How Buckwheat came to dominate the NZ drag scene - Kita and Anita's Happy Hour

Kita's back for another episode of Happy Hour, and this time she's joined by her drag aunty Buckwheat to discuss her 36 years in drag! The local nightlife icon recalls going to clubs at 14 when being gay was illegal, the original Hero Parades and being lowered from the Town Hall ceiling at 5am, working Mardi Gras flights with Kathy Griffin, and swapping out the wigs and heels for some body bronzer at a bodybuilding competition!
