“Even though I’m the first eliminated, it doesn’t really feel like that.
That was a gag for me.
I got padded for no reason!”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Kahmora!
Even though I’m the first eliminated, it doesn’t really feel like that.
Are you doing this interview from your bathtub?Unfortunately, not!
I’m in my Pokemon t-shirt and some shorts in my office right now.
It’s still a look, but, that was so funny!
Your edits and clips from that were hilarious.
I mean, you’re definitely going out as the queen wholookedthe best on her first elimination.
I meant it when I said I was the Mackie Doll.
This runway was inspired by his Fantasy Goddess of Asia Barbie doll.
I should’ve known!That being said, I had a bunch of looks up my sleeve.
I wanted to show versatility.
One theme that was constant throughout is everything was sparkly and rhinestoned.
Don’t let me fool you: This was not the best runway in my package.
It just would’ve gotten better!
You gagged everyone with the vintage Mackie you had tailored because you’re sample size!
It was cool to have his social media share it.
This was all worth it.
I hope I get to meet him again soon!
Maybe he’ll have something from the archives…. Whatever he wants to let me borrow!
This is what I wanted: Bob Mackie noticed me!
I did my best.
Bitch, how do I turn my four- or five-hour concept into an hour?
I was struggling to do it in an hour and make it on time.
I was late, yes, but I did my best!
I was only late once!
You looked great in both looks, so it was, well,latetime well spent!
I’m happy I got to share my story, but it’s not the whole picture.
I do have the support that I need and I’m in a good place.
I just don’t want people to worry.
Do you think that puts unfair expectations on you?A little bit!
It was so much pressure.
But I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long, this was my time to shine.
This is about Kahmora, it’s not about the other members of the House of Hall.
I did feel the pressure from that, knowing that Jaida just won.
I wish I had more fun.
It was my moment to shine, I shouldn’t have lingered on that!
Leading up to your elimination, you made a good impression!
You had me laughing so hard in the challenge.
You wearing the breastplate under the green screen suit, girl, that was so funny!
Did you think that tree was going to have CGI boobs!
I didn’t know I was going to be a thick ass tree trunk!
I thought I was going to be curvy with limbs and beautiful hair!
That’s why I was dressed for the part.
So you did wear the plate thinking you were going to have tree bark breasts?Yes!
I thought I was going to be the Mackie Doll of trees, not just a thick ass trunk!
That was a gag for me.
I got padded for no reason!
It’s a really great image, the little green screen nipples peeping out.
Ross directing you to get your “I was rooting for us” right was great, too.
I just remember the camera crew rolling their eyes every time I got it wrong [Laughs].
I felt like it was my third chance they’d given me.
I wanted to be something silly and out of the box for me.
I was so concerned about landing the lines and being perfect that I forgot to have fun.
Can you do the line reading properly, right now?Oh my God!
I think it was [clears throat in Tyra Banks for flawless execution] I wasrootingfor us!
You did it!I emphasized the right words!
Can we just go back in time?
That’s all I want right now!
Wecango back to talk about the critiques you received this season.
I have a silly side to me.
In my “Phenomenon” performance, I tried to make silly faces and sing and rap the song.
So it was like, am I just delusional?
It’s hard for people to understand the pressure you’re under.
I can see how it would make someone feel buttoned-up.
Why was that such a difficult thing for you to overcome?
I felt like I failed every time.
Even though I felt confident, it just wasn’t translating on the outside.
It was really frustrating.
In the lip-sync, it read like you were already defeated.
Or was that the weight of the dress?It was a little bit of both.
I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to move in the dress as much as Denali.
I knew she would do what she does best, I wouldn’t expect anything less.
I knew the show must go on and do what I do best: Serve face and look beautiful.
I kept moving and that’s all I could do.
kindly check that out!
