How did 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.800 you get into it? Where did you discover it? 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.240 So? I, well, was it? Actually? When I think about 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.760 this quite often, because you know, I've been doing drag 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.320 professionally now for about fifteen years, and I started in 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:51.040 Perth and but then I but I actually probably dabbled 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.400 when I was like a teenager in high school. I 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.159 went to an all boys Catholic school and we did 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.400 like a play. It was The Lord of the Rings 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.359 in fifteen minutes, okay, and I played Gladriel. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:04.400 Thank God? 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.240 So yeah, which hello? And I remember my mom and 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.800 I we went to an op shop and we bought 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.920 like this white nightgown and this like you know, blonde wig. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.200 And then I had these soccer balls that my dad 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.600 got from a Rod Stewart concert, because you know how 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.920 Rod Stewart kicks out soccer balls in the concert. Yeah, 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.800 my dad's got like a ton. My dad's a Rod 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.480 Stewart super fan, Like he used to write for the 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.440 Smile of magazine and stuff like it's wild. My dad 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.160 is camp. I love it. But anyway, I use these 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.880 soccer balls as my boobs. And so I was fifteen 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.720 and like I was, you know, dressing up and doing 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.040 I did Gladriel starring role. We'll look into the mirror, 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.960 what do you see? Like it was quite camp, you know. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.960 I was like I always wanted to eat Cate Blanchett. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:52.960 But then I dressed up with you know, a kid. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.839 I loved dressing up. I had a purple afro wig 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.160 and like little clip clop you know, those plastic two 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.680 dollars shop heels. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:00.680 Yeah, we called them. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.360 Yeah, yeah, we called them the clip clup shoes. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:03.880 Yeah. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.680 So I had them as a kid. So, you know, 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.400 I've always dabbled in the art of dressing up, but 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.080 I only just cemented it when I turned eighteen and 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.120 I started going out and sort of became friends with 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.120 a little gay that had just started doing drag. And 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.119 then when you become friends with someone that starts doing drag, 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.800 you become their bitch. And so I was carrying the 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.120 bags around. Yeah, yeah, carrying the I was the drag bitch. 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.359 So I was carrying their bags, and you know, coming 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.000 to all the shows and standing at the front of 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.760 any props come off, I'd be grabbing them and then 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.280 and their name was Ruby, and they were like, you 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.040 should give drag a go, and I was like, oh, nah, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.280 too gay for me, not for me. I don't really 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.080 want to do that. And she's like, no, but you 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.720 did theater and stuff like you would have fun. So 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.799 I said one night, I'll do it one night only 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.600 at the Court's Amateur Drag Night on a Wednesday night. Now, 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.120 was this in w I wa at the court in Perth. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.440 So I was like, all right, I'll do it one night. 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.000 So she put me into drag and went up there 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.960 and I did my first number.

But I did the number wear My Kiss 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:14.080 because I wanted to tell a guy that I liked him. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.520 And he was front row of the show. So when 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.520 it said where my Kiss, I went up and I 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:25.120 kissed him on the cheek. Yeah.

