Exclusive: RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Sharon Needles reveals what the show glosses over

The season 4 winner gets honest about the drag lifestyle.

Drag queens are becoming household names, and RuPaul merchandise is available at Primark. Season four winner Sharon Needles spoke exclusively to Digital Spy about whether there were any aspects of the culture that should stay underground.

“It's too late, nothing is staying underground,” she said. “The show has demonstrated the variety of drag from comedy to pageant to art to sloppy to club kid. Every form of drag has been represented on RuPaul's Drag Race . The cat is out of the bag.”

Discussing the backlash some queens have had following inappropriate jokes and comments, she continued: “I say let's be more honest. Let's show the little kiddies how much dick we're sucking and how much coke we're snorting. “RuPaul herself has the image of love yourself, and ask the universe for what you want but also there is a danger side to drag that is never represented. When we say a girl gets 'caught' in something unsavoury, I say let them know. Drag culture has always been about excess.”

She added: “Absolutely [the show glosses over that]. Maybe the world wouldn't benefit so much to have your idols and your icons glorify the filth of night life, but the fact is it's very true.”

Sharon, 37, continued: “My concept is drag queens are not a reflection of society, they are a fun house reflection of society where we bend, and twist and manipulate the anxieties we all feel. It's funny, as drag queens we are called a lot of things but we are never called misogynist and that's the closest thing you can call a drag queen because what fucking woman looks like this?”

Speaking about whether she’s ever felt the need to censor herself, the Halloween queen said: “I was raised on GG Allen, Divine, Elvira and Marilyn Manson. I was always more interested in those button pushing, transgressive artists and they made a lot of good money doing it.

“Unfortunately, although us drag queens are ruling the world we're still paid like D-list celebrities, which has its own faux misogyny and homophobia. This is a job, and if you're interested in the money I say censor the shit out of yourself. Alaska is a great example of that. Be soft, put the smile on, earn coins and make people happy.

“I like money but I love performance art and it goes hand in hand. I'm not the Titanic , I'm The Rocky Horror Picture Show . I'm not a blockbuster, I'm a cult classic. I think my strong but cult-like fanbase expects me to challenge norms.”

She added that she doesn’t consider herself a role model, saying: “I consider myself a supermodel but a role model is not something I asked for. If they find something inspiring that betters their life or brings them comfort to this dark world there's nothing wrong with that.”

Sharon is currently on tour with a number of other RuPaul’s Drag Race fan favourites, including Bob The Drag Queen and Asia O’Hara for the Christmas Queens tour.

“Christmas Queens is a conundrum and slightly oxymoronic in a way because you have these filthy-mouthed glamazons spreading holiday cheer,” she said. “What's even stranger for me is me, America's most loved satanic drag queen and the queen of Halloween, to do this. But the reaction has been great and we love doing it.

“I like it because Halloween for me is 365, all my work is in the horror and gore genre so Christmas to me is almost more like Halloween than Halloween because I get to dress up in all these warm, glittery, holiday colours, blonde hair, soft make up so the fans get to see a stranger side to Sharon.

"I love all the colours in the crayon box, I just happen to use the black crayon more.”

Tickets for Christmas Queens are available here . Sharon Needles third album Battleaxe is also available to buy on iTunes .

Sharon Needles: 30 Things About My Pittsburgh

Let's go back to where it all started for Sharon Needles—That artist-nurturing womb of a city where the current winner of RuPaul's Drag Race came from—Pittsburgh! Find out where Miss Needles got her start, enjoys a good green smoke, shops (it's not Party City) and what she really thinks about that gay ol' show that once thrust the Western Pennsylvania town into the big pink spotlight— Queer as Folk . Pittsburg is the gay little steel mill town that just keeps on giving so let Miss Sharon Needles take you on a tour. Just mind the shade.

1—Are you still living in Pittsburgh?

Duh, of course I still live in Pittsburgh. In my opinion, Pittsburgh is the filthiest kept secret. It's poor, dilapidated, and rough around the edges, just like me. Due to my recent success, of course I've upgraded my living situation. But I did live for 7 years on Carroll Street in the heart of Bloomfield, a mixture between Willamsburg, Brooklyn and Hell.

2—Describe Pittsburgh in 3 words.

Rusty, dusty, and musty.

3—Tell us your most "Pittsburgh" story - like what's something that happened to you in Pittsburgh that probably wouldn't have happened anywhere else?

Like a true Pittsburgher, I don’t remember anything past 8:00pm. We are the City of Champions, and by champions, I mean alcoholics.

