Mirror mirror on the wall, who has opened the most glamorous doors of them all?
*gay giggle* ... Gia Gunn.
The answer is Gia Gunn.
Hi Ugly, it's me, Bussy!
And welcome back to my channel.
Drag Con 2022 – it just transpired this past weekend – and my god ... there's been
drama from everyone!
Let's just say that.
Today we'll be covering some silliness from RuPaul, breaking down the fight between Kimora
and Adriana at the Canada's Drag Race 2 reunion that they live filmed, taking a peek into
the booth of the master wakestress Serena ChaCha, taking a look at the final – I hope
– chapter of Tamisha Iman and Monet Exchange, and finally we'll be going out with a bang
by covering Gia Gunn's call out of there being 0 glamour at the entire Drag Con, and taking
a look at how all of the queens there reacted on Twitter, and more specifically taking a
deeper look at the ongoing feud between Gia Gunn and Farrah Moan.
*gay siiiiiiiiiiiipppssssss*
But first ... breaking news !!! It's time to get cool for the summer with my favorite
grooming tools and today's video sponsor: manscaped.com.

Starting off with something silly, Jinkx put this post on Instagram which contains a video
clip of RuPaul forgetting her name.
"I told, um um ... this one right here, because your name is ...?"
"Jinkx."
*crowd laughter*
There is a lot of girls!
Jinkx took this in good spirit though and her caption was "definitely just a glitch
in the matrix.
(Nothing but love!
Reminds me of when my mom can't remember my name)" And RuPaul also did turn it up later
in the DJ booth at Drag Con which um, you know I've never seen in person, but always
looks like such a delight online.
Next up we've got the fight between Kimora Amour and Adriana from Canada's Drag Race
season 2.
This is what happened:
*unidentifiable*
"because you but you don't understand what that means ... hold on I want to say something
... when you go up there and you tell a black person or you are a black person and you go
to the people who are managing you ... and say you don't feel comfortable around them
... you feel threatened when you haven't said anything to them ... I haven't spoken to her.
I haven't said anything to her."
"You cyberbully her online."
"What's that?"
"You cyberbully her online though."
"Oh I cyberbullied her?"
"Yeah you do."
"Oh no no no.
You're not gonna assume that because what she has done and what her partner has done
is some bull[__]"
Now this has been an ongoing feud – we've talked about this before on my channel, but
here's what they had to say about this exchange on stage on Twitter after Drag Con:
Adriana wrote, "please do not harass her or mention my name in defense of me.
I don't want to cause this person any additional stress because of a misunderstanding.
My issues with my fellow S2 contestant have to do solely with attitude and our incompatibility.
I'm sorry that my request to not be together was misconstrued as something it absolutely
was not.
Attempts were made and ignored to address the situation in private so I unfortunately
had to reach out to production after receiving nothing but tweets and reels that I was blocked
from responding to.
As a Latino, I am proud LGBTQIA2+ community member I would never put anyone through discrimination
because of their skin or their relationships.
I will however ask not to sit beside you because you're being a [__]."
She further elaborated in another post with a screenshot of a DM or email that seems to
be between her and the production crew.
"If this ONLY MESSAGE I SENT TO THE TOUR PRODUCERS is racist to you, I am sorry."
"Hi, so sorry I missed this.
Please find the information below–"
Where she writes out some personal information and then finally at the very end, "I'd prefer
being far from–" where the name is censored – I guess we can assume here it was meant
to say Kimora.
And in this screenshot Adriana has added an additional note, "I NEVER said I felt threatened
by her.
Plus she's not the only black person in the cast as far as I know."
And that same day, Kimora wrote this on Twitter:
"This has absolutely ruined my mood ..my vibe..and my weekend...this is the end of dragcon for
me......I just want to go home.."
But we may never truly know all the details of what transpired between these two, but
I hope they can work through.
Now I'd like to take a visit into the booth of the magical wigstress, Serena ChaCha.
Kornbread posted this tweet with the video attached going through the wigs at her booth:
"As promised.
But to my surprise.
She was not there.
But the masterpieces were."
Girl ...... girl what is that ..? Girl these wigs are dry .... kind of like .... my god
..... wow girl the Sahara ain't got nothing on these wigs ... I mean hey, now we know
why Serena put that weird like baby powder dust thing on her wigs for her All Star 6
talent ... it's all making sense now.
I will make you no further comment on these wigs though.
I think the video speaks for itself.
And next up we've got the beautiful closing chapter of the tumultuous relationship between
Tamisha Iman and Monet Exchange.
If you're unfamiliar with the backstory, I actually made a bunch of videos covering this
topic last summer, and I've linked those in the description of this video.
