2013 was a great year, but there was only one person that we followed from Seattle to LA to San Francisco to New York to back to Seattle and that person is... Jinkx Monsoon!
Jinkx (and the Man, Jerick Hoffer) started the year as Hedwig in Seattle's
Hedwig and the Angry Inch with Mixed reviews, but no one could argue the talent of Hoffer. When Season 5 of Rupaul's drag race premiered, Jinkx showed that she was there to learn and not engage and participate in Queen Cat fights, but it was what she was doing Behind the Scenes it was simply part of her charm. Jinkx continued to be the victor of each task and the audience fell in love.
I was lucky enough to be there for the
May taping of the Finale in North Hollywood, Jinkx looked and felt like the winner, unlike from previous seasons, and when Jinkx was crowned the winner the audience Bursted with applause and excitement. Jinkx grabbed Rupaul by the hand and walked down the runway as an equal team.
