Drag- for some girls it’s not just a job, it’s an adventure. A revolution in drag is exploping thanks to the success of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Today we’re talking to three of the fabulous queens from the reality TV competition who all scored high in charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent, and if you take the first letter of that list, these ladies give it in abundance!

Also joining us is Stacy Layne Matthews – whose first time on an airplane was flying from Back Swamp, North Carolina to Los Angeles to be on the show. Stacy also comes forward as being a transgendered woman.
Listen as we talk about how life has changed for all these queens now that RuPaul’s got them with her Midas touch? And point on the doll where RuPaul touched you!
Plus, MoNique’s drag queen body double, home schooling in drag at age of 12 and how to survive reality TV.

Great interview! I live for this, especially the trans discussion. It’s great to know these girls are friends and creating something together out of their experience. I’ve always felt that the coolest thing about being a drag queen is the camaraderie. I kinda wish that Drag Race would show the girls hanging out en femme backstage before they perform, which was (!) always my favorite part of the process. xx J
I love these girls. I loved them on the show and still love them now.
India Ferrah’s eye make-up is like a circus. Growl????? LOL and look at them teeth all yellow and snagle looking bitch get a good dental plan!
India is serving me Circus side show realnesssssssssssss
Once again, FOF is heading me broaden my understanding of the LGBT community while entertaining me. Can’t wait for part 2.
I’m really glad I tuned in…. this gave me a new appreciation for Mimi. We are really only getting edits of what really happened. Mimi’s style doesn’t always appeal to me, but I respect her right to perform.
I really enjoyed myself during the taping of this too! Those girls were all spot on.
To be completely honest, all three of these queens were nothing but charming, unique, nice and talented. Don’t believe everything you see on TV, especially “reality” TV shows.
Part Two is up. Listen if you dare.
Wait… Manilla and Shangela are a couple??
Rupaul needs to make next season not so predictable. I had the winner pinned before the 1st episode even aired. And Ru gurl I love the fact your all about having a Black wo-men win this messy contest but gurl its getting old just like the 50 year road map across yo face!
