In the typical Knockturnal style, we asked them all about their dream blunt rotation

The Knockturnal: What is the first thing you are going to buy with the prize money?

Nymphia Wind:  The first thing I am going to buy is an expensive stock so I can invest the money and get richer.

The Knockturnal: Pick three people from your cast for your dream blunt rotation.

Nymphia Wind:  I don’t really smoke but if I were to smoke with people?  I think I would do it with myself first.  In my room in a little corner and thinking about life.  No, I would do it with Mirage, Plane, and Xunami.

 

 

The Knockturnal: What would be the first thing you would buy if you won the prize money?

Sapphira Cristal:  Financial freedom.  I would buy all of my debt away.  My student loans gone.  I would pay off this really expensive package.  And then maybe a house.

The Knockturnal: And how many people did it take to pack all your runway outfits?

Sapphira Cristal:  Wouldn’t you like to know.  I don’t know, I wasn’t there.

The Knockturnal: Pick three people from your cast for your dream blunt rotation.

Sapphira Cristal:  I haven’t smoked in a while. I am actually 5 years sober.  But, if I were to smoke again, I would say Dawn, Xunami, and Mhi’ya.  Mhi’ya, I bet she could roll a good blunt

 

The Knockturnal: What would be the first thing you would buy if you won the prize money?

Plane Jane:  I would buy some furniture for this house.  I bought a new house so now it’s time to furnish it.  I would take out a second mortgage for another home.  I am obsessed.  I am really into houses and homes.  I really love to live in house.

The Knockturnal: Pick three people from your cast for your dream blunt rotation.

Plane Jane:  I would have to say Mirage because that bitch does smoke.  I guess Morphine because I think she would be funny high.  And then Nymphia because that bitch needs to calm the fuck down.

 

The Knockturnal: What would be the first thing you would buy if you won the prize money?

Megami:  Maybe a nice condo in Park Slope.  Or a down payment for a house.  And the New York real estate is dreadful now.

The Knockturnal: Pick three people from your cast for your dream blunt rotation.

Megami:  I don’t even need to dream about it.  It’s me, Amanda, and Xunami have already smoked together.  We are potheads.  Me, Amanda, and Dawn had a vacation before the season came out.  And we got incredibly high and watched each other’s audition tapes which was one of my favorite memories in my entire life.  Amanda Tori Meating needs to be cast for every single season of Drag Race.

 

The Knockturnal: What would be the first thing you would buy if you won the prize money?

Xunami Muse:  I would have split it.  I am the youngest of nine so I would split it amongst all my siblings.  And then I would have put a down payment on an apartment or something.

The Knockturnal: Pick three people from your cast for your dream blunt rotation.

Xunami Muse:  I mean I feel like I have had it already.  Definitely Q, Morphine, and Mhi’ya.  Those are my three girls.

Beginning their culinary story in a small kitchen Beginning their culinary story in a small kitchen in Croatia, the founders of Boogie Bakery & Bistro grew tired of watching consumers settle for subpar bread. They returned to the fundamentals of traditional breadmaking with just a few essential ingredients: water, flour, and salt.

What began as a simple commitment to better bread evolved into a larger culinary vision rooted in authenticity, craftsmanship, and a passion for thoughtfully made food.

Now, they’re bringing that same mission to the United States, introducing their foundational recipes and culinary philosophy to Washington Heights with the opening of Boogie Bakery & Bistro.