4—Can you tell us your Pittsburgh "musts" for visitors?

Primanti Brothers —The world famous sandwich shop. Where else can you get cole slaw and French fries on your sandwich? It’s a Pittsburgh thing, get into it.

Kennywood Amusement Park —One of America’s oldest amusement parks. Where else can you get called a f****t ten times before being able to ride the Thunderbolt wooden roller coaster?

Mt. Washington —Smoke a joint and enjoy the view, no one else has a better view of their downtown skyline.

5—Can you give us a few Pittsburgh "AVOID AT ALL COSTS" for visitors?

Station Square —Nothing but a collection of high end chain restaurants and bars catering to the worst of humanity. (i.e. frat dudes with tucked in shirts, and sorority sluts who spend their evening making sexy face phone cam photos with their girlfriends.)

The Oakland neighborhood —Though in it’s heyday, it contained several underground punk haunts, it is now home to two of the largest universities in the nation. All of the establishments in that area cater to those under 25, who may have a good education but bad taste.

6—What should the traveler know before visiting Pittsburgh?

Study up on Yinzer vocabulary, “yinz” is you guys, “dahn” is down, and “bumbershoot” is umbrella. Also, never speak of Cleveland Ohio, because we are natural rivals. In fact, if you’re from Cleveland I suggest finding a new destination for your vacation. Lastly, purchasing any other ketchup besides Heinz is grounds for extermination. Touch the Hunts and prepare to die.

7—Which character on  Queer as Folk  was most you?

I may play stupid on TV, but I’m actually quite intelligent. I don’t spend the small amount of free time I have watching the most overrated primetime soap operas.  Queer as Folk  depicted Pittsburgh in the most unrealistic way. If you find 6-pack abs in Pittsburgh, call me.

8—Who is your favorite local celebrity?

Sharon Needles

9—Where in town would you place a statue of Sharon Needles?

10—Who is your favorite famous person from Pittsburgh?

Andy Warhol

11—Should the Warhol Museum be in Pittsburgh?

I selfishly say yes, but Warhol probably would have said no.

12—The restaurant you eat at the most is....

Thai Gourmet , the best Thai food with the worst décor. Remember, beautiful things come from ugly places, have you seen my mother?

13—The restaurant you wish you ate at the most is....

Home. I wish I could say I’m a decadent chef, but unfortunately Alaska and I use our kitchen as a second dressing room. We eat out every night. That’s supporting the American dream, supporting people from other countries making me dinner every night for the rest of our lives.

14—Your favorite cafe?

Pittsburgh has several independently owned cafes. Before RuPaul’s Drag Race , I spent 8 years being a barista at one. In my opinion, I find all cafes to be equally annoying. If I hear the word Latte one more time…

15—Your favorite dive bar?

My favorite bar is a dive bar. I’ve never been one to patron the big boom-boom gay clubs. I would say that the Brillobox is the best bar in Pittsburgh, a great mixture of gay, straight, high end, low class, good music, and even better art. And a staff that flirts with you, and means it.

16—Your favorite gay bar?

The Blue Moon—they were the first gay bar that gave me and other outsider drag queens a stage to do our art. It’s tragically decorated and always full of unsavory characters. If I could bottle the smell of The Blue Moon, I would, and I wouldn’t make a dime.

17—Your favorite straight bar?

Howlers, also known as Coyote Café , a great mix of punks, rockabilly chicks, and fall down drunk Yinzer locals. Don’t know what a Yinzer is? Look it up. Also, the prices are great, and the service is terrible, what more could you ask for?

18—Your favorite place to see live acts?

Gooski’s, a great punk rock shithole dive bar.  It’s also the best jukebox in the world, not one of those f****t touch screen monstrosities you see at your local gay bar. They harbor the best of local and national underground punk and rock n’ roll. Not for your average gay guy, but I suggest giving it a try. You will be amazed at what Lady Gaga is NOT doing.

19—Your favorite local band/musician?

I would never declare a Pittsburgh band or performing artist to be my favorite, but I will say that Helter Shelter, a Lawrenceville punk collective, puts on better shows in their living rooms than anything at the Carnegie in NYC ever will.

20—Your favorite place to shop?

I frequently shop at a little independent boutique in Pittsburgh known as Salvation Army.  From sequin gowns to vintage tees, they have it all. $100,000 later and I still have anxiety about buying anything over $70.

21—What's the best neighborhood to shop?

