Yes, and it's the 100th anniversary celebration of Black History Month. Plus the girls are getting surged and going to CD nails for a little aftercare. Oh, yeah, we'll mind those nailboards. Your letters about being zen at the airport and some Jesse J concert antics. Baby, I want this GOS. Forget about the price tag. I need the GOS. Forget about the GOS. I was born to GOS. Let's go for it. M. Oh. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M. ... events in our lives. Gossip and politics. Let's take a deep dive into the D.I.s. Let's get into some. First of all, Jade, one word, Diva, Jade. Get her Jade and she did. She played the palladium in Hollywood, which is right in our neighborhood. And she blessed the world with what seems like a fierce concert. I wasn't there, but I heard we had a correspondent on the ground. We did. We definitely went into the trenches to see if it's Jade. She performed in San Diego. You're like, I'm on poor, really. I'm on poor. Christiana, I'm on poor. Why? I'm a major journalist. All right. How about Maria Shriver? You're like Maria Shriver. Oh, I love it. I'm a Kennedy. Okay. So Jade was amazing. She's on a North American tour. Right now everybody go check it out. The room was electric. I walked there and I was so happy to be there. And it was just like, we're upstairs. She came upstairs from the stage and sang Silent Disco in the balcony. One of the girls from CatSci was there. Jay Hart was there. Her Hudson was there. Johnny Bujik was there. There were so many people that were fun that were there that were killing it. And we all had a great time dancing. I went with Ms. J.C.O. Day. Of course. And it was just a good old fucking time. The show was, it was my favorite concert that had been to all year. It was so good. She seems to be wearing some cosmetics from this teacher that you took with her. She put on some mug. She's wearing a bit of mug here. She said, concept, she's like, I'm going to underpaint. And then I will also overpaint. And then Stone. She was bedecaled and bejeweled. The mic was on. She had at least four look changes. The dancers were dancing. Everybody loved it. It was just like one of those great times. There were no misses. There were no smoke breaks. It was snappy, honey. Did she sing Angel of My Dreams? She did. She definitely sang Angel of My Dreams. It was like everybody, you know when everybody in a room was singing along. It was that. It was that. And then I went to the bartender and the guy was like, God, it's a good looking crowd. And I was like, yeah, we're faggot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are you new? Get me a, get me a Kovacier straight up and a beep chaser. Did you have any Kovacier and beep chasers at your gigs at the Plaza? What is Kovacier? Is it like a cognac? Yes. Should I start sipping Kovacier? Just like for the camp aspect of it? You know what? I need to wait until I'm with Lux no Arlanda and we need to order this because just for the RuPaul of it all. It is a, it's a premium cognac with the flavors of Jarmac. Jarmac. Jarmac that is. Mm-hmm. Kovacier is a bread of cognac with Jarmac. I have a Jarmac. It's Harmac. It's, it's production is based in the town of Jarmac in the Charente region of France. Oh. And it's the youngest and smallest of the big four cognac houses, Hennessy, Remi, Martin and Martel. Young and small. That's me. Oh, wow. Okay. So petite. So petite. So petite. So petite. So petite. Everybody goes to Jade on her tour. It's North America. It's hitting Canada and then it's in Europe. This show is so great. You do not want to miss it. I'm so glad. I'm so glad. I was not here. How's your grandma's show? Otherwise, I would have been here. Yeah, I was in Palm Springs. We did a show at the Plaza Theater, the newly reborn Plaza Theater in Palm Springs. It was so much fun. It was so wonderful. It was just, it was a family affair. My mom is in town. So she got to come. Matt came. The band was amazing. A bunch of folks from the drag the musical band were there playing and we had a really good time. Did the Groundhog get his ass slapped and see his shadow? Hold on. It was the Groundhog's Day because this used to be like, this used to be a show. Archer was February 1st. So is Groundhog's Day a Monday? It was on Tuesday or Monday, yeah. It used to be a big deal in my life, Groundhog's Day. Like in school, it was like, this is all everyone's talking about. But this year I feel like, is it because I've been in California? Is it because the Groundhog is less important in culture? Are people talking about it less? I think the Groundhog is just doing its own thing now and it's like, it's not going to be woken up by some man pulling it out of bed just to show its whole or whatever it does. I don't know. I took a mental health day. Yeah, I'm really not here for like care. If that Groundhog could still talk if the wizard didn't take away its voice, who would have known