S2. Ep. 7 Pink Elephants and Lemonade Every Day ft. Luis Xtravaganza
You probably know him from his work with Madonna on the Blonde Ambition Tour and bringing Vogue to the masses. Luis Xtravaganza is a vogueing pioneer. He has his own podcast called Werque, and a monthly vogue workshop he plans to bring back in Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Luis tells us all about how he first started shaking it to Iris Chacón in front of the TV and later as a performer at the New York ballroom and dance scene where he was a member of the House of Xtravaganza. Luis recounts times spent with Madonna on tour and preparing for the MTV music video awards, and the making of the film Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991), and Madonna’s support of his own work. We find out about ‘Bitchiest Bunch’ drag bunch happening outdoors every Sunday at Luis’ show club, Oscar’s Downtown in Palm Springs. Listen in for a really fun time catching up with Luis Camacho Xtravaganza!
S1. Ep. 20 Freak Filter ft. Julie Brown
This episode we are joined by one of my favorites: comedienne and actress Julie Brown. Comedy in the age of cancel culture is something that we discuss a lot on Drag Time with Heklina and we get a real sweetheart’s take on political correctness in comedy. She tells us about meeting Michael Jackson while working on the dance number for her Madonna spoof entitled “Vague,” and then we reminiscence about her work on the set of Clueless (she was the lesbian gym teacher.) We play a game of “Who’s a bitch?” Listen in to find out if Zsa Zsa Gabor is one - and more! Julie Brown even tells us all about her warm spot for San Francisco!
