Interview - Anubis
How was your time on the show?
Short but sweet, darling! I am rather gutted that I didn’t get to showcase my theatrical vocals, silly impressions or my comedy chops but being a RuGirl has always been a dream of mine and now it’s come true! I’m sure this isn’t the last you’ll be seeing of Anubis on your screens, babes!
“To get validation from RuPaul, to know that she chose me to be part of the Drag Race family makes my heart sing -with autotune, of course! “
How do you feel being the first queen to sashay away this series?
It’s heartbreaking but someone’s got to do it, my love, and I’d rather go out with a bang and I’m proud that I did it dressed like a 8-foot crazy Squid lady whilst lipsyncing to a chart-topping pop song and balancing a wild cage of ginger hair on my head! Such fun!
What does it mean to have taken part in Drag Race UK?
It means everything to me. It’s an experience I will never forget. I wasn’t there very long so I’m clutching onto it and replaying every moment I had in the show! Ha! But truly, to get validation from RuPaul, to know that she chose me to be part of the Drag Race family makes my heart sing -with autotune, of course!
Do you have any advice to inspiring queens who watch the show?
Whatever you think you know about Drag Race, you don’t! Always stay totally true to yourself, be kind to EVERYONE you meet and just, have a bloody laugh! Do what makes you happy ,use your art/creativity/platform to lift up others who aren’t as loud - and don’t dress like a Squid!
What’s next for you?
I didn’t get a chance to showcase my fabulous voice, but standby as I have some new music on the way… A single MIGHT be coming soon. A new single? Anubis!
Also, stay tuned on my social media to see all the looks I would’ve bought to the competition (they’re rather FAB!) as well as fun videos each week of make-up, comedy & music! I will be touring across the UK so, so I’ll see you on the road…
