VANNIALL in CONVERSATION with FANTASIA ROYALE GAGA
PHOTOGRAPHY by PENELOPE DARIO
This real life cartoon siren, internationally renowned showgirl, and reality show star, is really just the sweetest lil' thing with a heart even bigger than her tah-tahs.
Fantasia Royale Gaga is a beauty queen doesn’t just have bodddy, she’s got range baby, and charisma for days. Ever since the first sighting of this rare bird, I waited for the perfect moment to invite her to grace our pages. When the day finally came to shoot her, I knew to expect a consumate professional, but I did not expect the show I had in store. I threw on a spotify hits playlist at her request and she went to work hunny—prancing, leaping, presenting, and emoting like she was infront of 20,000 people cheering her on. You wouldn't believe it was just lil' old me and my camera humbly atempting to capture someone who has managed to turn a performance of a lifetime into a casual routine—no pressure. But really, her humor and capacity for instant connection diffused any production jitters. She is a wonder to behold and collaborate with.
I was equally excited to pair Fantasia up with her former Hot-Haus co-star and Petit Mort's Volume 5 cover star, Vanniall, for a sweet sisterly chat off-stage, where you can feel the love between the lines. - PENELOPE DARIO, EIC.

PETIT MORT (Vanniall)
So, the Body is Everywhere. Fantasia, motherfucking boy-ow. Let's say someone just woke up from a coma and they have no clue who you are. They’ve lost all their senses and don’t know anything about Fantasia Royale Gaga. How would you describe yourself?
FANTASIA
First of all, I am a vision.
I'm a vision, I’m a daughter, I’m a leader. I’m very exotic. I’m an activist, an advocate, but more importantly, I am a beautiful trans individual with enormous boobs. (laughter)
Giant boobs! I think that was one of the first things I noticed about you — your giant boobs.
If they need a vision, I would say, imagine someone like Betty Boop or Jessica Rabbit, but brought into today’s modern world.
Oh my god, yes, modern. I could’ve sworn you did Jessica Rabbit!
For the last few years, I’ve been doing Jessica Rabbit for Halloween. She’s one of my inspirations, so I love embodying her around that time. I mean, I do it throughout the year, but Halloween is one of my favorite times to do it.
What about her sparked your inspiration?
