00:00 - Well, you know, if Dawn is evil and I'm her close friend,
00:01 does that make me an accomplice?
00:02 - You're an evil accomplice, apparently.
00:04 - It looks like I just freshly murdered my eighth husband.
00:07 So like...
00:07 - I would love to see that.
00:09 - You'd love to see me murder my eighth husband?
00:10 - Yeah, no, your ninth.
00:11 - What are you doing later?
00:12 - Oh my God, no, no, Dawn.
00:14 (laughing)
00:16 Hello, I'm Joey Nolte with Entertainment Weekly
00:21 gathered here to have a key with the cast
00:22 of "RuPaul's Drag Race" season 16.
00:24 And though the picture screen you're about to see her on
00:27 might've gotten small, like, you know,
00:28 when you're watching "Drag Race" on your iPad,
00:30 she's sure to remain a big star throughout.
00:32 Please welcome another queen in the running
00:34 for this year's BFA Weaponizer title, Ms. Plasma.
00:37 (laughing)
00:39 - The fact that you can already, you know,
00:41 infer that from this is impressive.
00:43 And also, yes, that would be me.
00:46 - The second you walked in the room and I saw this,
00:48 I was like, yeah, okay, yeah, Jan, BFA Weaponizer, no.
00:52 This is the new one, this is the new one.
00:55 - Oh yeah, hello, hi.
00:57 Thank you very much for being here.
00:59 You look, I mean, look at this.
01:01 I mean, this is just a casual interview look.
01:04 Just, yeah.
01:05 - I literally just woke up 10 minutes ago.
01:06 Where am I?
01:07 - Of course, yeah, I don't know.
01:08 Who knows?
01:09 Who the hell knows where we are?
01:10 - It's tough for us to know.
01:11 - Yeah.
01:12 With skimming through your photos online
01:13 and seeing some of your performances,
01:15 I have to say, in addition to just the looks,
01:16 it feels really refreshing, I think,
01:18 to see a queen from a younger generation
01:20 doing these tributes to, like, old Hollywood
01:23 and stage productions from so many different eras.
01:26 You go from, like, Death Becomes Her to Chicago to Herbie
01:31 to Marilyn Monroe, Funny Girl.
01:34 So do you remember what first sparked an interest
01:37 in this aesthetic and this classic vibe,
01:39 like, as a little theater kid growing up?
01:41 - Yeah, so I love to tell this story.
01:43 My grandmother has a magnet on her refrigerator
01:45 of Lucille Ball from the Chocolate Shoppe scene
01:48 on I Love Lucy.
01:49 And I remember, like, growing up,
01:50 we would watch the Red Skelton Show.
01:51 We would watch, like, all the classics.
01:54 And I just sort of, like, I don't know,
01:56 I saw Wicked when I was nine,
01:58 which, like, really just makes a lot of sense
02:00 looking at me now.
02:01 I just, I've always loved it.
02:02 I've always had a flair for the theatrical.
02:05 We grew up watching, you know, The Sound of Music.
02:06 When I found Funny Girl for the first time,
02:08 I was like, oh my God, I've never seen an entertainer
02:09 with such presence and also such a nose
02:12 that looks like this nose.
02:14 And it just, like, it opened a lot of doors for me.
02:17 And it was the first thing that I ever recognized
02:19 as an art form and a career that would make sense to me.
02:23 My grandmothers and the people that have really formed me
02:25 as an individual taught me a lot about the classics.
02:29 So it's sort of like an homage to them.
02:31 - I was just gonna say, yeah, it sounds like it's a,
02:32 it has a meaning for you beyond just being an aesthetic
02:35 or a vibe, like, it has a connection to family for you.
02:38 - Yeah, for sure.
02:39 - That's beautiful.
02:40 That really is beautiful.
02:41 But speaking of Funny Girl,
02:42 I saw your photos in full costume
02:44 outside the theater in New York.
02:47 So what did you think of Lea Michele?
02:49 - Who is that?
02:50 I know who that is.
02:51 That was a joke. - Oh my God,
02:51 oh my God, I got rid of this.
02:52 - No, I was like, and that's what you missed on Glee.
02:55 No, I did not see Lea in that production.
02:57 I saw Beanie on the third row.
02:59 - What was Beanie doing?
03:00 - What was the next question?
03:01 (laughing)
03:02 No, I actually, okay, I'm a nerd
03:04 and I worship at the feet of Barbra Streisand.
