On being grand marshal and the power of Pride Happy Pride month y’all! This has been such an interesting Pride. First off, I got to be one of the grand marshalls of the Pride parade this year, and it was awesome.
I was actually asked to be grand marshall last year in 2021, but because of freakin’ COVID it was more of a symbolic thing. This year, I got to sit in the back of a convertible with my name on the side of the car, just like I had always imagined it in my head.
As most of you know, I only have one shade of drag — ON! I don’t do half drag or a light mug. I am either all of the way in drag or not in drag at all.
Parade day, I was in full, hardcore drag — big hair, fully padded, corseted and with a completely beat mug. I was grand marshall, so I had to look good.
