for my stage show back in,
was it last year or a couple years ago?
And I swear to God, every night you introduced yourself as
Alexis Thunderstorm 500.
And I laughed every single fucking time.
Every single time. It was just so great.
I love a drag name on a drag name.
Alexis Thunderstorm.
500.
500.
I love that.
It's really good. what kind of recording device
do you use remotely oh my god what is this okay it's like there's a here i'll show you it's like
a micro it's a microphone we are talking to one of the world's premier yeah drag recording artist
drag podcast artists oh that's right. For Race Chaser.
And those whores actually get in drag.
So if you want to listen to some quality content.
Do you really?
Do they get in drag?
They do sometimes.
I see the face there.
I saw you guys at Bianca's poolside in drag.
Right.
I mean, as far as the listeners are concerned, yes, we do get in complete drag.
Head to toe.
Would you like to describe your look today?
Well, yes.
I mean, it's hard to describe.
I guess these are barrel curls on the top.
It's sort of like, yeah, it's like a very high barrel curl.
I have a lace front and it's also a lace back.
You can see.
The sides too, I see that.
Yes, the nape of the neck is also full lace.
The kitchen lace kitchen.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Well,
congratulations.
And it was bold of you to wear a steel bone S&M corset.
Those fetish heels that you can only sit in.
Right.
The Violet Chachki fetish heels.
The commitment to glamour is very
inspiring thank you so much people people have harassed us for like why don't you guys get in
drag for the podcast or they just want to videotape it yeah but i just feel like since there's multiple
versions of us in drag on youtube every single week yeah give your boner a arrest yeah rubbing the skin off i was gonna say it needs a little bit of relief um
do you how long have you been podcasting for miss thunderstorm i think it's been two years
we've been doing it two years yeah two years it's such a great pod i love listening to you guys
thank you uh well i started listening when you guys were originally like full-time doing drag
race recap yes which was so fun because nobody like nobody really yeah nobody takes the piss
out of it more than willem and no one's more religious about it than you are so there's a
really good push and pull yeah um now tell me do you guys you like sort of went off the um
you kind of go off the rails in terms of like the timeline, right?
Like you don't cover each season.
Do you go off?
Do you ever go off?
Do you ever pop off at all?
Sis, we go off, sis.
We go off, sis.
Do you ever snap so hard that you have to pop off?
Does your wig flew the chat?
We started out, and I guess we must have started it in the off season, which now there is no Drag Race off season.
It's just like, but we started out and we started from the very beginning, season one.
And we were like going along and then like a new season aired while we were doing that.
And we were like, I was like, oh oh man i wish we could talk about that season
right it's happened all these other people are doing podcasts about it i wish we could talk
about and then we were like why can't we do it like we can do whatever the fuck we want so yes
so now when the when the current season comes on we we switch over and talk about it i think that's smart because that's what
people are gonna remember the most yeah i remember highlights of older seasons if i was a normal
person of course we know like everything about those older seasons but oh yes it's like sports
center it is very sports center yeah yeah and you know what Do you ever get this? Like people commenting about the, they're like,
oh,
too much drag race,
like too much oversaturated.
I was like,
there are five golf channels.
Do you know what I mean?
I used to watch seven seasons of a show.
I didn't like to see one gay kiss.
Yeah.
What show was it?
Don't watch it.
Yeah.
Don't watch it.
I'm going to say who it was.
Monet exchange tweeted the other day.
She was like, I already feel drag race fatigue or something. And I said, whore, don't watch it. Yeah, don't watch it. I'm going to say who it was. Monet X Change tweeted the other day. She was like, I already feel drag race fatigue or something.
And I said, whore.
Don't watch it.
Miss whore.
Miss whore.
That's so funny.
But the fans love to do that, too.
I tried to call her to call her out, and she didn't pick up.
So, Monet, I am formally challenging you.
What is it?
Martha, take it easy.
Wait, who's the first?
Oh, Patty, don't start. Patty, don't start. Martha, take it easy. Martha, take it easy. Wait, who's the first? Oh, Patty, don't start.
Patty, don't start.
Martha, take it easy.
Martha, take it easy.
Martha, take it easy.
That also works.
Patty, don't start.
No, it's true.
The only time I feel like there's too many is when there's one season a year,
you do as a viewer get very much more invested.
That's true. Versus like, I'm have to learn swedish to watch the season you know but that's like if you only have one meal a day
then it tastes delicious that's not you know what i mean like you can go to five or six stores
for just one you've got a big store it's very true and And I think that the drag race fandom is capable of handling two seasons at once.
These are people that can take four loads a night.
Yeah.
Girl.
We're capable.
We're totally capable.
And it's kind of an embarrassment of riches.
It's a fun thing to complain about.
