The third installment of my interviews with Dublin Drag Queens is with Anna Sthetic. Anna has only started doing drag in the last couple of months but has already performed shows in Limerick & The George.
Tell me about how you got started out in drag?
"I first started drag when I saw one of my best friends (pixie woo) who is now my drag mother working in drag in prhomo, I was mesmerised and said to myself 'I want to do that'".
When people come to see you perform what can they expect?
"When people come to one of my shows they can expect to see something different, an element of surprise if you will! Crazy looks and generally something unexpected, depending on the performance!"
Favorite song to lip-sync?
My favourite song to lip sync to would probably be B*witched-C'est La Vie!
Favorite movie?
"My favourite movie would have to be party monster! I love the whole story, the costumes, the makeup as that's generally the type of drag that I gravitate towards."
Favorite singer?
" I generally don't have one if I'm honest! As a drag queen my style and taste in music and artists is always changing so I never stick to one type of genre or one artist, I have a great mix that I like"
Favorite Drag Star?
"In dublin, Pixie Woo but internationally it would have to be Nina flowers!"
What advice would you give to people wanting to start drag?
"For people starting off in drag I would say, don't give up, if it's what you really want to do then keep going for it! Work hard, do shows every chance that you can get, do it for passion and not for money, make it fun, be different and don't take it too seriously!"
What's your confession?
"I've never bought an item of drag clothes myself. It's all been bits that friends have given me."
