âª I am American âª
- We are the largest and fiercest
tour starring drag queens in the world.
âª My, my, my, my country tis of thee âª
âª These are all my friends, we are a family âª
[gasps, screams]
âª This is who I am and who I want to be âª
[cheers and applause]
- My life is a drama
with a beginning, a middle, and no end.
Almost. [laughs]
It's addicting, you know, the escapism,
the glamour, the high you get from performing.
It's totally addictive.
And it's something that I'm like, constantly chasing.
It's almost like therapy for me in a way,
because I get to kind of shut off reality
and escape on the stage for a minute.
People need this. I need this.
People just need fantasy, and they need empowerment,
and they need an alternate universe,
and they need the script to get flipped.
And this gives that to them.
And I think it's powerful.
I really want them to forget about everything
and just focus on the performance,
and not think about any of the trauma in their life.
I totally want them to just be like, entranced.
I want the glamour to do what it's supposed to do,
and I want to glamour them.
[atmospheric music]
- The tour is very polarizing.
But I really enjoy things
that you kind of love to hate, and hate to love.
And I think a lot of people feel that way about me.
It almost feels like summer camp or something,
which is kind of horrible and amazing at the same time.
- I tell them, I love drag.
- Oh, I love it. - I love drag.
- I love drag, because it's fierce.
And fun.
- I love drag because I love to get ready.
- You love to get ready. - I love to get ready.
Violet takes naps,
and then she throws on the mug
really quick.
Some say that sometimes she bases off her nap
about how far along I am with my makeup,
so that lets her know when she should start painting.
Kenny told me that.
- Um, I'm on my own schedule, my own time.
I'm my own person.
I don't even see her. She doesn't even exist to me.
- Your farts exist in my room.
She farts in the room.
And she wants to sit like she doesn't exist.
- You're nothing to me.
You don't even exist to me.
- You don't even exist to me!
- Thank you for being a friend.
- You are shit! You're sorry?
- He's sorry? - Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
- Sorry, sorry, sorry! - Ahhh!
- Sorry, sorry, sorry!
- You look so ugly when you do that.
If you saw yourself in the mirror while doing that,
I'm sure you would never do it again.
- Is that how you feel?
Is that how you want America to see you?
Calling me ugly when they know that I'm not?
- No, no, mi amor. - Is that you want to be viewed?
It doesn't seem very congenial to me.
Does it seem congenial to you, America?
I didn't think so.
Flip the switch, baby, flip the switch.
Turn on the congeniality for the cameras. Let's go.
- Like this? - Yes. Give us a wink.
- But Brandon Voss flew me economy, girl.
- Well, I mean, I'm not saying that he has favorites,
but I'm also not not saying that he has favorites.
Show biz, kid.
- I'm not a kid. [laughter]
- Me and Violet are really close. We're sisters.
We're actually neighbors.
And she's kind of like the queen
I think that I'm the closest with on the tour.
Oo, oo, oo, oo.
- Boop-boop-be-doop, boo.
- We really kind of bond
at like, complaining and being divas together.
- Yeah, my flight's at 3:00 AM.
- That's not cute.
- I love Valentina.
I love her brand.
I like that she knows who she is.
I like that she knows her audience.
Um, I think she's still learning,
which I see a lot of myself in her,
because I'm very young as well.
But she didn't really have kind of
the old-school upbringing that I have.
Like I was doing drag three or four nights a week
before Drag Race. - I said lovely.
- And it's fun for me to watch and be a part of it.
And feel like her big sister a bit.
- How cute. I love it.
- I was a fan of Violet's when she was on the show.
And she's a fantastic entertainer.
So I really enjoy her.
- I have left the tour twice already to go do other projects.
I just walked the Moschino--
I just closed the Moschino show
with an aerial performance
and then flew back immediately.
So that was pretty intense.
But it was really amazing and worth it.
And I had a really good time.
But it definitely is a dramatic shift
going from like something really kind of high end,
like, closing the Moschino show,
to kind of touring on a bunkbed bus
with a bunch of crossdressers.
I mean, this kind of looks like the Kevin Federline--
- Was it--is that him? - Yeah, it was Chaotic.
It was, yeah, Kevin and-- we're not moving, right?
- Yes. - We're moving. We're leaving--
- At a glacial pace.
But, okay, now we're picking up speed.
No, seriously, why are we moving, though?
- I walked by and the guy goes, "No one tells me anything."
I was like, sounds about right.
- Which guy? - The driver.
- I don't know anything.
- They're always after me Lucky Charms.
[laughter] - Shut up.
Leprechaun in the hood up to no good.
- We're in Germany, bitch.
- But can we talk about your 15 minute mega-mix at the end?
- Yeah.
- I was like--I was like, "Oh bitch, Shangela's on.
I gotta go. I gotta get down there."
My makeup drying, lash falling off, nails busted.
I run downstairs and we saw ten minutes left of your mega-mix.
- Oh, my God, that mix was like never-ending.
- Literally. We were like, oh, my God, it's over.
- And then, bow!
And she comes back with Halo, and I'm like--
- God damn, bitch, get the hook.
Get the hook. - Dim the lights.
