New York, London, Barcelona, Tokyo – “the dancing, whirling, desert drag queen,” as she calls herself, is everywhere, flying in for celebrity weddings, giant outdoor concerts and gay parties. “They were hot,” she says after performing at the packed Desilicious pride party in sweltering New York this year. “I have to make them more hot.”
