First of all: why drag?
Gender roles are a bitch. For a while I thought I might be trans, but after some soul searching in a secluded temple far far away in the Himalayas, I came to the conclusion that I have two halves: A masculine side and a feminine side. Drag is an outlet for me to really get to express my femininity without having to give up my masculinity.
As an artist and a designer, what would you say your strengths are?
I take critique very well. There’s a fine line between being constructive and being destructive, and over the years I’ve learned when someone is attacking me vs. when someone is trying to help me. I pay attention to what other people have to say about my art and use it to keep growing.
How about weaknesses?
My biggest weakness is my tendency to rush through my work, often leaving mistakes unchecked. However, it’s something I’ve been working on and I think it’s paying off rather nicely!
Which past MPAR challenge would you have won?
Sexy. Slippery. Sea. Slugs. Nobody does oceanic living booger quite like I do.
What challenge are you hoping for on Season 3?
Something where the judges provide us with items that they’ve drawn (i.e. A garden hose, A stuffed animal, party streamers etc) and we have to incorporate the items we received into our runway looks. Think RPDR Drag on a Dime!
What’s your signature look?
Fantasy with a modern high fashion twist. Why should drag be a drag? I wanna excite people and give them something new each and every week. Just like my ex boyfriend did to me last year! That reminds me; I have to take my chlamydia pills brb.
Do pineapples belong on pizza?
Is this a metaphor? Am I the pineapple? Is the pizza Season 3? All jokes aside, yes. Absolutely. And anyone who disagrees can meet me in the parking lot of the nearest Domino’s.
Why do you think you will win MPAR?
I’m bringing passion, energy, commitment, and an open mind to this bitch. I’m here because I fully want to be here, and to grow as an artist. I’ve got something to prove, that’s why I’ll win.
Is there anything else that you want viewers to know?
Listen up. If you gave it your all, if you fought tooth and nail and the world still crashes down on you, you can rest peacefully because hey...Elise Utried. XOXO Keep going on and keep going strong.
