You're one of the few queens I keep track of via YouTube. My favorite's of you hitting up Olive Garden with your pals on your birthday, in full drag no less.
We pick a different one every year. That one was outside of Pittsburgh. We do it every year because it's the most embarrassing place on the planet. Who doesn't love an Olive Garden?
Their bread sticks are the best.
I know! And when they say, "When you're here, you're family," we always look at the name tag of the waitress and say, "Hey Lolly, if you're family can you pick up the bill tonight? Cause if you're family, you're paying." [Laughs]
Throughout the season you kept expressing surprise at how far you had come in the competition. Are you owning the spotlight more now?
Well, yeah. It's so humbling to become famous that you don't want it go to head. But there are other times where you know that you deserve this attention, and you just have to soak it up. I go real back and forth with my opinion on fame. When I wasn't famous I loved to view fame, and now I'm famous I can't remember why I wanted it. Now it's so odd to me. It wasn't what I thought it was. It's a lot of hard work!
It also gives you this platform. What do you want to do with it?
I'm just happy to work. I don't want to get Gaga-fied. I don't want to have to make a product that's so deliberate about the message, because there never was a deliberate message with me. I just wanted to be a punk rock brat who made a mess and made people laugh, reminding us of how ridiculous and fun nightlife is. I never wanted to be a role model, and now I'm kind of in the position where young kids look up to me. They see something in me that I do not see in myself. It's a hard work, it's a responsibility, but it's a pleasure to do it.