03:07 And I actually, I went,
03:10 I saw a preview of Beanie Feldstein in Funny Girl
03:13 at the August Wilson Theater
03:15 and my gay ass went home
03:16 and wrote a four page review, single spaced.
03:19 I think it's, is it still on my Instagram?
03:20 You've obviously done your homework on my socials, so.
03:22 - You published it on Instagram?
03:23 - Yeah.
03:24 - A four page review?
03:25 - Yeah.
03:26 - Do those like four separate Instagram posts?
03:28 Or was it a carousel?
03:29 - No, no, no, I didn't like post the photo.
03:30 I like, I put the link to the Dropbox in my bio.
03:34 And I said, if you're interested
03:35 in expanding your literary prowess
03:38 on the musical Funny Girl, now running at the August Wilson,
03:40 go, go check it out.
03:42 Because I am, unfortunately I am that BFA girl
03:45 that you suspected I was.
03:46 - Yeah, oh, clocked it real quick.
03:48 Real quick, as soon as I clicked on the Instagram,
03:50 I was like, yep, this is the one.
03:51 This is the one.
03:52 So there were several that were in the running, I think,
03:53 and doing the research and looking through.
03:56 But then I was like, no, this is the one.
03:57 (upbeat music)
04:00 You did describe yourself in a past interview
04:06 as a musical theater BFA wielding menace,
04:10 who studied at the Oklahoma University, correct?
04:13 - University of Oklahoma, yes.
04:14 - Oh, University of Oklahoma.
04:16 I've been trying to get to the bottom of this today
04:18 because there seems to be quite a few of you on this season.
04:20 But like, we sure, like we're claiming
04:22 BFA Weaponizer number one.
04:23 Like we're for sure claiming that.
04:25 - Down.
04:26 - Okay, all right. - Yes, down boots.
04:27 - Just needed to get it confirmed.
04:28 But what is it like having all of those theater kids
04:31 together in the room on season 16?
04:34 - Oh my God, it's a nightmare.
04:36 It's demoralizing.
04:39 It's dehumanizing for sure.
04:40 - Dehumanizing?
04:41 - Oh my God, yeah, going to an,
04:42 it feels like I'm at Pearl Studios all day, all night.
04:45 It feels like I'm lining up for the open call
04:46 for the Hairspray National Tour that shut COVID down.
04:49 No, I just, it's, it really is a, it's a true treat.
04:52 And I've made so many good friends with those girls
04:56 and they, a mandatory meeting,
04:59 and I talk about this quite frequently
05:00 about how she saw me and was like, that's a BFA girl.
05:04 I have to stay away from her.
05:06 And now we're good friends.
05:07 And I'm like, that's so funny
05:08 because she was on the national tour of Kinky Boots
05:09 before I even stepped foot in drag.
05:12 So.
05:13 - Well, I hate to tell you what she told me
05:16 in our interview.
05:17 She-
05:18 - Praise for empathy.
05:18 - No, she, don't get up, don't get up.
05:20 - No, no, no, she told me that she is now
05:22 a reformed theater kid.
05:24 She doesn't claim it anymore, I don't think.
05:26 - Well, you know, the, the, the.
05:28 - What do you have to say about that?
05:31 - Yeah, what are my comments about a mandatory meeting?
05:34 As reformed as I think she would like to think she is,
05:37 she is not.
05:38 You know, I've never met a congenial theater kid,
05:40 but I'd like to change the narrative
05:41 and I would like to be a congenial BFA (beep).
05:43 That being said, a mandatory meeting,
05:45 you will never escape your heritage.
05:47 So you'll have to grapple with that.
05:48 I'll see you in the parking lot for the title.
05:51 - Well, she, like, I'm just wondering,
05:52 what theater do we think that Amanda is performing on?
05:55 At what stage?
05:56 - Hopefully a large one.
05:58 She's very tall.
05:59 - Well, no, I meant like,
06:01 if we had like an aesthetic, a vibe for her,
06:03 'cause like when she came in here, she came in dressed like,
06:04 she had like a bra on with like a fur coat.
06:07 And I was just like, what, what Broadway theater is this?
06:09 - Do you want the inside scoop?
06:11 - I do.
06:11 - She borrowed that fur coat from a very dear friend.
06:13 And quite honestly, she should give it back.
06:16 Animal cruelty.
06:17 - But I'm not talking about the coat.
06:18 No, what was the question again?
06:20 - No, we can move on.
06:23 At university, that's where you got your start in drag,
06:25 correct?
06:25 - Yes.