On Instagram, Monet posted these videos of her going up to Tamisha at her booth and they
are clearly here seen playing into the joke:
"Hey Tamisha–"
*unidentifiable*
"it's time!"
*laughter*
"That's perfect"
And Tamisha was also seen on the pink carpet walking with Kandy Muse.
We love to see it.
We loooove to see it.
And now the moments you've all been waiting for ... the least glamorous part of this video
covering the least glamorous Drag Con ever ... the entire drag world started burning
down to a crisp this weekend when Gia Gunn tweeted out this: "Say what you want but I
saw 0 beauty at this year's Drag Con...what happened to the glamour?"
And then a few minutes later, 2:54am she tweeted this: "On the other hand...I think I was giving?
Rate my look 1-10 if you have the nerve!"
I would give this a solid seven.
So I saw these original tweets and had a good laugh myself ... I thought this is just Gia
being Gia.
She knows what to do and what to say to get people riled up and talking and that's just
kind of what she does!
This is her thing.
Was it a fair thing to say?
No!
But hey, it's drag.
And drag is shady and fun and silly.
Let's take a look at some of the other queens that actually attended DragCon's responses
to Gia's original tweet.
BenDeLaCreme wrote, "I'M SORRY I WAS JUST SO BUSY I'LL BE SURE TO POP BY NEXT TIME."
Gia Gunn said "didn't miss much sis."
Kahmora Hall wrote "Well damn" and she replied "You looked pretty mama"
Trixie Mattel quote tweeted Gia and wrote "Gia please never change lol"
Bosco replied to that writing "She is the funniest person in the world for this and
I will be her biggest fan til the day I die"
Pangina wrote on Twitter, seemingly referencing the situation, "Some doors need to be closed"
*gay giggle*
"While others worked hard and planned endless hours to create and uplift, others feel the
need to be messy for no reason.
Irrelevant"
Denali replied, "literally"
Océane Aqua-Black from Canada's Drag Race wrote, "I think this tweet is a little bit
hurtful and I say that with respect towards you without attacking you.
I put a lot of effort in my drag for my first DragCon like many people.
I even waved at you and you passed me by and ignored me totally."
Oh my god ... that's ... ok ... that was not very nice ...
And she is making a great point – this was the first Drag Con in 2 years because of the
you know, worldwide situation *ACHOO* and this likely meant a lot more to queens that
were attending for the first time than some of the seasoned veterans.
Which reminds me to tell everybody please go give all the queens who attended Drag Con
some love.
They put tons of work into attending and creating looks for the con, and in my opinion I think
everyone looked great.
If, you know, not in any way glamorous ... *gay giggle* seriously has to be one of the funniest
things that Gia has ever, ever said.
Shea quote tweeted Gia writing "A true comedy queen"
And Farrah Moan chimed in, "A true evil demon from hell queen"
*gay cackle*
I'm so sorry for laughing but like I'm gonna be laughing ... these are just so funny ... Bosco
also wrote under this tweet, "I'm obsessed tbh"
Jaymes Mansfield replied "Sorry I left my beauty at home, I didn't think anyone would
notice"
Kennedy Davenport replied, I love you sis... lolol what's not to love.. if "so [__] my
drag" was a person.
Oh wait it is.."
Heidi n' Closet chimed in writing, "Now I usually don't say anything especially when
it comes to messy, foolish, and clearly incorrect social media posts, but this time this Ms
Gia Gunn I feel like this is a step too far.
As sisters we should build each other up not tear each other down.
Until you learn that take a seat"
Ada Vox from Queen of the Universe replied "Damn... you saw everyone not serving beauty
or glamour & I didn't even know you were there...
guess it's better to be noticed and "unglamorous" than beautiful and invisible"
Crystal Methyd took the ironic approach writing "I stand with @GiaGunn.
hashtag #WheresTheGlamour"
Alaska replied "BRING BACK THE ERA OF GLAMOUR" with what is possibly my favorite photo set
of drag queens from Drag Race ever!
This is from the Vulture article titled "The most powerful drag queens in America ranked"
from 2019.
The backstory here being this was a huge meme and laugh in the drag community several years
ago because these photos are extremely harsh.
The photographer is known for this style, to their credit, however it's clearly just
not the best way to photograph drag queens.
Jasmine Kennedie wrote "Did @GiaGunn attend a Drag Con?
Girl stop trying to make your comments about the community of sisters when you're not even
there to be a part of it."
And then ... the Farrah Moan tweet ... "I know somebody that looks like the human embodiment
of the scream mask didn't just come for everybody's Drag Con looks lol"
I am remaining neutral ... neutral third party ... I'm just reading tweets here ... okay?
