- Do dogs do drag?

I mean they can.

You can dress a dog up in a dress

and take him onstage with you.

(crew clapping) - Good job!

You're a great singer.

- Do you wear different clothes instead of this every show?

- I do, I have lots of different drag clothes.

- Like blue green, green, and yellow, and every color.

- I wear every color of the whole rainbow.

- Purple?

- Uh huh.

- How many performances have you been in?

- Oh man, I don't even know, I've been doing drag

for nine years, and all sorts of things.

- Isabella, do they laugh sometimes?

- The audience?

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah the audience laughs all the time, that's the job.

- Are your eyelashes real or fake?

- Oh, they're definitely fake.

I glued them onto my eye.

- Ugh, glued?

- [Isabella] Yeah.

- What about the gems over there?

- I glued those on too.

- What about lipstick?

- The lipstick I just painted on.

- Paint?

- Yeah and then I tapped glitter into it.

- Glitter?

- [Isabella] Yeah glitter! (laughs)

- What's under your wig?

- Oh my real hair's under my wig.

And my real hair is like shaved short on the sides

and then it's kinda long on top

and it's dyed blue. - I think I kind of see.

- You can kind of see it right there?

- Yeah.

- Just a little bit?

What do you think, do you like it though?

- Yeah.

- Would you wanna wear a wig sometime?

- I tried one before. - No.

- [Isabella] You've worn a wig before?

- Yeah. For Halloween. - What did it look like?

- It's straight down purple.

- Purple, I have a purple wig.

- Isabella, are you a girl?

- I'm not, I'm a boy.

What do you think about that?

Do you think it's okay for a boy to wear clothes like this?

- Yeah, like girls.

- Yeah, it's cool for a boy to wear girls' clothes?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Did you know that I was a boy?

- Uh, no.

- [Isabella] You thought I was a girl?

- Yes.

- Yeah?

- I thought you was a boy.

- [Isabella] How come?

- Cause of the voice.

- [Isabella] Cause of my voice? Cause I have a deep voice?

- Yeah, like a boy.

- [Isabella] Yeah.

- Do you always dress up as a girl?

- Not always, only when I'm performing.

I usually live most of my life in jeans, and a t-shirt,

and a backwards ball cap.

- That's really cool.

So you're gay?

- I am.

Good question! (laughs)

- Did you curl your eyelashes?

- I did. I used an eyelash curler.

But your previous question, I am gay.

I came out of the closet when I was 21 years old.

- What's coming out of a closet mean?

- Coming out of the closet means when you tell everybody

that you're gay.

It's something that gay people have to do.

- We can also do that we can go out and

when people open the door we can surprise them.

- Yeah.

It can be kinda like a surprise.

- That's what I thought about coming out of the closet.

- Yeah, just jump out of that closet as a surprise.

- Yeah, I like freaking her out.

- Do you have friends?

- I do have friends.

- How many?

- Oh I don't even know I have a lot of friends.

I know a lot of people. - Do you have one hundred?

- Probably.

- Two thousand?

- Probably.

(Kristen gasps)

- If you weren't doing drag what would you be doing?

- Well I have a Master's degree in chemistry.

And I used to be a chemist for a skincare company,

so I'd probably still be working in a chemistry lab.

- You wanted to be a scientist?

- I went to school for science and I thought

I wanted to be a scientist, and then

I figured out that I wanted to be a drag queen.

- Isabella?

- [Isabella] Yeah?

- Do you have a show today?

- I don't have a show after this today,

but I have a rehearsal for a show, so I have to go practice.

- Okay.

- [Isabella] Yeah.

- What would my drag name be?

- A good drag name for you would be...

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Sparkle Pony.

(Crystal laughing) (crew clapping)

Give a pose. - What would be my name?

- Now we gotta figure out your name.

The one and only, Little Sparkle Cute Pie.

- (laughing) Yeah!

- And Isabella Extynn.

(crew laughing)

- It was good to meet you.

- Bye Isabella. - Bye Isabella.

- So good to meet you.

- Really tall.

- Yeah?

- 11

- 11?

- Uh huh.

- Wow you are really tall. - I am really tall, huh.

- [Kristen] My dad might be that size.

- You think your dad's this tall?

- [Kristen] Uh huh.

- Is your dad this tall?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

- I'm half your size.

- Yeah.

- Bye. - Bye.

- See you. It was good to meet you guys.