06:26 - So I understand that you had a very interesting prop
06:28 and costume change during a pageant there.
06:31 Can you tell me about that?
06:32 - How much homework did you do over there?
06:34 Now, hold on, wait, wait, wait.
06:35 - I got a whole iPad's worth.
06:36 - Wait, a prop and costume change.
06:37 Now, I was in theater school,
06:39 so a lot of my day-to-day was prop and costume changing.
06:42 Okay, so we had a pageant at the University of Oklahoma
06:45 called Miss STI,
06:47 which stood for Student Theater Initiative.
06:49 - Okay, we got there.
06:50 - Yeah, yeah, we got there.
06:51 My sophomore year, I was like,
06:53 you know, I've always sort of been low-key obsessed
06:55 with Marilyn Monroe, cut to today.
06:57 I love Marilyn Monroe.
06:59 She's just an icon,
07:01 and I'd love to do a number in tribute to her.
07:03 And my dad got wind of this,
07:04 my biological father, Thomas, hi, dad.
07:06 And he was like, well,
07:08 are you doing like the "Seven Year Itch" sidewalk scene?
07:11 And I was like, yes.
07:13 And he was like, what if?
07:15 Because I really need you to blow these (beep) away.
07:17 What if I built you a sidewalk?
07:19 Is this the prop you were thinking of?
07:20 - This is the one I was thinking of.
07:21 - Oh, yeah.
07:22 My father built me like a two-foot by four-foot
07:26 rolling sidewalk, subway-grade platform
07:29 with a box fan built into it on rolling,
07:32 like on casters, and it plugged in backstage.
07:35 And literally my backup dancers
07:36 wheeled me around the black box theater
07:38 as my skirt is blowing up,
07:40 and I probably looked like a dog in that makeup.
07:42 But I was, you couldn't tell me (beep).
07:44 I literally was rolling around the theater
07:46 in the University of Oklahoma
07:47 Weizenhofer School of Musical Theater,
07:48 Weizenhofer Theater,
07:49 and my skirt was blowing up
07:50 at this little rinky-dink college charity fundraiser
07:53 drag show.
07:54 And that was when I knew Plasma was a vintage girl.
07:56 - That's a superstar right there,
07:57 when you're doing that at the University of Oklahoma,
08:00 just like, I mean, middle of the country.
08:02 - Yeah.
08:03 - This amount of engineering that went into this?
08:05 - The engineering, mama, yeah.
08:07 And you thought Wicked was impressive.
08:09 - All of these inspirations and these elements
08:11 that are rooted in very pre-established aesthetics,
08:15 I would say, and you do it very well.
08:17 But so what are we getting at a Plasma show, though,
08:20 in addition to the looks?
08:21 - You're getting a lot of mental health awareness.
08:23 You're getting a lot of,
08:25 I love a drinking game.
08:28 I play a drinking game at my shows in New York
08:29 where I will sing Liza with a Z live.
08:31 And every time I say Liza, someone has to take a shot.
08:34 - That's a lot.
08:35 - Which I love, well, it's Liza!
08:36 There's a lot of singing.
08:39 There's a lot of foolery.
08:40 I love to be on the microphone.
08:41 I love to talk with people.
08:42 I love to connect with people.
08:44 I'm one of the only queens in New York doing
08:47 the classic MGM old Hollywood (beep).
08:50 But I also will mix it with contemporary references.
08:52 So for instance, I have a mix at home
08:54 where I start with "The Lonely Goat Heard"
08:56 from "The Sound of Music"
08:57 and transition into "Throat Goat" by Kim Petras.
08:59 Mental health is very important.
09:02 - I love that you paused after that
09:03 'cause you knew the reaction.
09:04 - Well, it usually sparks joy, as Marie Kondo would say.
09:08 No, but I love to turn the old classic Hollywood tropes
09:12 on their head.
09:13 And I think that the women of that era were so,
09:15 they were empowered by society,
09:17 but they were completely destroyed
09:19 by their immediate surroundings.
09:22 And I think that it's important that we sort of
09:25 reclaim the narrative of glamor and comfort
09:28 and awareness and openness
09:30 and having humor at your place of work.
09:34 Yeah, which, if only drag was fun,
09:36 then maybe we could have it in my own industry.
09:38 (upbeat music)
09:41 - Do you think that it's maybe like a dying art,
09:48 like classic drag queen? - Drag?
09:50 God, I hope so.
09:51 - Well, yeah, no. (laughs)
09:53 After this, but like classic drag queens
09:55 doing old school or like theater inspired things.
