AND it’s my big cable television debut! Get your first look at the very first challenge of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 8 with all of the past crowned queens!

For the first challenge on tonight’s episode, the queens must stand out in a photo with all of the past winners of RuPaul’s Drag Race shot by the incomparable Mathu Andersen.

Since Bianca Del Rio couldn’t be there due to a scheduling conflict, Ru chose the next best thing… a rent-a-clown. But where to find a clown on such short notice?! Luckily, they couldn’t find one so they asked this clown! It was triple-top-secret and short notice. I had to shave my beard and once I was all done up in clown drag some of the past winners didn’t even realize it was me! Just as we were about to begin filming, the power in Hollywood went out! There we all were, painted for filth and no way to film, so we sat outside in circle and kiki’d until the power was restored. I haven’t shaved since! James St. James thinks it’s one of my best looks ever!