And the backstory here for why Farrah seemingly came so hard at Gia is they have had quite
a tumultuous relationship over the years, which dates back prior to even All Stars 4.
Here's a clip of Gia talking about their relationship from that time period:
"Me and Farrah were friends and then you know some other troll got in between us ... I love
her!
I think that she is talented but I do think she's young, I do think she is overly sensitive,
I think she lets things really get to her more than she should.
Bowling?
Is that what it's called?
I call it good TV."
The most recent drama from these two was actually just in these last two years.
In early 2020, Gia Gunn dropped this video:
"I think the whole [__] thing is [ __ ] ridiculous.
I honestly think this whole thing is a hoax."
To which Farrah Moan replied, "ST[__] and put your [__] on.
And stop attacking businesses on your social media for taking your temperature before entering.
People are [__]."
There were some more exchanges between them, but girl that's a deep hole to get into.
This past summer Gia Gunn tweeted out, "I just tested positive for [__].
Put on your effing [__]s!"
At which point of course it was open season on Gia as every queen came for her for the
video she had released the year prior.
That next day after announcing her status though, she said
"I'm going to clarify this once and will not be touching the subject again.
The video of me calling [__] a hoax is over a year old and since then have apologized
and owned up to my actions."
She then sent out some love and light ... and now that we've explained a little bit of backstory
between these two, let's jump back to the clapbacks concerning Gia's original 0 glamour
tweet.
After Farrah's scream mask tweet, Gia said this on Twitter:
"I'm an icon sweets, no need to stand in a bar and stall waiting to get the life [__]
out of me for pennies.
I've learned conserving your energy is far more valuable than fame or any dollar amount.
I give credit to all the queens who are visible this weekend!
Enough said."
And finally replied directly with a screenshot of that tweet writing,
"I know the girl/boy whatever you are who needs the drama to stay relevant is as inflamed
as the pillsbury doughboy and shames [__] burgers is not trying to come for it.
Don't you have [__] and [__] to be tending to my love?"
And Gia Gunn at this point finally replied to Trixie writing,
"[__] wears pumps, [__] dressers wear flats."
And Farrah later that day wrote,
"Uh-oh we've upset Miss ketami continental 2022"
And then that very next day Gia tweeted out this photo writing,
"Just a friendly reminder what glamour actually looks like.
You're welcome.
Have a nice day Twitter!"
She also wrote,
"Thanks for the views, likes, and comments!
I love you guys soo much"
Other queens continued to jump in on her original tweet though throughout the days and Priyanka
wrote,
"we feel the same way about u baby"
And Mariah wrote on Twitter without tagging anyone,
"When a Beta [__] that can't put her lashes on correctly has the nerve to say there was
quote 'No beauty or Glamour' at RuPaul's DragCon this year......... you just gotta look at
the source, laugh & take it with a grain of salt.
Everybody say LOVE!"
And the same day Shea chimed back in writing,
"Drag Con 2022 will one day be remembered as the year where no measurable or quantifiable
beauty was seen"
With Jujubee replying,
"Did you see my beauty???
I did!!!"
Mo Heart tweeted,
"Gather around kids I want to tell you a story..
The year was 2022 ... no measurable or quantifiable beauty was seen near or far..."
Alyssa Hunter continued in on this day writing,
"LOOK IN YOUR MIRROR" with the middle finger emoji.
Cynthia then tweeted out her own clap back with a video of her look writing,
"@GiaGunn the doors that you have opened and the eyes that I have blinded ..."
Hola mis amores
Nicky Doll replied writing,
"Oh girl please.
You're so messy"
And Gia Gunn replied to Nicky writing,
"You were one of the beauties my love!"
Trinity K. Bonet wrote,
"Lmaoooo just throw the whole phone away"
And Trinity the Tuck even finally chimed in on the 17th writing,
"I am reminded I'm sorry sis I had to," with this photo attached.
And at this point I just knew that I had to make a video, so I tweeted out this,
"Hi, just want to check in @GiaGunn and @farrahrized – are there any more tweets you would like
to add to the video?"
Farrah Moan replied, "I think I've mopped the four clean .. for now,"
Kornbread also replied saying, " [__] did you just ask"
Yes I did.
The journalistic integrity on the channel ... I'm just here to report the news and talk
about the drama ... so I did my due diligence.
And finally we see Farrah tweeting out this photo on the 18th of her dressed like Drew
Barrymore in the film Scream surrounded by two people in scream masks.
I think that's Farrah ... I actually can't tell ... it's kind of a low quality photo.
And that wraps up everything I've got for you today covering the Drag Con '22 drama.
I hope you enjoyed today's video.
I also want to say thanks today's video sponsor Manscaped, who you can check out the link
in the description of this video.
