AT – What was it like working with Alaska? MC – Alaska is fucking lovely and SUPER professional, and the fact that she was willing to do this video, to me, exemplifies how down to earth and connected to the queer art community she actually is. It was so weird to watch the fans reaction to her on All Stars 2, because it really drove home the fact that people can’t see who you actually are through the TV, or maybe they just don’t want to because then it wouldn’t be as dramatic for them. I’ll say that the greatest part of working with Alaska, for me, was that she is such a kind, genuine person that at one point, I started to get a little snappy with a friend of mine who was helping, and I just thought, “Shit. I can’t be a dick to this person in front of Alaska. Also, why am I even being a dick to this person at all? I’m just stressed out about the shoot. Calm down, and be nice to your friend, girl.” It just felt really awesome to be in the presence of someone whose example of kindness kept me in check and made me into a kinder person. I wish that that was something I could access in my life more.
