Hi, I'm Miss Moço from
"Canada's Drag Race" Season Three
and you are watching Xtra Magazine's
"After The Sashay."
Miss Moço, I saw you last night
at the Gladstone Hotel and you got
this rapturous standing ovation.
What was it like during the night of
your elimination to bask in all of
that love?
I mean, I did plan
being at Gladstone for
that episode because it is
my home place in the city
and I knew I would feel
the love just being there
and can't really prepare
for the response.
And honestly I don't
recall what was happening
further from that little laptop in
front of me that I was watching the
show on. I was just like,
"It's done, it's over."
And Fierce next to me she was like,
"Stand up, girl stand up." I'm like,
"Oh, s***, hi,
thank you."
Well, I'm here to remind you
that that audience was absolutely
living for you.
The room was just so full
of love for you, and
you deserved it.
Thank you. And thanks for coming.
So you said last night that
you are actually a bit of an
introvert and that came out when you
were on the show and that you were
ready to go when your elimination
happened.
Walk me through what was happening
on how you were feeling on set.
Yeah, I mean, getting on the show
was something I had
been looking forward to for all
three seasons, and I was so excited.
I knew I had what it
took to make it to the end.
Just based off of my drag and what I
do I just knew
I could do it.
And I got there and
didn't realize the
emotional toll that it
does take on you.
And I'm the kind of person who walks
into a room. I'm quiet, I observe,
I try to get my
bearings of my surroundings.
And you
walk into drag race and like, "Okay,
let's go, quick, quick, quick."
Pressure cooker did not have time
to sort those things out.
So
instead of like going,
okay, cool, I'm just going to jump
in, I just reverted back into myself
instead and it
made me really uncomfortable.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry to hear that
the filming experience wasn't
amazing, but I think
that the audience is going to fall
in love with you anyway.
Thank you. And not that the filming
experience was awful because
everyone around was so incredible
and so amazing and I felt safe
while I was on set.
It was more just an internal
struggle for me.
Now we are week two in a row
with Toronto in the bottom.
Tell me what the hell is going on
with Team Toronto this season?
It's like every season
there's too many Toronto girls,
there's not enough Toronto girls.
And then hopefully this will just
like settle. They'll be like, "Cool,
there's too many Toronto girls,
but at least they're all in the
bottom and are all going home." So
maybe we just like balanced
that argument scale and
moving forward, people will just
have enough of that.
But I don't know it is
what it is and
we're doing our thing, you know.
Now, you were up in that lip sync
against another Toronto girl,
Toronto's turn up queen, Jada Shada
Hudson, who is known for
turning lip syncs out.
Were you a little scared?
No, not knowing that was the song.
I was like, "We are on
even playing field with this
song because like, Jada can't turn
out the way she turns out
to a song to
that. And I know, like, it wasn't
the most high energy song, so I was
like, "Perfect, we can both kind of
just, like, bop around the stage
and give our emotion.
And I just knew even
though that is not a Jada song
to ever perform, I was like, "She's
got this in the bag.
I know she's going to do it."
[Music] "school, high school confidential."
Why didn't you want to be paired
with Miss Fiercalicious for the
challenge?
Who would you not want to be paired with?
[In unison] One, two, three, Fiercalicious.
I love her so much.
And she is an incredible person
and so kind, which you
saw at the show last night.
She was also there and
instantly she felt me kind of tense
up and just like grabbed
on to me, giving me a nice little,
"Hey, I'm here for you," hugging me.
So I do really love
her. Do I want to work with her in
that capacity?
Probably not, because
she's loud.
I'm not outspoken.
I choose my words.
So
heads would be butting.
So your Instagram, I have taken
a little scroll through and it has
more celebrities than the judging
table this season.
How did you get all these famous
friends?
They're just attracted to me, I
guess. I don't know.
I guess like the biggest Cate
Blanchett had come to my drag bench
a few years ago,
but then I was asked to surprise
her for a performance
at the wrap party for Mrs. America
that she was in town filming and
wardrobe had custom made me a
replica of her look from the show.
So as she was giving a speech, I
surprised her.
And then Sarah Paulson and Elizabeth
Banks and Rose Byrne were all there
as well, so I got to meet them all.
You also performed "A Little Bit
Alexis", from Schitt's Creek
in front of "Schitt's Creek's" own
Annie Murphy.
What was her reaction to that?
[Music] And a little bit. La la la
la la la la.
A little bit, Alexis.
She loved it.
I'm pretty sure I did a wig snatch.
We had bonded over it after
I tried to get her to come to the
village with me.
But she had other things to do.
She was just an absolute
sweetheart.
You have a reputation as an
entrepreneuress.
You've sold everything from
scrunchies to candles.
You founded your own drag pageant.
You're even part owner of a wine bar
and flower shop.
How did you get so good at
money, honey?
My mom was
an inspiration and always.
I've got two older brothers, and
just that growing up was always very
adamant about
you don't have debt.
Don't put yourself in debt
and be smart about
your choices.
So do I really need that?
Whatever thing over there?
No. I could probably save that and
put it towards something a little
more
important.
So she she really
instilled that
in me and and being mindful
with my spending.
You have quite the resume as well
as a model.
You're a bit of a supermodel.
You were starred in a roots
campaign. You modeled alongside
Coco Roche, a Canadian icon.
Are we going to see Miss Moço in
full drag on the runway anytime
soon?
I am just so impressed
with your
journalistic digging skills,
right now.
Yes, I did a Roots campaign
with my mom.
I think that was 2019.
And the shoot with Coco Roadshow was
I was modeling
in Asia.
I think we were in Singapore at that
time. And I was portraying
Andy Warhol in a shoot
and shout out Coco Rosa, Canadian
supermodel star.
But yeah, that would be
on my
vision board of modeling
specifically for like the Victoria
Beckham.
Is like where I would
like Victoria
if you're watching "After The
Sashay", sis, I'd love
to walk in your show.
As a business queen you are building
an empire.
For my last question, I want to know
what is the next building block
for you?
Well, I'm continuing with my
drag brunch at Gladstone House every
Sunday.
That is like the foundation of
my drag currently.
And I'll be off to Lisbon,
Portugal to host
my drag pageant that I created in
2017, Miss Drag Lisboa.
And then for everything
else, you'll have to tune in
