Spooky yet beautiful

Backstage with Sharon Needles

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 winner Sharon Needles is spooky, beautiful and (not so) stupid. Xtra spoke with her backstage at Five Sixty on June 23, where she was performing at TFD’s Every Night Is Halloween Ball.

One thing about Sharon is certain — she may look dead, but her immaculate corpse is full of life.

Here is an excerpt from that interview. To read the full interview go to Blitz & Shitz’s June 24 blog.
