It's a funny story. When Miss Peppermint (born as Kevin Moore) became a known name in New York City's nightlife circuit, people began calling her Agnes off stage. "I never made it up or told it to anyone. So, the Internet kind of assigned it to me," she tells us, as she prepares for her show as part of her maiden India tour that kicks off with a performance in the city today. "I just like Peppermint. And I am trying to get away from the idea that I need to have a 'non-drag' name. It's a challenge because it's not traditional, but I am not a traditional girl," she adds as she clicks her fingers, flicking back a lock of her beautiful long hair and delicately sipping on a glass of cold ice tea, sitting across us in the lobby of a five-star hotel in Mumbai. "Deeelishus!" she remarks.
