Original subtitles

Now sissy that walk.

[cheering]

Trend alert.

I'm new to a lot of shit.

I ain't new to stunts.

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 ♪

Me, oh, my.

They really, really, really, really ought to pay me more.

That's all I gotta say.

But on the bright side,

now I'm just at the point where I just don't give a fuck.

Yeah. Uh, uh!

We've got two shows left, so pardon the lace.

[not speaking]

Does it look like I give a fuck? 'Cause I don't.

Does it look like I give a fuck?

'Cause I don't!

[cheers and applause]

Right.

Definitely a different time.

Back where we left me, as far as Barbizon Plus is concerned,

it was right before--

right after we filmed the finale of Drag Race season 10,

and right before anything was announced.

So I didn't know if I'd won,

and I was, you know,

just jumbled in so many different ways.

There's very little time for me to breathe and relax

and take a moment to get my life together,

because everything's moving so fast.

There's a lot of times where I wish I could clear out my mind,

clear out the clutter in my life.

So now, more than a year past that,

you know, everything's been going a lot more smoothly.

Like, my brain is in a so much better place.

♪ She's a super queen ♪

♪ Never miss a beat ♪

♪ She's a super queen ♪

♪ Landing on her feet, hey, hey, hey ♪

I feel like everything's just a lot more secure.

I've definitely taken enough time off to breathe,

let everything sink in,

and it was the beginning of the rest of my life,

to say the least.

♪ You better believe that the power is real ♪

♪ She's a super queen ♪

Aquaria is a crazy--

she's like the Tasmanian Devil. [laughs]

She's all over the place,

and I love that about her.

I think she's one of the most beautiful, creative individuals,

and she is really easy to work with.

Like, she's professional, she's on time,

she comes in, she gets the job done,

she has a good time doing it.

She's a little flighty,

but I think that's part of her charm.

Monét, Jasper's here.

Aquaria is such an oddball, but in the best way possible.

[singing gibberish]

Oh, my God, my NuvaRing fell in the toilet.

[laughs]

Oh!

No!

Excuse you.

Not "My NuvaRing fell in the toilet," bitch.

I'm so sad.

Oh, my gosh.

We'll get pregnant tonight!

[laughs]

Did you all use colors in your makeup today, girls?

Aquaria is probably the one person on tour

who can relate to me the most,

especially since she won a really recent season,

and is kind of coming off of it.

-Oh, that's Naomi's. -Yeah.

I wanna pick her brain more.

I'm excited to understand what it takes to do this,

and hopefully do it successfully.

This goes, but not with the corset

and not with the earrings.

Are these earrings wrong?

Aquaria. Tweaky, my good little Tweaky Rexha.

My SKIMS, that were gifted to my by Aquaria.

Because she knows I'm a Kardashian fanatic.

[tongue pop] Like that.

I've known Aquaria since she was, like, 13,

Before she even started doing drag,

we were, like, Tumblr friends.

We would message each other about, like, H&M for Versace,

and whatever Lady Gaga was doing.

It's amazing to see what she's blossomed into.

She's one of the most talented queens I know.

Like, you cannot compare her to anybody else,

because she's just such a mastermind.

Her makeup is flawless, her looks are flawless,

and the fact that she can dance, I'm jealous.

[all laugh]

Yeah. Yeah.

Yes, bitch, I do.

I do still have some extra, after taxes and so on.

Is that you that smells?

Good old Aquaria.

Aquaria I think I'm the most maternal with.

She gets mad at me because I'm always like,

"Okay, Aquaria, we're not wearing contacts today.

Like, what's going on? Are we not feeling well?"

Like, "What's happening?"

-No contacts. -Uh...yeah.

I don't know why

I'm so emotionally invested in her craft every night.

Her real mom is like that also,

so I know she gets annoyed with me.

But I love having her around.

Her friendship is very effortless.

Aquaria. Pretty bitch from New York City, for sure.

So well-versed in her craft.

♪ Until tomorrow, shake it off, turn around ♪

She has the grits and the glamour

to back it all up, for sure.

