BuzzFeed UK: Alright, last few questions! What’s your favourite weird food combo?
Jinkx Monsoon: I like French fries dipped in chocolate milkshake, I don’t think that’s weird though, I think it’s catching on. I like the sweet and salty combo, it’s kettle corn. You don’t have a lot of kettle corn in the UK, do you? In the movie theatre, when they say do you want sweet or salty, I always say mixed.
BuzzFeed UK: Do you have a favourite cocktail?
Jinkx Monsoon: I am three-and-a-half years sober, but when I drank, my drink for show was a three olive martini. Vodka, I was a vodka girl! When I was being truthful about what I really wanted to drink, it was piña coladas all the time. My favourite mocktail now is Diet Coke.
BuzzFeed UK: And finally, who is your favourite person?
Jinkx Monsoon: My aunt Mimi, we call her my spiritual mother. I was raised by three women – my mum, my grandma, and my aunt. I like to think of them as Hecate, the triple goddess with three faces. They all instil different wisdom in me, but I don’t think I’d be half the person people know me as if it hadn’t been for my aunt Mimi.
BuzzFeed UK: Will we see an impression of her on the show?
Jinkx Monsoon: You’ll have to wait and see!
