Following up on our Q&A highlights with Sharon Needles, Willam Belli, and Shangela, now it's Mimi's turn. Last week, Mimi opened the floor to questions in a series of 'Ask Me Anything' posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit! She dished some gossip, gave some great tips, dropped some fun facts, and even had some touching words of inspiration and encouragement! Here are some of the highlights:
As someone who has faced a harsher editing on the show, how do you feel towards fan reactions of other queens edited badly, such as phi phi O'Hara or Roxxxy Andrews? Are there some in the business that you think deserve the negative light they got on the show?
AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, SOME OF THOSE QUEENS WHO WERE EDITED POORLY ARE SOME OF THE NICEST PEOPLE. IT'S A TV SHOW - WE'RE PLAYING CHARACTERS. ON THE OTHER HAND, SOME OF THE "NICEST" QUEENS FROM THE SHOW ARE MONSTERS IN REAL LIFE!
How did you get into doing the Elimination Lunches with Michelle? What's that experience been like?
Logo asked me to do it. I love it. Michelle Visage is such a great person to have in my life.
Can we call you Mimi Imworst?
LOL sharon always calls me Mimi Imcursed.
How did you develop your queen persona? Is it close to your true personality?
They're Similar But Different. Branden is a lot more quiet than Mimi!
In your Episode of 'Queens of Drag: NYC' your family didn't seem very accepting/ understanding of your doing drag. Has that changed at all since then? I don't talk to my biological family much. Who's your favorite chick super hero? DA-DA-DA-DA-DAH Wonderwoman! |

When did you change your name from Jon Benet Ramsey?
There was an incident in the basement, and I felt it was best to distance myself.
Was India Ferrah Heavy?
No, but her breastplate was!
Fuck, Marry, Kill: Latrice, Jesus, a Biscuit
I'm not sure if you can fuck a biscuit or not.... But I'd kill Jesus, 'cause he'd just end up coming back to life!
Who would you have done for the Snatch Game if given the chance?
Liza Minelli, Lisa Lampanelli, Honey Boo Boo, Big Ang, and Marlee Matlin were some that I considered.
