Love is in the air! New York’s premiere theatre queen and “RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/strong>” season nine contestant, Alexis Michelle<\/strong> joins Jonny McGovern<\/strong> for Hey Qween\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Gay celebration! <\/span><\/p>\n

Since her time on \u201cDrag Race\u201d Alexis has been basking in the glow of post-season fame and success. With hundreds of thousands of followers, a successful tour with her fellow queens and a one woman show at Feinstein’s\/54 Below<\/strong>, Alexis has embraced her new life in the spotlight and she is ready for all the opportunities coming her way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow that I\u2019ve exposed myself to the world, it\u2019s been such an interesting and exciting journey and now I\u2019m reflecting and going inward,\u201d she explains. \u201cAnd that\u2019s kind of the theme of my new show \u2018Alexis. I Am.<\/strong>\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, having an audience across the nation and around the world does have its drawbacks. As Alexis knows all too well, under the pressures of reality TV, a catty comment or badly timed tantrum can transform any contestant into the season\u2019s \u201cvillain.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTruthfully, what it was about was that I was frustrated with myself,\u201d Alexis says regarding her “basic dress” meltdown. \u201cBut that day more than any day I truly felt like not everything that I had done was shown on screen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout her time on the show, Alexis was faced with a bumpy fan reception and was often cited as a \u201cbitch,\u201d but as a number of Drag Race alums can attest to, time heals all wounds. With season 9 in the past and All Stars drawing the attention of everyone at the moment (plus, a pretty sick’ning Liza Minnelli<\/strong> impersonation), Alexis has found that the fans seem to have forgiven her and are embracing her for the qween she is.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When you’re thrust into this kind of position, things get complicated,” she says. “It’s not just one thing. It’s great, it’s hard, it’s exhausting, it’s fabulous, it’s thrilling, but you have to focus on the positive, that the opportunities I always wanted… they happened.”<\/p>\n
