Episode 9: with 19 year old Drag Queen Faux Joli

19 year old Drag Queen Faux Joli is a regular performer at The George Nightclub in Dublin City as well as a fashion student in NCAD. This podcast is hilarious and has to be heard to be believed. I cannot even do Faux any justice in describing how incredible it is.

Faux started Drag as soon as she possibly could, a few days before her 18th birthday (as there's an 18+ age restriction in most drag venues) and has been developing her art ever since. She is widely regarded as one of the most promising young Drag Queens in the game, but this comes as no surprise when you hear of the creative thought, planning, sewing and choreography that is channeled into each and every one of her performance. Drag is her passion and her career.

Ms. Joli reveals her personal drag stories, from her first performance, perceptions from others, support from her family, attitude of other Queens and her drag mother. When I announced I was recording with Faux, her brother replied to my Instagram story story 'That's my little brother!...There are yellow feathers all over my house'.That's when I knew this one was going to be a special one.

I have an overwhelming respect for Drag, and what it represents. I really hope you all love this podcast.

Listen for some of the best laughs as well as an all round inspiring individual who is not afraid to speak their mind and reach for their dreams.
