ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How are you feeling, reliving this elimination versus how you felt when you first left?
Let’s start on a bright note:Snatch Game.
You were one of the best of the challenge as Tan Mom.

Who were some of your backups, and how did you land on Tan Mom?
I broughtJudy Garlandwith me.
Luckily, I didn’t.
Your eyes are bigger than your brain at this point.
I didn’t want to fail Judy in front of RuPaul.
I also brought Julia Fox, but I had no idea what I was going to do with that.
I just brought the looks.
Can I put you on the spot and have you do Judy right now?
As Judy, I just talked like [her] and I did a lot of the pills talking.
I don’t know!
In my mind, Tan Mom was the weirdest choice, but it made the most sense to me.
Have you heard from her?
She tweeted about the show in general, just how greatDrag Raceis.
She said that I did her justice or something.
I really can’t tell with this verbiage she’s using.
I was like, no, she liked it.
We saw Sugar getting in your space, and you told her to calm down.
Was that part of the act or were you really telling her to back off?
Was it Romper Room energy?
I think it came out.
It worked with the character.
Something else that worked and had people talking: Your Lady Gaga runway.
Was that always the plan, or was it a backup?
That was the first runway prompt I conceptualized firmly.
That’s so beautiful.
The horror part, the nightmare part, is the blood, the gore, the theatrics.
Could I have done something original?
Yes, but I’m a firm believer that if something’s not broken, don’t fix it.
So much of drag is repurposing and tributing our divas.
Hopefully it resonates with some people.
That message is relevant especially to the season 15 cast right now.
It’s important to talk about the Marcia and Mistress thing.
It led to craziness online, with Mistress being bullied and her Instagram getting reported and deactivated.
We’re over it.
We have a group chat and talk daily, and do daily check-ins with everybody.
I’m thankful for the sisterhood we’ve created.
When has it ever been this gross and this bad?
It’s been talked about, it’s history.
For people to start picking it all back up and reminding us, that’s no fun.
What were your reactions in the room?
I was ready for them.
Pretty much all of the reads were about me and Robin.
Like, alright, that’s one route you might take.
What were some of the other jokes?
I was like, come on, originality!
What’s the tea there?
Was there a secret crush in the Werk Room?
Here’s something you’re gonna wanna know, or you’ll figure it out.
Aura is very horny.
We all felt it at one point or another.
Like, what is this?
Aura’s hitting on everyone in the cast?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen, it’s a cute cast!
We’re pretty cute, so…
This week, we love to see a design challenge, it’s fun to see the queens working.
How different was the look that we saw on the runway from your original design?
It was so far from what I wanted to do couldn’t have been further.
We had the same concept and same kind of idea.
You pulled something together under pressure.
Yep, in less than a day.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
The other person decided to keep going with their vision?
I’m not going to say the name, but they were in my group.
It wasn’t a contentious thing?
That was my spiraling downfall.
It led to this fun lip-sync between you and Salina.
Heading into the lip-sync, what was your headspace?
I’m going to be honest; I didn’t have good intentions going into it.
I wasn’t expecting a positive outcome.
