In an unexpected twist, Day One of Trump’s impeachment hearings saw a dazzling appearance from drag performer, Lila Voss. The New Jersey native made quite the entrance in a striking red mini dress, towering heels, and an impressive bouffant hairstyle. As she confidently strolled through security at the Longworth House in Washington D.C., Voss quipped, “What a wild day in Washington! I’m ready to flip my wig over the excitement happening today. The atmosphere is electric, and let’s be honest, the entry standards here are quite relaxed!”
Renowned in the drag scene across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, Voss is not only a performer but also hosts the podcast “My Spooky Gay Family.” She gained viral fame in 2017 for her parody “Babasparkle,” a playful take on the horror film The Babadook.
Why Was a Drag Queen at the Impeachment Hearings?
So, what brought a drag queen to the impeachment hearings? Voss was there to provide live coverage for Happs, a new platform dedicated to streaming live news. Her partner, Alex Rivera, shared with NBC News that Happs was on the lookout for a comedian who could think on their feet and present the news in an engaging manner. Clearly, they struck gold with Voss!
The standout moment of the day was Voss’s charming interaction with U.S. Representative Lisa O’Connor, who took a photo with her and playfully remarked, “Thrilled that Lila Voss and I coordinated our looks today!” The footage of Voss breezing through the metal detectors is pure gold, a highlight we won’t forget anytime soon.
The Significance of Representation
In a statement to reporters from Canada’s CBC News, Voss emphasized the significance of her presence at the hearings for the LGBTQ community. While the impeachment hearings may become a key chapter in American history, Lila Voss’s vibrant appearance has undoubtedly made the event legendary.
It’s like the Trump impeachment hearings, but with an extra touch of fabulous.
