Totally Wasted: A conversation with Nuclia Waste

A conversation with Nuclia Waste
by Drew Wilson

Denver's drag diva Nuclia Waste premieres a new monthly show at Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret tonight called Nuclia Waste: Totally Wasted. 

I had the opportunity to chat with the Princess of Plutonium to find out a little bit about the show as well as her New Year's Resolutions for 2011 and her naughty naked plans for Telluride Gay Ski Week.

Drew: Hey Nuclia, what can we expect from your "one woman show" at Lannie's?
Nuclia Waste: You can expect to squirt a martini out your nose. Several in fact. The show chronicles the up and down career of my life as a crazy diva, from flight attendant to soap opera star. Then I poke fun at famous divas throughout history. 
 
Who are the divas you most admire and why?
Cher, because she has made herself timeless. Lady Gaga, because she puts fun and creativity into being a diva. Sarah Palin, because....oh, wait. I despise her. Never mind. 

What are your fondest memories of 2010?
If I did not drink so many martinis, I would have lots of fondest memories. Curse you, Absolut. 

What is your New Year's Resolution for 2011?

I resolve to say yes when Prince William asks me to marry him. Oops, too late. Damn that Kate Middleton. 

I hear you're once again involved with Telluride Gay Ski Week. What can we look forward to this year at TGSW?
This year I will be leading a tour out to the clothing optional Orvis Hot Springs. So look forward too hot naked boys and cold winter skiing.
