All over the place with Nuclia Waste
By Drew Wilson
Denver’s Princess of Plutonium Nuclia Waste is a very busy girl these days. She covered the DNC for 5280 magazine, performs a weekly show at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret and is slated to be the hostess with the mostess at Boulder PrideFest this Saturday, September 13. I caught up with her today between gigs and found out about everything she has going on.
How did you get roped into covering the DNC?
5280 wanted a video blog on their website so they could have something different and they figured what better way than to have Nuclia Waste?
Excellent point – what’s differenter than Nuclia Waste? So what’d you think of the DNC?
The DNC was amazing. It was just so interesting and colorful and so many people with so many agendas trying to make their voices heard. Everybody got to say something and I love that freedom of speech that comes with the Democratic party. I don’t think you see that with the Republican party.
So that means you’re an Obama girl?
Of course!
What do you think about McCain/Palin?
Well you know I think they picked her for shock value and hopefully that wears off pretty soon. Nobody knows what she stands for it seems like everybody is just interested in seeing how much lipstick she can put on.
Lots and lots.
When it comes down to the issues and debates I think we’re going to realize that she’s nothing but a Caribou Barbi. Google some interviews her where she’s not reading speeches written by Cark Rove and you’ll realize that she doesn’t know too much.
Tell me about the show at Lannie’s.
Well there are only six shows left for our country Western show Totally Plowed. People say it’s our funniest show ever. Country music is already a parody of itself so it doesn’t take much to push it over the edge of craziness. We have bigger hair and bigger boobs than Dolly Parton and there’s cowtipping, too!
What happens when you’re finished with Totally Plowed?
After that we’ll have a drag queen bingo Halloween themed fundraiser on Oct. 29. Once a quarter we always do a charity drag queen bingo at Lannies. Then we’ll be opening our Holiday Show in November and December which is the Buttcracker. It’s a ballet like you’ve never seen before.
It sounds like something I’ve seen before.
Well, probably you have but nobody else.
And even with all that you are still able to find the time to serve as the hostess of Boulder PrideFest?
I’m the emcee all day on the main stage on the pearl street mall for Boulder PrideFest and I’ll be performing as well. It’s a nice intimate pride clebration where you can just walk around and have fun. The pearl street mall is pretty entertaining to begin with and we all just add to it.
This year will be my first Boulder PrideFest. Am I gonna have fun?
This is my third year going up there. It’s really fun. The crowd is fun and there’s a fun dance party afterwards and it’s just a great time.
