"I first became interested in drag when my good friend and fellow costume designer Tiger Lily introduced me to ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ television show," Coulee told Newcity last year.
She studied costume design at Columbia College and has performed at Hydrate nightclub in Boystown. She describes herself as "a high-class supermodel that you don’t wanna (expletive) with" and cites supermodel Naomi Campbell as her inspiration.
Season 9 of "RuPaul’s Drag Race" is slated to air in the spring.
