Milk drag queen5/26/2023 ![]() It's not RuPaul's Female Impersonation Race. It's important to mix it up! I don't consider drag as female impersonation. I also wanted to break up the visual of 10 female Ru doppelgangers onstage. Why did you choose to walk the runway as a man, and how would you respond to critics who would say that drag is limited to "dressed to resemble a girl? " First and foremost, I knew "Workroom Ru" would be a hilariously fun look to execute. Your runway look of male RuPaul last episode is sure to become an iconic moment in the show's history. I loved it! I was actually impressed with my makeup it was a big change from previous episodes. Do you think your more feminine runway look this episode helped or hindered you? What's more feminine than pregnancy, I ask you? I don't think it hindered at all! It just happened to be not exactly what they wanted. Her videos were always fun! There was a lot of pressure on you to execute a more feminine look, since your drag often incorporates masculine or camp elements. But how about my dance, though? I was having a ball! Who is your favorite artist in this genre? (Other than Michelle Visage, of course!) I've most listened to Missy Elliott. Was there an aspect of the challenge that was particularly difficult for you? I take a little more time than most to memorize, so with the small amount of time we had, I'd say that was difficult. I was happy with all aspects of the rap challenge. I'll listen to it if it's on, but I never search it out. What was your approach to executing your rap, look, and dance? What! A tall lanky white drag queen from the suburbs of upstate New York? I have never been into hip-hop. But you did seem a little out of your element. You looked like you were having a blast with the main challenge, which involved making a music video in the style of '90s women rappers. Is there a read of Gia that you'd like to share? In theaters this summer: Willy WonkEYE and the Tilapia Factory. The Advocate: How did you prepare for RuPaul's Drag Race ? Milk: In the shower with a buzzer and a razor! Sadly, eliminated contestant Gia Gunn was not present when the library was open during the "reading" mini-challenge. The Advocate interviewed Milk about his pun-inviting drag name, the whole truth about his crush on fellow contestant Courtney Act, and the recent controversy surrounding offensive terms in the recent "Female or Shemale" mini-challenge.
