Flame On!

Drag Is The New Spandex returns after our All Stars Ru-Caps with a fresh new interview! Joining Oral and Pat is none other than... wait... what's her name again?? Oh that's right, it's her! Damn... we're still waiting... what was that? Oh... it's Ariel Italic from New York! If you watched/listened to our live show from New York City's Rockbar then you've heard this voice before, but we couldn't wait to sit down and have a one on one chat with this witty queen. She first came to our attention by writing RuPaul's Drag Race recaps for Queerty (under her boy name - Chris J. Kelly - go check them out, they're hysterical!), but we wanted to dig a little deeper and find out what makes this hilarious queen tick! From the Reddit Lip Synch For Your Life competition where we explore the birth of Ariel to what the future holds, it's all here in this episode of Drag is the New Spandex!Learn more about your ad choices.