09:59 Like, do you think the market is changing
10:00 or more challenging for queens
10:02 who are leaning into the aesthetic that you're doing?
10:05 - The drag entertainment complex in New York
10:08 is very saturated.
10:09 We have a lot of very talented performers in New York City,
10:12 many of whom were dear friends.
10:13 There is not a lot of old school representation.
10:17 And I've found, I feel like I'm super lucky
10:20 because I sort of have a following of people
10:22 that love the classics.
10:24 And I've sort of, we bond over our love for the classics
10:26 and for like turning those narratives around
10:29 and breathing new life into them.
10:31 I'm really proud to say that I think that I've
10:33 given it another opportunity to flourish in New York City.
10:37 'Cause I do not see a lot of queens doing what I do.
10:39 And I've gotten a lot of (beep) for doing what I do
10:40 instead of doing, you know, Kim Petras or Kylie,
10:44 or you know, like the things that people want to hear.
10:47 Quite frankly, it's my show,
10:48 so I don't really give a (beep)
10:49 what anyone else wants to hear.
10:50 And if you come to my bar, then I'll get you really drunk
10:52 and you're gonna love Doris Day tonight.
10:54 (laughs)
10:56 - So did you, I imagine in New York City,
10:59 you know, doing what you do,
11:00 you have to have had cross paths with like Alexis Michelle,
11:03 or like, do you, do you?
11:05 - Oh, her?
11:05 (laughs)
11:08 No, it's actually, yes,
11:09 I've crossed paths with Alexis multiple times.
11:12 I just said that very strangely, phonetically.
11:14 I've crossed paths with Alexis multiple times.
11:16 - Okay, jinx, that's Judy.
11:18 - Well, yeah, it's just on my camera.
11:21 No, Alexis and I are friends,
11:22 and the first night I ever, actually,
11:24 oh, this is a fun story.
11:26 Great segue, great segue.
11:27 Here we go, you ready for this?
11:27 - Okay, ready.
11:29 - The first night I ever did drag in New York City
11:31 was at a pageant called Lady Liberty,
11:34 and Brita and--
11:36 - Jose was in that too, right?
11:37 - Yes, she was, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:38 Brita was hosting, and Alexis was the guest judge star,
11:42 and the first thing that we talked about
11:44 were the materials that Anthony Powell used
11:46 on Glenn Close's Sunset Boulevard costumes.
11:48 - It was a bond forged in heaven.
11:50 - It was a bond forged, well, forged in something.
11:53 (laughs)
11:54 And that club, oh, yuck.
11:55 - Okay, no, I love that.
11:57 - Yeah, so we like hit it off directly,
12:00 and I was doing a Maryland number that night,
12:01 and I had the giant pink dress
12:02 with diamonds, or a girl's best friend, all of that.
12:04 And Alexis was like, "I like what you're getting at,
12:07 "and we have a lot in common."
12:08 And it was a really cool moment of like,
12:10 "Oh my God, a Rue girl noticed me.
12:12 "We talked about fabric, it was so gay, I loved it."
12:16 It was great.
12:17 - Did she give you advice for going on the show?
12:19 - No.
12:20 - Did you ask her?
12:20 - No.
12:21 (laughs)
12:22 I've been on a bit of an aesthetic journey,
12:24 a makeup journey specifically, in very recent times.
12:27 Alexis and I, like, I was not at a point
12:29 where I could conceptualize doing drag
12:31 at such a high level, I think.
12:32 I was very much a baby, and so I didn't think
12:35 that it even crossed my mind that I would be here now.
12:38 Yeah, in hindsight, maybe I should have asked her a question.
12:40 - How to pull someone's lipstick.
12:42 - Oh, just cry a lot.
12:43 - Just cry a lot.
12:44 - Just cry a lot.
12:45 - Okay, an Oscar, no, no, no, no, Tony.
12:47 She deserves a Tony for that, for that performance.
12:51 But also, okay, so to pay the bills,
12:52 we all have our day jobs as well,
12:54 and just like Miss Robin Fierce at Best Buy last year,
12:57 someone who has TVs, I saw you posted on Instagram
13:00 that you went to your day job at Equinox in full drag.
13:05 So how did that go, and what exactly is your day job there?
13:09 - Well, it doesn't exist anymore, quite frankly,
13:11 which is wonderful.
13:12 I actually, I quit my job at Equinox
13:14 to become a full-time drag queen in New York City.
13:17 I believe that kindness is very important,
13:19 so give me just a moment.
