You should borrow it for the next episode.
Stop playing.
I am tight serious.
Yeah, I don't see Kim Petras offering you clothes.
She certainly did.
And she had a few nice designer things,
but you know she's tiny.
She's like, you can wear it.
And you're like, no, I can't.
[LAUGHS]
From Amazon Music, it's The Walk In, honey.
Pose.
Legendary children!
Hey, dolls, welcome to The Walk In.
I am your host, Mo Heart.
Oh, that's cute.
I'm going to grab one.
I am in the fabulous headquarters of my good sis
Trixie Mattel.
Trixie Mattel has gone from Drag Race to taking over the world,
putting her magical Trixie touch on everything from her
cosmetics line to her own motel .
With four albums and five headlining tours
under her belt, she is setting out
on a run of major music festivals this summer.
[PHONE RINGING]
Oh, how could this be?
Hi, Vivian.
Yes, as I was saying, I said to Charlotte,
if it's your husband, why is he in my bed?
Exactly.
Oh, this is not--
Can I put you on hold?
Sorry.
What is going on?
Wait, she don't need to see this.
[GASP]
Oh, that [BLEEP] little [BLEEP].
Oh, here we go.
Look at God providing right here.
OK.
Hey, you're going to pay for that, right?
Yes.
Freely, I give.
And freely, I come-- something like that.
Did you bring your own shopping cart?
I just wanted to make sure I could take a lot.
I know.
You can't carry a lot.
You're frail.
You're a young girl.
I am.
Hello.
How are you?
Trixie!
How are you?
Oh my gosh, I love you so much.
First of all, to be in your warehouse, this is amazing.
Isn't this The Walk In?
Can I show you some clothes?
Yeah.
Yeah, let me just get two more things.
Yeah, come on.
I want to show you good drag.
[LAUGHTER]
Thank you, Trixie, so much.
You're such a blessing.
Yeah, most people just order online.
Oh, let me get this for you.
Oh, you're such a gentleman.
Oh.
Gentlewoman.
Gentlelady.
Thank you.
Oh my god, Trix.
This is gorgeous.
I hope you like pink.
I do, lots of it.
We have been trying to get you here for a long time.
I was too busy the first time and the second time.
And I literally was like, can you
make sure she knows that I'm not making up things?
I want to do it.
You work, mom.
You work.
Well, you know how it is.
The older I get in drag, I'm like, if you've got me
in that wig, you better get everything you
need for the next two months.
[LAUGHS]
You sound like RuPaul.
Girl.
I have just been so honored.
I remember your original season.
You got the boot.
Boo!
Then you came back.
And you dominated.
And to see what you did with your money
and your grand prize, we see everything.
That's the part that makes me want
to cry because I go, wow, another career
individual killing the game.
Thank you.
So we are here in your lovely closet.
And we call this section of the show
The Fashion Rewind where we get to know who you are,
what you're about, and what's going on in your life.
OK, so if you scooch on down.
OK.
Ooh, tell us about this one.
I don't want to apologize, but I want
to start with some disclaimers.
This outfit was the first time I ever felt gorgeous.
This-- but you--
listen, shut up.
This-- stop.
[LAUGHS] You bring me-- you didn't laugh at Katy Perry.
OK, come on.
We're straight.
You're like, she didn't bring this, honey.
So this is a lovely gown.
This is from the finale of season 7 of Drag Race.
This is one of the oldest pieces of drag I own now.
And I was feeling it because one of my all time favorite
designers was Heatherette.
Yes!
And Traver Rains from Heatherette built this for me.
And it was so surreal.
When I was 18 watching fashion shows on YouTube,
the person who made some of those outfits made this.
This mannequin is a little smarter than me.
So when I wear it, it's not a tube.
When I wear it, it's an hourglass.
OK.
But looking back on it now, it's a little crazy
but I remember I felt so gorgeous.
And I was like, oh, yeah, I'm about to let them know.
And I remember Pearl walked up and said, you are hilarious.
[LAUGHS]
And I was like, that is not what I was hoping.
Meanwhile, I was like, I'm finally
going to impress people with my outfit.
And nobody was impressed, but I loved it.
