A little over a year ago, I found this collaboration YouTube channel called Perfect Androgyny which was created by Joseph Harwood who is a legend to me. Through this one channel I learned so much and I also met someone who soon became one of my favorite artists and eventually became one of my close friends. Arabia Felix is a brilliant drag queen and he has an out of this world vision and I know he will someday inspire more and more people and set the universe on fire. I asked him to be my first interview because I want everyone to see how extraordinary he is not only as an artist but as a person. :)
1. How would you describe your drag persona?
- Artistic, Unexpected, Laid-back yet one of a kind, and last by not least, Nonhuman.
2. What is your biggest pet peeve?
- Burping out loud.
3. What is your country/culture like?
- Pretty much typical Middle Eastern, very conservative; most rules are restricted to Islamic regulations and traditions.

- Putting myself online has helped me a lot with all the positive feedback that I get. I tend to stay away from negative people who complain all the time and have no future goals.
5. What do you want people to know about you as an artist?
- That there are not limits in space, time, and region when it comes to what I create.
6. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
- First thought, I would say the States so I can start building up my professional career, but since I know that I'm eventually going to make that happen, I would say space! I think it changes you as a person when you go there.
7. Do you regret anything? If so, what is it and why?

- 4 to 5 hrs.

13. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
- I guess we'll find out soon! I hate to describe my future, I want to live it.
14. What's your best feature in your opinion?
- Helping people in need.
15. If you could change something about yourself, what would it be and why?
- Helping people in need lol! Well you see, sometimes assholes will take advantage of that, and there are a lot of smart assholes in this world.
16. What got you into doing drag?
- The universe.. seriously!
17. How do you get your "creative juice" flowing?
- If you're passionate about something, your creativity will always keep rising up like a huge bolt of flame.