13:20 - Yes, take all the time you need, yes.
13:22 - Thank you.
13:23 I worked at Equinox on Wall Street
13:25 as my first actual tax-paying job in New York City,
13:30 and that was insane.
13:33 And I used to take my sketchbook and draw looks,
13:37 like sketch looks, at the front desk
13:39 while people would be coming in,
13:40 and I'd be like, "Yeah, yeah, you look hot," or whatever.
13:42 "Thank you, welcome."
13:44 And they'd be like, "Oh yeah, it's a peplum.
13:45 "Do you like that?"
13:46 And it's just, I would be working on drag when I was at work.
13:49 And then I transferred to a different location
13:51 and met a lot of wonderful people,
13:52 and the manager at my new location
13:54 knew that I was a drag queen
13:55 and came to see me perform at a Valentine's Day gig I did.
13:58 And then she was like,
13:59 "Would you ever wanna do drag here at Equinox?"
14:02 And I was like, "I think that sounds like a hate crime.
14:04 "No, thank you."
14:06 And then she was like, "No, no, no, we'll pay you.
14:08 "We'll get you in there, we'll make sure you're safe.
14:09 "You don't have to perform at all.
14:10 "Just, we're throwing a party for some sort of event
14:13 "that they do at gyms."
14:15 Literally didn't think that those existed, and also, yuck.
14:17 But she was like, "We would love to have you."
14:19 And so they literally paid me to come to my day job
14:22 and clock in in drag.
14:24 It was great.
14:25 And I was, I mean, if you've seen it in the video
14:26 that I posted, I'm all over the tables.
14:28 - Yes, you are. - I'm annoying people.
14:30 I took a group fitness class.
14:31 - You did?
14:32 What did you look like at the end of that day?
14:33 - No comment.
14:34 No comment, please.
14:35 (both laughing)
14:37 (upbeat music)
14:40 - There's so much different representation
14:48 of what makes New York City drag good this year,
14:51 and there's so many New York girls this season.
14:53 - Yeah.
14:54 - So how many of them did you know beforehand
14:56 coming into the season?
14:57 Did you, had you run in the same circles as some of them?
14:58 - Yeah, I had met Tsunami once,
15:01 and we had become friends on social media.
15:02 And then I had also met Dawn once at a photo shoot.
15:05 Are we counting Amanda Tsunami?
15:06 - I forget, she told me, but I forget the answer.
15:07 - Well, she's rebuking her BFA.
15:10 - So she's rebuking New York.
15:11 She's now officially rebuking New York.
15:12 - Yeah, I mean, she is now currently my neighbor in Harlem,
15:15 but like--
15:16 - Oh, wait, so she does live in New York.
15:17 - Well, she lives in New York,
15:18 but she didn't claim New York,
15:19 but she's like, she got her BFA, and she, I don't know.
15:21 - The math isn't mathing.
15:22 - The math isn't, she did not attend a mandatory meeting
15:25 on where the hell she's from.
15:26 - She did not.
15:27 - Literally.
15:28 - Someone alert the corporate HR.
15:29 - Someone, yeah, call Rue.
15:30 Call Rue, Rue needs to know
15:31 that we have an identity crisis on set.
15:33 (laughing)
15:35 No, I had met some of the New York girls,
15:37 and I grew up in Northeast rural Texas,
15:39 and then I went to school in Oklahoma.
15:40 So when I got to New York and saw the drag,
15:42 I was like, this is like watching the Olympics
15:45 every single night on a Tuesday in the village.
15:49 Like, it is unbelievable.
15:51 I consider New York to be the drag capital of the world.
15:54 It's really an honor to represent New York City,
15:56 and to come from a very rural, lovely place
16:00 that I quite enjoyed as a young queer person,
16:02 and to represent New York is really, it's an honor.
16:06 - And you know, you are now on the Olympics of drag,
16:08 on RuPaul's Drag Race,
16:10 and I imagine that it was a very wild season,
16:13 given this cast, it's a really good cast.
16:15 So what can you tease about,
16:19 I mean, we know there's twists every season,
16:21 or maybe multiple twists every season,
16:22 so what can you tease about what's coming
16:24 in the episodes ahead,
16:26 and how does this season step it up
16:27 from past seasons of Drag Race?
16:29 - I can tell you this, I have never in my life,
16:32 being from New York City,
16:33 and feeling like I watch the Olympics every night,
16:35 I have never in my life seen such a high level of drag
16:37 in my entire life.