And I'll never get rid of it.
I love this dress.
Moving right along.
This is one of the only other pieces of Drag Race memorabilia
I have.
I remember this.
This is what I won RuPaul's Drag Race in.
This is the outfit I was wearing when
I had the shock of the century that I just-- listen,
I ran out of outfits.
And I don't want to apologize, but I definitely lip-synced
for The Crown in cowboy boots--
You did.
--in a little A-line dress.
You did.
I wouldn't choose that again.
Tell me about early day Trixie pre Drag Race.
How did you develop and become this lovely lady
that you are today?
At first, it was--
I was just trying things so I was doing Rocky Horror Picture
Show.
So at first, it was like, give me
that high heel and a Frankenstein mask
and a bucket of blood and some glitter.
It was just-- it was all over the place.
Yeah.
And then I started to do the Barbie thing.
And then the more I did the blonde and all pink thing,
when I turned 21, the people at the club were like,
I don't know that new girl but that new girl who
looks like a doll.
Really?
So then, I was just like, well, let's just run with this.
So I just was like going to the club in drag.
How did you learn makeup?
So I was at Mac for five years at Mayfair Milwaukee.
I got fired.
Shoplifting?
No.
[LAUGHS]
When I got fired, I was devastated, devastated.
But then because I had all this free time,
I auditioned for Drag Race.
So if I hadn't got fired, I probably
would have never even done Drag Race.
Really?
Yes.
Oh my God.
But also looking back, I was the 22-year-old idiot.
I probably was a bad employee.
I'm not even happy with my job performance now.
And I'm my own boss so like--
[LAUGHS]
Anyway.
Tell me about this.
When I do my music festivals and stuff,
there's five costume stacked.
Wow.
And this is one of the middle reveals.
And if you look, there's a wire on each arm.
Yeah, I was looking at it.
So I have guests come on stage.
And they each grab a wire.
And I go, 1, 2, 3.
And they pull.
And when they pull, the whole costume rips off.
I love the magic of drag--
Yeah.
--every time I see a drag.
No one can do a reveal like a queen.
I'm so sorry.
The only problem with doing a reveal with people on stage
is once the reveal happens, you're like, bam, bam.
And you turn to Beth and Susan.
And you go, get the hell out of here.
And then you have to chase them offstage.
So this is amazing.
Now, this is gorgeous.
You put her on a--
I thought of all my outfits, this
would be one that you would like because it's hoochie.
What are you trying to say?
Because you like to show skin.
I have never seen you in something so--
Slutty.
I was going to say glamorous.
Oh.
So when I tour my DJ show, it's called Solid Pink Disco.
Yes.
And we all wear pink.
The audience wears pink.
There's pink confetti, pink balloons.
Costumer Amie Sarazan, she makes all my costumes.
She was like, what if you look like a disco ball
that we dripped pink paint on it?
The only problem is this is the only way in and out of it
is this real zipper.
Oh.
So Brandon, when he's zipping it in a hurry,
has he zipped my armpit?
Absolutely.
Oh.
Did I bleed?
Oh.
Absolutely.
Oh.
But I let him keep his job.
[APPLAUSE]
Amie, I would like one.
Just give me boots in the same fabric like thigh high.
This--
Moschino.
Yes!
Custom Jeremy Scott.
You can see it has body make up on it.
I don't know how to respect things.
My stand-up special One Night Only
was nominated for Best Comedy Special
at the Critics' Choice Awards.
And I said, Jeremy, can you make me a cute little sexy dress?
It's so cinched, but it looked amazing on.
But let me tell you, I'm running late for the red carpet
but not too late.
I was reasonably there.
15 minutes.
But I get up to the line.
They closed the carpet in my face.
They turned off all the lights.
And all the press people go home.
And then I go, well, at least, I can go to the cocktail hour.
I get down to the cocktail hour, and it's closed.
And then Bowen Yang goes, Trixie,
do you want to come sit down?
I didn't have a ticket because I was
too cheap to buy a $15 ticket.
So then I went home in this dress with no photographs.
And I sat on my couch with my wig
off and watched myself lose the category.
It's so humiliating.
