Jinkx Monsoon debuts Drag Becomes Him Episode 5

If you haven’t noticed by now, pretty much everything that has happened in the past 24 hours has been . . . well, just awful. Terrible even. It’s been the kind of news day that makes you want to lock the doors, close the curtains and “NOPE!” your way on over to the sofa so that you can do nothing forever.

So fuck it: let’s try to squeeze some levity into this crap day, shall we? Jinkx Monsoon and Alex Berry have released a new episode of their YouTube mini-series, Drag Becomes Him, which details Monsoon’s rise from Seattle’s underground art darling to America’s Next Drag Superstar. The latest episode documents Jinkx’s life following her crowning, so if you’ve got a half hour to spare, give it a look.
