  • Call Me Mother’s Dallas Dixon Dishes On Season 2 & The Power Of Drag

    Call Me Mother’s Dallas Dixon Dishes On Season 2 & The Power Of Drag

    Speaking with PRIDE the host teases working with drag icons and which queen he’d like to call mother.

    Hosting Call Me Mother is a perfect gig for Dallas Dixon, who has returned for the sophomore season of the drag reality TV competition series. For one thing, he’s a lifelong fan of the art of drag, who fondly recalls escaping his small town to go visit drag shows in Toronto, where he found himself fascinated by the artistry on display. But it also takes a lot of charisma and energy to stand out among a group of drag queens, but fortunately Dallas has a seemingly endless supply of both.

    For those initiated with the OutTV series, up-and-coming drag queens and kings compete for the title of “First Child of Drag”, but to do so they first have to earn their spot in one of the drag houses led by three icons of drag: Peppermint (House of Dulcet), Crystal (House of Glass), and Barbada de Barbades (House of Harmonie), who each mentor the queens they select to join their families.
