All About Eve Talks To The Queen Of All Drag Queens On Trans Rights, Stardom, And Her India Tour

Shahana Yasmin by Shahana Yasmin

If you’re a fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race, you will be familiar with Peppermint, who may not have won the ninth season, but definitely sashayed her way into our hearts. Originally from Delaware, Peppermint started performing drag in Manhattan nightclubs, and is the second openly trans contestant to have ever competed on RuPaul’s. Very aware of her visibility and responsibility as a transwoman and a drag performer, Peppermint is on a tour in India right now, and will be performing in Kitty Su in Mumbai on 27th March, Delhi on 28th March, and Bengaluru on 29th March.

Peppermint

All About Eve managed to catch up with her before she sets off on what definitely seems like an epic tour!

Q: Let’s start with, what drew you to drag?
A: My desperate need to express myself as a woman. It’s the strength, independence and freedom that Drag promised. That, and the sparkling dresses.

Q: How did you come up with the name Peppermint?
A: It’s actually my favorite candy!

Q: You identify as transgender, while drag, many believe, is a cisgender activity. How do you straddle these two worlds, and do you think that belief has any merit to it?
A: Yes, historically there is a basis for this. But drag, along with everything else, changes and evolves. Drag is brilliant and so much fun. Everyone is a fan and everyone wants to participate. I do believe drag is for everyone.

Peppermint

 

Q: It’s a great moment for transwomen right now, isn’t it? Amiyah Scott on Star, Laverne Cox on Orange Is the New Black, Hari Nef on You, Jamie Clayton on Sense8, and I’ve barely scratched the surface. Do you see your work as a drag performer affecting the ways in which trans women are viewed?
A: Absolutely! Visibility is so essential, it is the first of many steps. Seeing these women on camera will not only educate more people about trans women, but also inspire young trans women to feel more confident. Which is why when I got the opportunity to make history on Broadway, I was so excited to step up to the plate.

Q: Do you think that speaking on trans-issues is something of a responsibility for you?
A: It’s personally important to me to speak on trans issues but it’s not a burden. It’s a privilege for me to have a platform and I’m devoted to using it to affect positive Change.

Q: What did it feel like, to come out on a television show, in front of millions of viewers? What was the reaction to that like?
A: It felt great to talk about my transness to the other Queens. I didn’t know what to expect. I really wasn’t focused on the viewers. I’ve been out as a transwoman before the show since 2012, so I knew it would have a positive effect.

Repost from @hohmusical – Spoiler alert: Our oracle’s prophecy includes you buying a ticket to come see @Peppermint247 slay as Pythio in @HOHMusical. And you don’t wanna find out what happens when you don’t listen to Pythio…

A post shared by Miss Peppermint (@peppermint247) on Nov 3, 2018 at 10:06pm PDT

Q: On RuPaul’s, did you feel like you needed to separate yourself from the others as a transwoman, or not call any attention to it?
A: I wanted to prove to the other women that my Drag was worthy and as a queen I was competition enough.

Q: You’re going to be an inspiration to so many people, man and woman. Who served as an inspiration for you, while you were growing up?
A: My grandmother was a prime source of inspiration. She taught me about patience, fashion, sewing, cooking, and womanhood. There weren’t many queer or trans people in media who were offered as mainstream role models. That’s different now though.

Q: Now, onto makeup. What is your favourite makeup tip for all our readers?
A: Beauty blenders save lives and there are many to choose from now! But a decent makeup sponge with good absorption will do the trick too.

A little #TBT realness from my promo video for @RuPaulsDragRace #DragRace Season 9! You see that minty gig?! 🍬 So excited to see what this new batch of queens has in store for us! Who doesn’t love fresh meat? Tune in TONIGHT🌟 at 8/7c for the season premiere of #DragRace season 10 on @VH1​!! 🏁🏆 @logotv @wowreport

A post shared by Miss Peppermint (@peppermint247) on Mar 22, 2018 at 4:12pm PDT

 

Q: What’s it going to be like, to be at a live Peppermint show?
A: Come to Kitty Su to find out! Exciting fun, classy, never shady. Cause the number one queen is P-E-P-P-E-R, bitch! You know the rest!

Q: What’s next for you?
Working on new music!

We can’t wait for Peppermint’s show now, honestly, and with Keshav Suri, Executive Director of the Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, bringing in more and more such exciting performances and opportunities, what more could we ask for? “It is our privilege to host a remarkable performer like Peppermint. Kitty Su and The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group have always spoke for trans inclusion. Peppermint is a gutsy personality. It takes immense courage to accept your true self in front of the world, and they did it on stage set in front of millions. I admire her craft, and hope her presence encourages others to follow their heart,” he said when we asked him how he felt about her tour.

If there was any doubt as to why Kitty Su is such a favourite with so many people, this definitely clears it right up!

Having someone to share your life with is a blessing. And if that person is a sibling, the joy is multiplied. Growing up together, sharing things, being a shield in front of your parents–these are things only a sibling can do. But this loving relationship can turn into a nightmare if your sibling is a toxic person. We are conditioned to love our parents, siblings, and family from a young age, irrespective of how they treat us. But sometimes, they make it almost impossible to love them or even like them. And this is a valid feeling that stems from toxicity.

Here are some signs to watch out for that will help you identify if your sibling is toxic or not.

Got your eyes on a charming, dashing Leo and just can’t stop thinking about them? Well, you aren’t the only one, so get in line, darling! Because this fire sign has got everyone crushing on them, at least at first sight. They are enigmatic, flirty, hilarious, and know how to smooth talk like nobody else! So, if you are daydreaming about them, we would like to warn you to slow your roll. Here’s everything you need to know about dating a Leo before jumping into the fire.⁣

Rakshabandhan is all about family. Everyone gets together and the women of the family tie a rakhi on their brothers’ wrists. The brothers then give a gift to their sisters. The festival signifies a brother’s vow to protect his sister, hence the name of the occasion. But have you ever wondered why it’s always the men who vow to protect their sisters? It’s not like women don’t look out for each other or protect each other.

This year, on Rakshabandhan, acknowledge your sisters as well. If you don’t have a brother, or even if you do, celebrate this joyful festival with your sisters. After all, raksha isn’t gender-specific. Here are a few ideas to celebrate Rakhi with your sisters.

The long-awaited and unreasonably vilified Laal Singh Chaddha is finally out in theatres. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film, as we all know, stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, Manav Vij, and Chaitanya Akkineni who makes his Bollywood debut. This film has been trending for a while now–for good reasons and bad. Many people want to boycott this film and have been vicious towards it on social media. However, if you are left with a violent, angry thought in your mind after watching Laal Singh Chaddha, you’ve missed the whole point of the story. You might love it or hate it, but the one emotion that this film will not evoke in you is violence.
