"I'm not a fan of how us pageant girls are received." They make those, too," the eight-year drag veteran says.

We've only been talking for four minutes, but with natural charisma and crackling wit oozing from every pore of her buttery smooth skin, Angeria Paris VanMicheals has already accomplished the goal she set in becoming a TV star: "I want to show that I'm the pageant girl with the personality. VH1 Angeria Paris VanMichaels on 'RuPaul's Drag Race' season 14. I love to do everything." Angeria Paris VanMicheals "I don't fit in one look I'm very versatile. "If one day I like to look spooky, I do spooky, if one day I want to look beautiful - because I am beautiful - I do beautiful," she says, referencing past looks that range from high-glam to devil horns, sea monsters, and a pumpkin-headed ghoul. When she's not leaning into boyishly handsome looks out of drag, she's serving versatile fashions that suit her mood instead of tailoring her vision to fit anyone's parameters. That approach also holds true to her physical presentation. " is very confident, very fierce, very strong, like Naomi Campbell, but drag. It's like a show! The only difference is I'm not doing lip-syncs, but I still do choreography," continues Alyssa. "Obviously, a gay boy needs to help them," she jokes, adding that her talent feels like a god-given skillset written in the stars by her mother, who competed in high-profile pageants in 1994 - just before she was born. A seasoned, self-taught runway coach who began giving runway lessons from her home, Alyssa was later hired by the Miss Universe Puerto Rico pageant to help women perfect their runway walks on a regional stage. That's not a question!"Īlso not questionable: What she brings to the catwalk. "When you're with a Puerto Rican queen, you know they're going to bring it. "We're very ambitious and competitive," she says.
From the sweet softness of pageant beauty (her persona was inspired by Miss USA winner Alyssa Campanella) to the killer instincts of a ferocious panther on the runway (she lifted Continental winner Danielle Hunter's last name as a deliberate juxtaposition), her passion for drag-as-spectacle feels boundless. She speaks about the (admittedly jaw-dropping) moment with a casual confidence, probably because she's used to gagging an audience.
One of my heels broke and I told a dancer to get into the skirt and fix my heel," she says of her 2018 Miss Universe Latina performance - a megamix that shifts from "this is nice" to "gagatrondra" the moment several backing groovers leap out from under her gown to perform a highly choreographed dance odyssey. To know Puerto Rican starlet Alyssa Hunter is to know limits don't exist in her world, even if it means impossibly stuffing four fully grown men under her dress for the sake of a fleeting number.
