Ginger Minj - Drag, live, gay and even on roller skates

Ginger Minj is "the nicest bitch you'll ever meet," according to Joshua Eads, the actor who plays Ginger. But bitchiness is, in this case, not a sign of nastiness.

"The bitchiness comes from a place of love and humor and should never be taken seriously," Eads said, in an interview with the Bay Area Reporter. "Dry and sarcastic are very funny to me."

The nicest bitch is just one of the titles accorded to the drag performer, who appears at Oasis on May 9 and 10. As Ginger, Orlando resident Eads is also known as The Comedy Queen of the South and Glamour Toad.

"Because toads aren't considered beautiful and that's how I felt most of my life," he said, "I've always been too short, too round; too much cheek, not enough neck. Drag gave me an opportunity to really embrace what I'd always been told was wrong with me, to throw a little glitter on my flaws, and feel just as glamorous as anyone else in the world."

Ginger Minj is glamorous enough to have competed on RuPaul's Drag Race, where he was a finalist on season seven. He remembers the experience as being terrifying, exhausting and fulfilling and said that RuPaul is a tough taskmaster who runs a tight ship.
