.LADYBUNNY77’s new comedy special is as provocative as ever.
On a balmy Wednesday afternoon, I sit down and gear up my laptop to talk to Lady Bunny over Zoom. Once we link, I ask simply: How are you doing? “Oh, just the usual weekday, arguing on social media with people I don’t know,” she replies in her trademark Tennessee drawl, followed by a shriek of laughter. “I’m a people person, and we can’t really see people right now—but I can still type at them!” Well, indeed.
“I congratulate the queens who look great in any style that comes along,” Bunny says. “But for someone like me, I know what looks best on me. I don’t even really attempt to change with the times. Not every silhouette suits me.” Bunny’s distinctive fashion formula, from her early days in the Atlanta scene with RuPaul to her current status as a New York drag stalwart, usually consists of an oversized blonde wig, a floaty, thigh-skimming gown, and a towering pair of heels.
“It’s awful,” Bunny adds. “There are parallels, but there were specific and more difficult ways to contract the HIV virus, whether through intravenous drug use or anal sex. COVID is there for absolutely everyone to catch, just from touching your face.” While she resists being labeled as something of a figurehead for the New York drag scene , she is more philosophical when it comes to the profound impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the future of queer nightlife.
