She’s meaner in real life.
I didn’t think she was that mean.
That was regular!”
Regardless, Kori is poised to carve a lane for herself on the season ahead.
“Now its like, I grew up watchingDrag Race, and now Im onDrag Race.
Were doing what we wouldve wanted to see on TV, and thats what youre going to get.”
For me, the drag is more the uniform that you push the social media content through.
I act the same way I do in and out of drag.
“I love big drag, I love big, big, clownery.
I want a big wig, big boobs, big pads, I want clown.
For me, if youre going to do drag, be a clown.”
RuPaul’s Drag Raceseason 17 airs Fridays at 8 p.m. onMTV.