This is gorge.
Why are the titties droopy?
Well, that is when there's no boobs.
Oh.
Girl, you don't even know what titties are anymore.
I don't.
You looked at this.
And you're like, so what goes in here?
And I'm like, some of us wear bras, [BLEEP]..
I love this.
This is giving me Easter Sunday, Mother's Day.
It's very Trixie.
And I had to do all the interviews for Trixie Motel
in this outfit.
This was that long.
How did you figure out your styling?
Barbie from the '90s, bright hot pinks.
And then when I started getting deep into the Brady Bunch,
I started to get more inspired by like Marcia Brady and Carol
Brady.
And then I started doing all '60s
because I'm obsessed with like Nancy Sinatra and Twiggy.
And pretty soon, I was doing all the '60s.
And it just works for me.
You look so rich.
You really, really do.
This outfit, when I did "This Town"
which is like a somber ballad.
Yeah.
For some reason, that was the one where
Jimmy Kimmel was like, we want you to come sing "This Town."
So I had this made because I was like, it's
kind of a serious song.
I guess I should wear a nice dress.
But the fear-- and Jimmy Kimmel is like, Trixie Mattel.
I think I just blacked out during that whole performance.
I was so afraid.
I just played and just stared out into space.
And 2 minutes later, it was over.
And I was like, they were like, do you want to do it again?
I was like, no.
And for better or for worse, I'm a consistent performer.
If I [BLEEP] it up before, I'm going to [BLEEP] it up again.
[LAUGHS]
It is what it is, Santa.
You know what I mean?
Tell me about this wig.
This wig is based on a hairstyle from a Growin' Hair
Francie doll.
And people think I wear this wig all the time.
But it's just so specific that if I wear it once a year,
people are like, you just wore that.
Yeah.
And I'm like, well, sorry, your hair is forgettable, ma'am.
I live.
Sorry my hair makes an impact.
Sorry I make strong choices.
Zach Killian made this.
He makes almost all my wigs.
Yeah.
He gives.
And he eats.
And he's slays.
He really, really does.
Tell us about your lovely Barbie collection.
I've been over to her house.
She has a bookcase like this tall.
It covers-- it's very creepy--
very, very bad.
Yes.
So I collect Barbie, Crissy, Polly Pocket.
I have some My Little Ponies.
And this doll, this is this a Trixie doll
that was made by Integrity.
Winning Drag Race is great.
All that stuff is great.
When I saw this for the first time--
Did you cry?
Of course.
I'm in tears.
The first pass of her, she had a much more feminine face.
And I said, I'm still a man so--
Can we have the camera man zoom into the face to see?
All right.
Now, let's jump on over to the Fashion Forward.
This is the part where we get to hear all the hot things you're
working on.
Now, this one looks very familiar.
Yes.
I think we were in Pittsburgh when I saw you in this one.
This is actually originally built
for the red carpet of the Trixie Motel premiere.
Because I was like, well, what's the fashion version of, sorry,
I was just painting?
Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah.
And there's matching boots.
Oh, you're a genius.
My costumer Amie, she will buy normal boots.
And she wraps them in matching fabrics
so that I have matching shoes.
Yes.
Girl, platforms all day.
Platforms.
I recently did a gig.
And I was in a high heeled shoe.
And I was like, oh my God.
It's horrible.
I was just like, I don't know how to do it.
When shoemakers make a shoe longer,
they don't resize the toe box.
No!
So I'm cramming a man's foot.
This is a women's toe box.
My toes are this.
Yeah.
Any time in a picture I'm smiling, my toe is Gollum.
It's Gollum.
Yes.
It's Shire.
It's so true.
This is the promo outfit for Trixie Motel.
Yes!
It was the nicest, coolest, fanciest, longest
days of my life.
Yeah.
In the promo for Trixie Motel, the concept was,
Trixie is a jack of all trades, so they have me as the bellhop.
They have me at the front desk.
They have me serving drinks.
They have me as a lifeguard I thought that's amazing.
And then I realized, that means I'm going
to have to do that all day.
[LAUGHS]
And it was one of those sets where
everyone's afraid of misgendering me,
so everyone's terrified.