Maybe that's why people say it.
Oh, I know.
Girl.
Girl, bye.
Gay people love to complain, period't you think yeah a hundred percent
patty do gay people also love they're like representation and then they get it and they
hate whatever it is oh not that bad though oh yeah oh yeah we hate it yeah um so alaska thunder
fun you were were recently featured.
I don't want to put you on the spot or make you feel uncomfortable,
but I just want to say your body is so insane.
So we did a music video together, come in Brazil,
and there are so many shots of you're posing in this leopard print dress.
Yeah. And I just can't really get the proportions of your body in drag are so, like, crazy.
Thank you. It's like, it's like almost grotesque.
It's like, it's.
Here's how I feel that you, like, I remember one of my first Drag Race gigs.
Do you remember me,
you and Tammy Brown doing New Year's Eve in Portland,
like six years ago?
I do.
I remember it well.
Our dressing room was the hallway.
A hallway.
Yeah.
And I remember watching Alaska,
who's obviously so famous to me at the time,
changing out of a suitcase in a dark,
wet hallway.
And I was like,
oh,
this is it.
This is what we're aspiring to.
But I had never seen somebody so little pad so big.
And like, I mean, it's a two hour glass.
How like how long have you had that shape?
And does it change ever?
Well, you know, I mean, it's incredible.
It's incredible.
I've just sort of always been built this way.
And, you know, I just it's I just eat, you know, I eat healthy.
And it's just natural, you know.
No, I find that a large ass is comforting to people.
I don't know what, like, audience-wise.
And, like, I've recently really gotten into Selena and
I've been like going and watching her like old performances and like her interviews and everything
but like something about that sort of like it's your seat is very like grand and like verbose
it's comforting. And physically comforting
because you're sitting on pads.
I was going to say,
if you ever,
you won't break a tailbone
because you'll get the padding
if you fall.
Yeah.
Which happened to me.
I'm very grateful.
Drag queens really could be
crash dummies.
Yeah.
We are a lot of times.
I could be a Jennifer Coolidge
stunt double.
Have you broken a bone
in drag?
In drag?
No.
Have you?
No.
Have you ever broken a, have you done a shangela full femur
snapped out of the skin never done that fracture i don't really do enough to warrant a broken bone
if you if some i will say if if you you or i she does splits but if you or i broke something i
think people go doing what doing what exactly oh falling off the stage yeah have you ever taken a great fall up there on
the stage oh many many times is there enough for a compilation i don't know probably they're all
out there but then really have you like eaten shit like this one has i mean she really ate shit
like hands both hands in the air both hands wiggling yeah the problem with that is that the
like you fell into the darkness like when you fall on stage then you can just sort of like stay down
there and continue doing your thing but like you fell into the orchestra pit and disappeared you
had no way of recovering both my shoes fell off and it was like a five minute mix and they fell off 30 seconds in
so then people tips me grimacing like oh you know uh i wasn't hurt i was i was embarrassed and
scared but you know who else had a great great fall uh in drag have you obviously the the battle
of the seasons one oh yeah jinx but the other good one of Jinx is her and major scales.
And she's like,
here's to the ladies in drag.
And she throws out her arm and hits the drink out of majors.
Oh no,
no,
no,
no,
no.
Yes,
yes,
yes.
And then she eats shit.
And then I love you Jinx,
but she turns on him so fast on that stage.
She's like,
would my piano player get out of here before he ruins the show?
And I'm like,
Oh my God.
Yeah.
I haven't seen that one.
It got ugly. It got really got ugly but you know what though i get it falling in front of people and she's singing live yeah
that's humiliating i think it was at west five it looked like west five
she said i'm not gonna make a joke out of this i'm not gonna like laugh it off i not going to make a joke out of this. I'm not going to like laugh it off. I'm going to viciously attack my piano player and blame him.
Because I think it was his fault.
Yeah, she should have looked at it.
By the way, I think he was presenting her with a drink, like a full drink.
Yeah.
Which, you know, that's where he crossed the line,
trying to help her and keep that woman hydrated.
How dare.
So can I ask, when did you know you were beautiful?
Oh, yeah. This is called the bald and the beautiful.
We're bald and you're beautiful.
And since you're not bald...
I know how dare I have hair. It's really...
Honestly.
In 2020?
The audacity. How dare.
So, you agree.
So, you think you're beautiful.
So, you think you're really beautiful.
Or when did you start to feel beautiful,
in or out of drag?
Um,
no,
the first,
it's,
this is,
I was at Burning Man
and it was the first time
I ever went to Burning Man.
Many,
many years ago.
And I was like,
and I went to Burning Man
and I was like,
I'm gonna,
I'm not gonna bring drag. I'm not gonna, I don't want people to call me Alaska. Man and I was like, I'm not going to bring drag.
