- Ho, ho, ho ho ho.
(cheering)
I still say no.
(laughing and cheering)
- Wow.
- My name is Madison.
- I am Debbie Roundtree.
- Well, I'm prepared to make assumptions
and stereotype and,
what do you guys have me doing?
I don't even know.
- Oooh.
- I can do that.
I'm really good at that, not guessing,
but I love drag.
- It's like a performance art.
- It's a person who dresses as another gender.
I find it very entertaining,
very exciting and a lot of fun.
- I don't know why I agree to this stuff.
- Let's do this.
- Hi hun, I'm Aaron.
Nice to meet you.
- You have great eyes and a beautiful smile.
- Thank you.
- Do you define yourself as an artsy person?
- Yes.
- Really, what kind of art are you into?
- Dancing.
- Like (hums).
Oh, oh.
Oh, I like that.
- I'm a cheer coach, so it's like...
(laughs)
Cheer for us.
- Can you show me some runway moves?
- Yes.
(laughing and cheering)
That was phenomenal.
- Oh my god.
- You have the moves baby,
but they're just not the right ones.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna say no.
- You're a cheer coach for Christ's sakes.
I believe you participate in drag.
- Shante you stay.
(cheering)
- Hi.
- I'm Devin.
- I'm Madison.
- [Together] Nice to meet you.
(laughing and cheering)
- You have great eyelashes.
- Thank you.
- I think I see some glitter.
(laughs)
- They told me to come camera ready.
- Oh.
- Do you like wearing wigs?
- Okay.
- Oh, they have one ready.
- My hair.
- Let me see some moves, let me see some moves.
- Some moves?
Oh, I don't dance.
- Let me see some drag moves.
You don't dance? - I don't dance.
- You gotta have some moves,
you gotta have rhythm in your body.
I'm gonna say no.
- 'Cause of the glitter and I'm diggin' the shoes,
I'm gonna say you are a drag queen.
- [Together] Bye.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Good, I'm Arizona.
- Messhia.
- From the get-go the main stereotype
is that only guys can partake in drag.
- Yeah.
- Okay. So.
- What types of things do you like to do at night?
- I like to play open mics,
I play guitar, I like to sing.
- Can you sing something for me?
♪ I don't wanna go home right now ♪
- Damn.
- She has a really great singing voice.
She should just be a singer.
- Yeah, just go straight to American Idol.
- But, don't drag performers sing as well?
- Yeah, but I feel lip syncing is more it.
But, I do think you have a beautiful voice.
- Thank you. - I do.
- I wanna see your walk.
That was a good ass fuckin' walk.
- Yes.
- I believe you're a drag queen.
- No, she isn't.
- Now, I'm not feeling confident.
(laughs)
- Hello. - I'm Scotty.
Nice to meet you, Scotty.
- Nice to meet you too.
- Alright.
I'm terrible at this.

- Mama you are serving me high fashion,
sister Mary, Beetlejuice right now.
(laughing and cheering)
Read me.
What would you say about me?
- I mean...
Where are you eyebrows?
(laughing)
- Oh man, you put me on the spot.
- Fascinating man, but no drag.
- The reason why I think you're a drag queen is because,
you have great style and you don't have eyebrows.
Jesus, sorry.
- Shante you stay, final answer.
- Hi. - Hey.
I'm Madison.
- I'm Travis.

Get yo salsy ass over here.
- I'm London Bradshaw.
- Look at you.
- You can feel me if you want too.
That's all couch cushion.
- Like that.
- Ashley Home Furniture, you're welcome.
(laughs)
- London, how often are you London?
- Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night,
sometimes Sunday night if the price is right.
- Do you have any dance moves that you can show me?
- Yeah.
- [Travis] Oh my god.
(screams)
- I like that.
Alright, very good.
- How you doin, I'm Shawn Knight.
- I got this one wrong.
- What do you put on for the facial hair?
- My facial hair is actually my hair.
- Oh shit.
- My barber saves it and I just glue it on.
You wanna touch it?
- Yeah.
Fuck! That's awesome.
When did you start?
- 2006.
I'm a preacher's daughter,
I kind of don't fit that mold.
I just live vicariously through Shawn.
- What would you say has changed in the drag scene?
- Drag is now more outside the box
and people can be more of not just a certain type of thing.
You don't have to shave your beard to be drag.
As long as you identify as a drag performer, it's nice.
- Yeah, you tricked me.
You got it going on boo.
You got it goin' on.
- Look at you.
Hello, hello, what is your name?
- I am Betty Wetter.
I never miss a soda before bed.
- Oh, wow.
- You tricked me too.
- I did trick you.
- Oh my god.
Just look at how beautiful you are.
Everything is just like, yeah, it's all good.
- Thank you. - It's all good.
- I feel like we're kinda matching.
- Walk for me.
I wanna see your walk.
Fall, winter 2018, darling.
- [Debi] Oh, yes, work it baby, work it.
- Oohh.
Wait a minute, spread 'em.
(laughs)
- That's what I do in most of my performances.
- Come on down.
What is your name?
- Thumb Daddy, but you can call me Daddy.
- Alright, I will.
(laughs)
- Aww, you fell for it Mama.
- I did.
- What made you decide to get into drag?
- I started in the Vogue Ball scene
and I realized that I identified a lot more with drag queens
and faggots than I did with heavy dikes and that community.
I got told by a lot of people because I had long hair
and I loved heels and short skirts as a lesbian,
that I was just playing into my patriotical role.
I felt really invisible
and then I shaved my head and it just blew up.
Now, I talk a lot around feminism-ability
and how drag is for everyone.
It doesn't matter what you are 'cause gender is dead.
Yeah, that's how I came to be this.
- Fuckin' love it.
- Hello.
- I guessed this one right.
- I'm so proud of you.
My name is She.
- Hello, She.
- Hello.
- Oh, again, and again alright.
- What is a night in performing as a drag queen?
- My performances are very theatrical and fun
and crazy and camp-y and stupid.
Some of them are so stupid.
I did a show with London called, Weird,
were I literally just squeezed lemons in my eyes
to a song called Lemon Eyes.
- (laughs) I'm sorry.
You saw this London?
- That's a lie.
That's a lie.
(clapping)
- All of you are amazing.
- It was super fun.
- I learn something different
every time I've been in a video.
- You don't have to have a beard, you can have a beard,
it's way more flexible than what I thought it was.
- If I get a chance to, I look forward to it.
