duvey Interview

We recently caught up with the amazing Glasgow Queen, Alana Duvey and talked about her show Drag-Opticon, how she got into drag and more! 1. How did you find out about drag? I'd say when Dharma Geddon first sat me down and made me watch RuPaul's Drag Race for the first time. I was sceptical at first as I didn't think it was something I'd enjoy too much but it was season 4, arguably one of the best, definitely one of our favourites and I was hooked from the start. Sharon Needles, Latrice Royale and Chad Michaels were very much my standouts right off the bat! I guess I always remember Lily Savage, Dame Edna and Eddie Izzard being on TV growing up too, I always found them hilarious and still do. I always knew they were men in dresses but I was maybe a bit too young at that point to know that's a thing called drag or transvestism and that's what they were practicing. 2. What made you decide that this is what you wanted to do? It's crazy as I never w

We recently caught up with Jay Jackson aka "Laganja Estranja" and talked about dancing, drag, dancing queen and more! Check out our interiew below and we hope you enjoy it!                                                  Photography: Davide Laffe 1. Who or what inspired you to start drag? I was definitely inspired by the greats such as Coco Peru and Divine, the drag queens that came long before drag race, obviously RuPaul is a huge inspiration to me. I grew up with movies such as " But I'm Not a Cheerleader" , movies where he had small cameo roles, but he had such a big presence as a drag artist. I'm definitely inspired by people like Alan Cummings and overall I would say the art form itself inspired me at a young age because it was really a collaboration of dance, theatre, makeup, costuming, which was very common to what I was doing at the time which was Musical Theatre. 2. What made you decide to start dancing? I decided to start dancing when