I just fell in love with 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.560 it and was kind of like and it's like an addiction, 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.520 to be honest. You know, you start like you buy 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.760 one thing and then you're buying make up, and then 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.760 you got two wigs and three wigs, and you know, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.960 it was all under my bed in a plastic tub. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:03.960 And then hiding there, or it. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.560 Was hiding there for a little bit. Yeah, just because 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.440 I was like, I didn't like, I didn't really know 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.360 how my parents would take it, and so they didn't care. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.360 I was a homo like that did not matter at all, 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.920 but they I thought the dragon might be pushing it 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.840 and anyway, kind of like the more I fell in 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.560 love with it and I started realizing there was ways 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.920 to make money out of it, I was like, oh, 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.920 maybe I want to do this like and explore it. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.200 So I spoke to my parents about it, and you know, 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.520 they said, we don't really understand it, but we'll give 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.280 you a year. If you maintain your retail job and 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.720 you're paying you know, paying your way, and you start 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.360 earning money from it, you know, we will support you. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.480 And I did it. In six months. I was working 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.600 and you know, started doing shows, and my mom and 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.920 dad really sort of understood it when they came and 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.400 soare a show, right, And so I invited them to 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.640 come along and then they're like, oh wow, this is 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.280 like we didn't get it, but now we at it 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.960 and we love it. And now you know, fifteen years on, 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.800 they will come to any show that they can. When 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.920 they're here. They love it. Yeah, my grandparents come along. 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.640 Yeah it's nice. I'm very very lucky, you know. I 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.120 know I'm in a rare camp that I have a 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:17.400 great supportive network. But yeah, I didn't tell my grandma 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.920 for a while. My grandma and my pop. I didn't 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.560 tell them because I didn't want to kill them, right, 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.760 and my mom and dad weren't sure how it was 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.480 going to go. And so just before I moved to Sydney, 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.040 and I'd been doing Dragon about four years, five years 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.200 by this point, and I was just about to move 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.880 to Sydney, and I told my Nan and I did 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.120 a little PowerPoint presentation on the computer with photos and 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.440 you know, so they could see it. And my Nan 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.400 the one thing she said that was negative was I 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:51.720 looked fat in address. Thanks Nan. She wasn't lying, but 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.960 it was that. And then she was just disappointed in 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.760 me because she wanted to come to the shows. I 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.280 deprived her of five years of being able to oh 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.600 you know, yeah, so it really made me think as well, Like, 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.160 you know, I always give people a chance, now, like 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.640 you never know how someone is going to react, and 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.679 the only way you can know that is if you 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.040 give them the chance. It might be negative and it 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.160 might not go the way you want it to, but 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:17.920 I would rather them have the decision. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.200 You know, people often surprise you, don't they do They 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.760 oft you make up your mind about what they're going 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:25.080 to do. 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.080 I like that that. I remember when we. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.680 Were living in the States, friends of ours would often 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.280 say friends of mine would often not invite me out 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:36.600 when they were going out to do. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:37.840 So, like, oh, you won't like it. 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.599 One day I picked up one of them, I'll go, 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.800 what's going on? Why don't you ask me? Oh, you 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.520 wouldn't like it.

Did Mom and Dad help you 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.199 come up with your stage name? Or was that all you? 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:12.800 That was all me? So it was well, actually it 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.800 was a drunk irish man. Have you been to Perth? 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.319 Yes, Cam spent a lot more time.

But there's the 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.000 Arts Precinct that runs in between and you have to 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.920 walk from the Court to Connections. It was the migration 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.719 every Wednesday night. You'd start at the amateur Dragon Night 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.200 and then you'd walk down to Connections for what was 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.160 happening on a Wednesday night. Then was the lesbian mud wrestling. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:52.880 Right, it was there too. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:57.200 Ah, the most iconic of it. I'm so devastated it's gone. 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.640 It was just all the incredible lesbians getting their kid 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.319 off and wrestling in pools of mud for money. Wild. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.760 I loved it. So you got So that was the migration. 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.840 And so before I did Drag, we were walking down 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.920 doing our regular Wednesday night migration and this drunk Irish 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:15.800 man just stumbled up to me. My friends, and he's 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.120 just like, you're an anaconda and I was like, what, 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.840 so confused, no context, just a very random comment, and 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.160 we all, being a little bit drunken eighteen, thought it 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.520 was really funny that night, so we just kept calling 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.559 me that. I kept calling me that for the whole night. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.360 And then when the idea of drag came around, I 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.040 was given the name Rosy Cheeks, but with an exit 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.080 the end. It just didn't feel right. That's yeah, it 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.600 is cute. And it came out the fact that I 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.400 got when I got drunk, I used to get rosas 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.920 in my cheeks, you know, so I'd have these big 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:48.720 rosy cheeks, and I was like, it feels a little 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.920 bit hurtful, to be honest. So I was like, why 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.520 can't I be like at a conduct like the guy 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.160 called me And they're like, oh, yeah, that's pretty good. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.000 There's no Anna, and I was like, actually, I don't 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.200 want to be Anna. I want to be Hannah because 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.400 I just I don't know, I just felt I don't know, 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.200 I just felt right, and it just stuck. And yeah, 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:06.800 I've been had a conda the whole time. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:07.760 Yeah, fantastic. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.800 Yeah, And does Hannah does Hannah's well Hannah's costumes because 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.320 clearly You're not in Hannah.

But then 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.559 as I got older, I just became this like blonde, 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.920 fairy princess kind of looking thing. I don't know, it's 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:47.560 the complete opposite.
