Monique Heart came to RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4 with something to prove. After her Season 10 ended, Monique regrouped and prepared for her “Ru-demption” on All Stars 4; and that is exactly what she got.
From “Brown Cow Stunning” looks (as well as a single of the same name) along with stunning lip sync and challenge performances, Heart traveled all the way up the ranks to a Top Four contestant this time around. I caught up with her post elimination to chat about what it was like coming back to the competition so soon after her own season, the big change she’s made in her personal life, and why the “Gay Oprah” may have a few more tricks up her sleeve yet!
Yes I am, thank you! I was happy, very much so!
You know, there wasn’t, not at all. The only issue that I had with Season 10 was really that the “butterfly killer” (Asia O’Hara) sent me home because her costume was better than mine!(laughs).
Actually no. I was not really worried about any of them other girls, I was just worried about getting myself to the finish line! (laughs).
No-I didn’t win.
You know, I didn't really have an inner saboteur the time around. All I really had to do was to rebuke the devil and take each of these ho’s out one by one. And you know what-Manila and Monet and each of them one by one, got the chop; bloop!
Oh, the music was great, but it was definitely hard! ‘Brown Cow Stunning” was initially a bleak moment for me on Season 10 and they wanted a song, so I gave them one! It turned out we got to use it for the variety show, so BOOM!
Well, I am currently finishing my one woman show, we just finished rehearsals yesterday and tomorrow we are officially hitting the road. We start in Canada the last week of February, then I am back in March for the other half of the country. I am doing film in Los Angeles, and I just moved out there to give myself some more opportunities. I just filmed for two weeks with a major television network, and I meet with an agent very soon. I am going to be auditioning, doing more shows and building the brand. Long term I want to be a gay Oprah! (laughs).
When I look back over the entire experience, I may have been on television for a year, but for me this was a ten year journey. Seeing the preparation for success I went through and for television, I am gagged, I am gooped, the goopery is very real. I can look at my life and say “Wow Jesus, you really did hear the dreams and plans of my heart and allow them to come true in time.” I am very happy.
