CNBC Make It: You had a comfortable and successful career. What drew you to drag?
I mean, this is somebody who I watched for years, and it's the truth — when you see somebody that you know and you've grown up with do something so miraculous, like get on this television show celebrating drag, you think,"I want in." So currently, I am eight years sober, one day at a time. And that is when it really started to make sense to me. The clarity was there that this persona, this drag art, is a business and we have to treat it like a business.As anyone knows, if you want to grow your income, you want to have multiple streams of income coming in. So I absolutely love to perform, of course. And then there's the merchandise that comes with that.
It really depends on your brand and how you want to put yourself forward. The sky's the limit. You can really go crazy.
