Sharon Needles in Toronto this weekend

New album, PG-13, riding high on the charts

Sharon Needles is riding a wave of success into Toronto this weekend as her album, PG-13, continues to rocket up the charts (presently number four on the iTunes pop chart). She will be a special guest at Fit, at fly nightclub, on Saturday, Feb 2.

“You know, it’s like a dream; you can’t really tell the time,” she recently told Fab magazine’s Darryl Mabey.

She debuted on Season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race about a year ago and she hasn’t stopped since.

Xtra chatted with Needles in Vancouver a few months ago as her star was starting to rise. Below is the video interview and clips from her show.