I don't want people to call me Alaska.
I just want to exist outside of drag because drag takes over your life.
And I was trying to not do that.
Then, of course, as soon as I was there, I was like, okay, let's get into it.
Did you bring drag?
No, but I was staying with Comfort and Joy, which is a camp which is all fairies.
So drag was just everywhere.
There were just like boxes of it.
So like I found this Brown hair and I used my,
my,
my own hair in the front and then added this Brown hair to it.
And we ate Molly and we were riding bikes around the playa at night.
And I stumbled into this,
um,
this tent that was selling true mirrors and a true mirror is like
it's kind of like a shadow box almost and then there's two mirrors
that meet at a perfect angle
and so it's a reflection of your reflection
so you're seeing yourself how other people see you.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
So it's a little scary and a little weird.
Like when you move to the left, the reflection moves to the right.
Like it's really weird.
And I looked in this true mirror and of course I was on Molly's.
It was really twisted.
And I was like, Oh my God,
I'm so beautiful.
And I had never,
you know,
like I,
I had never really had that thought or that notion tangibly before that
moment.
I love that.
Wow.
Burning man of all places.
I know.
Yeah.
Do you identify as a burner? No. And I, I love that. Wow. Burning man of all places. I know. Yeah. Do you identify as a burner?
No.
And I love it.
I love the sentiment of it.
But the porta potties, I went a few years ago with Willem and Courtney.
And we had a great time.
But I was like, I think I just need plumbing.
Like I can't.
I'm married.
That is my Burning Man.
Seriously.
My Burning Man is like a bathtub.
Like a hotel bathroom is my Burning Man.
Right.
I know.
I can't imagine getting in drag like without like a proper shower and then.
Air conditioning.
Dust and shit.
Oh my God.
It's rough.
Crazy.
And it. Yeah. And people fucking and shit. Oh my God. It's rough. And people fucking and sucking.
Pardon my French.
People fucking and sucking
covered in dirt.
Covered in dirt and dust.
Mad Max, Waterworld, pussy.
Dookies.
I can barely put contact lenses
in my eye at Burning Man.
I can't imagine like getting fucked
at Burning Man.
I cannot.
And they're doing it.
But they do it.
They do it.
Pregnancy scares. I had a pregnancy scare at Burning Man. I cannot. And they're doing it. But they do it. They do it. Pregnancy scares.
I had a pregnancy scare at Burning Man.
No.
That's not true.
Thank you for clarifying.
Yeah.
I was looking
at Christmas specials to watch with my family this week for Christmas and I was like at Christmas specials
to watch with my family this week for Christmas

Bonnie Cunt.
There's such a commitment to have some of these really profane names.
I guess you would know, huh?
Yeah, do you ever, I mean, I'm sure you have to like kind of adjust, or not really.
Do you have to adjust your uh name for marketing purposes it's very it's it's like
those memes where it's like this is me on linkedin this is me on facebook it's like on twitter i'm
alaska thunderfuck on facebook i'm alaska 5000 um and uh and then there's like alaska thunder fun
there's just alaska there's like you get on on parlor you're beth
hansen right yeah parlor isn't parlor like the republican facebook yeah beth hansen from joliet
illinois should we join parlor i have thought about what about a mass what's the what's the
opposite of exodus where we all show up somewhere? Crashing. Yeah.
A mass infiltration of parlor,
a bunch of the cross dressers. Like we should turn that into our,
like our thing,
our drag my space.
Yeah.
I,
yeah,
but you know what though?
Why can't we just hang out?
I just want to hang out.
I just want to hang out and have coffee.
So you did, do you guys want to talk about come, come in Brazil? I want to hang out. I just want to hang out and have coffee. Do you guys want to talk about Come in Brazil?
I want to because I'm telling you I'm not over this body thing.
The body.
The body is incredible because you have this waist that's so thin.
But you have very broad shoulders.
Thank you.
You're not a petite little wisp of a thing.
You're quite tall.
No, I'm a giant.
And you have like the supermodel body.
I mean, it is wild.
It's so wild.
That's what Jade Jolie says is them shoulders need to match them hips.
And I learned that in like art classes, like women typically have their shoulders
and their hips match in proportion.
So like actually I have to kind of pad wide
because I do have broad shoulders.
So in order to just like balance the whole picture,
she does need to like have a wide set.
Especially since you show your arms all the time
arms and shoulders you give really good arm and shoulder that's so nice i mean i hate showing my
arms it makes me uncomfortable but the ventilation is it must be so amazing and you have great skin
do you tan yes every day fantastic i like, it's winter right now,
so I have, like, one sliver of light along the side of my house
from the moment of 11 to 11.30.
