Perla is a well known drag queen here in Calgary. Not only has both Paul and Perla made Avenue Calgary’s Best Dressed list but Perla is also one of the first drag queens in Canada to be signed by a modelling agency.  For this conversation I brought on one of my best friends Tyler Logan to help me navigate the topic of drag and co-host this episode.

We covered many topics during this episode (I hope you can keep up with our banter!) including:

• sources of Perla’s inspiration 
• some of her proudest accomplishments so far
• gender norms 
• dating as a drag queen
• similarities / differences between Paul and Perla
• drag houses and mothers
• Perla opened up about her sobriety and the effect it has had on her inspiration / performances 
• why she dropped her second name of Coddington
• I asked Perla what she wishes everyone knew about drag

And that is not all of it - check out the episode  to hear more!
