Jinkx Monsoon teases new music and details how her iconic Judy impression came to be
The long-rumored winners’ season of Rupaul’s Drag Race All-Stars is finally gracing our screens. This season features the return of some of Drag Race’s most beloved alumni, and few moreso than Jinkx Monsoon, whose underdog storyline, “water off a duck’s back” optimism, and impeccable impression of Grey Gardens’ Little Edie charmed viewers on season five of the show.Now here she is competing again some nine years later, and if her newest Snatch Game performance is anything to go off of, she’s only grown in charm and wit.
We caught up with Jinkx about her performance so far, her upcoming music, and surviving the “Realness of Fortune” ball episode.In the inevitable Hollywood retelling of the story of Jinkx Monsoon, who would you have play you and why?I’ve thought this a few times… It depends on if it’s a drama or a comedy.
I think if it’s a drama, I would say Macaulay Culkin; he does some fantastic work with his character studies. If it’s a comedy, Kathy Griffin.
Or maybe Tilda Swinton! I’ve always loved Tilda Swinton as the enigmatic, androgynous, mythical being that she is. It all depends on the tone of the movie.Were there any crowned queens who you were excited to see who didn’t end up being cast?
