Of all of the eliminations so far in this season on RuPaul’s Drag Race, there is none more talked about than last week’s, where Florida queen Mia Starr was defeated in the lip sync (to the Go-Go’s “Head Over Heels”) by Kenya Pleaser and had to sashay away.
One of our many Sunshine State queens (and talent show winners) proves that while she may not be in the competition anymore, she is here to stay (and slay) in the drag scene. Mia joined Michelle Visage on Whatcha Packin’? and talked about life in Florida (she recently bought a house in Port St. Lucie, which is just north of Palm Beach…I know because I lived there for many years), her career as a dancer (performing alongside divas like Britney Spears and Rihanna) and her relationship with her fellow Florida queen Athena Dion.
She also reveals which singer she blew off to compete on the show, her questionable Snatch Game choice, and her talent show victory. As always, we talk about some of her looks, including her entrance look made from jeans her late brother wore, her talent show outfit, and a Marco Marco outfit that gives “I am Groot” vibes.
Then, on Hello Hello Hello, Mia reveals to Onya Nurve that she was cast as an alternate for season 17 and revisits her audition tape for season 18, including some shady digs at some Drag Race alums. She also spills a little tea on her season 18 sisters and makes me proud to be from Florida. I am looking forward to the next chapter from this dancing queen.
