Now sissy that walk.

[cheers and applause]

Trend alert.

I'm new to a lot of things.

I ain't new to stunning.

I always joked about running away and joining the circus,

and I basically have. [laughs]

Category is New Jersey/ Atlanta housewife.

♪ She's a super queen ♪

Naomi's such a whore. I love it.

I don't need a lot of communication.

I just need to, like, there to be a plan.

Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

Thank God.

Oh, send me home!

♪ And if I fly or if I fall ♪

This better be a good light, Mr. Jasper.

You are filming a woman who does drag.

Now this is how you do drag.

Okay, gotta go before they yell at me.

Hi, everybody. I'm Plastique Tiara

from Season 11 of RuPaul's Drag Race.

For me, finishing eighth

and not having the opportunity to move further,

they don't really get to see what's behind the camera

or what wasn't shown.

I was just fearful of, you know,

not having the opportunity to showcase my talent.

But somehow, some way I got on this tour

and somehow, some way I gained the attention

that I've gotten, so I'm obviously very grateful

and very lucky to be here

among all the legends from Drag Race

I've looked up to for so long.

Oh, my God. Plastique.

She is so impressive for how young she is.

If I could perform like Plastique

and look like Plastique and just fucking be Plastique,

I'm wanna skin her and just wear her alive.

It's me. It's me.

I'm prettier. [laughs]

Here. Not here.

Because you have the homophobic lighting on me.

I don't know what kind of witchcraft she has going on,

but, bitch, I want some.

The hair's just never in her face,

whether there's a fan or not.

The eyelashes are always on.

She's never fidgeting or fudging with anything.

She has, like, an aura that, like, blocks everyone off.

She's so beautiful and so funny and kind

and just a little angel.

How dare you put her next to me.

She's not just pretty.

She dances, she hair flips.

She's, like, such actually a sweetheart

and funny.

Ooh, that's what she wants so bad.

You wanna fuck me in my ass, huh?

She's one of those people that, like, just works well for her,

or at least drag does.

I don't know. Her wigs clean themselves.

I've never seen her do anything,

but I know she does it all herself, so...

[cheers and applause]

Clean women washes their lace.

This is what you do when you have a human wig.

Hi. I'm the boring one of this tour.

Oh, shit. You didn't watch Drag Race, didn't you?

Because she's polite and pretty.

[laughs]

Polite and pretty.

And for some reason, that equates boring.

Something to be said about people

who have, like, good manners and can look good, you know.

[all laugh]

Let's rehash old drama.

[all laugh]

Al the time. [laughs]

'Cause the other queen can never look like this.

-Wow.

Keep her billing.

Right when I thought she was well mannered.

No, just kidding.

I'm a sticky rice queen,

but I'm a ticking sticky rice queen.

Sticky rice, you're attracted to other Asians.

You're Asian, but you're attracted to other Asians.

What was the other one?

Potato queen is when you're Asian,

but you like white people. Right, Kim?

A dairy queen is a guy who likes to suck on nipples.

I learned that on the Tyra show.

-Really? -Yeah.

A lot of people don't know my story,

or if they know, then they don't really believe it.

I come from Vietnam, a very poor family.

But we were like middle class

among the poor families, you know.

We still had a toilet. We still had a working toilet.

My grandparents actually raised me

when I was in Vietnam.

My mom, she never understood me, I never understood her.

Growing up in Vietnam,

it was basically in a bubble, in, like, a fish bowl.

You can't really imagine how it was like back there.

I didn't even know, like, drag queens were a thing.

I didn't know American music was a thing

or I didn't know, like, being gay was possible.

That little feeling on the inside

of me knowing something, I was different,

it was pushed down because of everything

I was taught growing up.

Boys have to be boys, girls have to be girls.

If you are in between,

then you end up bringing shame to your family.

And that's the worst thing you could do

in our culture I feel is to disappoint your family.

I've grown up very alone.

My feelings are always, like, getting pushed down.

I just learned to please people, you know,

throughout my whole life.

Just, like, worry about what they're going to think

or worry what I should do to make them like me better.

But now, being surrounded by all these people.

Naomi just always tell me,

to be, like, just don't worry about what people think.

Worry about what makes you happy.

So...yeah.

She's...she's great. [laughs]

Ready.

Six, seven, eight.

Sorry. [all laugh]

This is my first tour ever.

Like, first big tour that I'm away from home,

so it's a lot of adapting.

Okay. And then--

It must suck to remember.

We have to make do with what we have.

Yoga mat.

I will demonstrate how to de-stress

in these stressful times.

