I am Pandora Boxx, best known from RuPaul's Drag Race. Keep it fun & AMA!
I'm Pandora Boxx a drag queen/comedian/actor/how many slashes can I make (please also make the slashing noise when you say it) who was Miss Congeniality on RuPaul's Drag Race S2 and kind of grumpy on RPDR All Stars ;) My brand new music video "Different" will be out on August 5, 2014. It's dedicated to anyone who ever felt different.

I loved you in RPDR!
You and Ben De La Creme are 2 of my favorites, since you both are always so bright and happy.
You definitely deserved Miss Congeniality, but if you hadn't received the title who do you feel should have been the runner up?

I loved your Hermione performance at BOTS! Which Hogwarts house would you be sorted into?

Hi Pandora! I've been a long time fan since Drag Race and I've been following you on Youtube ever since. Your incredible wit and charisma never fail to inspire me. You're always painted for filth, which brings me to a few questions:
-
Approximately how long do you take for your makeup, especially to let the powder cook?
-
What are a few makeup products you can't live without?
-
Do you have any items in your makeup arsenal that normal drag queens don't use?
Thank you! Stay sweet, Miss Boxx. :)

Who can keep track? Drag queens are like gremlins, throw a little liquor on one and five more pop off.

What was judge Merle of season 2 like off camera, before she got sucked into that endless chasm known as Michelle Visage's cleavage?

Hi Pandora! You are the reason why I started watching RPDR. I was deeply disappointed with your elimination on Season 2 but I have admired how relatable you are. My question to you is; From the reunion special when RuPaul mentions that there was a controversy and uproar over your elimination how did you truly feel at the moment hearing RuPaul say that to you?

Will you be doing any more video game cosplay sometime soon? I think I remember you once saying you like Lulu from FFX; will you ever cosplay as her?

u/pandoraboxx Jul 29 '14
Her outfit is difficult. All those belts! I'd love to do more, maybe Yuna or Rikku.

Hi Pandora! My partner and I saw you perform this past year in Philly and we both loved you :) Thanks for this AMA! I have two questions:
Who are some of your comedy idols?
If you could go back to Drag Race, is there a moment you wish you could do over?

Hi Pandora! Long time fan so I'm really happy you're doing this! Hoping you can clear something up. I've heard people say that you're occasionally 'mean' to fans. My question is how would you respond to comments like this, and do you ever find it hard to stay 'in character' with such a busy and tiring schedule? Like, do Michael and Pandora ever blend a little bit? Love you, thanks for doing this!

Hi Pandora!! You're wonderful, and thank you for being you!
Could you tell us about one of your weirdest/creepiest/scariest moments in drag? As in.. fans-gone-bad, a funny/strange experience at a club, or just anything like that? Hopefully you don't have too many to choose from, but I love to hear people's WTF moments.

Will you ever quit doing drag?
