7 Fabulous Facts About Jinkx Monsoon

We're celebrating 31 Days of Jinkx Monsoon here at Logoland, and that seems justified considering she's the most talented queen in the history of RuPaul's Drag Race. The season five champion can sing, act, make jokes, imitate people, and captivate with that naughty, effete voice of hers. As far as I'm concerned, the only complaint you can level at Jinkx is that she seems like a really, genuinely nice person, and maybe some people think that detracts from her "nerve" quotient. We don't!

Let's help kick off her month-long celebration with a tribute. Here are seven fabulous facts about the Seattle drag queen born Jerick Hoffer.

1. She is a huge fan of Addams Family Values. (She starts quoting Debbie Jellinsky [Joan Cusack] at 1:38.)

2. She has a crush on Santino Rice.

We learned a lot in our interview with Jinkx. Here's the naughtiest tidbit.

"But my true crush on RuPaul’s Drag Race — one that’s not circumstantial and based on isolation — is my crush on Santino, which was only barely touched on. I don’t think anything would or should ever happen with me and Santino, but I’d love to take him as my date to a red carpet event sometime. There’s something about a man in a turban that I’m crazy about."

3. How does Jinkx make her voice that high? By picturing "a car going over a hill," of course.

4. She makes a fantastic Liza.

5. It was rumored that she might replace NPH in Hedwig after his run is over and -- HEY! -- they know each other! (Here they are backstage at Jinkx's show The Vaudevillians.)

6. She almost picked Helena Bonham Carter for Snatch Game instead of Little Edie.

"I was almost going to Helena Bonham Carter. She’s such a huge icon to me. I see everything she’s in. I love her body of work. I think she’s a brilliant actress and so transformational. She’s kind of what I aspire to be as an actor, able to do anything."

7. She is a wonderful drug addict.
