THE REVOLUTIONARY ART OF PANDORA NOX
Winner of Drag Race Germany and a true icon of the queer scene, Pandora Nox returns with a bold new manifesto. Her latest music video Chez Moi: Eat Pu$$y Not Meat pushes the boundaries of music and visual art – blending political power, camp, and unapologetic originality.
What inspired the creation of Chez Moi: Eat Pu$$y Not Meat
My two favorite things in the world are vegan food and vaginas. I wanted to create a fun song that people can dance to and have fun with, but also cover the seriousness of the topics: animal rights as well as queerness.
How does this track reflect your personal and political beliefs?
This is 100% my personal life and political beliefs. These are two of the most important things of my life: it's about pleasure, without cruelty, queer visibility and obviously - pussy! - Served on a silver platter.
The song mixes camp, rage, and queer empowerment. How did you approach blending these elements?
For me, it's super important to deliver my messages (whether they’re about veganism, queer empowerment, feminism, or LGBT+ rights) in a way that also brings joy to people. We can talk about serious topics with a fun approach; it makes it easier for people to connect and identify with them.
As a Drag Race Germany winner, how has your experience on the show influenced your music?
I won 100.000€ so I have money now, which means more money for music and music videos: better productions, better music videos :)
The track promotes cruelty-free living and veganism. Why is this message important to you?
Animal rights and veganism are one of the most important things to me in general in my life. It's a big part of my drag, my art and myself basically. As you can see, a cruelty-free way of living does not affect your art: you can look absolutely fabulous while being vegan and not exploiting animals.
As a drag performer you get attention, you get stage, people listen to you. I want to give my voice to those who have no voice, using this platform to spread a political message.

Can you describe the energy and mood you wanted to convey in this track?
On one hand, it’s a very aggressive and hard topic, so I wanted to include hard bits and strong takes throughout the track. On the other hand, visually — about eating pussy — I imagined a very high-class restaurant, so I also wanted the softness of violins, piano, and a classy environment as a contrast. Imagine sitting in this elegant restaurant, being served hot pussy, with live violin players in the background… That's exactly the vibe I was aiming for.
What challenges did you face while producing this high-energy track?
I wanted to create a track that's fun/funny but also political. Combining these two things was definitely a challenge. I wanted to make 'Chez Moi: Eat Pu$$y Not Meat' my vegan manifest and the new lesbian anthem - of course, everyone is welcome and highly encouraged to listen and stream. Watch the video! It was fucking expensive!
How does humor and camp influence your artistic expression?
Since they told me on Drag Race that I’m not funny, humor now influences everything I do! Which is super interesting, because I’m fucking hilarious - they’re missing out. Maybe my humor is just too smart, haha!
But seriously, both humor and camp are central to my artistic expression. One of my biggest talents is creating a highly polished and unique visual identity, and I love combining that with humor!
