Jinkx Monsoon: Before She Became Jinkx, The Documentary

Before she was America’s Next Drag Superstar, Jinkx Monsoon’s biggest acting accomplishment was being an extra on the 1990s sitcom Full House. Now, Jinkx is now a household name to drag queen fans and RuPaul’s Drag Race fanatics everywhere. Jerick Hoffer, Jinkx’s boy-half, was once a narcoleptic street artist and corn-dog-eating world-wanderer.

Fun Fact: Although Jinkx now calls Seattle home, she once lived in the hipster capitol of the world: Portland, Oregon. (We don’t think that would make BenDeLaCreme very happy… at least not according to her comments on the “Capitol Hill” web series!)

Check out this pre-Jinkx and Drag Race documentary to see what she was like before she became Jinkx Monsoon.
