Bonjour! Nicky Doll is here to slay.

The queen competed on the 12th season of RuPaul's Drag Race, which ultimately led to her current gig as the host of Drag Race France.

Recently picked up for a second season, the queen is still filled with excitement over the show's success.

"Three years ago you would have told me that a French queen would have been on RuPaul's Drag Race to begin with [and] I would have had a hard time to believe you. But, now that there's Drag Race France and I'm the host of it and we've already crowned the winner, it's pretty insane. I'm so happy and so humbled by it. I'm so excited that people around the world are actually watching, so it's great," Doll tells PRIDE.

While she's thriving in the TV space, Doll is now dipping into the music industry with her latest single "Attention."

"I initially wanted to start doing music before doing drag and then I realized that music is a rich people game. It's hard to really surround yourself with the right team, making enough money to inject it into the passion you have. So I started doing drag because I still have that artistic fiber that I wanted to explore, and now that I've managed to have enough resources and enough people around me that can help me create magic, I came up with my own music and that feels like a full circle moment. Also, as a queen performing other people's art, it feels amazing to finally be able to perform my own. I was really happy about that."

It's safe to say that the French queen has a packed schedule right now. However, she isn't opposed to heading back to the werk room of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.

"I'm open to it. As of now, I am focusing on my art. When I feel like I want to challenge myself again, maybe I will. As of now, I'm really happy with what I'm doing and I'm so busy, so I really don't know where I could be able to squeeze it. Never say never!"

Although new music and hosting Drag Race may seem like dream jobs, Doll exclusively gave PRIDE a tease on a yet-undisclosed project.

"I am manifesting something else. You've seen me on stage performing, you've seen me competing, you've seen me hosting a competition, but I think that I definitely want to venture more into docuseries and do a documentary about art and drag. I am working on that right now and I'm actually flying to India soon to start the first episode of a docuseries that I'm working on. That's the only thing I will let you know. I'm manifesting this project coming to your screen very soon."

Before heading off to India, the queen had to also plug her current partnership with Aspercreme. As a queen on the go, she's encouraging everyone to use the popular product to relieve pain.

"We all know that we've been stuck at home wearing slippers, flip flops, pajamas for years. Now, people just want to go out, have fun, wear heels, and go dance. We actually realized that Aspercreme was a great way to relieve pain. Who better than a queen always at a fashion week, hosting a Drag Race franchise, and always performing on stage to be a spokesperson for this?"
