Drag queen Trixie Mattel offers folksy wisdom on new album


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — If you've only heard of Trixie Mattel as the blond, beehive-wig wearing winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 3," then you've only scratched the surface of this comedian, television show host and musician.

Mattel looks something like an Andy Warhol version of Barbie with giant butterfly lashes and knife sharp cheekbones. Mattel has appeared on multiple seasons of the popular RuPual series and is the co-host of a show on Viceland.

Behind the biting wit, Mattel is disarming audiences on tour with really earnest country and folk songs about failed relationships and old-timey wisdom. Mattel has released two albums, which fit into the star's comedy set on the road.