♪ This is the beginning ♪

♪ The beginning ♪

♪ This is the beginning of the rest of your life ♪

This new cast is a lot more fresh to fame.

It's almost like we're more of a blank canvas to explore.

You don't get this level of production in most situations,

so to be able to live our pop star fantasy for 15 minutes

while we're onstage is really exciting.

[RuPaul laughs]

You don't look like a woman.

Are you a woman?

You don't look like a woman,

but you feel like a woman.

Feel like a woman.

Feel, feel like a woman.

Feel like a woman.

Talk about someone who you have to keep up with,

it's Aquaria. Because, like, she is so tiny,

and she travels like she's Naomi's size.

Like, it's hard for us to--

We can't even keep up with her.

We're, like, running from one set to the other.

She books it across the stage,

and she's, like, doing technique.

Yeah, because she actually has dance training.

She started dancing, I think,

when she was, like, in ninth grade.

So she has some--

like, the technique, so we actually were able to do, like,

a full jazz progression across the stage with her.

And she'll be running across, doing this split, and, like--

There was one city, it was so slippery--

she, like, she was doing a split,

and she slid all the way offstage

and then, like, ran back on.

But, like, we thought she was gone.

It took her, like, a couple of seconds, though,

she slid so far.

And then it's like three seconds later

she comes, like, running back onstage.

It's amazing.

I'm usually super ready, super clean,

station's super tidy.

However, yeah, get in here. Let everyone know.

We started rehearsal many hours late,

and I could not get started.

I don't like not being on time,

and Asia, "All right, we're starting meet-and-greet.

We're five minutes late."

Because I'm team that as well.

However, I wasn't in charge

of what time we started anything today.

Everyone was getting pedicures. Cut to the pedicures.

They were fucking around on stage,

as if they haven't been doing this for 24 shows.

And now I'm late because I've brushed my teeth.

Unlike most queens, I've been putting on nails.

Unlike most queens...

I will not be the stinky of this tour.

Let it be known.

See you at the meet-and-greet, friends.

You know, a lot of people might see what we do

and, oh, they're just sitting around in a theater all day,

or they're just sitting around on the tour bus all day.

And all they have to do is, you know,

do their little meet-and-greet for an hour,

and do their three little numbers.

You know, it's no big deal.

And in theory, it should be no big deal.

It should be, like, the easiest thing in the world.

Get on, slay, live your life.

Sharing so much, you know, energy and stuff with the fans

can honestly be quite tiring,

and then you find yourself a lot more beat up than you thought,

especially with doing two, three hours of makeup

before all of that.

There's just, like, a lot going on,

so when it's off, it's nice.

[cheers and applause]

You know, a lot of people will feel like, you know,

you get your star moment, and then it starts to dwindle.

And, yeah, I'm not on national television right today.

You know, just because

I'm not in a million people's living rooms

doesn't mean that I'm not having a couple thousand people

come to my show each night.

And then as far as moving forward

and trying to stay up to date and fresh,

just because it's not broken,

doesn't mean you can't fix it up a little bit.

All the girls in the cast love mixing up our makeup

and trying different things,

swapping wigs, trying to learn from each other.

And I think, you know, that type of community

really helps us move with the times and change,

and I think that's what drag in 2020 is all about.

I definitely miss being home.

I miss--New York nightlife for me is like life.

It is, you know, the basis of my inspiration to do what I do.

It is, you know, something I always long for

now that I'm not home a lot.

Yeah, are you ready for tonight?

I feel like I got shot. Mwah!

How are you?

Oh, my God, it does look really bad.

So tonight I've taken a little break

from my run on the Werq the World tour.

Actually, it's not a break.

It was our travel day.

But I've decided to get in drag, glue my eyebrows down,

glue a wig on.

32 inches of human hair.

And come and DJ my friend Ty Sunderland's party.

Normally it's called Heaven on Earth because it's oopy-spoopy.

It's Hell on Earth today.

And I think that name

accurately describes pretty much everything I do.

