Pandora: I knew I was the minute I exited the womb in five-inch pumps.
*****
Muzo: How did your family respond?
Pandora: They've been very supportive, though it did take awhile for them to warm up to the idea of their son/brother being a fake lady. Now they love it. My sister wants to be my business manager!
*****
Muzo: Out of all the girls in the cast, have you made any new besties?
Pandora: Yes I definitely have! I feel really fortunate to have been able to meet and work with some of these gals. I look forward to working with them in the future.
*****
Muzo: How would you say this season is different from season one?
Pandora: Hellooooooo cattiness! I was shocked at some of the queen's behavior. I kept thinking, you do know this is going to be on television right? There also wasn't a real blend of all the different types of drag in the drag world. Everyone had a real "girly" look.

Pandora: I feel like I'm always in drag now! I actually write a lot. I just recently finished writing and producing my own original play called The Lipstick Massacre. We are actually bringing it back for 13 performances in Rochester and I'm really excited. (Muzo says: Visit the 'Lipstick Massacre' page on Facebook).
*****
Muzo: It's pretty clear that Tyra rubbed a lotta girls the wrong way....advice for Tyra?
Pandora: I would say regardless of how beautiful and fabulous you think you are, you need to keep yourself in check. You are most likely always going to have to work with other queens. Treat them how you would want to be treated. She's young, so hopefully she'll grow out of it.
*****
Muzo: Who are your drag idols?
Pandora: RuPaul definitely. That's partly why I wanted to do the show. I hope to have half the amazing career he has.

Pandora: I'm a huge Carol Channing fan and have been since I was a kid. She's just such a character! I saw her present an award at the Tonys one year with LL Cool J. I swear I don't think she knew where she was! I thought wouldn't it be funny if Carol had her own talk show called 'Carol Channing Rambles!" So, I made it into a skit for my sketch comedy show, "The GAY (means happy) SHOW!" You can actually watch them online at youtube. But in all honesty doing Carol on 'RuPaul's Drag Race' was only the fourth time I had ever done her!
*****
Muzo: With the show comes a lot of exposure! You working on any new projects now?
Pandora: There are some things in the works. Definitely my play, 'The Lipstick Massacre.' We are hoping to bring that to a bigger city. I'm working on a possible summer tour around the country. The response has been so incredible! It's so amazing. The best way to see what I'm up to is to check out my official website.

Pandora: Taken
*****
Muzo: Celebrity crush?
Pandora: Taylor Lautner! Hot.
*****
Muzo: Type of guy you usually go for?
Pandora: It depends on what time of the night it is and how many cocktails I've enjoyed.
*****
Muzo: Top 5 most-played songs on your iPod?
Pandora: Well my iPod is telling me it is: "Toes" by The Wet Spots, "I Hate This Part" by The Pussycat Dolls, "Cover Girl" by RuPaul, "LoveGame" by Lady Gaga, and "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks. My music taste is all over the place! I had "Cover Girl" on repeat for about two weeks after I found out I got on RuPaul's Drag Race!

Pandora: Run! Run away and very fast! But honestly, have fun with it! It's meant to be fun. Don't take yourself too seriously and please, please, please learn your past! You have the internet, so please be aware that music and drag existed before 2005. I'm sorry but it is unacceptable for a drag queen to say she ONLY knows about Tina Turner because she performed with Beyonce. Hell no! You need to know these things, I'm sorry, you do!
Muzo Note: Ooooh! The Other Tyra, that one's for you boo!
xo*****
Muzo: What's next for Ms. Boxx?
Pandora: There are some exciting new things in the works, so stay tuned! I hope to get to go to all of these places that people write me from! I'd love to meet all the amazingly supportive fans I have! They have blown me away!
