MANILA LUZON

There's a difference between being a drag queen on TV where the masses can tune in and watch, and then at a nightclub where you have to be a certain age to get in. There's a different decorum. We're all trying to push boundaries, but also trying to stay in our lane.

I live in N.Y.C.; Latin queens are sick'ning!

Drag allows people to celebrate their individuality, together.

I've been a Latrice Royale fan since the beginning of time.

Everyone wants to root for the underdog.

Before, gay portrayals in the media were so limiting, like a caricature of a homo. A parody almost.

I'm inspired by my surroundings. That's why I create dresses or videos around simple everyday things! I also love playing with nostalgic things from my childhood like cartoons. I like my art to trigger some sort of memory from my viewers, something they can relate to.

Sometimes I feel like there's a little bit of woman deep down inside of me, that when I put on the drag, she's able to come out.

I've started a line of Manila dolls and they're all going to be wearing my favourite outfits - the spaghetti and meatballs one is the first one, I'm really excited.

I always get nervous when performing. Always!

My parents made me take piano lessons from 1st grade to when I graduated from high school, and music never came to me as naturally as my other more visual artistic talents.

I don't think being Latin queen is a disadvantage.

I had no idea I would be able to have a career in drag that's lasted this long, at the level that I get to do it at.

My music video for 'Go Fish' is really fun. Just like the card game, if you're dealt a crappy hand, play it the best you can and you can always pick another card and try again. It's my little message.

My first real memory of makeup was when I was a teenager and I kind of had some acne issues and I wondered why it was OK for girls to wear foundation but boys weren't allowed to wear makeup.

I just welcome all the support. And take all the help you can get.

I'm a really big fan of Monique Heart. I always think she has some really creative ideas.

I have a lot of female fans, and I feel like in this day and age, as a drag queen who is a female impersonator, I need to show my love and respect to all those female fans out there, especially my young ones who are learning about how to love themselves and love who they are in every way.

I have a background in graphic design and have been designing t-shirt graphics for years.

If you don't clap for Todrick Hall, guess what Mary, you're a homophobe.

Antoine and Sahara Davenport were really able to help me learn about drag. We really fed off each other. Together, we just clicked. We were both part of 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' so we both got to go through this experience together.

RuPaul's Drag Race' is my favorite TV show.

Working Holiday' goes out to those earning their pay and a half: from retail employees at the mall and the kids selling popcorn at the movies, to the waiters at Chinese restaurants!

Christmas Queens' is a family effort!

Musically, I'm always inspired by the legends like Barbra Streisand.
