We’re kicking off Very Delta’s 2026 Pride celebration with none other than drag legend Varla Jean Merman! Varla spills on Provincetown, Palm Springs, and yes, poppers. With over 30 years in drag, she opens up about the iconic Mr. Shannon (the first drag queen she ever witnessed) and why he remains such a powerful inspiration in her life. Also, the two dive into fan mail, tackling everything from heterosexuals using the word “partner” to nannies who are NOT allies.