So that's my tan.
Beauty-wise, what is, like, what is the Alaska Thunder Fun 5000 regimen?
What does it consist of, of like on the face area?
Do you wash your face with soap?
I,
um,
no.
Do you know Willem uses bar soap on her face?
That tracks.
That's not surprising.
That tracks.
That's not surprising.
That's wild to me.
I use like a thing that my,
I have a facial guy and,
uh,
integrity skin care. I, i do you like have you gotten
the vampire facials and all that stuff no but i have a facial guy like when the world used to be
like a thing i used when i was in san francisco i would get facials from integrity skin care my
friend brandon works there and um he does really great stuff and he does like um the have you ever had your nostrils
waxed oh we did it in beauty school it's pretty crazy what is that what does it consist of it's
tell them yours he puts hot wax on a little stick like a popsicle stick and puts it in your nose
lets it set and then yanks it out and it pulls out every single last hair.
And then he shows it to you and it's like a little cactus.
It's crazy.
But wait, isn't it like, don't you have to watch out for ingrown hairs inside the nose
with the waxing?
Have you ever heard about that?
No.
It's pretty sick when they do it.
I've never had it done to me.
It looks like it hurts so bad.
It's probably just a quick...
Yeah, it just feels like a sneeze.
It's fierce.
Yeah, it would make your eyes cry for sure.
Oh, for sure.
Yes.
It's amazing.
I want the ear thing.
You know what I mean?
They do that thing, they light it.
What do they do?
Oh, the ear candling?

in my ear and light it.
Have you ever done that?
I don't understand it.

Oh my gosh.
Well.
We are quizzing you.
I don't know why I, just music, say in general.
There's three solo albums and then Jeremy and I did an album and then I did the album with the AAA girls.
So that's like.
Oh, you did a whole album.
We did.
Yeah.
Okay.
You have the best music. I mean, it is fantastic.
It's so good.
It's so good.
And it's funny because like so on on my ep it was um you know featuring
trixie mattel you did one sentence and then featuring alaska and you sang the whole song
yeah so thank you for that all the comments were like i can't believe she has a feature and she
said one line from silence of the lambs like and what yeah so good your music is so good and all
your videos some of them are five plus years old. They look like they were made yesterday.
Like they're just, they're amazing.
So good.
Can I ask?
I mean, I know it's old to you probably.
The video for Your Makeup is Terrible is so good.
And the video for This Is My Hair is so amazing.
Yeah.
Just your videos are so great.
There was a horse in that, wasn't there?
There was.
We got a fucking horse.
So wild. Oh, we were in the, wasn't there? There was. We got a fucking horse. So wild.
Oh, we were in the video for the tea.
The tea.
Yep.
I remember that.
That continuous shot, that tracking shot.
What a production that day.
One shot.
It was wild.
Thank you for being in it.
That was...
I flew from Provincetown to come in and do...
Oh, I'm in it for two seconds doing this.
That's it
And I felt so included and
I mean if we're being gauche Alaska also
You paid us
Yeah that was very nice
Yeah the girls
Paying the girls in this economy
Well these were different times we all had jobs
Today would she pay us I don't know
She'd be like
Definitely not that was such a fun little shoot it
was like in that little warehouse kind of space i want to do more music videos like um do you like
making music videos no i don't either it's rough did you alaska do you like making videos rough i
like it's having music videos yeah i like having them. I like planning them. Yes, I wish making them felt
like watching them at the end.
When it is what you want and you watch it, you feel like
that girl. But when you're making it,
you're like, I'm an hour in and I already sweated off
everything. Yeah. Although our
shoot, the Come and Brazil shoot was really
like pretty leisurely, don't you think?
It was spread out over two days.
Yes.
Yes, which is always love.
But like it was leisurely for me, girl.
You were.
I mean, you had fucking prosthetics glued on your face.
Oh, but that's that's fun, though.
You just sit there.
She did.
You.
They were pumping liquid.
I thought that was.
They were.
They were pumping liquid into the prosthetic on your face.
Pumped.
Pumped.
Honey, pump.
Honey, pump.
Pump it like a trumpet.
Oh, my God.
Somebody commented on it.
I just did this comedy video with Michael Henry,
and there's a few comments that are like,
well, Miss Trixie's getting fully pumped and tucked.
I guess it works.
I haven't had anything.
What are they talking about?
They think my face looks like I got a bunch of work done.
Wow.
I was like, all right, the new getting work done is getting nothing done and insisting
that you, I just got a little.
Leave them guessing because you did nothing and you're like, I just got a little.
Would you go, would you get the full yank?
Would you get the face snatched off and pissed back on?
20 years from now, the full yank.
No, I'm going to do it early.
