SHOW. ME. THE. RECEIPTS. • He’s the media’s Freddie Krueger: no matter how hard he falls (sacked as the Daily Mirror editor in 2004; quit his job as Good Morning Britain host in 2021 after you know what), he just keeps coming back.

Peppermint • Forget your All Stars and your vs the Worlds, some RuPaul’s Drag Race stars forge a career with a singular appearance on the show. And this bitch didn’t even win the damn competition, placing runner-up on season 9 — possibly the best one ever. “We set a standard on our season, I think,” opines Peppermint. “Also, it was the first season in the States to go to VH1, so it was really polished by the time it opened up for a lot of people. It was also a standout because it had the first lip-sync smackdown as the finale, and [it was] the first time they’d had a final four. People seem to really like that format.” Peppermint has since released two studio albums and, as Pythio in The Go-Go’s-inspired musical Head Over Heels, become the first trans woman to originate a lead Broadway role. It’s a privilege to catch up with this fierce talent.
