When asked if her unforgettable Statue of Liberty drag from Gov Ball was in her top three, Roan took the chance to give us a little backstory on the lengths she went to pull off that look. “I don’t think people know this: I had to spread my cheeks,” the singer shared, referring to her body paint.

“I had to spread my cheeks and get sprayed with green, and it didn’t come off,” she continued. “The way I got that off was I took three baths and [used] not soap [but] dish soap. I literally poured dish soap in. I rubbed my whole body with coconut oil, jumped in, and scrubbed with a literal kitchen sponge, and all of it came off except there was a green tint to my skin, so I literally looked moldy for four days. I was scrubbing my bikini line, and my pubes were pulling out.” Hey, can’t say she’s not committed!
Elsewhere in the podcast, Roan also opened up about how fashion serves as a vehicle for her to separate her on-stage and off-stage personas. “I’m very modest when it comes to my day-to-day [dressing],” she said. “I used to dress f*cking crazy. Before all of this happened and I had energy and light in my eyes, I would literally just wear my thong out, mini skirt, bottom ass cheeks out, nipples see through.”
“I dressed really, really, bimbo-y,” she continued. “I would wear silicone breast inserts to make my boobs come up to my f*cking clavicle. [But] I just lost my shine because it became a job, and then I was like, ‘I’m f*cking tired.’”
