Gia Metric marched into the Werk Room on Canada’s Drag Race with the confident stride of a seasoned supermodel. Known for her fashion-forward looks, the Vancouver-based drag star actually is a model—she even walked the runway at New York Fashion Week. And she lived up to her reputation, serving high-fashion looks like her futuristic pop princess and her gender-bent homage to Austin Powers.

Though she narrowly missed out on top three, Gia had a stellar run on Canada’s Drag Race. Following her elimination in the lip sync, Gia joined Xtra’s After the Sashay to talk about mental health, reveal whether she ever re-followed Eve 6000 on social media and show off her secret talent for making animal noises.
