Whether she\u2019s serving chaotic glamour on screen in Big Easy Queens<\/strong><\/em> or geeky charm offstage, RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/a><\/em> standout Suzie Toot<\/a> is nothing if not unforgettable. <\/p>\n In this edition of the Socialite Seven<\/a>, the quick-witted queen opens up about her biggest creative influences, her gamer fandom, and the one superpower that would take her drag global \u2013 literally. <\/p>\n With equal parts sincerity and sass, Suzie dishes on her dream collaborators, guilty pleasures, and the life-saving advice she got from Kylie Sonique Love<\/a>. Buckle up, Tooters, this is Suzie at her most candid.<\/p>\n\n Who\u2019s your biggest influence?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ooh. Oh, my biggest influence. I\u2019m going to say, because we already talked about Varla [Jean Merman], I\u2019m going to say Charles Busch<\/a>. That is an actor who has created a character, an actor and writer. The fact that Charles Busch didn\u2019t see themselves in roles and wrote the most amazing, craziest shit that he could come up with to put himself in and throw on a wig, it\u2019s amazing.<\/p>\n Who would you love to collaborate with?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Who would I love to collaborate with? Speaking of Oh, Mary!,<\/em> Cole Escola. I think their mind is so brilliant. And I would love to see all like the, the collaborations with Amy Sedaris and Cole. I\u2019d love to see where Suzie Toot could fit into the Escola universe.<\/p>\n Who would your fans be surprised to learn that you\u2019re a fan of?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Oh, that\u2019s funny. I\u2019m a huge like YouTube gamer nerd. There\u2019s a YouTube channel called DougDoug<\/a> that is exclusively video games, like Twitch. And, you know, content like that that I\u2019m a deep fan of, it\u2019s my most-watched YouTube channel. I don\u2019t know how much crossover there is with fans and DougDoug.<\/p>\n\n What are three things that you can\u2019t live without?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Chicken tenders, French fries, and an ice-cold Dr. Pepper.<\/p>\n If you could wake up with a superpower or talent that you don\u2019t already possess, what would you want it to be?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ooh. Okay. I mean the concept of teleporting, the idea of not having to step on a plane ever again in my life is very tempting to just be there. I would have a Suzie Toot world tour. No problem.<\/p>\n What are you most grateful for?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Hmm. That\u2019s crazy. I am the most grateful for being seen, having my art seen and really heard by the fans, by the Tooters, because Drag Race<\/em> is not a guaranteed ticket to anything. So, the fact that I went on, that I took that step and the step beyond that and that people really saw and heard it is something that I\u2019m so grateful for.<\/p>\n\n What is the best piece of advice you\u2019ve been given?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ooh this is very practical, but Kylie Sonique Love \u2013 icon and All Stars winner told me to always keep a wig, my makeup, and at least one outfit in my carry-on so that no matter what the checked luggage has going on, I will have at least one outfit and it has already saved my life. So that\u2019s the best thing advice I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n If you missed it, check out our interview with Suzie Toot<\/a> in which she talks all things Big Easy Queens and all things movie magic, what it means to represent drag on screen, and her post-Drag Race projects and aspirations.<\/p>\n Check out Big Easy Queens on <\/em><\/strong>Hulu<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and peep behind-the-scenes photos and more on <\/em><\/strong>Instagram<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.
