- Just don't fall on, and don't look a it.
(electronic music)
- I'm Sam.
- I'm Tom.
- And we're here at the first ever DragCon UK
- Asking some Queens, some fan questions.
- Get it?
(laughs)
- Comedy.
Who is the shadiest queen that you know?
- Blu, but you wouldn't know it
she looks all innocent
but in real life she's a shady (beep sound)
- Oh my God, I don't know.
Oh, Morgan McMichaels.
- Oh, she's here.
I'm gonna to tell her.
- What a (beep sound) just kidding
(laughs)
- Me.
- I think we all saw that going.
- Yeah, I mean, well I'm not gonna lie.
- Other people have said you.
- Yeah, probably.
But I'm honest at least.
- Do you have any mantras that you
tell yourself before you go on stage? Any ?
- No
- No mantras?
- No, no mantras, but I make sure I'm showered and clean.
- That's good enough.
That's good enough for us.
- Yea, shower drag Queens.
- Not before I go on stage.
I'm usually pretty nervous during my first number,
but then after I get that over
the rest of the night is pretty good.
I have a lot of mantras or affirmed
like affirmations I tell myself
daily, not specifically for stage.
- What are those?
- It's a lot of them.
It's a lot of ones, I don't think we have time
to dive into my mental health issues,
but I have a lot of reminders that.
- I don't wanna do that.
- What others think of me is none of my business.
- I usually look back at my assistant and go,
I'll have the wing roulette from Nandos.
- Courting the right audience there.
- Oh yeah.
Nandos if you want that sponsorship,
reach out, Bob the Drag Queen.
- What is the hardest part of being a drag queen?
- I think the hardest part about being a drag queen
is that when you are home and
you're watching somebody else who's Uber successful
and you say to yourself, Oh my gosh,
you start to look at yourself and wonder,
what should I do differently?
That doesn't go away no matter how long you've done it.
- Oh really?
- You wanna continue to do your best
and bring work and then sometimes
you can get stuck in that comparison thing
and that's not a good place.
- Feet hurt a lot.
Not saying I'm wearing really comfortable shoes today,
like a boot.
- These boots are amazing.
- Thank you.
- Staying cool with all the tights, the boobs,
the makeup, the lashes everything and the hair,
it's just so hard.
So staying cool, calm and collected.
- Literally nothing because I love every single bit of it.
Ding.
- That's the answer we want, such a passion answer.
- I'm a passionate girl.
I'm a passionate girl.
- It hurts and it's hard to be enthusiastic
when you're not feeling it.
It's like a creative job
that you have to manifest creativity
or enthusiasm on the spot
and sometimes that's tough.
- Yeah, are you doing that right now?
- No, I'm having a great time.
I love the UK.
So I'm having a fabulous time.
- Who is the queen that you'd like to perform with,
who you haven't already?
- That I have not already?
I would love to perform with Yvie Oddly.
- Yes.
- Her.
- She's so great.
- But I don't wanna perform after her.
- Right.
- Right, and I wanna lip sync against her.
- Can you do it a crab?
Any acrobatic?
- No, I mean, I will,
I just recently celebrated my 30th birthday.
If I do any of that, I will probably break and be dead.
- You know I would actually like to go with Trinity.
Trinity the tuck.
I love her energy, her stage presence, she's stunning.
- Such a good dancer.
So I would love to perform with her.
I think we would do a good duet together.
- How long did it take you to perfect your GoTo mug?
- Oh (laughs) I tell Daryn like she's like,
you're not known for your face.
Well, I'm known for my faces.
I went to school for theater and I was in a ballet company
and so I have my basic stage face that I exaggerate.
I try to do some stuff,
like I had my lashes down here.
I was trying to be Trixie Mattel.
What the hell was I doing?
No housewife looks like that.
So I calmed down,
maybe I'll change a color or two.
But it's basic.
- It took a very long time to get to this.
If you scroll back far enough of me and Scrum
you can see that I couldn't do make up,
I was just practicing every time I had a gig.
It was no make up tutorials, no nothing
I was just like, what the hell am I doing?
- Practice makes perfect.
- Exactly.
And it's still not perfect.
- Who is your celebrity crush?
- Oh my God my celebrity crush, ow.
Oh my God they're so many,
I really love Channing Tatum,
I love Justin Timberlake.
I love men like Drake, oh my God.
- So many to choose from.
- Literally every male celebrity, I mean
I'm in love with.
- Russel Howards is one of those weird ones
that you find really attractive.
- Russel Howard?
- Yes.
- James McAvoy.
- James McAvoy?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- Because he's hot.
- Ugh. Chris Pine.
Yeah, I think that,
I have to tell you.
I love to see the gentlemen around here
that are barely with a beard.
And just, anybody that's too fine tuned,
I'm like oh that's gonna be competition.
- Now I'm gonna ask you a question.
My question to you is,
what's the best read you've ever received?
- Am I about to hear it?
That's the real question.
- No I wouldn't read you.
- Oh thank you, I couldn't take it.
- I've ever received?
- Yeah.
- I get chipped.
You are very, very harsh.
(laughter)
- No one has ever tried to read me.
They can't.
I'm unreadable.
- That's it, that's our fan questions.
So, thank you so much Sharon.
- Well thank you buzz face.
I love you, I love you, I love you. Done.
- Amazing, thank you so much to talk to Buzz Feed.
- Bye Buzz Feed.
- Thanks.
