Monet X Change on Being in Drag From The Waist Up; Reclaiming Reggae and What Pride Means To Her
The Bellissimo Files Presents: Movies & MeShow Notes
On this episode of The Bellissimo Files, I'm joined by Monet X Change - a Queen who studied opera; was voted Miss Congeniality on season 10 of Ru Paul's Drag Race, her sponge costume has become iconic, she is the first double crown winner of Drag Race and on June 11 she releases her latest track, Love Like This.
She shares with me how she has adapted her work during the pandemic; her mission to "reclaim Reggae and make it super Queer"; what Pride means to her; how being apart brought herself and Bob the Drag Queen together for their Sibling Rivalry podcast; and her soft spot for Irish men.
