SYMONE: I kept seeing the color combinations (black, yellow, red, and green). Can we talk a little bit about the hair? Because when I saw it, I immediately got the Ivy Park reference and was so excited to see it come to life on the Drag Race stage. ALLURE: I would love to hear a little bit about your " Bead It " look from episode seven because that was just…everything. This is a moment for me to reference, to teach, but also have fun and show the beauty that is who we are.
Going on a platform, the people who are in the culture will get it, but there are a lot of people who don't even know about these things. I make it my own, while still paying homage because it is who I am and it's a beautiful thing. Of course, I try not to do exactly the same thing. I wanted to go on the show to reference, bring life, and shed light on the beauty that is who we are. I immediately get the references because they're always so rooted in Black culture. Gigi did the hair had some custom-made bamboo earrings put in there with my name and "The Ebony Enchantress." ALLURE : I think it's very easy for the audience to connect to your looks. That's the hair." So we did, of course, modify it a little bit. I saw that hairstyle from Nikki and was like, "That's it. But it's still a very striking one and I'm just so proud of it. I was very nervous about the look because you're either going to get it or you won't. That was the process of it - I got all the things together that I find so beautiful about who we are and made it drag. The grills, the decked-out jewelry, the polo shirts, low-hanging pants, big hair - we were like, "You know what? This is Urban Pinup." I was all these things I love about our culture. I was talking with my house, and we all said, "You know what? Why don't we do our version of a pinup?" SYMONE: was "Pastel Pinup." I was looking through images, but wasn't really connecting with any of them because, yeah, they were in there, but there weren't that many women of color. Tell me about how you arrived at creating that look. I was shook! I didn't know she was nice with wigs like that! Then, I read the credits and found out Gigi had done the wig for you.
I immediately thought of a hairstyle Nikki Nelms created for an Allure shoot. ALLURE: Now, we have to get into some of the hair looks you've served.
