The season 11 winner turned herself and RuPaul’s Drag Race standards upside-down.
RuPauls Drag Racejust got weird (in the best way possible).
Read on for the full conversation.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Hello Yvie!
It hasnt all hit me.
Every now and then Ill get a text or a call and just burst out in giggles.

It sounded like a winners dinner!
Who the hell suggested Applebees for Americas Drag Superstar?Somebody who had my best interests at heart!
You never really get to see a diamond unless its pressed down in its coal state, first.
I mean, that final lip-sync was so breathtaking.
You told a story and connected with the emotion of the song instead of present pure spectacle.
I knew it had to be simple and delicate.
First and foremost, Im a fan of the show, and Im sick of seeing pointless reveals.
Now that Sasha Velour broke that gate open, I knew wed see a million forever.
Was there any significance to there being two faces?
The back of my head was made from a mold of my head, anyway.
That was all me on there.
[Signature Yvie laugh]
Ornacia was shaking.
I was just subbing in her for that night!
I also loved your Free Britney message on your underwear in the first lip-sync against AKeria.
I kind of wanted a tongue-in-cheek, half joke, half serious [move].
Obviously her story has progressed a little bit since then, but that was the meaning behind it.
I wanted to take a second to show people that Im culturally aware.
If youre going to have a gimmick in the lip-sync, it should tie to that song.
If I didnt get that song, I wasnt going to show people my underwear!
I hope people are more honest and critical with themselves going onto the show.
And I hope the fans are, too.
Youre not supposed to bethatreal with people going through life.
Youre supposed to let them live their life and ignore the fact that they have spinach on their teeth.
Its an uncomfortable situation to expose the truth to somebody, even if its not necessarily positive.
I was never delusional about where I was in the competition.
When I was failing, the other girls knew I was failing, and I knew I was failing.
I made the other girls aware that I knew I was failing.
Thats so toxic and its not just on the show, its in life.
There were viral threads with people thirsting after him.
People have always told me I have a hot dad.
Theres no safe space for me anymore!
He looks like a sweet man.
The last thing I want to ask you about is the music video you dropped today!
I enjoyed this process so much that I would like to start working on an album.
I just cant guarantee itll be out any moment soon now that Ive gotresponsibilities.
Wealwayshave a little more!
