ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Where were you really on Jan. 6?
MTV
Has being on the show impacted that area of your life, with your Republican family?
Plasma on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ season 16.MTV
Only in the sense that my relationships with my family have never been stronger or more empowered.
This week was your unfortunate elimination.
Im a performer, I do my best work on stage in front of people.
Plasma as Patti LuPone on ‘Drag Race’ Snatch Game.MTV
I remember walking that runway thinking, “Im glad I learned that song.”
Ive never been a person who can sew my way out of a situation.
Im still incredibly proud of what I made.
I thought it was different for me, it was very much a departure from typical Plasma.
I dissociated so I feel like I wasnt even there to see.
But, I have no doubt.
I was like, “Im going home.”
Are you prepared for when the fans say you got murdered in this lip-sync?
Is that an accurate assessment?
Oh my God, yeah.
I genuinely left nothing on the table.
I left nothing unexplored.
Lets go toSnatch Game.
Theater icon Patti LuPone!
Why, in the spirit of Miss Patti, did you not take the opportunity to snatch Mhiyas phone?
Well, Joey, the edit is not in my control.
In the spirit of Patti LuPone, you dont touch someone elses props.
Did that blow up any bigger?
Can I be shady?
I am proud of what I made.
Dawn, in my opinion, wasnt trying to come for me, she tried to encourage my versatility.
You stick to your bodysuit guns, girl, and you go for it, you go for gold.
Shes doing a phenomenal job making reality television.
… Shes a true talent; the worlds next bodysuit atelier!
What was your initial idea for this design challenge?
… Gothic isnt really my thing.
Im dropping it in conjunction with the episode.
… Im trying to reclaim this perception that I dont know what goth is.