And I love to play with that.
A straight camera guy being woke--
Yeah.
--I can't help but [BLEEP] with that.
He's like, what are your pronouns?
I'm like, well, what do you think they are?
And you say it in the strongest tone.
I know.
What do you think they are?
I know.
But it was fun anyway.
When I saw the Trixie Motel ads in Times Square and stuff,
I was like, that costume is amazing.
It is.
It really, really is.
This is from Stagecoach.
You have to imagine for a little homosexual who grew up
plunking a guitar to play one of the most major folk music
festivals in the world, especially
at a time where people think drag queens are sex criminals
and pedophiles.
Yeah.
People think that if you like folk music,
you're like a neckbeard conservative.
That's not true.
There's a lot of people who love country and folk who
are very liberal and fun.
Very, very true.
As a queer kid from Wisconsin, did you ever imagine?
Yeah, I knew.
No, I had no idea.
I had no idea.
I mean, I always thought, I'm going
to be a songwriter because I'm so gay.
I'm not going to be able to step on stage.
Once I started coming out in like Trixie blond hair all
pink, and I saw the way people responded,
it was just an anchor and a hook.
And I was like, I can use Trixie to do anything.
There's no secret other than I just do it.
I should market that.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS]
Now, tell me about this.
OK.
And then you can tell this is well made.
Amie Sarazan has made pretty much everything here.
This is a style of sequin where they're bigger.
And they lay flat.
So it's almost like retro '70s disco sequin.
This was for my promo for Queen of the Universe
because the theme was all gold.
Do you want it?
Yes, I want it but it would look great on you.
It would!
You should borrow it for this, for Walk In.
You wear it on the next episode.
Stop playing.
I'm tight serious.
See?
Making exclusive things happen right here on Amazon Music,
The Walk In.
Yeah, I don't see Kim Petras offering you clothes.
She certainly did.
And she had a few nice designer things,
but you know she's tiny.
She's like, you can wear it.
And you're like, no, I can't.
Yeah.
That's like when somebody gives you
a $25 gift card to Red Robin.
You're like, this is the water.
[LAUGHS]
This just covered the soda.
I know.
Now, darling, tell me about the tour.
This look was for the Trixie & Katya's UNHhhh campaign
this year.
Say it one more time for the viewers.
UNHhhh.
And Katya and I never get to wear green because we
do the show on a green screen.
Ahah!
Yes.
So for this campaign, we've never
done a photo shoot for the show.
Yeah.
If we were a green dress in front of a green background,
it'll look like we're wearing the green screen.
Yeah.
And that's what Amie came up with.
Isn't it incredible?
She hand-sculpted all this fabric.
And then this whole bow just comes off.
Oh!
Even better.
So you get the dress on.
And then you just have to pull it.
[WHISTLE] You know what I mean?
That by itself is a moment.
I know.
But I love the construction.
For the people at home, when you want
to know if a costume is made well, look on the inside.
Yeah.
And if you ever looking at a costume I made,
don't look on the inside.
[LAUGHS]
Don't look.
Don't look on the inside.
This has been so amazing.
I'm very happy that we got to walk in.
Now, we are about to walk out.
Do you have anything that you would
like to share so that people can take a breath?
Yes.
This is going to be obnoxious, but here we go.
You can listen to any of my music on Amazon Music.
You can listen to The Bald and the Beautiful Podcast
wherever your podcasts are listened to.
You can watch my YouTube channel.
You can purchase my makeup at trixiecosmetics.com.
You can watch me on Netflix with Katya in I Like to Watch
or you can check out season 8 of UNHhhh.
And you can also check out Trixie Motel on HBO Max, Queen
of the Universe season 2.
And I look really good when I'm jogging through Hollywood.
[APPLAUSE]
And I'm on episode 2 of The Motel.
You sure the [BLEEP] are.
So tune in.
I love you.
I've been so inspired.
I know everybody at home will be inspired.
This is great.
Finally, it got to happen.
Thank you.
Of course, thank you for having me.
And congratulations on the show.
Let's go eat.
I'm hungry.
Best taco, burrito, something, girl.
