Buying a new bathing suit, of course! Where better to buy them than Diesel? I tried on so many that I really liked, and ended up taking home the ones I was sure would help crank up the Fahrenheit a couple...

How did you find your way into the wonderful world of drag? Wonderful? I started 17 years ago in New Orleans. I was doing a play in drag and it snowballed into my career. Who are your role models in comedy? The obvious ones: Joan Rivers and Don Rickles. Where did the name Bianca Del Rio come from? No fabulous story; a friend gave it to me. I needed a drag name, and they gave it to me....
It’s 2012 and long overdue for someone to smack pop music across the face and tell her to pull herself together.