So let's have a good time.

So Ty Sunderland is one of my best friends in New York.

We met a couple years ago.

He wanted me to do one of his events,

and sadly, I couldn't do it

because I was off filming Drag Race.

A really great excuse.

If you forgot to do your homework in school,

tell them you were filming Drag Race.

Tell them they can't tell.

You can't tell. You're at summer camp.

He's always just been very supportive.

He knows me definitely through my highs and my lows.

He's my Ty and I'm his Aqua,

and we're like a match made in heaven.

Ty booked me at Pride in 2017,

and I've been leeching gigs off of him ever since.

Honestly, we just, like, clicked immediately.

Like, she's an Aquarius, I'm a Gemini.

Like, two air signs.

We're both, like, very dedicated to what we do.

Oh, God, I hope she doesn't hate that I say this.

She's kind of like very introverted

and, like, in her brain all the time.

You can just, like, see when, like, when we're talking,

she's, like, thinking about everything that's happening.

It's crazy.

Like, I sometimes forget how much of a superstar she is.

And then I'm, like, oh, yeah, she's in Fenty.

Awesome. Like, good for her.

I have a whole different slew of anxieties going out nowadays.

Going out as a celebrity,

whether it's from the A or the Z list,

you've got eyes on you,

so you kind of need to be aware of your surroundings,

and it's just weird now that when I go out in New York,

I went from not being confident going out

to being so confident going out,

to now I'm like... not, like, going down,

but it doesn't feel like I'm, like, the hottest.

I'm like, all right, well... [sighs]

let's convince myself to go to the party.

We'll be nice to everyone.

I guess that's why you just take a shot and have fun.

Breakfast of champions.

I can say that because I won.

♪ Where are you? ♪

Girl, this ain't my hometown.

I've been in every other city

probably more than I've been in New York,

so this is not my home anymore.

I'm just happy to have sushi.

Home is where the sushi is.

Really nervous for some reason.

Maybe it's because, like, my day got started off kind of iffy,

with the hotel locking me out of my room for half an hour

while I was supposed to be on the bus already.

I'm nervous because I drank a bunch of coffee

and didn't eat breakfast. [laughs]

I mean, my guts, hopefully.

-Yes, guts! -I'll look extra-skinny.

Oh, my God. [laughs]

Yvie, besides the finale

and the redacted Meet the Queens from her season,

this is the first time I've really gotten to work with her.

Should I steal Monet's wig for the finale?

[laughs]

Oh, no.

The second that I dropped that crown on her head,

I was, like, they're yours now. Good luck.

And she seems to, you know, be handling everything really well.

She's obviously been busy, busy, busy,

and I know this time last year,

when I was doing the same thing, it's very, very busy.

And it kind of is bugging to see people make comparisons.

Like, no two people are on the same path.

And me right now

is not the me coming off Drag Race last year.

Like, y'all don't celebrate Sasha's accomplishments for me.

So, like, let Yvie pave her own way,

and, like, let her do her own thing.

Let her do whatever she's doing.

-Mwah. -Hi! Mwah.

All together.

Three, two, one. Perfect.

-Hi. -Hi, honey.

-Mwah. How are you? -I'm good.

-She's back again. -I'm back again.

My parents came to our show in New York.

They are, you know, just super supportive and super lovely.

I think it's also really awesome that, you know,

the cast and crew has been so lovely with them.

For real, Aquaria's mom travels us around the world,

follows us around the world.

Like, every five shows, she's here.

And, like, she's, like, literally--

I think I'm Aquaria's mom for real.

But really, Ms. Gina here, Ms. Palan--Mrs. Palandrani,

like, she literally will get in her Winnebago

and drive across the Atlantic Ocean

to see Aquaria clip her toenails.

Oh, always.

Just like all the fans, I'm...

Oh, yeah, because she's famous.

She's a superstar, she's...

she's Aquaria.

My mom is--she's definitely a wild little lady.

Whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo!

The fans know my mom now, and they all love her.

I think there's, like, some boundaries

that I still need to kind of work out with her.

