Angeria Paris VanMicheals, a dazzling victor from RuPaul’s Drag Race, harbors a fervent ambition: to helm the show’s beloved aftershow, *The Pit Stop*. She hasn’t waited for an invitation, but has actively pursued the opportunity, determined to bring her unique perspective to the series.
For a decade, *The Pit Stop* has offered fans a deeper dive into each week’s drama, hosted by a rotating cast of Drag Race favorites like Bianca Del Rio, Trixie Mattel, and Alaska. Angeria believes she’s uniquely positioned to carry that torch, fueled by a lifelong devotion to the show.
“I’ve been watching since season one,” Angeria revealed, “I know all about it. I am the Rucyclopedia!” This isn’t just fandom; it’s an encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise, a passion she feels would translate perfectly to insightful and engaging commentary.
Despite not yet receiving an offer, Angeria remains undeterred. She describes her pursuit as “pretty persistent,” actively reaching out to the production team and manifesting her vision. She’s confident her deep connection to the show will ultimately win them over.
Beyond her own aspirations, Angeria is closely watching the current season 18, and the upcoming *UK vs The World* competition. She’s particularly excited about the potential of Vita VonTesse Starr, a longtime friend and fellow drag artist.
Vita, Angeria explains, is a true sewing virtuoso. She built a following recreating iconic looks from superstars like Cardi B, Beyoncé, and Janelle Monáe, consistently creating viral moments with her incredible talent and attention to detail.
Angeria also has her sights set on Nini Coco, another standout competitor from season 18. She’s impressed by Nini’s artistry and believes she’s a force to be reckoned with, already making waves with her innovative designs.
Her support extends across the pond to *UK vs The World*, where she’s rooting for Mariah Paris Balenciaga, whom she considers family, and Fontana, a finalist from Drag Race Sverige. She anticipates RuPaul will be captivated by Fontana’s natural charisma and undeniable stage presence.
Angeria sees Fontana as a performer “born for drag,” someone who embodies the energy and artistry RuPaul consistently champions. She believes Fontana will quickly become a fan favorite, bringing a vibrant personality to the competition.
For Angeria, hosting *The Pit Stop* isn’t just a career goal; it’s a chance to share her profound love for *RuPaul’s Drag Race* with the world, offering fans a unique and insightful perspective born from years of dedicated viewership and genuine passion.
