And you did?
And so I love that you knew what your name would be as soon as you encountered it, which was a weed strain, right?
Love that. And so there was never another contender. You were like...
So tell me about the fishbowl performance.
So was that actually your first time performing as Alaska?
And so how did it feel?
And so then you decide to move to L.A.
But you decide at the time that you're not going to do drag there. You like pack your wigs and then you go through security at the airport. And then you take your wigs out because you're like, I'm not doing drag.
No, I got you.
Yeah. And well, thank God that you did. What a gift. So at some point you're like, okay, I'm doing drag for fun. Now I have to make money doing it. And I read that you sort of like looked around and you're like, what, how are other drag queens making money? And so you saw somebody sell t-shirts online. So you're like, I'll sell t-shirts online.
You saw people promoting and producing shows and parties. So you're like, I'll try that. And then also making their own music. And so, well, first of all, do you have any of those old T-shirts still? Because I want one. I do. Yeah.
OK, well, if you find one, let me know. But when I was reading that, I was surprised because I figured that sort of the big moneymaker is performing. Is that right?
So tell me about that.
Keeping costs low. Yes. No, perfect. And so when so you said you're getting paid like a hundred bucks, maybe. So is that normally the structure? It's like you'll get a fee and then tips.
So how much, like, say the Blue Moon, where, you know, bar in Pittsburgh, where you're a big part of the legacy there. How much would somebody make in tips a night there?
$20?
Yeah. Yeah. And so what are the what are the costs? How does it get so expensive?
Yeah. And do you think because I was thinking about it and not every job has such startup costs like that.
And so you really have to be willing to invest in yourself.
And so did that make you feel differently, do you think, than if you had a job where like you could have just jumped into it? Like, do you feel like you were more confident because you're investing or did you feel like I got to make this work because I'm like putting my money into it?
