Exclusive Interview - Miz Cracker

Originally published in Image 34 magazine’s 25th issue

Miz Cracker, our cover girl! Welcome to Image 34 magazine, the pleasure is all ours. Season 11 of RuPaul Drag Race has just started! However, it feels like we only just saw you and your season 10 sisters walking down the runway. How would you describe the last year?
The last year has been all about understanding the different cultures in every city around the world! As a global community we all have so much in common, but every place has its own flavor.

What was the first thing you did when you got the call to say you were on Ru Paul’s Drag Race?
When I got the call for the show, I immediately sat on the edge of my bed. Because I knew everything was gonna change.

What is your favourite memory of your season?
My favorite memory from the season is when Vixen and Blair and I realized that we trusted each other enough to be a team. It’s hard to find new friends.

Would you have done anything differently?
If I could do one thing differently in season 10, it would be even more food. The food on the set was delicious.

If you had to join any other season which would it be and why?
I would love to have joined the cast of season six, because I would get to see Bianka Delrio at work. There’s nothing like seeing her take on other queens in person. So sharp!

In your season you won the makeover challenge with Miz Cookie, her mirror reveal became an internet sensation. Are you still in touch?
Every time I visit LA, I make it a point to get in touch with cookie. Having an experience like that really bonds you.

“UK drag fans are some of the most respectful, intelligent, and kind fans. When touring in the UK, I feel like I’m Trixie Mattel, because they treat us queens like superstars.”

Before Drag Race, can you remember when you first discovered drag was for you?
The first time I turned around and saw myself in the mirror after Bob painted me, I realized I could never go back.

What was your favourite rejected name?
Kesha Predator

What is your favourite thing to do when you aren’t in drag?
Make hair for my drag. It’s therapeutic.

Hollywood just called and they are making a film about your life, what is the title?
I Can’t Pee Til Tomorrow

This isn’t your first time performing in the U.K. What do you love about the U.K fans?
UK drag fans are some of the most respectful, intelligent, and kind fans. When touring in the UK, I feel like I’m Trixie Mattel, because they treat us queens like superstars.

What is your favourite song to lip sync to on tour?
Call Me Mother

Name one thing you do after every show?
After every show, I turn to Katelyn and say: well that was good wasn’t it? Was it good?

You are known for your catchphrase ‘It’s time for Dinner’ but what is your favourite thing for dinner?
Brie on a cracker.

As well as touring the world you also post videos on your Youtube channel called ‘Review with a Jew’. What made you want to start making videos?
Review with a Jew came from a slideshow that I used to do live at my home bar. After season 10, I wanted to share it with the world. And the best way to do that was through you tube.

Next year you will be returning to the UK for an extra special show at the London Palladium! What can fans expect from this show?
American Woman is a high power show. There is energetic dancing, Some history lessons, stories from my life, and maybe a little spice girls. If you’re good!
