"This isn't a career that lasts 35 years," Victoria "Porkchop" Parker says as she celebrates her 35th year in the business as one of drag's most preeminent performers. "This is a career that might last 10 years, if you're really, really good and you're really, really lucky ... And obviously I have something I don't know what it is or how I got it or how to get rid of it. And I don't want to get rid of it."So what is that "it" that allowed Porkchop to explode on the pageant scene, get eliminated way too early from Season 1 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and return regularly to the series as one of its most beloved Queens? Porkchop herself might not know, but she certainly has the experience to back up her success. Check out the premiere episode of 'Exposed: Dragged Out,' in which Porkchop talks to host Joseph Shepherd about what led her to 'Drag Race,' why she refused to sit on that car, and where her career is taking her now. Because even after 35 years, there's plenty more Porkchop to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
