'If I had been a well-adjusted, popular kid at school, there's no way I'd be a drag queen now.'

Crystal, one of RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K.’s inaugural queens, is a 180-degree turn from the last Canadian RuGirl to grace our screens. While Brooke Lynn Hytes, who came in second on the American version’s eleventh season was a pageant queen, Crystal has described herself as “not afraid to look a bit messy or ugly or scary.” Her look is East London grit — punctuated with pops of chest hair or angle grinding, occasionally suspended from the air.

It wouldn’t have happened otherwise for sure. If I had been a well-adjusted, popular kid at school, there’s no way I’d be a drag queen now.I’d been in the UK for about five years before I really did any drag, but I had run alt- and new burlesque nights when I lived in Montreal. That was back when burlesque was the thing before the drag revival, but I didn’t really do those in drag — it was stripping basically.

There are designers that I really like to pull from as well. It’s always really fun to look at Jean Paul Gaultier or Mugler — people who have the same kinds of reference points that I do.
