Aleksa Manila is no stranger to Gay Bingo having now hosted her fourth event, but we know you want to know more. Rather than having security escort you off stage next month at Racy and Lacy Gay Bingo, we sat down with your lovely host and a handful of questions from the Proust Questionnaire to delve a little more deeply into what makes this drag queen tick
1. Who is your favorite hero of fiction?
Wonder Woman is confident, sexy and gets things done! But, I always wondered about how she maintained and put gas in her invisible jet!
2. Who are your heroes in real life?
My hero in real life is my mother who is tenacious and valiant. She's a survivor, continually has a positive outlook in life and always sees the beauty in everything and everyone.
3. What is your greatest extravagance?
A Gucci bag for $50 from the Goodwill. I mean, really - it's Gucci, but it's the Goodwill!
4. What is your favorite journey?
This one! Despite the downs, I always try to look up! Heels or flats!
5. What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Patience, of course! I said 8:00 pm, not 8:15, and certainly not 10:00 pm. I don't necessarily believe in being fashionably late either. Unless I'm waiting for a baby to be born, then I'll patiently wait.
6. What are your favorite names?
Aleksa & Manila definitely!
7. Which talent would you most like to have?
To be able to play the piano! Or any percussion instrument for that matter. I just know Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star by number on the piano.
8. Which living person do you most despise?
Who?
Wonder Woman is confident, sexy and gets things done! But, I always wondered about how she maintained and put gas in her invisible jet!
