“I started doing drag as a therapeutic way of dealing with sadness because a broken heart left me blue… oh, and because I was getting college credit for it. I had gone to the head of Pace Performing Arts and complained about the absence of a drag major, being that drag is the hardest performance art there is. So, instead, they let me create an independent study called Iconography In Queer Performance<\/em>. It basically allowed me to get college credit for going to the clubs in drag ‘for research’. Through it, I constructed Mr. He- a play on mystery- hoping I\u2019d fit right in with my drag cisters the HausOfFemAnon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I told the head of PPA that I’d study my biggest inspirations and generate as much material as possible (via the club scene), using John Cameron Mitchell’s<\/strong><\/a> process of creating Hedwig<\/strong><\/a> as an example. Parker’s (my real name) biggest inspirations being Mickey Mouse, Santa Claus, and Jesus Christ…while Mr. He’s are Pee-wee Herman<\/strong>, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark<\/strong>, and anytime Lady Gaga<\/strong> publicly refers to herself as Joanne<\/em>.<\/p>\n

By the end of it, I was contacted by Susanne Bartsch<\/strong><\/a> for a party, accepted into the\u00a0Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics<\/a> to perform at the famous La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club<\/a>, had been approached by MTV for a project, and created a musical that would end up going on tour after I graduated called Urinal Hole.<\/em>\u00a0Long story short, it was the craziest 4 months of my life! Now, I use drag to focus on politics\/social issues as an attempt to make sense of things like the election, the Pulse shooting, and how Azealia Banks<\/strong> managed to kill so many chickens in her apartment for years without us knowing.<\/p>\n

Upcoming projects: I have a theatrical staged musical performance coming up in NYC…Down The Urinal Hole And Around The Corner<\/a>–\u00a0a revamp of the queer cult horror that we took on tour this past summer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