what kind of season we would have. But I'm thankful for the summer right now. It is summer in our lives of love. Apparently there are 78 meteorological, oh, I can't say that word, Groundhogs, prognosticators, 78 prognosticators, Groundhogs that determine their prediction for the winter. But Puxitani Phil, punk said, Tony Phil is the most famous. She's the main one. She's the RuPaul of the Groundhogs. She's like, and she has a show that's a competition show for other Groundhogs to figure out how to see their shadow. And do you know where it takes place? The official... The Largest Celebration at Gobblers knob. We need to go next year. We need to go. We need to go. Rob goblers. That's how good sun there's the sun. Pleaser boots on the ground. We'll set up, I'll bring the glory hole and then we'll get this little fucking rodent. What about Nutria, Hobbit, when a Nutria decides what the fucking weather is going to be? Why is it a Groundhog? And wait, isn't it a scam? Isn't it always, he always sees it, like this is it's a joke, right? He doesn't really like, he's never like, some are tomorrow, right? He sees his shadow a lot. Shot every time a round hog, shadow of a ground hog. Can you look up the percentage of time because I think it's a hundred that he has seen in his. One more minute. For sure. Ground hog. See a shadow then he gets back in the ground again. He's going to come up next spring again. These girls, these other groundhogs, I'm very disappointed to hear these other fucking hoas. Groundhogs are out here trying to steal pumps of Tani's gig. Honestly, I'd nice to have a backup and everything, but like you can't have naked mole rats who stay in the ground 365 days a year saying, Oh, I'm going to tell you when you're going to have spring now. No, you're not going to do it. Pucks of Tani. They do. This is Punx of Tani Phil has predicted six more weeks of winter, a hundred and nine times and only forecasted early spring, 20 times. No, she's on the, she's no, she's, she is on scam. She's on the how old is Phil? She's on the payoff list. She's, she's getting tipped out by, um, by, uh, Jack Frost. I don't know who is greasing those wheels, but the agricultural lobby. Although I think they would want it to be summer. I don't, I don't know. Did you watch the Grammys? I, I definitely saw pieces of the Grammys and more pieces, pieces, pieces. Well, I don't, we, I did, uh, just last night. So I was a few days late. I think we should talk about it after this break, but we do have a real spotlight. Drammed Bernard. Oh, yes. Over all of our fine. Let's take a listen and we'll be right back. I care. I know finding good shit is real. Cause it's about some month to look past what's there. I want not that. I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I clean up, shake off the cobwebs and air out the house, get rid of the old and bad and bring on a clean slate, mama.

And I hope you enjoyed Duran's song over qualified because 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, which was founded by Dr. Carter G Woods in 1926, focusing on celebrating, studying and preserving the contributions and stories of Black Americans. Yes, Duran's album is amazing. If you've ever, I saw him live at an event and then after that, I was like, oh, you need to check out his albums. I've seen him live again since then. His Grammy winning song this year was written by somebody in the audience at J-Show 2. J-Heart. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so like he's keeping it real damn gay. His music is so great. And when you go into the room, if he's coming to your town, go see him live, he is like a firecracker comment all over the stage just screaming and vocalizing. And everybody in the room is having a good goddamn time when he is on stage. And I love seeing him win a Grammy because you're just like, ah! He's been a feature on a few K-Tronata Grammy winning tracks for the last three or four years, who's a great artist who is like a gay, not a, who's not Diplo? Who's the one that puts all the females on the tracks and says it's their track but featuring Ann Marie or featuring BubbaBah? David Getta. Yeah, it's very like gay David Getta. K-Tronata. David Getta. Very. Um, his album is out now, check out over qualified. Yes. It's a pop and a half of Grammy on us. Did you have any standouts at, uh, at the Grammys? Well, um, I thought Zara Larson was refreshing. I loved it. Just like vocals, little crop top and some 30 in chair from what Wigs. Wait, when did Zara Larson perform because I didn't see her? Was she at the very beginning? She did. They said she wasn't on the main stage. She was on the satellite stage and I don't know what that meant. Watching it. She's in space. I don't know. Did they show it on the broadcast? I think she was doing it from the Plaza Theater in the Contrara Valley. But was it on the, on the TV show? I can't tell you I did not watch the TV