Pasty for RuPaul's Drag Race UK S7 / BBC
Age: 30
Hometown: Cornwall
Introduce yourself!
“Hello, my lovelies. My name is PASTY as in the savoury treat – not Patsy, and not Paste-y. I’m 30 years old, I was originally baked in Cornwall, but now I’m selling myself all over the streets of East London darling!”
How long have you been doing drag?
“I really wanted to do drag because I grew up watching Mrs. Doubtfire and Hocus Pocus. I’d say that my drag personality was ready to burst out from a very young age. I loved Hocus Pocus’ lead witch, Winifred Sanderson, so much that when I was a little kid, I used to put clothes pegs on my fingers to act out my very own Winifred fantasy. So, I think that’s my drag origin story!”
What is a Pasty show like?
“If you come to a Pasty show, you’re gonna have fun. I love to do themed shows. I once did a Tracy Beaker one with my friends and we took that on tour. I also did another tour called ‘Chicken Hun’!”
Why do you deserve to win the crown?
“It’s the silly sausage roll season baby, and I’m ready to bring it home for Cornwall. Imagine a crown on top of a pasty, that’s literally amazing – as long as you don’t take a bite because it might crack your tooth!”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns next month on BBC Three and iPlayer.
