The Texas diva takes the stage
The Knockturnal: I loved your Meet the Queens and from what my first question is what is it like being the skinniest queen on the season?
Mistress Isabelle Brooks: It’s kind of hard because people think we use our size to our advantage. And of course Michelle told me first episode to stop relying on that body. I mean it gets easier as time goes on.
The Knockturnal: Where were you when you got the call for Season 15?
Mistress Isabelle Brooks: So I actually wake up at 5pm. So I was asleep in my bed when they called me. So they were like, ‘Hello?’ and I was like, ‘What?’ because I don’t know anybody in LA so I already knew what this was about. So they expected me to be like, ‘OH MY GOD AHHH.’ But when they called me they were like, ‘Congratulations, you are going to be on Season 15 of Drag Race,’ and I was like, ‘Okay, I thought so. So when do we start?’
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?
Mistress Isabelle Brooks: It was definitely giving Ariankaaaa. I would have to say meeting Ariana Grande was amazing because she saw us as equals and saw our art. It was definitely a sight to see.
The Knockturnal: Describe your drag in 3 words.
Mistress Isabelle Brooks: Big, bold, and beautiful. I am from Houston, Texas and everything from Texas is bigger.
The Knockturnal: Finish the sentence. Season 15 is the season of __
Mistress Isabelle Brooks: Season 15 is the season of chaos.
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?
Mistress Isabelle Brooks: You know, Michelle is a big lesbian. Behind me is a girl name Malyasia Babydoll Foxx who copies everything I do. She wants to be me.
The Knockturnal: Pick 3 queens from your season for your dream blunt rotation.
Mistress Isabelle Brooks: I would have to go with Marcia, Loosey, and Robin because we all don’t do drugs so we would have to think of something to do.