I'm going to do it at 40.
I think I'm going to get a lower facelift
because they say for men it's better to do it early
and then it just sort of sits in the right place as you get older.
Yeah, get the full Renee Zellweger.
Get an identity theft.
Unrecognizable. face ID on my phone.
Does it recognize me?
A hundred percent.
And then a tiny little, like a nose job to make your nose like just tiny.
I'm like barely there.
Yeah.
I like when the work is, you haven't improved the person's looks.
They just have changed into a new human.
Right.
So they're not pretty or you're younger, just different DNA.
It's a lateral move. It's a lateral move.
It's a lateral move.
I love that.
I'm on the run.
Well, Kristen Wiig,
I feel like just-
I didn't want to say it.
Oh, why?
Why?
But you said it.
I know.
So Kristen Wiig apparently
had some kind of thing done
in Miami.
She went to the dentist.
That's what I thought.
I said it's veneers.
No, I'm just making a joke.
Going to the dentist
in Hollywood means you got the face snatched off. Sweet. All I could think of is like, okay said it's veneers. No, I'm just making a joke. Going to the dentist in Hollywood means you got the face snatched off.
All I could think of is like, okay, she got veneers.
But I don't know.
I'm not good with like pinpointing, you know.
I didn't think she looked.
First of all, she's so beautiful.
And I didn't think she looked quote unquote better.
I just thought she looked different.
Like lateral move.
Yeah.
And also at 46 or seven, like what's, I mean.
But you know what?
We've talked about it on this show before
with all kinds of surgeries.
If you get what you want out of it,
you better work.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I mean,
if she's happy with it,
great.
But if those Wonder Woman people put her up to it.
I hope they pressured her.
Gal.
Gal Gadot.
Gal Gadot.
I blame Gal Gadot.
How weird is it that Gal,
her most famous role is woman.
Wonder Woman?
Yeah.
But Wonder Woman is so fierce.
I know, but her name is Gal,
and she plays the woman.
Oh my God.
It's so weird.
Do you know what I mean?
I can't believe that.

And we are back with the bald and the beautiful with our guest, Alaska Thunder Fun, 5 million. I am. What to you is like the pinnacle of glamour, beauty, female, feminine beauty?
Who's the one to you?
Who's just levitating to you with beauty?
I love Raquel Welch in Myra Breckenridge.
Girl.
Girl.
That movie made literally no sense. the looks right the face the 60s
look oh my god and may you gotta watch it it's so weird like literally just watch the May West
parts you don't need the rest of the movie just the May West did you understand that movie? I was made to feel uneducated and dumb by the plot.
It doesn't fit in with modern day standards of decency as far as like the plot of the story.
It's like this, this like this.
It's like about this like gay guy who who just gets a sex change in order to like get revenge on the people who like
who tortured
him as a young person and so
it's like that doesn't really
work with like that doesn't
the messaging is a
little off yeah
but Mae West is in
it and she's it's like one of her last
movies and she's like 80 and like
still like fucking room fulls of men and like.
Yeah.
And Raquel Welch, her face and the hair.
The hair, the body, the clothes.
And when somebody makes me want to have brown hair, they are beautiful.
Oh, I know.
I never covet brown hair unless it's like a Lisa Marie Presley.
Sophia Loren.
Girl, yes. One of these days, one of these days we're all going to go brunette. I never covet brown hair unless it's like a Lisa Marie Presley Sophia Loren girl yes
one of these days we're all gonna go
brunette I just know it
I know we're all gonna go brunette
let's do it one day
I cannot imagine
brunette bitch never
one of these days
someday when we do a shot for shot remake
of Practical Magic
though
we are gonna have to do
red hair and brunette
yeah
wait am I Nicole Kidman though
I feel like
I think you're Nicole Kidman
yeah yeah yeah
have you ever done a redhead
oh yeah
I like red
you do
do you like wearing red hairs
Alaska
I understand that
it is beautiful
and I do
she wore it in the video
she wore red hair
in our
for some people it just
makes sense like I couldn't imagine
another color on Jinx yeah
right I could imagine her as a brunette
yeah or like when Ginger
is um when Ginger does
brown hair I'm fine with it but Ginger Minchin
red is like oh that's your hair color right
for sure this is the color that's growing
out of your head yes exactly
oh um what's her face?
Mary Mack.
Oh, yeah.
Red, red, red.
Total red hair.
I understand that it's beautiful.
So, like, I get it.
But I'm also like, I know that Alaska ultimately has blonde hair.
Yeah.
And dark eyes.
Yeah.
That's just who she is.
Yeah.
Do you like wearing dark lips?
No.
I mean, I have a hard time with it.
Dark what?
Dark lips.
Oh, dark lips.
