Mondo Mado

Montreal's party queen
by MATTHEW HAYS
It would make sense that Mado would be crowned queen drag queen in this category, seeing as the avowed social-climbing bitch has maximized her exposure in calendars, a book and her weekly Ici column as well as countless performance engagements. Last year, her first book hit newsstands, Non mais tu vois ben qu'est folle, which is now a mere few copies away from becoming a Quebec bestseller.
"Don't take yourself too seriously," she confides as one of her secrets to success. "Remain nice even when you're bitchy," she adds. (We don't really understand that one entirely, but whatever.) And finally, "Have fun and party, party, party! Life is just too short to be boring."
But really, Mado, how does it feel to have won the Best Drag Queen title, the very first year the Mirror has ever run the category for Best of Montreal? "Not as good as getting fucked by the king."