show. Oh, okay. I did see a girl in purple rolling around trying to sing. That's Addison Ray. Uh, and she was giving me a pity girl. She did very much. Her clothes were fierce. Okay. Purple velvet, right? Tied up. Purple velvet, a little ball. She was just walking backstage and doing stuff much like Kitty Girls, Shangela, Trixie, Kennedy, no, you'll sexy. Bobbie hand keeps laying the gay. Math. Yes, she was giving me a pity girl. First show. Yeah. Uh, this also Lady Gaga. She stood out for me. I think that this is a thing, McQueen. Yes, but this shows us a song awarding singing and Addison Ray from what I saw from the playback. I'm not really sure who she is. I think she's a tiktokker who's now attempting to be a musician, but, um, usually this show is, is something that is recognized as singers and she seems more of a performer. Um, she's dressed as Grimmis goes hooking this purple tie dye thing and with, here's how I judge a performance. If you didn't have this, all is hair to flip around, would I still be watching it? And the answer is no. I wouldn't miss Addison Ray. She looks like she's caking a backstage tour. Gaga put a Alexander McQueen lamp on her head and sat in an organ and displayed musicality with robot cameras whipping about. Yeah, I'm more for that than like, oh backstage tour and purple tie dye. Well, here's what I gathered about Addison, okay? He's be gathered. She, the song is very good. Famous the gun is a very catchy, fierce song. That is that it? I don't think that's it. It is a very good song. I don't think she's a vocalist first, but we have had music artists on, you know, the Grimmis, who aren't vocalists first, who have damn good songs. So you know, I defend her right to be there and to do what she does. I don't think she's out here saying I'm the fiercest vocalist on the planet, but she does have, you know, something fierce, fun and enjoyable to offer. Yeah, I guess it's, it is easily digestible programming. Oh, you know who I like. Did you see Justin Bieber's performance? Yeah, I, I don't get it. Like these girls are gluing rhinestones from their ankles to their ears and you're out here in socks and boxers trying to pretend your artsy-fartsy. I thought it was artsy-fartsy though. I don't think it was pretending. I think with everything that's going on in the world, I think that like as an artist, if you're like, I just want to fucking, I don't want to do anything. I sort of get that. He never does. Remember when he started? He was baby, baby, baby, dancing, dancing, dancing. And now she, now she doesn't. She never looks like she wants to be anywhere. She looks miserable. She doesn't. She doesn't hold the door for her wife. There's several times daily. There's several times daily. He doesn't hold the door for her wife. No. He rushes by and then his wife falls in the street. Casualty. I really have. Famous. Famous. Yes. Famous. I feel like no one taught the guy how to be a gentleman. I just, I, and like if you're going to be somewhere smile, smile. But what is there smile about in 20s, 20s, I guess. That people like your music and they invited you there and they want to award you something. I mean, okay, I'm not telling people what to do. But here they are. Well, there goes the podcast. These are recommendations. You know what I want to talk about. Scroll down. Ursula the Sea Witch, the origin story. Michelle the Saj is wearing red hair, deep red hair. There's a new video of her singing Beware of the Storms from the Sea Witch musical. Fear, spits. Yes. Okay. I have a question about this. There was a Sea Witch musical that was happening last year. I think it was at the Elephant South Warke Theater in London. River Medway was in it. I know Victoria's gone audition for it too. I'm wondering if this is that same Sea Witch musical River Medway was Ariel, the mermaid in it. Is there an Ariel in this one in the cast list? I don't know. Alvina Ametta. Her, her Zwata or her like her niece. Where are all the sisters? Arara, aqua, Anita, Adrena. Oh, I thought it was Adrena. It's Adrena on my back. Oh. You're talking about unfortunate, the untold story of Ursula, the Sea Witch last year and River Medway was in it. Yes. So that's crazy. There's another new musical about Ursula. The Sea Witch. It will receive its world premiere for two performances at London's Theatre Royal Dury Lane on March 3rd. The 3pm and 7.30pm shows will feature Drag Race star and broadcaster Michelle Visage as Tanta Hansa. Strictly come dancing winner and the wanted's Jay McGinnis as Eiker. Olivia Nominee and original six cast member Natalie Paris as Evie. Mamma Mia's Mazz Murray as Queen Charlotte. Olivia Award nominee Amy DiBotolomeo as Anna Met and Mulan Rouge's leading lady Natalie Cassanga as Melvina. Where's Ursula? Who's Ursula? Where's Eris? Michelle. Is Michelle Visage not Ursula? Where is the Skullboy? I thought she was young, young, snatched Ursula. Does she have the