I understand that it's beautiful, but it's not.
But I don't, like, I don't care.
It's got to be a dark eye.
It's got to be a light lip.
It's got to, like, that's just how it is.
You do have that light lip.
I feel this. I think I wear a heavier eye as well i do i do do you ever wear lashes i feel because i wear
i feel because i wear such heavy eyes it's hard for me to put on even a like a red lip sometimes
and feel like whoa i love heavy eyes and heavy lips but you pointed
out katya pointed out something to me like in those big stages though the nudes don't read
like even with the dark line of the nudes don't really read like on a theatrical setting yeah
unless you're doing like unplugged or whatever unless i'm doing like a dark brown liner with
like a glitter nude lip i know that it doesn't really read. Yeah. That's why I just get pumped.
Oh, yeah.
Your lips are pretty awesome.
And you had thin, villainous lips on your season of Drag Race.
Well, I don't.
I think people's perception.
Hey, hey, hey.
No, that's villainous.
I think people's perception of beauty has changed,
and maybe that's why people say
That I have had my lips done
But you know honestly
I think really the world has changed
And so people see me differently
I think your eyes have shrunk
And so everything looks bigger
Well you're tan now
So of course the lips look bigger
Yeah things change
And you know I've grown into my face a little bit and yeah that's what happened to my teeth too people's perceptions just changed
yes this one got lips right before the red scare campaign shoot and you couldn't tell her nothing
mary i love it i love you're gonna get more again yes absolutely. Absolutely. You ready? Good for you.
I'm ready.
I mean, it's very subtle and that's... Yeah.
It's like I...
But it's funny though because I'll look back at pictures before and I'm like, no lips.
That person has no lips.
And I fully have lips.
It's just like...
No lips, who dis?
It's a little bit of that.
It's crazy.
I think like because I draw mine on so big it's never even crossed my mind
yeah because it's like who cares yeah it'd be ridiculous but um oh well can i ask another a
good question why yeah that's a good question why yes we love drag we love other drag queens
what drag queens out there their personal style their look where you're like i want to walk a day in that who do you covet whose closet would you raid oh my gosh i mean how nice would it be to just be violet chachki
for like a day yeah we just had her as a guest and her life philosophies were very inspiring
yeah yeah i would love to look like her but I would not love to wear the clothes.
Do you know what I mean?
Like I wouldn't have to, I wouldn't want to do what it takes to look that good.
Yeah.
Because it's just too painful.
Painful and sickening and always, never the same, always different.
Referencing, not referencing.
Club.
Bus.
No sleep.
No sleep.
And I say again, in case you didn't hear me.
Club.
Another club.
Another club.
And I say again.
I just saw a meme that was like me when Corona's over.
Club.
Another club.
Another club.
I am so ready to go to like Precinct and watch a drag queen and get a little blasted.
Lotto.
It's going to be the Roaring Twenties.
I was just told about this. It's gonna be
Great Gatsby again. It's gonna be
queer as folk, like
the 90s nightlife. I'm gonna
wear a tank top,
fishnet tank top, nipple ring.
I'm gonna do like gay Ken
frosted tips. I don't know
how you frosted tip a bald head, but I'm
doing it. We're doing uh oh my god it's gonna be really good yeah i like that we're all gonna go out
every night for like a month and we're we're not just gonna wear clothes it's gonna be
turning looks because we have so much pent up you know know, glamour. I haven't nutted in nine months.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, Violet's pretty much, who else besides Violet?
Who's the one?
Who's the one?
You could probably fit RuPaul gowns, honestly.
Yeah.
Oh, I know.
I want to steal one so bad.
Which one do you want?
Like, you know, they display them at drag con and we're always,
we always have access to drag con.
Like when they're loading in and loading out, bitch, I could fucking,
I could steal one of those garments and it would fit me and I would wear it.
Yeah.
But if you stole it and then it went missing and then they saw you in it,
would you, would this be like your swan song?
You want to go to prison? You're just like, this is my look.
It'd be a great press day.
It would be a great press hit.
And you return it.
Yeah.
A cat burglar.
And even though you could just grab it at DragCon, I want you to Mission Impossible drop from
the ceiling.
You install lasers to put...
Yes.
You put glass around it just to cut a hole in it.
Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Yeah.
Entrapment. Entrapment.
You guys wear a lot of the same silhouettes.
I used to get costumes from Dallas who makes a lot of your
costumes and she said that your silhouette is
Marge Simpson.
Strapless.
It's Marge Simpson with tall
hair.
You're the Marge Simpson of drag
and I'm here to show people I still got it.
Please.
Marge Simpson. I love that. I mean to show people I still got it. Please. Marge Simpson.
I love that.
I mean, I'm obsessed with your silhouette.