Like, I don't like all my business being out.

Aquaria is the boss now.

Okay.

And, you know-- what are you laughing at?

I just enjoy your presence.

If Aquaria would let us,

we would take her with us on the whole tour.

Okay, Aquaria will allow you.

You never asked, okay?

I don't have to be intermingling with her.

I am a very good employee.

Well, that apple didn't fall far from the tree.

But, also, like, let the lady live the life.

Everyone enjoys her,

and she's sweet and keeps everyone entertained

when I'm not entertaining them, so...

Ah, hello!

I guess she's doing the Lord's work.

Detox's drink.

I don't even know how she spilled it,

because I don't know what was going on.

When we were in Connecticut,

oh, Detox spills not one drink on me, but two.

I don't know if she was trying to consolidate or something,

but we got wet.

Jasper missed it.

See, now I'm starting to think Jasper's the issue.

You told her to spill those drinks.

No, I'm just changing out of one ugly outfit into a different one

that doesn't even solve the initial problem.

Jasper, pull my hair.

-Right here? -No, off.

-Oh, the whole way? -Yeah, I think so.

Right as we were in the elevator

about to go down to the meet-and-greet,

my drink slipped out of my hand and fell all over her,

and I was mortified.

And she has not let it go. [laughs]

I have apologized profusely.

You people got me fucked up.

I can't even wear the tie-dye anymore.

Girl, none of this makes any sense.

When one little thing goes wrong in Aquaria's mind,

it's like the end of the world.

She, like, panics internally, and combusts,

and tries not to let us see it, but we do.

Bitch, oh, my God!

I look bad.

Not--not--I look-- I look not right.

I was already so flustered,

but also so, like, all right, let's do it.

She spills on me, at first I'm like, all right.

Well, we're gonna throw on a random thing and a random thing,

and we're just gonna make it happen.

Okay, we're wet, but we can get unwet.

I brought tons of shit, right?

Pants? Plenty. Wigs? Plenty.

Like, we can make this work really easy.

Let's just do a really dumbed-down version of whatever.

Pblblblblbl.

God, does everyone's hair get in their mouth or is that me?

-Do you need a hand? -No.

These tights look so oddly bad.

I bought these for, like, a boy?

No.

No, now I'm honestly getting, like, really, really frustrated,

because, like, that was, like, really annoying.

And I'm, like, I'm...

[sighs]

Well, now at this point the shit that's wet is dry.

[sighs] This is so annoying.

But I was just, like,

getting more and more aggravated with myself

not being able to style something really quick

and make it to the meet-and-greet.

I was already so late.

Ugh, I just felt so fucking burned up about myself.

I'll just put the fucking wet shit back on.

Doesn't fucking matter.

Why are we figuring out fucking two fucking drinks?

Can't make it down to the fucking meet-and-greet

with just one?

Like, I mean, honestly, honestly though.

Completely avoidable.

We could have done that

in the 20 minutes I was wasting my other time.

Gimme a break.

Like, honestly unnecessary, just for the record.

Ugh.

And now I'm late, and I'm late for getting ready,

and I'm late for packing this disaster up,

and now I'm soaking wet with fucking someone else's liquor.

This is such a joke.

I'm 40 minutes late. I can't do it.

Aah! Son of a bi--aah!

No, no, no. Like, I'm not, like, giggles about this,

because that's fucking annoying,

because I don't miss the meet-and-greet.

To the fans in Connecticut,

I'm so sorry for missing the meet-and-greet,

but direct all your hate and blame towards Detox.

That was a frustrating moment on tour for me.

I wasn't even mad at D.

I was, like, you know what?

Mini-challenge. Time to go.

But, like, no.

Aquaria!

[cheers and applause]

Oh, my God, I'm outta here.

Man, they coming at you from every angle.

I know! I'm so popular!

I'm just trying to give them endings on my episode.

It's been real, it's been fun,

but it's been a total drag.

Jasper, go get my wig! Go get my wig, Jasper!

