She appeared on the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars and was founding member of the girl group Xelle. In 2017, she became the first U.S. drag queen to perform in Cuba, lip-syncing to Madonna's "Express Yourself" with a group of local dancers.[1] Early lifeMimi Imfurst (Braden Chapman) was born in Hanson, Massachusetts, and raised in Maine from an early age.[2] In his teens, Chapman experienced homelessness when he was kicked out of his parents home due to his sexuality.[2] He later was adopted by a lesbian couple and started doing drag at the age of 16.[3] Chapman attended Marymount Manhattan College.[4] CareerMimi Imfurst originally went by the drag name Delilah DeMistra, which was inspired by Hedy Lamarr's character in Samson and Delilah.[4] Mimi Imfurst is perhaps best known for her annual Christmas show where she portrays Jesus's mother Mary, for which she appears in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.[5] Despite this, Imfurst's role has been met with controversy. In 2005, the Catholic Advocacy Coalition named her one of the top 10 anti-Catholic people. One of her shows in Times Square was protested by over 600 people.[3] In 2010, Imfurst acted in several Off-Broadway plays, including Boylesque, a parody of the film Burlesque, which opened at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.[6] She also acted in Mayo on Your Breakfast at Tiffany's at the Bowery Poetry Club and Thank You for Being a Friend, a parody of The Golden Girls.[7][8] Imfurst starred in the title role in Rhoda Heartbreak.[9] Imfurst was featured in the web series Queens of Drag: NYC by gay.com in 2010. The series featured fellow New York drag queens Bianca Del Rio, Dallas DuBois, Hedda Lettuce, Lady Bunny, Peppermint, and Sherry Vine.{{Citation needed|date=February 2019}} Mimi Imfurst auditioned three times before becoming a contestant on the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race.[10] She placed high in the first two challenges but was eliminated in the episode "Totally Leotarded" after lifting fellow contestant India Ferrah over her head during their lip-sync.[11] Imfurst was among 12 former contestants brought back for RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars. She was partnered with Pandora Boxx to form Team Mandora, but was eliminated in the first episode.[12] In the show's fifth season, Jinkx Monsoon impersonated Imfurst for the main challenge during the episode "Lip Synch Extravaganza Eleganza."[13] In 2011, Imfurst appeared in an Entertainment Weekly photo spread along with Pandora Boxx that featured Melissa McCarthy channeling Divine.[14] Imfurst also appeared on the cover of Next with Carmen Carrera and Manila Luzon.[15] The same year, Imfurst starred as Rodney in the Off-Broadway play My Big Gay Italian Wedding.[16] In December 2014, an animated version of Imfurst appeared in the RuPaul's Drag Race: Dragopolis 2.0 mobile app.[17] Mimi Imfurst has appeared on Celebrity Apprentice and The Howard Stern Show. Imfurst also performs as a stand-up comedian, having opened for Kathy Griffin and Mo'Nique.[18] In 2017, Mimi became the first American drag queen to perform in Cuba since the embargo.[19] In May 2018, Mimi engaged in ongoing unwanted sexual advances toward several young gay men in the Philadelphia scene that feared they would be blacklisted from the community if they did not comply. She admitted to these allegations.[20] XelleXelle (stylized as XELLE, pronounced excel) is an American pop "girl group", originally consisting of members Mimi Imfurst, JC Cassis, and Rony G. The group first met in 2010 when Imfurst hosted a karaoke bash.[21]For Xelle's first music video "Party Girl," the group started a successful Kickstarter campaign, meeting their goal of $3,000.[22] "Party Girl" was directed by Hilarion Banks and costumes were provided by Geoffrey Mac.[23] "Invincible," Xelle's second single was released on February 14, 2012, with proceeds of the song going to GLSEN.[2] "Invincible" features fan-submitted videos holding signs that deal with victimization and bullying issues.[24] Xelle's music video for "Queen", dedicated to the late Sahara Davenport, featured appearances by Imfurst's fellow RuPaul's Drag Race contestants Alexis Mateo, Jiggly Caliente, Jujubee, Manila Luzon, Pandora Boxx, Phi Phi O'Hara, Raven, Shannel, Tammie Brown, and Yara Sofia.[25] Xelle has appeared on Big Ang and Jersey Couture.[26] Imfurst departed Xelle in July 2013, with an official statement released by the group on their web page August 1, 2013.[27] Discography
