The second installment of my interviews with Dublin Drag Queens is with Pixie Woo. Pixie currently works and does shows in The Dragon.
Tell me about how you got started out in drag?
"I started in drag five years ago, originally as a joke for a college LGBT competition and this just kind of snowballed from there."
"People can expect to see a kind of satirical take of pop culture and celebrities. My shows are generally a comical interpretation of pop divas."
What famous people do you admire?
"I admire people like David Bowie and Boy George who pioneered a more creative theatrical take of music and fashion."
Favorite movie?
"Edward Scissorhands."
Favorite singer?
"David Bowie."
Favorite song to lip-sync?
"Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat"
Favorite Drag Star?
"Alaska Thunderfuck"
What advice would you give to people wanting to start drag?
"Advice for new queens starting out is be true to yourself and not try be someone else. You're a drag person should be a representation of your own personality and interests. Don't try be the goth queen if you're a massive Britney fan."
What's your confession?
"My ass isn't real! I bought it on ebay."
So what's next for you?
"I don't really know where I see myself in the future, drag is very unpredictable and things change so quickly."
