ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Hello, Ariel!
How are you holding up after last night are you okay?ARIEL VERSACE:I feel fine!
Low-key in my head, it felt like this nightmare that Ive always had.
But honestly, seeing it on TV wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be.
It was an amazing experience.
Everyone falls, and when you fall, you get back up.
I stand behind every look.
Thats all I can do: Be proud of what I presented.
This isDrag Racewere talking about, and its a good source of entertainment.
Are you okay with the meme-ification of your demise?One hundred percent!
Im going to start requesting memes.
Youve also joined the likes of Farrah Moan and Akashia as queens whove fallen on the main stage.
Thats not bad company to be in, right?Right!
Lets not be delusional: Drag queens fall all the time.
Mine just happened to be on national television.
At least it was on national television because, well, I was on national television!
I felt like it was going to happen.
I think I jinxed myself.
Its something thats memorable now.
You have to be thankful because its such a talking point?Yeah!
There could be worse things.
Like, my outfit couldve been falling apart like some people.
Your outfit could haveaccidentally revealed itselflike Kahannas!
[Laughs] Right, the unintentional tear-away!
Your online presence this season has been fascinating.
You even pushed back againstBillboardon Twitter, calling out someone for writing recaps that criticized you.
Why do you think it affected you that much?People dont understand.
We all have feelings, we see everything you write.
I pushed back on [a critique of my zodiac look].
I was super-proud of that Aries outfit.
It literally was one of the most fan-arted [looks].
Were not going to call it that because its not.
That was one of my favorite looks of that episode.Right.
Youre not going to criticize peoples hard work with unwarranted things.
Go ahead, read my mermaid look for filth, because that wasnt something I was 100 on.
It couldve been better.
Thats not going to fly with me!
Why?I wanted to be a mermaid!
My drag name came fromThe Little Mermaid, so I went with my instinct.
You dont have a lot of time to think about things.
Its do or die….
I had a mini-vision in my head and said, Bitch, Im going to be a mermaid!
I started constructing immediately.
You dont have time to second-guess yourself.
I loved your first two outfits this week.
I thought your glasses workedperfectlywith the second outfit!Right!
Until the day I die, I will stand behind those two outfits.
They were two of my favorite looks that I wore on the show.
Especially when you called the first one a punk rockSilent Hillnurse.
I love your consistent pop culture references.
I died when you said, Lights, camera, and me without a stitch of makeup on!
fromDrop Dead Gorgeousin your intro interview.I loveDrop Dead Gorgeous.
In Philadelphia, we did a live show ofDrop Dead Gorgeous.
Of course I was Denise Richards, the one who dies in the swan!
Would you consider yourself a pop culture geek?Definitely!
Pop culture is something everyone can relate to.
So I was like, I need to wear this outfit!
Thats what I love about you.
Shes a little meme queen.
My boyfriend and I own a hair company.
Why would Inotbring my biggest and best hair to the competition?
People kept reading me for the similar hair silhouette when people do similar silhouettes all the time.
Look at Trixie Mattel: She always has her big, blonde hair and people love it.
I wear big hair.
Ariel Versace slays big hair!
People knew me from online.
People expected a certainsomethingfrom me.
Theyll judge you for anything.
Im going to keep on wearing my big hair because I love it.
Im going to keep on wearing it, Mary, because thats what I like.
For my needle dress, I had that giant red updo.
It wasnt a little floopy-floop, it was a giant red updo!
And my witch look, it was a pinup-style roll, but oh well!
I wish we couldve seen more!Youll see all my looks online.
I have them all pictured.
There will be different hair and silhouettes.
Youll see them, and people will be gagging for them just like they always used to.