range? Well, yes. And why are there candles in this promo picture with her? She's underwater. She's a Sea Witch. What is going on here? I will not take these lives. And wearing red hair, she's definitely got an acting wig on. We don't know. This is why we have to see the show because maybe they start out on land before they become sea. Where does is she, Ursula's mother and it's a prequel. I am not sure. Have you ever seen the Little Mermaid stage show? No, they wear roller skates. Ursula has a back story and there's a little kid who plays young Ursula and she's a sociopath and she kills all her sisters. No. And it's like a comedic silly fun song about her poisoning and killing everybody. Like Sierra Miss with the bleach. I personally like this press release about her new musical The Sea Witch. They didn't say drag race. What they said is they said drag race star and broadcaster Michelle Visage. They didn't say actress Michelle Visage. They didn't say singer Michelle Visage. They said broadcaster. So hopefully the cast will be broad. She does a lot of things. Yeah, she does. She does. I would love to see a bootleg of this. So someone go in with your snappled glasses or whatever. Ooh, snappled glasses. Your Google lenses. Should we send to Mishima and there maybe she can do the work boots on the ground. And give us a little bootleg. Thank you, Mugler for allowing me to be one of the hosts of the 2026 conference forever grateful to Misha Iman, the Mugler official conference. She's the host. A national SM. What is SNSM? And NSM. I don't, maybe it's a ballroom thing or a fashion thing, but she's not wearing Mugler in this picture. Oh, maybe it's House of Mugler. Oh. Well, I'm glad that she's hosting. Good. Yes, this is wonderful. Why don't we take a break and we will be all right back after these remarks. And we are back and Miss Jigun is undergoing some elective procedures for everybody's entertainment and her own enjoyment. The rib crack of the century, honey. Yes, I don't know if she, if she went with the, the honey barbecue, I just, I want to know how many dipping sauces she would back. Baby, she wants a baby back baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. 360 BBL. Every model lips. It's, I'm on the back. It's, it's brave of her to sort of document this whole journey and it started with a video where she was like, hi, everyone, I literally hate myself and I'm going to do something about it. It's been very vulnerable and literally must see TV. I can't, you know, I'm very like invested in her journey. She's doing a great job of documenting it. And you know what? I don't, if, if you're out there and you want to get tits on your back, honey, go for it. Like, if, if you want to, if you call one nine hundred detox. If you, if you want to get surge to feel sickning, mama, that's your prerogative and go for it. And you might as well put it on social media and probably it's paid for because she's posting so much about it, right? Or discount? I'm really not sure. The trying to think how, how to say this without insulting the girl. Oh, okay. That's why I start now. I love why start now. Um, just the, I, I, she was like, should I get this done? It was clear she was getting it done. Once I had already been done by the time that's okay. Okay. Well, exactly. I was just like, we don't need to see everything and not, I mean, this isn't you. Oh, hmm. I'm. Have every everybody does their own thing. But if, if you need to break your body and break your bones for content, that's a lot. Like, just be in her. I, do you really want to be, she's doing it for content. I think she's doing the content because it's a deal with the surgery center and they're trying to, they're trying to get more people to do this. She's not just like, hey, let me do this for shits and giggles. No. No, I, no. No, what? I, this is going to sound like it's, it's a trash opinion because it's coming from me. But like, be, be an entertainer. Don't be the entertainment. Do you know what I mean? Like, okay, your life and everything doesn't show whatever the hell you want. But like, there's, when someone wants to be famous, so bad that they, they put up everything and there's nothing left for them. She doesn't want to be a performer. She doesn't like doing drag anymore. She's told me she just wants to model. She wants to be a Gigi good. That's what she wants. So being an influencer and doing all that stuff is, is, is great. But when she's, if she, if the only options are TikTok live asking for universes or cracking your body in half, well, that's your own sort of perspective on your relationship to like a social media presence because. Fame is a gun. A Gigan. Fame is a Gigan. Yes. Addison, queen Addison. I believe everyone has their own sort of philosophy on it. And people are on a different wavelength. Like some people are very like, I'm going to show you everything I'm eating and I'm going to show you every