NAME "Krissy is an extension of my given name ( Kris ). People called me Krissy growing up when I was being too fabulous. Feetface is a strange nickname/persona I got in college when I worked at a sorority as a waiter."
FIRST DRAG PERFORMANCE "My first performance was in the Drag Matinee Pre-Show in February 2015. I performed 'Fergalicous' by Fergie."
DRAG INSPIRATION "I've always been drawn to fashion of the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s. I think that's because of the TV shows I watched growing up. Nick at Night was my jam: I loved shows like The Monkees, Three's Company, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Bewitched. I wanted to be Blair from The Facts of Life and grow up to work for Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Women."
GO-TO NUMBER TO SLAY THE CROWD "Anything high-energy where I'm dancing my turd-hole off! My fav right now is Hayley Kiyoko's 'What I Need.'"
FUN FACT "That I don't have feet at all! Ha! When folks see me perform for the first time, they remark that I'm actually a good performer. I also studied photography in college so I do a lot of my own drag portraits and drag sisters' photos."
FUTURE PROJECTS "I've got some fun ideas for Feetface merch! This past year I started focusing on my health and fitness so in 2019 I'm going to start 'relying on that body.' Ha!"
