“A couple of years ago, we viewed opportunities as ‘they’re doing us a favour, you’re so kind to let us perform’. We’re now getting to this point where we’re like ‘hold on a minute, we’re the ones who fill your whole club.’ …Those spaces are for us, and that’s it. We are the party.”   - Miss Velvetine   This week’s guest is Miss Velvetine, “the Purple Diamond”, a classic Mexican beauty with modern pop sensibilities who is here to rock your world and cumbia their way into your heart. She is a drag queen, singer, dancer, actor, comedian, and icon.    In this interview we talk about her experiences as a drag artist in Monterrey Nuevo León, how important it is to get paid for being the party, and how she created her new music genre, Dragteño!    Show Notes:  Follow Miss Velvetine on Instagram, and subscribe to her amazing YouTube channel!  La Más Draga, a drag reality competition show streamed on YouTube and based on the format of the show RuPaul's Drag Race, adapted to Mexican pop culture.