like my bad days and my good days and you know, my, you know, like Courtney act only I see the ugly. Some people want to show the ugly online and that's their prerogative to do so personally. I don't, but I'm also bad at social media. You have to, you have to put shit out there to be good at social media. So you know, yeah, I, I prerogative. I want to get to away from social media. I keep like kicking myself in the face, getting in fights with people. There was an article about a trick scene, Katya show on paper and I was like flipping through the slides on Instagram and I saw like, Oh, okay. Talking about the end of that sad because that show was cute. And then I was like, and they talked about the editors and I was like, they didn't name the editors. I was like, the editors have names. And then a bunch of people liked the comment, but then a bunch of people were like, in the article, they name the editors and they talk about them. And I was like, well, I didn't read the article. I looked at the fucking pictures. In my head, I was like, I was like, well, a lot of those editors just lost their jobs because World of Wonder doesn't want to pay trick scene Katya. What Netflix pays them because they're cheap. So now the people that make those shows don't have a job to go to. So I was just like, I, all I mentioned was the editors. And of course, I didn't read it. And then I was like, I stepped in this myself and then I smear it all over my face. And then I held more attention. And I'm like, look, I have shit on my face. Yeah. So I want to get away from social media. I don't want to be famous anymore. I don't want to, I don't want none of that. I just want to like, I just want to be pulled out of the ground once a year for some top to fuck me and then say, guess what? It's pride. Okay. Go back in your hole. Well, that can be arranged. And see your like or shimtuts. I don't, we take a break. And we'll be right back. It is that special time where we like to get into a cave mode and we go spell lungs. This first message comes from somebody. They're a mom plus gold member and Spotify, rap top 3%. Confirmed longtime listener here, but already from DC. Thank you. Thank you so much. That feels so good to hear. Evan says, I have a friend who lives in Denver and want to see Jesse J's concert last night. His text review of the show, which has been corroborated and confirmed to be accurate by other attendees is something I feel you must be aware of. I would love your thoughts and any stories about wild audience experiences. You've had a concert. Much love. Evan. Okay. So here's a review from his friend girl. It was an emotional roller coaster. Her meds were off. The audience meds were off. Her fake boob slid off in this weird clown jumpsuit. They put her in. She ripped off her jewelry and man was live streaming her on three different phones and driving her nuts. At one point, she just randomly held an audience member's baby for five minutes and seemed to have forgotten she was there for a concert. Another woman held up a sign asking to sing with her, resulting in a disastrous rendition of, I will always love you in four wrong keys. Wait, Courtney was there? The crowd. Why you got it? The crowd inappropriately, woo, woo, at the worst possible times, including her 2015 pregnancy loss and a suicide song that she cry sang parts of. But yes, the climax, Zulin, she told the crowd she wanted Chick-fil-A so that she might shit herself and escape the vibes of the audience. When someone shouted, they closed at nine. She gave the crowd the middle finger and said, fuck it. I'll just sing price tag. Okay. But the music was flawless and she was iconic, 10 out of 10. No notes. Just bring an out of hand. How is an out of hand a mood elevator? This is why you just have to really be aware of who's like sort of whose word you're taking about things because this person just sped. You should see how big the text bubble is on the graphic on it. It's an entire page of paper. They spent an entire page of paper describing horrible. It was terrible. All these things went wrong. And then they ended by saying, it was flawless and she was iconic, 10 out of 10. No notes. Is that facetious? No, they said the music was flawless. It seems like some of these artists should just sing. We don't need to know your opinions on stuff. We already know you perform in the UAE and where they hate women and homos. You eat Chick-fil-A. You don't share your drugs with Jack Queens. It sounds to me like Jesse J is like a vibe. Okay. And she is, she doesn't want to be superstructured about her show just based on what I'm reading here. It sounds like she doesn't want to be superstructured about it. It's not like going to be like every second is like the like hue and then she steps over here. It seems like she wants to be more free and we're freewheeling about it and interactive with the audience about it. And I get it because I'm