Unfortunately, its time to crash, as the Shuga rush ofRuPauls Drag Raceseason 11 has worn off.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Hello, Miss Shuga!
Mettie Ostrowski for EW
I went for a good, long run today to let it go.
Im holding up all right!
You said in the episode that it makes absolutely no sense.
Then, watching it last night, I was like, No!
I actually did do well!
It made it worse!
I just have to take my time to work through it and keep going!
Its a small moment in a large lifetime.
It feelsespeciallywrong that they faulted amaturewoman for giving usthreecaftans!
In what world is three caftans on one woman a bad thing?
[Laughs] Exactly!
Michelles a tough one; shes hard to yo!
I found that out through the season.
I might burn it!
I had high hopes for that troll look.
We might just let her be!
Do a live performance of you burning the troll outfit!
[Laughs] That would be amazing.
Theres actually a Trolls exhibit in New York City.
Ive passed it numerous times.
But, I dont want to be caught dead in that look again!
Lets do a performance art piece there.
Im in New York too, I can meet you there.
Ill bring the lighter fluid and the matches, and you bring the outfit.
The other runway look I want to ask you about is the Trump look.
Did you get any flak for that?Absolutely!
My mouth was on the floor.
I found it difficult to understand how you might be aDrag Racefan and a fan of Donald Trump.
Its a weird, eye-opening experience to realize how muchDrag Racehas touched different walks of life around the world.
Weve seen crazier things from the fandom on this show, I guess!
Where does that come from?I dont know where it came from.
I had no clue I did that!
I get excited and animated.
When I was younger I used to say, Honey, child!
I was a wild kid, but I wasnt aware of it.
I do a recap show online, and the kids who comment on that brought it up.
I heard from my fiance that there are Reddit threads about it, too!
[So] Im aware of it now, and I think its funny.
When I open my mouth, it just kind of all comes out!
c’mon dont stop.
Its one of your many endearing qualities.
You were so sweet and composed throughout this season, while most girls get messy on this show.
Its just who I am.
Im 41, so I went through the crazy drama and catty stuff when I was younger.
I know how I want to be treated, and Im not interested in the drama.
I was focused on my performance and making an impression on RuPaul.
So, I spent my time thinking about how I could do better.
Initially, I thought of a den mama wrangling her kids.
Its like, thank God they werent my real kids, because they all wouldve been grounded!
Theyre calling you ShugaDaddyon Twitter.
Is that a role youre willing to embrace?
[Laughs] I guess!
Its weird to me, because I feel like Imsonot a daddy!
Im young at heart!
Ill never forget the time a young boy called me sir while helping me at a store.
I was like, What the hell?
I feel like Im so young.
I dont think Im ready to break that!
Okay, its still den mama!
I love traveling and I love the art!
Because you left a six-figure job to pursue it.
After this whole experience, has it reaffirmed that as the right decision?It definitely has.
Not so much on my bank account, but definitely on my soul.
I was a media producer for these [education technology] companies.
I worked for a charter school data pipe, producing their media content.
I made a crap-ton of money making fun videos to teach kids about math and science.
They have viewing parties.
I had to leave my last job and not tell them why [to go on the show].
My old boss was super-supportive about that, and has been rooting for me.
