DRAGNIFICENT - ALEXIS MICHELLE INTERVIEW
/
North America’s favorite drag queens are bringing a much needed break to viewers, and glitz to people in desperate need of a life-changing makeover in the new series, Dragnificent!
Alexis Michelle is one of our most beloved Drag Queens who is bringing some much needed glitz to the lives of people desperate for a life-changing makeover in her new show Dragnificent on TLC.
The series will take viewers on a loud, outrageous and heartwarming ride as the queens help each person reveal the best version of themselves—inside and out. In each episode, the cast will help someone reimagine their appearance for a special day and reveal themselves as they have only dreamed, while taking viewers on a touching journey of their life and struggles to this point. Whether it be a bride who wants to feel beautiful walking down the aisle, an alumna who wants to strut her stuff at an upcoming high school reunion, or a woman coming to terms with her new body after losing a massive amount of weight, there is nothing our queens can’t tackle.
The Team of experts includes: Alexis Michelle is a makeup artist, specializing in weddings and special events; BeBe is an experienced event planner who can transform any room into a fantasy space; Jujubee, a fashion expert known for her dynamic and iconic looks, draws on her deep knowledge in drag couture and women’s fashion; and Thorgy Thor is a classically trained musician who knows how to get the party started.
One of the top five contestants from Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Alexis Michelle is a Drag Superstar who always shines onstage. Using her gift of hair and make-up, Alexis has glammed up hundreds of brides for their big day and even been dubbed “brides best friend” by multiple mother of the brides! When she is not glamming up women or touring the world, Alexis stays busy with her solo shows at Broadway’s living room, Feinstein’s/54 Below, and Club Cumming.
I spoke with Alexis Michelle via satellite from her home in New York about the new show, what she has learned from her mentor RuPaul and much more. Check out our interview below.
