[The Vivienne] It's a bit like me and Baga's journey.
It really is, you know,
she found me, I still haven't managed to turn her
into something glamorous,
but I'm giving up it a good old go.
[Cheddar] Well, best of luck with that.
Hello there, it's me, Cheddar Gorgeous
reporting for Attitude
and we're here in Margate at the Sundowners bar
for an extra special live Netflix event celebrating
their hilarious YouTube show 'I Like to Watch'.
Well, at the moment,
I'm watching 'Sex Education'
because you never can have too many tips.
And of course, there's this little show on there called,
what was it again? 'RuPaul's Drag Race'.
Strangely enough, we're
also being joined by two of the stars of the show tonight,
Cheryl Hole and The Vivienne where we'll be watching
the Netflix movie 'He's All That'.
Now, I'm here with one of the stars of
the show, it's The Vivienne!
Well, you're looking absolutely stunning.
What does inspired the look today?
[Vivienne] Comfort.
Yes, I'm going to be sat down for a couple of hours,
talking shite about movies, so I needed to be comfortable.
I have corseted, which is probably not the best idea.
But here we are.
[Cheddar] Well, that's what the show's all about,
isn't it? Sitting down with a good friend,
watching a show that you like.
[Vivienne] It is,
with a cup of tea.
And I'm going to
say tea loosely, because it might be pink gin.
It's definitely pink gin.
[Cheddar] So, obviously we're here in Margate,
the wonderful Sundowners Bar.
Why do you think it's
important that we're out and about like this?
[Vivienne] Well, I performed at Sundowners pre-pandemic.
And, you know, it's
such a great venue. And then
the pandemic obviously wiped out businesses.
To bring something like this to a small town and
a small venue is just great.
Hopefully, we'll be filling the bar,
even if it's for one night, but it's getting just a
nice little buzz around the venue.
And it's an honour to be able to do that.
[Cheddar] So, we're going to be watching
'He's All That' tonight, which is the new Netflix film.
But the movie itself is about a geeky person
at high school who is
befriended by a more popular
person at high school and
is made magnificent through the power of a makeover.
[Vivienne] It's a bit like me and Baga's journey.
It really, you know,
she found me, I still haven't managed to turn her
into something glamorous, but I'm giving it a good old go.
[Cheddar] Well, best of luck with that.
And now I'm here with the dancing diva herself.
It's Miss Cheryl Hole.
[Cheryl] Hello, Ched.
[Cheddar] You're wearing this
amazing little catsuit number, darling.
What's inspired this for you?
[Cheryl] Do you know what,
I was just feeling very camp today.
I was picking out my outfits and I went, what is going
to make a statement on this first day of the tour.
And I went, neon, yes.
[Cheddar] Are you suggesting there is ever a day
that you're not feeling camp?
[Cheryl] No, It's camp 24/7 365.
366 if it's a leap year, you know what I mean?
[Cheddar] So, we're watching
a new Netflix movie called 'He's All That',
which is about a young,
unpopular kid who, through the
power of a makeover from a popular new
friend, becomes empowered.
Now, I don't want to bring this up,
but as you did actually leave 'Drag Race' on the makeover
challenge- [Cheryl] Of course, you are bringing that up.
[Cheddar] Has it been a bit triggering for you?
[Cheryl] I'm not going to lie.
I left on a high on
the makeover because I didn't
think I should have actually
gone. But, you know, it is what it is.
We're here being controversial and we love a makeover.
[Cheddar] We do love a makeover.
[Cheryl] But everybody is beautiful.
[Cheddar] You're travelling around the UK
visiting lots of lovely, smaller queer venues.
What do you think the importance of that is?
[Cheryl] I mean, after the year and a half,
we've had the panny-dem, Miss Covid-nineteen-a,
like, we've just got to
make sure that everybody's out
there supporting these venues that have suffered
and struggled so much
without having their trade, their custom
and, like, the life and soul that is our community.
[Cheddar] And us!
[Cheryl] And us, you're missing this.
[Vivienne] And I think we should press play.
Just FYI, we're going to be talking shit through out, OK?
[Cheryl] I hope you genuinely didn't come to watch a movie.
[Cheddar] It's me Cheddar Gorgeous, we're here
with Attitude at the Netflix Live 'I Like to Watch'
event in Margate.
And we're going to go and meet the crowd, come on.
What are you up to then, my darling?
[James] So, I'm part of the makeup team for
‘I Like to Watch' this evening.
And we have body paint, we've got glitters.
We're just making people
feel extra special and glorious tonight.
[Cheddar] What do you think of Margate?
[James] I love it because the weather is here.
So, I'm, like, putting
the sunshine we had today
in a jar and holding on to it until next summer.
[Cheddar] Hello, my darling.
Are you enjoying your evening?
[Perry] I'm having such an amazing time.
It's such a great atmosphere
and good to be back at live entertainment venues.
Really, really good.
[Cheddar] Isn't it just.
And are you from Margate?
[Perry] I'm from Kent, I'm from Dover.
I've travelled especially because I thought,
you know, can't miss the queens at the
one of the most famous gay venues in Kent, Sundowners.
It's great, so much fun.
[Cheddar] So, you're a regular at Sundowners?
[Perry] Well, yeah,
I like to come in for
drag shows, you know,
also to support smaller venues, not always
the big venues in the cities.
[Victoria Carriage] I was checking
the cheekbones were picked out
in this lovely light and when I say 'cheekbones', I mean 'fat',
look at it and see?
[Cheddar] You're stunning,
darling, and a drag queen
always knows how to find their light.
What was it like
growing up in Margate being so extravagant?
[Victoria] I'm going to say
that I grew up during Section 28, so we know that was
a difficult time.
So, growing up in these small seaside towns
was really, really difficult to find oneself.
I found drag about maybe five or six years ago now.
And that's when I truly came to life.
Drag gave me the extravagant person you see right now.
And that's the power of drag.
And that's why I do drag, because I want to go out
and I want to share this with other people.
I think that's super important.
[Cheddar] What has it been like having an event
like this happen in Margate?
[Victoria] This is super special, right? This is super spesh.
Like, Cheryl and I started drag together
in the same club, I worked with Vivienne
a couple of times,
and they're like superstars now from 'Drag Race'.
And here we are in this tiny little, quaint town
that nobody really comes to and all of a sudden
we're packed and
we've got something really special going on.
And I love it. I love to see
this representation in these these small towns.
Just amazing, amazing.
[Cheddar] Did you enjoy the film?
[Guest] It was great. Yeah, I mean, well...
[Cheddar] Could you relate to the story?
Could you relate to that story of a makeup
changing your life from being an unpopular
child to a wonderful, celebrated local legend?
[Guest] I'm a drag queen, but I'm still hated, so...
[Cheddar] It’s the best way to be, it takes all of the pressure off.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Are you from Margate?
[Guest] Yes.
[Cheddar] And what is the most fabulous thing about Margate?
[Guest] Margate is the most fabulous thing
about Margate. It's great.
I love it here, It's like the best place to be.
[Cheddar] So, where would I get into some trouble tonight?
Some queer trouble!
[Guest] Queer trouble?
[Cheddar] You know, in a good way.
[Guest] The high street probably.
[Cheddar] I can always get into trouble on a high street.
As Vivienne would say, "I'm shopping, not lifting".
Oh, what a night we have
had here at Sundowners and the lovely seafront of Margate.
You can watch 'He's All That' on Netflix UK.
And don't forget to check out
my amazing drag sisters, The Vivienne and Cheryl Hole
and their YouTube show 'I Like to Watch'.
I’ve been Cheddar Gorgeous for Attitude magazine, goodnight.
