Violet Chachki was crowned America's Next Drag Superstar Monday night, besting Ginger Minj and Pearl to become the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race season 7.
The Advocate spoke with Violet the morning after her win about the momentous event. The 22-year-old drag performer also talked about her desire to break into the world of fashion, her new Bettie Page-inspired music video, her love of Caitlyn Jenner, and her drive to use her fame to fight for transgender rights.
****************************************
In light of the Caitlyn Jenner news, other people get overlooked. Great story and interview with Violet. Potential Trigger Warning - if even the sight of the t words offends you, pass. But, if you can get beyond that, it's a great interview with an up and rising potential star.

That is pretty awesome. I like anybody that's willing to fight for our rights.
