Popping culture: Jinkx Monsoon dreams on

It’s no secret that I am a big fan of Jinkx Monsoon.

From her moments of narcolepsy to her killer performance as Little Edie on RuPaul’s Drag Race, this monsoon is leaving the competition drenched.

Jinkx is a force to be reckoned with, on and off the show. But she went beyond the call of duty recently at a performance in New York where she once again donned her kerchief as Edie and, in a brilliant mix of pop-culture references, sang “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Mis as Miss Edie.

Watch the bravura performance below, and listen to the crowd eat it up.

Sickening.
