Harry Hawk's conversation with Sal Virelli about the creation and development of Villinda Vile and other drag personas is the first episode in a series of conversations about gender artistry.
Sal describes a dark past with which he used to build and embellish the characters Linda and Villinda. Born and raised in Michigan Sal has explored community theater, sewing and fashion. He is a polished entertainer and a rising star in the drag community.
Sal's drag persona Villinda Vile entertains at an annual Michigan haunted "house." Sal has taken his self proclaimed, "dark past" and used it as inspiration for scaring the paying public.
You can find Villinda Vile on Facebook and Sal Virelli on Instagram. Sal'sBlack Rainbow Custom Clothing & Costumes is also on Instagram.
