First off, you should know that the gays love it when you turn up on Popular. Well, I should hope so! Cherry Cherry taps into all my specialties: big hair, fun clothes, big makeup, beauty queen--and it doesn't hurt that she was the town's wealthiest woman. The funny thing is, Ryan Murphy, the show's creator, loves to read Cherry Cherry in the run-throughs, and he has her down perfectly. So I just try and copy him as best I can. Were you popular in high school? No. They didn't know what to make of me because I was always doing pageants. I would wear hairpieces to school, and for Christmas I wore my Santa elf costume with thigh-high red boots. I'd cut school to go for beauty queen appearances, and my mother would write funny notes to explain my absence, like `Delta's been kidnapped Kidnapped caught in the intrigues of Scottish factions, David Balfour and Alan Breck are shipwrecked, escape from the king’s soldiers, and undergo great dangers.

I love that kind of humor humor, according to ancient theory, any of four bodily fluids that determined man's health and temperament. Hippocrates postulated that an imbalance among the humors (blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile) resulted in pain and disease, and that good health was , and working with [openly gay writer-director] Del Shores was a wonderful experience. I mean, I don't go around with no makeup on, letting my white-trash upper arms show, and in hair curlers for just anybody. Would you ever do a Designing Women reunion movie? Oh, sure. [Creator] Linda [Bloodworth-Thomason] still calls, and she's thinking about the idea, so you never know. I still watch the reruns any chance I get. Those characters still make me laugh out loud.

Because my career's always been television, I felt like I was in my 20s, getting my first part.