I can’t believe I’m saying this—Carson Street on South Side. It’s the original home of douchebaggery. There are more consecutive bars on Carson Street than anywhere else in the world. And for shopping, if you can’t find it on Carson Street, you won’t find it anywhere else in Pittsburgh. From costume shops, to fetish wear, to the universally needed H&M. It’s also the best place to witness a frat boy pissing on a street side.

22—Your favorite day trip from Pittsburgh?

Just Ducky Tours , it’s cheap, campy and completely leotarded.

23—What's the best neighborhood to go in drag during the day?

Shadyside—it’s Pittsburgh’s premiere GLBTQ mecca. Everyone is so PC in Shadyside that you almost feel cheated for not being called a fag.

24—Best place to escape Pittsburgh for the day is....

Fallingwater —It’s one of the best pieces of architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s 45 minutes outside of the city, tucked away in the beautiful natural foliage of the Appalachian Mountains.

25—Quirkiest thing about Pittsburgh is....

Our accent, which is considered Pittsburghese.

26—The most fun thing about Pittsburgh is....

The diversity of its neighborhoods. Though it’s a smaller city, it has a NYC feeling where each neighborhood has a piece of culture and ethnic background that makes the beautiful quilt known as Pittsburgh.

27—The most annoying thing about Pittsburgh is....

I love that Pittsburgh is a blue-collar town, but unfortunately in that culture, ignorance and prejudice still remain, so it isn’t uncommon to get razzed for the way you look or for who you are.  But if someone doesn’t make fun of my outfit at least once a day, I am doing something wrong.

28—The most unexpected thing about Pittsburgh is....

Our flourishing art scene. People may know Pittsburgh for The Mattress Factory Art Museum and Andy Warhol Museum , but it’s also hard to go into a neighborhood and not run into one of its independently owned art houses or collectives.

29—Which queen on RuPaul's Drag Race is the most "Pittsburgh"? Why?

Tammie Brown.  Unconventionally beautiful, creatively different, and the more disturbing she is, the more entertaining. Pittsburgh is a city who appreciates their underdogs, and I certainly appreciate Tammie Brown.

30—Anything we missed that you wanna say about your hometown?

Pittsburgh is the City of Champions. For anyone that questioned Sharon  Needles was going to win, clearly underestimated the power of southwestern Pennsylvania. We are the Hollywood of Blue-Collar America.

Visiting a new city is akin to going on a first date, it is something you will never forget. Many people imagine Moscow as just a bunch of sporadic landmarks: Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and GUM. There is so much more to this wonderful city than that and even though we only have a few hours, we will do all we can to show you everything we know and love about our capital in one fell swoop. We will take you on a journey through the ages, from centuries ago, right up to the modern day, soaking in the sights of this vast and bustling metropolis. Bright, luxurious and both ancient and modern at the same time, Moscow invites you on a date you’ll never forget!

On our sightseeing bus tour of the city, you will see:

• The wonderfully historic city centre and its unique museums, magnificent cathedrals, the exquisite Chambers of the Romanov Boyars and of course, the famous towering red brick walls of the Kremlin, The charming beauty of the Alexander Garden awaits the capital's guests - a lush green oasis in the midst of the glass and concrete clad metropolis, basking in the etherial aura emanating from the whitewashed stone walls of the restored Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world- renowned fairytale onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and other impressive monumental buildings such as the library built in Lenin's honour - the Russian State Library - and the State Duma.
• The Lubyanka KGB headquarters is notorious to members of older generations and although nowadays, the face of the secret police has changed dramatically, the looming enigmatic building on the waterfront maintains its aura of mystery, shrouded in a variety of murky rumours and dark myths. Then, there’s another of Moscow's main attractions - the marvellous Bolshoi Theatre, yew simply cant leave Moscow without taking in its breathtaking architecture. Engrained in the fabric of Russia's cultural heritage, virtuoso performers such as prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and pianist, composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff once stood centre stage of this vaunted institution.
• The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was constructed in the glory and honour of our heroes who defended our nation in the many crucial battles of the Great Patriotic War (WWII). This is a place that embodies a particularly acute and inextricable link between older ancf younger generations. Moving on to the Moscow International Business Centre, not dubbed ‘Moscow City' for nothing, a true glimpse of the future in the present. This incredible, rather jaw-dropping project in the capital has shown that Moscow has come to accept the age of the skyscraper. Finally, the stunning views from the observation deck at Sparrow Hills will leave professional and amateur photographers alike itching to capture them. How could one resist?

The most beautiful of all the world's cities - lady Moscow invites you out on a date!