That like strapless, like skin tight.
Skin tight.
Body.
Tons of curves.
And that tiny, tiny, tiny little waist.
I loved your look from the finale of the All Stars reunion.
Wasn't that the bugs?
The cockroach?
The bugs.
Yes.
So cute.
That was great.
And then you were partially burned,
and you call it your galaxy note.
That's right, my Samsung 6 had exploded.
That's amazing.
What a fun reunion that was.
That was actually, it was a little boring.
Just to go back.
It was a little boring.
I know it was a long time for you guys ago,
but All Stars 2 was just the fucking best
season of television on the planet i think it's the best season of drag race ever it is really do
what do you think um i have not gone back and re-watched it so i don't know but i will when
the podcast gets to it i don't know yes your contributions to it are very good your big
reason why it's great yeah it was exciting the cast was
really really amazing it was like we had we had all these great seasons of drag race oh work we
sorry we had all these great seasons of drag race in a row and then it was just like all the best
queens from those seasons all in one place it was was great timing. We didn't know if All Stars was ever going to happen again,
and then it did.
And the first time that format existed.
First time the format existed.
Yeah, the twist.
Yeah.
Y'all wanted a twist.
Were you guys gagged when they pulled that out?
Absolutely.
I mean, I actually naively thought stupidly.
I was like, oh, we're just going to get like-
We're just going to hang out.
No, seriously.
I was like, we'll all be here till the end and we'll get points.
We're going to have old country buffet and put on wigs.
And like, you'll get a marble for each win.
And then at the end of the season, you count your marbles and you get like some money or whatever.
We literally all thought that.
Yeah.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
You guys both really smoked them.
No, I mean, she really smoked.
She really came in there like she was clearing the Amazon rainforest. Just like both really smoked them. No, I mean, she really smoked. She really came in there like
she was clearing the Amazon
rainforest, just like a bulldozer.
You did. We were together the night you
won. Wasn't that the most magical night?
Yeah, it was cool.
It was at Precinct in LA,
which you couldn't really ask for
a better... I won at Roscoe's,
which was also equally magical.
Confetti rained from the ceiling and confetti rained from the ceiling.
And I was like,
I couldn't believe it.
And T-Rex said,
yeah,
it was for when you lost,
but we didn't want to waste it.
Oh my God.
It was so magical when you won.
And then you had that tall,
tall wig on.
Marge Simpson. Marge Simpson. And tall wig on and we had simpson yeah march
simpson and we had to love we had to get that tiara thing or like drop it over the hair like
putting on a condom like a scud missile that's so it's so funny i love that it was really magical
how would you describe your um this is kind of a dumb question but like how would you describe your personal style
in drag and do you have time for style and glamour out like when the drag is off
like your boy self does that ever get any like i um i'm the type of person that could eat like
who could eat the same thing for dinner every night.
And I could literally.
Us too.
Yeah,
absolutely.
I could also wear the same thing in drag for always.
I,
I always feel the most comfortable when it's black plastic and I have
blonde hair and I have dark eyes and a nude lip.
And like,
that's, I, that's just, I feel the most comfortable in that I could wear eyes and a nude lip. And like, that's,
I,
that's just,
I feel the most comfortable in that.
I could wear it every single fucking day.
And I do wear it very often.
Yeah.
I don't know if you're like me too,
but I'll change one thing and I'll be like,
I can't believe I've transformed on this day.
You look exactly the same.
Yeah.
Yeah.
From eggplant to beige.
Aubergines. Right. Like, I can believe girl you've done it again taking risks oh my god uniforms though like in real life and in like yes
i love uniforms yeah do you think it's because we've talked about this i think it's because the
drag queens i like wanted to be like they looked the same all the time so i think i always wanted
to look i want to be like a cartoon, same outfit every day.
Yeah.
Superhero and action figure,
whatever.
Yeah.
Recognizable also when there's so many these days.
Yeah.
That's why I think if you're a kimchi or a Fifi and you're so good at being a
chameleon,
right.
I think it's an uphill battle with people recognizing you unless you're like a
television star,
you know,
cause you could look different every time.
Right.
Yeah.
Jessica rabbit wears the same hook and dress every night. So girl, vision star you know because you could look different every time right yeah jessica rabbit
wears the same fucking dress every night so girl she's about to do what she's about to do
and she's about to show what the other girls should have did
and out of drag i don't know if you try but i always think you look really nice yeah you do
look really like put together um clean concise consistent i wear the
same thing every day i i feel most comfortable in a black tank top and like pants presentation
clean clean talent clean clean let me ask you this as a man will you wear a thong do you think
thongs are sexy on men um i would wear it like for a gimmick i don't i i
wouldn't wear it like as my daily underwear because i would just ruin it and it would just
be covered in shit by the end of the day yeah to ask this woman to wear a thong would be to ask her
to control her bowels and that's just something that's not on the table for her right now. It just isn't going to work out. Or ever.
