I did, I did, I did, I did, I did

Or Crystal, or Lana. Say my name again. Um, great question, my love
0:14
I cannot wait to find out. that's a good question i loved crystal envy's quilted runway the like red with the cream puffer
0:37
it was giving me money expensive fabulosity arrietty's lionfish literally i just paint me
0:45
and throw me in the ocean. I'm ready. Shady question, but you know what
0:50
I'm going to give the Golden Boot Award to my beautiful sister Joella because it was the best worst
0:56
You know what I mean? It's just so iconic. And I think that's the runway look
1:01
that represents season 17. Her mattress, I didn't even need to tell you, it was the mattress look
1:04
That look is the look of the season. You will never not think of the mattress
1:09
when you think of season 17. So Joella has created a historical moment
1:14
Shout out Joella. What were you thinking when you saw her in that? You know what
1:19
I don't, I was watching her walk around in her underneath outfit for the longest time
1:23
So I was like, is this her runway? Like a little underneath one? And then she pulled out the big thing and I was like, oh
1:29
She really put this on the bed and said, girl, I'm winning drop racing this. And I live. And I live
1:34
Joella, are you okay? JoJo. JoJo's sister. Are you okay? Joella. The mattress
1:41
I so sorry JoJo You know what you did girl I think she knows too And Corey you barely got lucky because it could have been you but Joella she beat you with the mattress Joella
1:52
And that's what everyone... Iconic, but worst. Oh, my God, so much
1:57
There was a lot of gaggy eliminations. There were people that I thought would be there a lot longer
2:03
and they were out the door, honey. So I was like, oh, nobody is safe. Lucky Stars, for example
2:09
I think that she is such a brilliant queen and she has an amazing vision and aesthetic when it comes to drag
2:16
but you know it just goes to show doesn't matter how fierce you are
2:20
a drag race is you can slip up one time and that could be the end honestly to see myself process and handle things
2:29
and learn in real time that's kind of gaggy I never thought I would do that and or feel some type of
2:38
like calming from that you know what i mean it was soothing to actually see that and say
2:44
okay yes like i there's nothing wrong with that i love you you know like it's that meant a lot
2:50
i think watching like because i'm not a shy person i'm very aggressive in like how i approach
2:59
myself when it comes to other people but watching on the show i did see myself very like closed off
3:05
sometimes and I don't realize that I come off that way sometimes and it made me learn a lot about
3:12
just like bringing those walls down because in a lot of the spaces that I'm in it is a safe place
3:17
because I mean and you don't need to have those walls up and joy is contagious so you should be
3:22
spreading it as much as possible oh my god my facial expressions I have a lot of them and I don know how to control them and the world knows my face before I know my face The world knows what I thinking before I know what I thinking Yeah I learned that Yeah Well before getting on Drag Race I did play Dunkey and Shrek about three times
3:43
So I had like Eddie Murphy in my bones that way. But growing up, I was a huge Nutty Professor fan
3:50
Norbit, Shrek, and I kind of just put all of those in one and just made it my own
3:54
Oh my God. Well, it wasn't my first choice. My first choice was Jennifer Kudlidge
3:58
but she's been done so many times on the show even though I probably would have been the best one
4:02
it's been just done so many times I picked Miss Bigfeet because I thought it was so interesting
4:07
that there was this character that we didn't know anything about but she had like one nude picture online
4:11
and like that's all we know about her I was like there's so much to play with there
4:15
and yeah I created the whole character from scratch and I want to do more with that character
4:20
it was so much fun doing it I mean the whole time I was like f*** my life somebody kill me
4:24
I don't know It just, it all went blank, honey. There wasn't a single thing left other than you know who to my right and you know who to my left
4:36
So it was just a fog, a fog. But I actually got a tattoo
4:42
You can't see it right now necessarily. But they said we flipped for your flop
4:45
And I mean, my God, I had to get that tattooed on me. Well, I knew for the Lollapurusa, we would simply be walking on the stage
4:54
And I was thinking about how I would look on that stage. and then for some reason, Dochi's Tom Brown look when she was holding that Grammy on that
5:03
stage is kind of like burned into my memory and I just thought it was an iconic moment
5:08
to see her in that crazy lovely outfit standing on the stage so I kind of just wanted to do
5:13
the same thing. I wanted to feel like Dochi and I did Not the messy question I would probably pick the song to be honest Because i think if i felt comfortable in the vibe of the song then i could take any of them oh my god the song
5:28
absolutely i think it's kind of a cop-out to choose a competitor this is the craft store's
5:34
finest um craft creative glitter and we used um adhesive that you use to stick clothing on with
5:45
This is a new trick. We didn't do this for the actual promos. We did something a little bit more stuck because we were getting in water
5:52
So this is a little bit quicker, a little bit easier, and a little more breathable. Oh, my God
5:56
Sharing the stage with her opened my eyes so much about being on Drag Race
6:00
I mean, I was always terrified to walk the runway. It was always one of the more nerve-wracking parts
6:04
and watching him just go down the runway with no fear and just talking to RuPaul in his, like, glamatonian vibe and fantasy
6:15
I was like, why am I so scared of this stage? If, like, if my dad can do this and just do it with love and do it for me
6:22
why can't I do it for me? So I only had one more runway after that, but I felt like that one was the most sickening one, girl
6:28
Well, I think she's going to start her own tour. Sassy Star takes America
6:33
She wants to come with me everywhere. She wanted to be here tonight. She couldn't get off work, sadly
6:37
So, mom, I know you're watching. I love you so much. But she is my everything
6:42
She's my world. And we got to share that experience together, which I'm the luckiest little gay boy ever
6:49
It felt great, but I really wanted five. I did. I did
6:53
Once I got to four, I was like, well, maybe I could squeeze in one more. Well, maybe the crown will be your fifth whip
6:57
Yes, I'm a greedy
