Before becoming known for her work alongside RuPaul, Michelle was a member of the New York ball scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s (an era which was recently highlighted in the Ryan Murphy drama Pose).During that time, Michelle was taught to vogue by ball fixture Willi Ninja, telling Dazed in 2015: “I could out-vogue any female who came for me, and most of the boys too.”

World rings in 2023

Country by country, the world welcomed 2023 early Sunday morning — and bid goodbye to a year marked by war, economic uncertainties, and COVID variants. Many cities were celebrating New Year's in full force for the first time since the pandemic, with more than 100,000 gathering on the Embankment of the Thames in London for a firework show that paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, while an estimated million people braved the rain for the New Year's Eve party in New York's Times Square.