It's not going to work.
Thongs are making a comeback.
I'm just letting you know.
I'm going to wear that thong.
I want that man to be able to floss before he eats.
Do you like lace panties on men?
I would fuck with a guy in a lace panty.
I don't think I would wear it, but I think it's kind of cute when other people wear it.
I wouldn't request it,
but if I saw it,
I'd be like,
oh,
okay.
Yeah.
I love that.
Cause anything that's like feminizing the masculine male is like a plus.
Especially if he has a big can.
It's big old butt.
And then like,
he wants to get all like baggy.
Or like kind of muscly and hairy with like a lace underwear.
It's very like. I love that.
Ding dong.
Ding dong.
We're looking for symmetry.
We're looking for precision.
Girl, have you watched?
We did an episode of obviously Glow Up on our Netflix show.
And I'm so haunted by that final challenge with the lashes with the balls on them.
Oh, God.
We were just talking about when it comes to buying lashes, if you see feathers, if you see tinsel lashes, if you see little shapes, put them down.
Just black.
Just get a black lash.
Yeah, that's it.
Don't try to.
And why is it the first time any of us get in drag, we want like pink lashes?
That was me.
Why do we all want like blue lashes?
Pink, feather, orange, blue.
It's so, I don't know.
We all thought that was the ticket.
Like, this is, baby, this is me.
It's not nothing of the sort.
A pink party page with blue feather lashes.
Like, y'all can't take it.
No.
Y'all can't take it.
We're at a Rocky Horror in 2006, and y'all can't take it.
Yeah, it is not.
There's not even a pageant tonight but i'm getting a crown i'm winning
they're so gutted that's what's fun about drag though from the second you start you're so bad
but you feel it yeah you don't have to get good to feel it you you know you don't because oftentimes
you don't people never get good oh for five years in ballet i never felt it i was like i'm not good at this
versus like drag you can be bad and be like oh right only one i'm the only woman in the world
right now yeah yeah it's a feeling it's an essence marilyn has an essence can i ask sort
of an abstract i know we're keeping you a while but but I have a question about your music. Okay. How did you invent this?
I mean, I'm not saying inventing a bitch track or like a talk over music, but how did you
invent this style of music for yourself?
Because it really is so fun to listen to.
And even in a club environment, we are screaming and talking.
It's just like so easy to warm up to even if you've never heard it.
Right.
I mean, I don't know.
It's stolen.
I didn't invent it.
It's very like-
Jackie invented it.
Right.
It's very like Jimmy James,
like just stolen from that-
Oh, it's Fashionista.
Right.
You got to have a look.
Give a look.
Turn a look.
I don't know that one.
No one ugly allowed. Fashionista. Everybody line up. I don't know that one No one ugly allowed
Fashionista
Everybody line up
I mean it's literally
Like hi
Did you ever have that as your pre-show music at a drag show
Girl it played in every club
And I was like I want to do a song like that
So I did hi
And it was like this is
That is such a good pre-show song
this is the song you hear at the beginning of the
drag show you know
get ready to tip
is it tip these men
tell us we look
it's a great pre-show song
perfect pre-show or mature song
girl you've done it again
also the drag song that really you can't go to a drag show
anywhere without hearing it is Working Girl by Shangela.
Oh, 100%.
Excellent song.
It's the perfect drag song.
You know what song I absolutely love though?
Pump With Me by Sahara Davenport.
Really good.
It's really good.
The melody is really, really lovely. And it's a great tune. I listened to it yesterday randomly. It's really good. The melody is really, really lovely.
And it's a great tune.
I listened to it yesterday.
It's like randomly.
It's a really good song.
Maybe we should work it into one of our shows.
It's really good.
Please.
It's really, really good.
She's amazing.
Yeah, fantastic.
I just love you.
I love you too.
I just love you.
I saw you last New Year's Eve at the Globe Theater.
You were like one of the last drag shows I saw probably.
And I appreciate you very much that night because you were the only person.
And the first thing you said to me was, you look really pretty tonight.
But you were the only person who told me I look really pretty that night.
And I was in such a, I was so stressed out.
I was in such a mood.
And you really like, you really elevated my mood.
I don't know if you were just being polite or what.
Oh, good.
You looked great.
It really is very nice.
That's why whenever I go to a drag show,
I always tell drag queens they look amazing
because sometimes it bears repeating.
Yeah.
It was what I needed. Like, you know. Yeah. That's very nice of you.
It was what I needed.
Like, midnight on New Year's,
which was, I didn't know,
was about to be the worst year ever.
