She was geeked to meet Ariana and we are geeked to meet her

The Knockturnal:  Where were you when you got the call for Season 15?

Marcia Marcia Marcia: Oh my god, I was on the subway in between 59th and 125th and I couldn’t answer the phone.  And I was like, ‘Oh my god this is it, it’s from California!’’  And my stop was not 125th, but I got out and found a little corner to call the number back.  And the finally answered me and told me.

 

The Knockturnal:  What was it like meeting Rupaul for the first time?

Marcia Marcia Marcia: Meeting Rupaul, you would think it would be scary.  But, he has a very welcoming presence. And of course, in true Drag Race fashion they scared us.  We were all just in the workroom doing whatever and we heard the ‘Hello, hello, hello!’  And it was truly a welcomed scare.  A welcome jumpscare.

 

The Knockturnal:  Ariana Grande was the celebrity guest judge for the premiere!  What was it like meeting her?  And was it giving Arianeeee or Ariankaaaa?

Marcia Marcia Marcia: First of all, Ariana Grande has been my favorite person on the planet since I was a child.  So meeting her was absolutely insane.  You know how they say every gay has a pop girl?  She is my pop girl.  It was completely unreal.  It was one of those things where it was like, I am definitely in the right place and the right time.  And I think she was giving Arianeeee.  She was very sweet.

 

The Knockturnal:  Describe your drag in 3 words.

 Marcia Marcia Marcia:  I would say demure, colorful, and pretty.

 

The Knockturnal:  Finish the sentence.  Season 15 is the season of __

Marcia Marcia Marcia: Season 15 is the season of the return to form.

 

The Knockturnal:  What’s your favorite lipsync number to perform?

Marcia Marcia Marcia: I have a mix that I do.  And it’s a bunch of songs about driving and a bunch of clips from Clueless.

 

The Knockturnal:  There’s a quote going viral right now that says ‘behind every gay person is a gayer, more evil gay person.  Who is that person for you and why is it Michelle Visage?

Marcia Marcia Marcia: It’s not Michelle Visage!  She is a sweetheart and I am here to dispel the rumors.  I would say that person would be Princess Poppy for me.  She Is just evil by nature.

 

The Knockturnal:  Pick 3 queens from your season for your dream blunt rotation.

Marcia Marcia Marcia: I am not a big smoker personally.  But, if I had to choose, it would be me, Loosey, Sasha, and Luxx.

Inspired by the iconic psychological horror of American Psycho, our first of three covers puts Naomi in a world where fashion meets fear.

As she steps into the DC Universe in Clayface, Ackie reflects on her unconventional career journey and the lessons that have kept her grounded. As she puts it, “I've learnt since then to hold things lightly.”

When Billy Porter makes an entrance, the look is never an afterthought, so it is only fitting that, as he steps into the world of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, he takes on the role of a Capitol stylist.

The Knockturnal sat down with Porter who opened up about bringing a little bite to the world of Panem, one snakeskin ensemble at a time.
