![]() Tell me a bit more about how you came to that impersonation. Speaking of you not wanting this impression to be all you were known for, you talked about that with the Snatch Game this week, too, and your decision to do Kim Cattrall. Yeah, and I also thought, Well, I definitely stood out, because everyone’s doing like these dance moves, and I’m like, “Here I am!” And since that is all anybody talks to me about, this is a great way to do it in a different way.Ī post shared by Pandora Boxx always refreshing to have people who aren’t doing the biggest pop stars, who are bringing back some of the classic stars. So I was like, I want to educate people and show people that. I debated because I really didn’t want to do Carol Channing again, but I kind of felt like I had to because she passed away and a lot of people don’t know that she was the first famous halftime entertainer. I want to go through some of your specific challenges, starting with the Super Bowl halftime performance challenge, where you revived the Carol Channing impersonation that was one of your big season-two moments in Snatch Game. She’s absolutely stunning, so I don’t want her to stand directly next to me. And I was very excited for people to see Kylie now because she has evolved and changed. The whole thing of just being on the set again was surreal and then to have Kylie there too, it was cool to have somebody that you already shared that experience with. What was it like to be competing with her again? You also got into the Werk Room and saw your season-two sister Kylie Sonique Love. But now, you see that everywhere, and it’s amazing that drag has come so far that it can be all those things it was meant to be. There were so many things I thought were going to happen after season two, like somebody approaching me about my own fragrance, about my own TV show, about a lipstick, and none of it happened because it wasn’t the right time, really. ![]() It also just feels like, culturally, in season two things were still coming up, and now it’s huge. ![]() There are wig designers - you can get wigs from anywhere now - and costume designers, and the game has been upped now on Drag Race. I mean, I think drag itself has evolved so much, especially since season two, where everyone has a shake-and-go wig and a spandex dress. That everybody was young and that I wasn’t. What did you notice had changed since the last time you were on that show? This group of queens was kind of a young group there were a lot of people from the last few seasons of Drag Race. I think that enough time had passed, and I wasn’t bitter about it anymore. What made you feel like now was the time to come back? It’s been almost ten years since you were on All Stars 1. Following her latest elimination, Vulture spoke to Pandora about what has changed since her time away from Drag Race, reviving her Carol Channing impersonation, her other Snatch Game choices, and her upcoming album. But the risk nonetheless capped off another great run for the queen, giving her a sixth-place finish after she had previously been one of the first queens eliminated on All Stars 1. Pandora’s risk didn’t quite pay off: Her sexed-up Cattrall landed her in the bottom two for a second week in a row, leading to her elimination. “I can’t even think about it because I’m doing a completely different type of character.” “I don’t want to carry that in with me and keep thinking, Oh, is it as funny as last time?” she told Ra’Jah O’Hara while preparing for the challenge. Back in season two, her impersonation of Carol Channing became one of the first truly iconic Snatch Game performances (and not just for her lovely bunch of coconuts, either). “You know, she doesn’t want to play the same character anymore.” Pandora dealt with similar feelings coming into All Stars season six more than a decade after her first appearance on Drag Race. “I certainly respected her decision,” Pandora says. Not just because the drag queen impersonated the former Sex and the City actress during the Snatch Game of Love on this week’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6 but also for Cattrall’s recent decision not to join And Just Like That, HBO Max’s revival of her flagship series.