And what you do, you spread the mat out,

bend over like this, and lay down.

Relaxing on tour 101.

This is how we keep ourselves sane.

This is not how you fold a yoga mat,

so don't publish this.

We all get along pretty well.

It's not a Drag Race environment

where you have to fight for attention.

[laughs]

It's more just a sisterhood, and we're all friends,

so we kind of just-- we vibe over one another,

we hang out with each other.

Plastomi in your area.

Plastomi in your area.

What's the area code in St. Louis?

69, 96, 69.

It's so funny, because I think that I have, like,

taken on the big sister role for Plastique.

Yeah, she always told me, like, I was like you.

She also got on Drag Race very young.

[cheering]

-Let's go! -Yah-hah-hah-hah-hah!

She never knew how to say no to people

or, like, necessarily, like, stand up for herself.

Look at this. Naomi's a true, true friend.

She's like my one sister on the playground.

I'm the one who's always wounded and injured.

She's, like, bitch, get tougher.

No, I just always want to protect you.

-Aw. -She's too sweet.

She taught me to just pick and choose your battles

and know your values and just be a bad bitch about it

and I love it.

Cash? That's your name, right? Cash?

She looks so fucking cute.

I love you, I love you!

That's my bitch, and then that's Cash.

[all laugh]

Look. You're so cute!

Plastomi, our little duo, our little love story,

our little saga that continues on.

Are you ready?

Huh?

No.

Ooh!

And welcome...

To...

Plastomi!

Plastomi's Drag Race.

-Welcome. -Our hybrid.

You have to subscribe to find out.

We get boba and we fuck.

[laughs]

Okay, so this is our first tour working together.

I met Plastique I think when she was 18.

I met her when I was six months into doing drag.

She liked me when I was ugly, too, so...

I like you when you used to pad like a Tonka truck.

-Aah! -[laughs]

Naomi's a fucking cunt! [laughs]

We became really close, I think, like, two shows in.

Love that bitch.

I idolize Kim and I idolize Naomi.

They were up there for me with Alyssa,

so to be touring with them is insane.

-Hi, this is Rhonda. -[laughs]

From Ron Paul's Drug Race.

RuPaws Drag Race, the cat version.

Yes!

When Kim and I were doing the meet-and-greets

always together in Europe,

they'd go, "Oh, my God, Kim, you're so artistic."

And then they'd come to me

and say, "Naomi, you're so gorgeous."

And now they love to say, "Oh, my God, Plastique,

"you're stunning, you're gorgeous,

"you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Naomi, you're so tall."

You're so tall!

Thank you for noticing.

I've never heard it before.

Oh, my God.

I'm sure you heard it once or twice.

All right, baby, let's take the photo. [laughs]

But I will gladly be the tall, artistic one

in comparison to Plastique.

Like, you cannot get on her level.

It's unworldly beauty.

[humming]

Oh, my God, I feel like I'm being eliminated again.

Aah, PTSD!

Oh. Oh.

So you're fucking beautiful.

-Look at her. -Ugh!

Look at her. Gorgeous.

I just have a fat pussy.

I just have a wide-set vagina,

I can't help it.

I was meant-- I was made for birthing.

You're kidding.

Like, the show is starting 30 minutes late.

Yeah.

Wait, are you joking, or are you, like--am I being trolled?

No, no, no.

You're not trolling?

Why the fuck-- Oh, my God!

Guys, the show's delayed 30 minutes.

I'm gonna hit up the catering.

The tomfoolery, the riggory, the fuckery,

the rigor mortis of it all.

Do you see this?

We're the only one who's doing our jobs.

This is so good.

What is in this?

Peanut butter. You're not allergic, are you?

-No. -Okay, thank God.

I, like, freaked out for a second.

Ugh!

Do you wanna see our dungeon of horrors?

Yes, is there better light in there?

Oh, no, don't look at mine, look at hers.

Hers is pretty.

[laughs]

Naomi is all organized.

This is the cleanest dressing room.

Not really.

This is where the Virgo queen

likes to lay out her nails for a costume change,

and her heels and her earrings and her safety pin,

because my skirt doesn't fit me.

Do you see how beautiful this is?

And come and look at mine.

Let's look at Plastique's.

Wait, what's your sign?

I'm an Aries-Gemini,

literally the worst combination ever.

Are y'all ready?

Come on into my dressing room, darlings.

Yeah, you're a floor worker, I noticed that the other night.

So this is the magical space where an Aries-Gemini

lays... [clears throat]

Wait, what's it called? Chaotically organized?

