There’s a “bold, in-your-face” aspect to Monet X Change’s drag that keeps her on the map as one of New York City’s rising queens.
“I know I work it,” Monet, 27, says. “I like looking very urban chic and giving you that New York City vibe, and I’m still holding onto a big part of me, which is my blackness and I love it.”
The Bronx queen, who says she can often be found pairing dreads or braids with an African print, is one of three New York City contestants left in the running of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 10.