this way. I really like to sort of interact with an audience. I don't like it being like a huge like there's a fourth wall. So like I do get it. And if someone had a baby and they wanted me to hold it, I would probably, well, I'd be scared to do it. I don't know, I might. That's why I was late. I was doing crowd work and I was a Chick-fil-A looking for out of him. See the Chick-fil-A. I fucking girl. I just know. Let's not eat Chick-fil-A. Let's not. Let's not. Let's not. Um, do you, I, yeah, I, I, I've been there where your titty falls out and you're in the jump suit and you can't, you can only retrieve it through your ankle. It happened to, um, what's, what's it happened to rock banks when he, when he was, when he was doing his, a list of lords. Mmm, a list of lords, boomers daughter. She's got just a dysphoria from that neck. Um, yeah, I, I think wearing a, a banglundan jump suit is great, but you need to get that titty cup sewn in there because otherwise it will make my, my grandia, breast, uh, and you can't do a cartwheel. It'll just fly right out. The next letter comes from Denver from Jay. Mile high, ladies. Hello, Davis, Dole's and dip. Well, the first letter was from Denver too. That's why. Oh, yes, he has concert in Denver. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Was it in a big white room? That's what I need to know. Which, long time listen, long time writer. I've yet to have my message featured. Damn, super. Wow, not cool. Wanted to show you the nails salon by my place, aptly named CD nails. Is this where the dolls are going in Denver to get their nails done? Thought you should be aware for the next time you are in Colorado. Attached is a picture of the nail shop and some other picks for priority boarding. Love you dolls. Jade. Gainer Jade. Hello, Jade. Um, no, but I'm beautiful. I hear all I am. What? We all are looking beautiful. Thorgy Thor, Nina Flowers. Yes. Me. So beautiful. Why I still have this hair too. Um, where some kind of me angry. And then this other picture, she said, you want to see my ass? Just the side view. Let me pull down these pants a little bit. She will tattoo. Good luck. I live. I love it. She is getting her nails done at the CD nails in Denver. I will definitely be going to get my claws and paws done next time I'm in Denver. And thank you for being woman enough to let us know about this. Jade. CD nails girl, we got to go to CD nails. Now CD could stand for many things. Cross dresser. Compact disc. Compact disc. Compact dresser. Come dump. Cross disc. Oh, dump, yeah. Yeah, there's so many things that I need to invest. We need to drag, investigate ourselves. We should bring luscious. Honestly. Yes. Little girl. Yes. You're next message. You're next message. You're next message. You're next message. You're next message. From, from P, Hey race chasers, long time listener, first time messenger. Today I had the joy of sharing one of my least favorite flight experiences with the one and only Alaska Thunder, fuck, 5000. While making my way from New York City, from a work trip in Cali, I clocked Alaska rocking a very incognito all black look while waiting for my connection flight in DFW. I didn't come up and say hi because I never want to invade someone's privacy, especially in settings involving transit and large crowds, trans. With all the other New York City queers on the flight, I didn't want to start seeing, however, the experience we shared on a janky American Airlines flight inspired me to write in for the first time. We waited 90 minutes past our schedule, boarding time for a crew to clean and do a security sweep of the plane that had just made an international trip prior to taking us from DFW to LGA, La Guardia. At one point, the gate agent simply said, we have no idea where this crew is. Our comedy of ours continued after we boarded and then sat on the tarmac for another two hours due to some fuel system maintenance light flashing. I know it was two hours because I was able to watch a full length movie in that time. DFW being the hot mess expressed that it is, we had to wait for a gate to open. Once we had a gate open and the maintenance issue was being worked on, the bathroom was on the plane we're out of service for a while. Then we delayed again due to the pilots reaching their max hours. So we waited for new pilots. And the engine needed oral. A total of four hours later we were finally in the air. My already long 10 hour travel day became about 14 hour travel day. As a performer who's toured, I understand some things happen when traveling. However, I could feel myself fighting those prickly delayed flight feelings of rage, frustration, disappointment. So all of this made me think, what are some of your tips for avoiding the travel day blues when the shit really hits the fan and it seems like there is nothing to be done about it. Any special travel tips, day trips or traditions to keep your cool. Thank you