No, no! Jasper, get in there!

[all laugh]

Oh, my God!

-Aah! -Get my shoe!

My shoe! My shoe! My shoe! My shoe!

That was the second shoe in my face

in the past 30 seconds.

This elevator is pissed.

-We're gonna die. -See? She's angry.

Oh, this is Plastique's. I saw her.

She's not gonna help with any of your shit.

She's bigger.

Honestly, I would love to have these.

-They're like L.A. -Yes.

I was like they are so drunk, and everything's fine.

Yeah. No, it's cool. She's got it.

Oh, baby, she's got it.

[mumbles]

I'm your Venus, I'm your penis,

I'm your fire, I'm your vagina!

Seriously, look at it.

What the hell?

Girl, that wig get warm.

She's big.

She's bounded.

A little thick.

Little thick.

Little thick.

Are you enjoying yourself with my fine pieces?

Don't do that.

-Fine pieces or-- -Yeah, fine.

Oh, I find this piece under the tire--

tire truck.

[laughs]

Aquartisha. Oh.

Yes, don't call me by my legal name.

Huh!

Oh, God.

Where's Vanjie?

Who are you calling?

[laughs]

Hello?

Yeah, both of them, they're right here.

I'm ordering them some edible arrangements.

Get your hood ass outta my fucking room.

Get this hood bitch outta here.

And y'all better leave

with that temper tantrum Miss Thing was having.

I ain't playing.

[laughs]

The one that got the check?

-She did? -Temper tantrum.

She did? Ooh, I missed it.

Now you have to put it in, because I'm gonna talk about it.

That's what I do.

[laughs]

I missed it.

What, somebody spilled a drink on her?

She...girl.

She grabbed Detox hand and threw it.

We know these stunt--

Listen, I'm new to a lot of shit.

I ain't new to stunts.

I'm a professional stunt queen, too.

I know a trick or two.

-You were definitely-- -Hello.

You were definitely new

to the choreography tonight, weren't you?

I wasn't new to the choreography.

Still better than Kimchi.

[both laugh]

Leave it in there. Aah!

Edit it out. Aah! I'm kidding.

[laughs]

Everything on this tour somehow is falling apart.

There's a fly.

Oh, still alive.

Oh, do you remember when Obama

swatted that fly in that interview?

Fucking icon.

You guys always love posting this on Twitter.

So we do a little bit of this,

get the leg wiggling and jiggling.

Make sure you crack--

[crack] Ooh.

Get any crack out of your system that is still left in it.

You don't wanna have any crack in you

when you're going onstage.

[laughs]

Oh, send me home!

Or you could see my number.

[elevator dings]

Always there when you call, and it's always on time.

Uh! Thank you.

[exhales]

Not even one more, bitch. One more today.

It's really fun, though. I love this number.

Honestly, like, this is definitely one of those

it's very "my time is up,"

but also very "I could do it till the end of time."

So I know it, like, very well,

like the back of my hand on the right side.

But I also know it like the back of my hand on the left side,

so I could reverse everything

and do the entire thing to the other side.

And I got a little wormy-brained yesterday,

but tonight, no problem, sis.

But I won't have to fuck it up tomorrow

just in case I fuck it up today.

I let myself kind of just move about life as life moves me.

I'm lucky to be where I am, but I'm also convinced

that wherever I am is where I'm supposed to be.

And thankfully, I'm in a place

that doesn't seem like, you know,

absolutely terrible right this second.

So I always leave everything open-ended.

I think I've definitely developed

a lot of better skills as far as in my art,

but I've also developed a lot more skills as a person.

How to handle my schedule, how to handle the people in my life,

how to manage my free time, my busy time, my everything.

So it's all about growing.

I definitely have also found

a greater love for the people in my life,

and, you know, a bigger appreciation

for any sort of relationships I have.

I definitely have learned to miss more.

So, yes, you do need friends.

Yes, they'll disappoint you, but they're important.

You look good, kiddo.

You're supposed to say that to me.

"It was perfect."

You've never seen the movie tag?