16:38 It made me, being there,
16:40 being completely flummoxed by it in the moment,
16:43 it made me so excited to be a drag queen and a drag artist.
16:46 And I feel like a lot of people get burnt out
16:47 after their experience here at Drag Race,
16:49 and I left itching to put it all back on,
16:54 and go back to work.
16:55 - That's great.
16:56 - It's invigorating, it's inspiring,
16:58 it's got a mix of classic and new and fresh,
17:01 it's got a mix of old drag, new drag, quirky drag,
17:04 I mean, y'all saw Dawn.
17:06 And it checks all the boxes, quite frankly.
17:10 - Yeah, well speaking of Dawn,
17:11 a lot of people have said that Dawn is evil.
17:15 And I'm asking everybody now,
17:16 'cause Mirage told me that Dawn is evil,
17:19 is Dawn evil?
17:20 - I think there's a reason why Dawn wears
17:22 all the pointy ears,
17:23 because she is a (beep) goblin.
17:25 No, Dawn and I are actually very, very, very close friends,
17:27 and I adore her.
17:28 Which, well, you know, if Dawn is evil,
17:29 and I'm her close friend,
17:30 does that make me an accomplice?
17:31 - Well, you're an evil accomplice, apparently.
17:33 - Well, it looks like I just freshly murdered
17:34 my eighth husband, so like.
17:36 - I would love to see that.
17:37 - You'd love to see me murder my eighth husband?
17:39 - Yeah, no, your ninth.
17:40 - What are you doing later?
17:40 - Oh my God, no, no, Dawn, no.
17:43 My dream to be murdered by a drag queen.
17:45 Okay, so the last question I'll ask you, though,
17:47 is if you had a dose, or several doses,
17:50 of the Mistress Isabel Brooks drag delusion vaccine,
17:53 who would you give it to on the cast?
17:56 And I will say somebody said you.
17:58 - Somebody said me?
17:59 Are you at liberty to share who?
18:01 Or is that against--
18:02 - A journalist protects their sources.
18:03 - Doctor-patient confidentiality, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:05 So in this scenario, the vaccine like cures the delusion?
18:09 - Correct.
18:09 - And someone said me?
18:10 - Well, so like, just implying that you needed the vaccine.
18:13 This interview's over.
18:14 (laughs)
18:15 I'm like, call my agent, I'm outta here.
18:17 - She is about to murder me.
18:18 - No, no, no, yeah, I'm not gonna give you an answer
18:20 that I don't believe in, that I wouldn't stand by.
18:22 - That's what I want.
18:23 - And, and, I, it--
18:25 - You are stuck on somebody saying you.
18:27 - I am, I'm plucked, I'm gooped.
18:30 And now, fully vaccinated,
18:31 if someone needs the drag delusion vaccine,
18:35 in this first rollout, if we're operating
18:37 on a priority basis, I really don't wanna say plain Jane,
18:41 because I think she's gotten enough airtime.
18:43 - Wouldn't be first.
18:44 - But, that girl is rotted from the inside out,
18:47 and I just, I would love to have a doctor examine
18:50 what's going on behind all of that.
18:53 - That's been the majority answer so far.
18:54 - Really?
18:55 - Yes.
18:56 - Well, that's not very interesting, is it?
18:57 I'm gonna say Dawn.
18:58 (laughs)
18:59 - Okay, so Dawn is evil, yes.
19:00 - Dawn--
19:01 - Dawn is evil, we're coming back to Dawn.
19:02 - Dawn is, well, also, I am a Scorpio, I love evil.
19:05 So, if Dawn's evil, then count me in.
19:07 - There we go.
19:08 - 'Cause we're drinking about it somewhere.
19:09 - Well, can't wait to see how this all plays out
19:12 on the season ahead.
19:14 Plasma, thank you so much, this was a really fun interview.
19:16 It was, you were amazing, it was so much fun
19:19 talking with you and meeting you,
19:20 and I cannot wait to see what you do on the season.
19:22 - Hold on to your hats, girls.
19:23 - I'm holding, holding.
19:24 - Oh my God, I also think I am the hat girl of the show.
19:26 This season.
19:27 - A new title, okay.
19:28 - The hat girl, I'm in the--
19:29 - The hat girl.
19:30 - Girl of the Avenue, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's me.
19:32 (laughs)
19:33 - The hat girl.
19:34 - Thank you so much for having me.
19:34 - From one hat girl to another.
19:37 Stay tuned for more with the cast of
19:38 RuPaul's Drag Race season 16.
19:40 - Mwah.