for offering your voices and your platform to share queer experiences and artists. The work you do on the bottom as drag performers is so powerful, I've been a fan of your original seasons of RPDR. For priority boring, see some tasteful news from back when I thought I had the mental capacity to keep an only fans account going while working for survival jobs in the city. Much love just another queer they them in the city. PS, staying anonymous due to the fact that I teach and I work with students of all ages. And I'm a KPS special shout out to one of my favorite New York City Queens, Kiki Bal change. I hope you can see one of her hilarious shows while in the city. Also, team Nini Coco calling it now, she's top form material. Thank you P so much for this letter and for the accompanying nudes that you sent. The skin, alabaster, like marble, the nipples, two of them, balls to dick one, vein, throbbing, ring. Do you remember seeing anybody like this on your flight? No, and that's such a funny thing because I'll never know who the fuck this is because they did come up with a letter. They are showing their face. Like, I will never know who this person is, which is strange, but your description was so accurate. And I'm glad you described that trip. So I don't have to because it was just one of those days where it was just like one thing after another. And one thing you left out was that at a certain point, it had been so long that the crew was, they had done too many hours. So they were like, okay, so we have to find a new, they had to find all new flight attendants and all new pilots, which just was like another thing. So yes, it's one of those days. I don't know. I think the thing I take away from that sort of thing is like it is so frustrating and is so like embarrassingly horrible. But I'm very impressed with as a whole, everybody kept their cool, you know, like on my face. I don't know if I heard something about his newt. As a whole. There's nothing you could do. You're all on the same boat. It's like, yeah, you've got to shut up and take it. If you want to get there, it's not our, it's not our plane, it's not our party, it's not our rules. My travel tips is I always bring ear plugs so I can, I can police what goes into my own ears, crying babies, people, whatever. Smart. I also have like two or three pairs of them usually because if somebody fucking stinks or somebody fart in, because people do. When you're nose, I put them in my nose and that works out well too. I also always don't laugh. It works. I can't imagine. You have to be, you have to be ready and in control. I hold up against my little windows, but I also always bring a book. And right now I'm reading, you had to be there by Ms. Jody Harsch. Oh, yes, it's all about her. Her nightlife escapades and it is a holographic font. Beautiful. I know you love a font. What do you do to control your atmosphere on a plane? Now, are you hoodie up or hoodie down? Because hoodie up, I wouldn't go up to someone, hoodie down, I would go up to someone. And if you ever see me to play, please come up to me because this is what I want in my whole life attention. I am like a bird in a cage. You never lie. You're an airy. And so I wait to put my hood up until I'm on the plane and ready to go to sleep because as soon as I put it up, it's like a Pavlovian response. And I can fall asleep very easily. So I don't wear it up all the time because I'm not, you know, I'm not RuPaul at the airport level. But I think that you're right. I think you do have to have control over what you can have control of. So carry your own water, mama, because you don't know when, because when they shut down the plane like that, it's not like they're going around giving you peanuts, water, you know, crack their jacks, cigarettes, whatever. They're not giving you anything because they're not allowed. So you're just sitting in a chair and you can't really do anything. So carry your own water, carry your own snacks. Have your ear pods carry a charger with you so that you can like keep your devices going and be in charge of your own experience as much as you can. And so I survived by having downloaded a whole bunch of Orange County real housewives, like the early seasons. And I've never seen this show. And so I can really just like consume a lot of it. So it was good for that. Do they lean into the Republican kind aspect of it back then or do they gloss over politics from the old season? I feel like that was the first show. That was the first show, right? Right. Yeah. I feel like as a rule, they avoid politics on that show because I think they, you don't want to know. Because as a viewer, you don't want to know what these women believe politically. And I also think they're not political people. They live in such a bubble that is like they don't, they're really concerned about politics, the way normal people are. Send us your letters. We want to hear from you.
