Weirded.
- You're weirded?
What do you think?
- Weirded?
- You're weirded out too?
- [Woman] Who has heard of a drag queen before?
- Not me.
- What is drag?
- It's when you dress up in a costume and express your
creativity through performance.
You can put on a costume and wigs, and lip sync to a song,
or sing a song, and just entertain people and have a good
time.
- Like, what do you do on performance?
- Mostly I sing when I'm performing.
- Then sing me a song.
- I can sing a song.

- Is Isabel your real name?
- It's not, Isabella Extynn is my stage name,
and my real name is Stetson.
- Are you a boy or a girl?
- I'm a boy!
- Wait, what?
(laughs)
- You didn't think I was a boy?
- I thought you were a girl. - You thought I was a girl?
No, I'm a boy, and I'm in a...
- Girl costume?
- Feminine presenting costume.
How do you feel about that?
- A little bit weirded out, but like, a little interesting.
- It's a lot to think about.
The idea of certain clothes being for a certain gender
is something that doesn't have to be...
- Different.
- Yeah, we can wear whatever we want to wear.
- Are those comfortable?
- These are my runnin' shoes.
No, they're not comfortable at all, they're terrible.
They're six inches tall.
- Wait, how do you run in those?
- Oh, I was just kidding, I don't really run in 'em.
I walk very slowly.
- Do you ever wish you were a girl?
- I don't, I don't think that when I'm in drag I'm
necessarily trying to look like a girl, I'm trying to look
lik a hyper-feminine being.
- Can girls do drag?
- Yeah, girls can do drag, anybody can do drag.
Anybody who wants to dress up and get on stage
and entertain a crowd can do drag.
- What's the best part of drag?
- The best part about drag is getting to make people laugh
and just having a good time.
- What's the worst part?
- The high-heels!
We already talked about that.
- The high-heels?
- Yeah, they're uncomfortable.
- The evil high-heels.
- Yeah, the evil high-heels.
- What would be my nickname?
- If you were a drag queen, what would be your drag name?
How about Rocky Roads?
Like rocky road ice cream.
How about that?
You like that one?
Ladies and gentleman, presenting Rocky Roads!
Yeah!
So, we gotta come up with a drag name for you now.
- Cotton Candyland?
- Cotton Candy?
- Ladies and gentleman, presenting Candy Land!
Do us a pose.
(laughter)
- How did your parents feel about drag?
- They didn't understand it, when I first started
doing drag.
My mom recently started getting interested in my drag,
and she really wants to see me do a show.
- Can you teach me some drag words?
- Some drag words?
Yeah, I can.
Slay is one of 'em.
- Slay?
- And it's like when somebody is doing something really
good, and you go, slayyy.
- [All] Slayyy.
- And then another drag word that is, like, the most
important drag word in the world is yaaasss!
- I can do that one. - You can do that one?
- Yaaasss!
Can you do that one?
- Yaaasss!
- I'm pretty much not weirded out now.
- You're not?
- No, I'm comfortable.
- Good!
Anybody can do anything they want, if they want to wear
a dress, that's fine.
If they wanna wear pants.
- You need to believe!
- Yeah!
Just believe in it.
- Do you have any advice for us?
- Work hard, get good grades, make sure to make some time
to have some fun.
- I actually sometimes say this to myself: life is a
journey, not a race.
- Yeah!
That's good.
I like that philosophy.
See you!
- Bye-bye.
- Have a good day!
- Thank you!
- I'm Isabella Extynn and thank you for watching
