Christine Quinn’s life after Sunset is anything but dull. The former reality star recently appeared on “The Masked Singer,” wrote a book, is committed to her acting and modeling careers, and is living the life of a mom with her 22-month-old son, Christian.
Life is booming for Kristen Quinn after ‘Selling Sunset’!
Quinn, 34, recently stepped out of her comfort zone, donning an elaborate “Scorpio” costume and appearing on “The Masked Singer.” After being eliminated from the tournament on Wednesday, she spoke to PEOPLE about the ordeal.
“It’s basically like vintage Mugler meets alien chic,” she told PEOPLE. “They told me that one of their garments took more time and more resources to make. I thought it was so cool and awesome.”
In many ways, she said, her character in “The Mask” is like her “villain” character in “The Sunset.”
“It’s one of those things that I know I have to do to stand out and be remembered. I think there are so many villains that we love,” she said. “I’m definitely talking bullshit, but I had to. And I think it’s really funny.”
While Quinn says she’s not a singer or performer, she thinks being on the show would be a fun experience and get out of her comfort zone.
“I see a lot of people doing things similar to me; I’m not a singer, I’m not a performer, but I want to do this show,” she said. “I just thought it was fun. It was something that got me out of my comfort zone.”
The former reality star has written a book, “How to Be a B*tch Boss,” which comes out in paperback on May 9. She said the book is a project she’s been working on for years.
“It’s been a great process where people tell me, ‘Oh my god, this is so inspiring. It changed my life. That was my goal when I wrote this book, because I don’t want to write another celebrity memoir ,”she says. “I want it to be relevant material that people can learn from and use the personality traits they already have and make them stronger.”
When the topic of joining another reality show came into the chat, Quinn said, “Never say never,” but she prefers to stick to scripted shows, “where I can show my craft.” Quinn more recently Diving into acting and modeling a lot, which she has done in the past.
“It was my first love besides fashion, because I obviously loved acting,” she explained. “It’s really exciting to see the characters and everything there and the work I can do.”
Quinn, who spent five seasons on “The Sunset,” is still on her old reality TV show and still talks to several of the cast members. She said the show now has a “different vibe” with so many new girls.
“We made an original formula. When you keep introducing new characters, it dilutes what people fell in love with in the first place,” she said. “I definitely think it’s going to be a completely different show and I don’t think that many people will tune in.”
As for Quinn’s thoughts on the show’s longevity, since things have changed so much, she said, “This could be the last season.”