-Yeah. -Chaotically organized.

Is that how it is? A chaotic--no.

Everything moved very, very fast for me.

It's so crazy to me.

I'm supposed to be in college right now. [laughs]

Like, doing the things that my parents wanted me to do.

[cheering]

Plastique, you know what?

She's kind of been coming out of her shell on the tour.

She's been loosening up, having a few drinks.

I'm, like, okay, bitch.

Because she used to not drink.

I didn't think Plastique was a party girl,

but I think she's kind of a party girl.

My mom, I feel like she still has that thought in her mind

that maybe the son she wished she had

would, you know, eventually emerge

or eventually come back.

Me trying to be a drag queen and trying to do all that

rather than going to medical school

was not her forte,

so we were just clashing all the time.

I started doing, like, amateur nights

when I was, like, 18, 18, 19.

And, like, I did a couple shows,

and then she found, like, my tights.

And then it was just, like, furious from there.

Still to this day we don't really talk about what I do.

I don't know if she will ever accept it, but that's okay.

I've kind of gotten to the point

where I'm like, she's my mom, and it's fine.

You know, it's heartbreaking for her, too.

[mumbling] The secret recipe before a show

is bread and Red Bull.

Carbs--oh, shit.

Carbs and sugar

gives you that extra boost,

snatch you up right away,

especially when you have a hangover.

See you at the show.

Oh, shit, I gotta go up.

It's always difficult

to not compare yourself to other people, you know.

Before I went into the competition,

I was very confident.

But afterwards, I feel like

every girl kind of gets into this zone.

There's always a little voice in my head

thinking that, oh, my number's not gonna be enough.

You know, I have to have more, more, more, more, more.

Like, I have to be greater and grander every single time.

But I've gotten to the point where I'm pleased with it now.

You know what?

I might not be dancing the whole five minutes,

but it's me.

It's my number, and I love it.

I'm the first to be featured,

and so it's a very quick change,

and it's a lot of preparation that goes beforehand.

And so it might look very simple,

it might look very beautiful,

but there's a lot of checks that need to be run.

Copy. It'll be the lyrics, and then when the guys move in.

I've always wanted to be, you know, a little goddess

lowered down from the ceiling, and then the snow.

Don't look up my skirt!

[cheers and applause]

And then I get to change into this warrior princess,

dancing in front of the fan machines.

Like, you get to be the Beyoncé of your own number.

[cheers and applause]

The crowd, it's just-- it's just an amazing energy.

You just get this rush of the superstardom

that you've always wanted to be.

We just did our number.

It was so much fun.

You liked it?

Yay!

Aw!

Even in larger theaters,

they raise me, like, at least 30 feet.

So it's, like, super crazy.

But it was worth it.

Is this the one?

God, I don't know where I'm going.

Aah!

Aah!

This way.

I see costumes. There's a good sign.

Over here we have an array of drinks, food,

for these fat-asses to eat.

And here we have the lovely Vanessa Vanjie Mateo,

getting ready to do her Fall Out Boy reunion number.

And here we have the best dressing room of all.

This one is Asia O'Hara, but nobody cares.

So let's check it out.

Here we have Kim Chi, Kameron, me, and Naomi.

Hi, hello, how are you?

Huh? It was good!

So, woman, hanging out,

doing so much work right now.

I'm so busy, oh, my God.

I have so many things to do, what am I gonna do next?

A woman eating bread.

Why are you--

my whole episode is just gonna be me eating stuff.

And then it goes into really emotional shit.

Just me eating shit with lip gloss.

So when you eat with lip gloss, you have to do this.

This is the content that you sign up

for Wow Presents Plastique.

It's the same price as a cup of coffee.

Coffee.

Or a boba.

Or...

A wig!

What?

[laughs]

Can I touch it?

Never thought at 22

I would be going around the world,

doing this stuff, going through Drag Race and all that.

I just never thought I would be, you know, here.

And finding myself,

you know, never knew who I was.

I said I knew who I was, but that was for TV.

But, no, I'm still figuring it out every day.

My mom, I don't blame her.

I don't blame her at all.

But I just wish she was, you know, more...

not accepting,

but more understanding of what I was going through.

I never thought I would be a role model for anybody.

I just wanted to be somebody who's gone through shit,

and just to tell the little boys and girls out there

who grew up like me that they'll be fine.

Plastique Tiara!

[cheers and applause]

I'm just here to do me,

and, you know, represent the place I come from,

represent what I'm about.

Aah!

Aah!

Oh, my God!
