Hi, I'm Lad Boom Boom of Canada's
Drag Race season 3 and welcome
to Xtra Magazine "After The
Sashay."
Lady Boom Boom, thank
you for joining me.
Look at you today.
You are full French femme fatale.
How dare you with that outfit?
R.I.P.
But it was an incredible run.
I really enjoyed you on the show.
I thought you brought the fashion,
you brought the art, and you were
just an exquisite competitor.
You said this week that the
drama was "a little high school"
for you.
Did things get a little too dramatic
in the workroom for your taste?
Yeah. Honestly, you have to
understand at this point that, like,
we're shooting all day long, so
we're in drag, like, from morning
to, like, late night.
And it was around like, I think
midnight.
And the only thing that was keeping
us away from taking off our garment
and our makeup off was
Fiercalacious.
And I really wanted to go sleep at
the hotel.
So yeah, I shut it down real
quick.
If complaining was a talent,
you'd finally be talented.
You have got a degree in fashion
design.
I want to know which of your season
three sisters has the best fashion
sense.
I was very impressed about Giselle's
looks, but like Giselle
is like such an anxious person
that like looking
at her garment, she was already
like she told me that she
got some stuff from the designer,
but she had she had to have
some more stuff.
And so I feel like her
wardrobe was pretty complete.
Yeah.
And I saw some of the look that are
coming up and muaw.
Now, you are gender fluid.
I want to know, how has your
practice as a drag artist informed
your own understanding of your own
gender?
And when I first started, I
had like two specific
wardrobe, one for me and
like one for once I'm in
drag.
But now everything like kind
of shift and
I just wear what I want when I, I
want to in it actually make
me feel more powerful just being
able to express myself
because like even when I was very
shy in high school, the best thing
for me like to communicate with
others was, were through my look.
So, you know, becoming [a] drag
queen really helped my fashion
sense.
Now for the Snatch Game, you did
a Canadian drag icon
for those who don't know.
Tell them a little bit about
who Mado is.
Mado is actually the proud owner of
Cabaret Mado in Montreal.
She's like a drag pioneer
here in Montreal and in Quebec.
In fact.
I loved seeing that
there was some drag history and some
reverence for the drag that came
before what we see today in
the age of RuPaul's Drag Race,
that you brought some of that in
and that look was perfection.
It was giving old school Canadian
drag.
Yeah, the look was everything.
The performance not so much.
But yeah I love, like, to pay homage
to the drag queens that came before
us.
Like, for example, in the episode
number two, when I was wearing the
big brown gown
and this was made
by an older drag queen
and she's now
like quitting drag.
But I actually went to her apartment
and bought a lot of stuff from her
and this gorgeous piece,
like, I didn't care how much it
was. I was like, "I need to leave
with this in my bag." And
I did. And like, it's
nice to, to have a new
stuff made and to make new costume,
but like one of the older
costumes, when they're very,
like, well-made, they'll last
forever. And this one is just like,
I love it.
We have seen fashion design,
we've seen runway modeling.
What is coming up next for you?
Is there big fashion in your future?
Watch me on Instagram and hopefully
I'll be performing in a city near
you. Like I just were
talking to my manager yesterday
and he was talking to me about,
like, doing something maybe in New
York City, things like that.
So, yeah, I'm very excited.
All right. Well, wonderful.
I can't wait to see you on the
stage.

The Sashay." Make sure to tune
