Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, New York City, USA - Spring 2023 (left Nick Gaga, right Stasi)
They call me Stasi -- a Hell's Kitchen original. Born from noise, built from eyeliner and instinct, I started my drag career in the moody Pacific Northwest pageant scene where I was universally encouraged to move to the Big Apple, New York motherfucking City. I clawed my way to the top, one performance at a time, one competition at a time, until the city had no choice but to learn my name.
I'm not the "feel good" queen. I'm the "holy shit did you see that" queen. I perform like I'm fighting off the end of the world, but like, fashionable too. My drag isn't clean and sterile -- it's alive and scintillating. My glam bites back, bitches.
Find me ruling Hell's Kitchen -- the beating heart of the city -- where real drag queens work and legends are made. Tens of thousands of queens across the country aspire to be a booked and blessed drag queen, but only an elite handful are paying their bills full time in New York City. And I'm one of them.