- The dynamic between the queens is very mixed.
Some of us are really good friends.
Some of us are just coworkers.
Some of us were on the same season together,
so we kind of met each other in a competitive way.
You're all kind of feeling each other out,
and trying to get along, and do the job.
- Hold up, I was trying to see before everybody comes
if there's a place I can get some food for everybody.
- Oh, they're stopping for food. - But where, mama?
- That's what I want to know. - I just talked to Brandon--
- Have they sourced the place. That's the question.
- It's gonna be a truck stop.
- Shangela. - Huh?
- I've looked everywhere around like, two nights ago.
There's nothing open. - Is there like a 24 hour diner?
- It's not a thing-- we're not in America.
- Well, I just feel like every-- we have money to spend--
I got money to spend in here.
There should be food available.
- Y'all don't wanna serve food in here?
Big mistake. Big mistake.
- I want a chicken avocado club sandwich
with a side of fries and some ranch dressing.
House cut chips sounds really good.
But are you talking like American chips
or like British chips? - I'm talking about crisps.
- Crisps. Yeah. Salt and vinegar.
- There's no food.
Love that. I love that for me.
It's on brand.
- Miss Violet is the fashion diva.
It inspires me to go and put a couple more stones
on some of my things.
- She's probably the bougie one of the group.
The one who don't like still water.
You know, she's very, uh, entitled.
And we just love that about her.
- One, two, three.
Somebody get her bottom side, David.
- Oh, I thought you was doing it just two of us.
Sorry.
- The work that Violet does is phenomenal.
She probably like the most polished drag queen
that I've ever seen.
And I think also, like, she's probably the most
overly confident person I know,
to the point where it's sometimes a bit reckless.
She's not very sensitive to, like, the need of others.
- Why is no one ready?
- Violet, shut up.
- I saw her show
and did not realize how stunning, gorgeous,
beautiful, and talented she really was
with her aerial act. Like, I was moved.
That spoke over all the bullshit that she puts out.
[laughter]
When she's so self-absorbed with herself.
But she is absolutely a stunning queen
when she's pulled together after being late.
She's absolutely exceptional.
Before that bitch, get your shit together.
Chop, chop.
[dance music]
- Wanna do that one more time? - Yep.
- I've worked with Violet in ensemble casts for years,
and she's never been on time.
âª Werq the world âª
- Yeah. I take my time to get ready.
I mean, that's like half of my gig is the aesthetics.
And a lot of stars are, "I'm ready when I'm ready."
And it takes however long it takes.
And that's very me.
And it's like I'm not doing this for anyone else besides me.
So, that's just a fact.
[atmospheric music]
- Her travel look is not complete without the clutch.
[indistinct conversations]
- In a suitcase, not a merch bag...
- Sharon is amazing.
I get along really well with her.
She's really easy to poke fun at,
and she's a good sport about it,
which I really, really enjoy.
- Here you go. It matches.
- Oh! This--is this leather?
[laughter]
- Winners kind of have a certain level of respect for each other,
and a certain level of rapport.
- I asked you could you please leave your earring glue out.
- Well, I wasn't listening.
I have these giant earrings on.
- I'm sure putting Super Glue on your body
is real healthy for you, right? Every night.
If our fucking knees don't and hips don't go out first,
we'll probably get Super Glue cancer.
- Okay, then we need the shoes. - Yep, they're in here.
- [burps] - Oh, grow up.
- Fuck off, Sharon.
- That was rich.
Oh, it smells like burned macaroni and cheese.
Kraft.
- I'm dairy free.
- Violet's our little diva of the group.
Something is always getting under her skin, but I like that.
I mean, if you're in seven-inch fetish shoes
and corseted within inches of your life,
I don't really see why you would be that sunny to begin with.
- I mean, I would like to cut it.
- Do we have time to cut-- what--time check?
- Going to stage. Cue the musac.
- A lot of people presume
that drag queens are these happy-go-lucky clowns,
and sometimes I like someone to be a little bit of a bitch
to remind them who's boss.
And she's the boss. Applesauce.
She's a bad bitch. She's a wicked witch.
- Look at her. - Oh.
- Sorry, folks.
- So glad you all took a flight attendant theme.
- Well, no, they said traveling look.
- It's glamorous traveling look.
- Oh.
- If you read the email, you would have known.
- I'm flying private jet, so. - Same.
- [laughs]
I think we're on the same jet, right?
- You know, we could go to like, a themed show.
- I'm probably flying right out the window
on some cheap airline.
- And I'm new money that just walked--
- You're very-- these glasses are--
- She's hood rich is what we call her.
- Yeah, I'm new money. I married into money.
I got invited and didn't know how to dress.
[laughter]
- You got invited, but bought those sunglasses--
- This is what I think is glamorous.
- This mirror is tiny. Let me see.
- Right. - That's so crazy.
[laughter]
- Literally we have the smallest mirrors in the world.
- Literally. - Did you see them yesterday?
It was like a sliver... [atmospheric music]
- This is like, the height of drag.
- Remember stage left.
- Drag has never bigger than it is now.
And I don't know if it's going to die off
or what's going to happen in the future,
but as it stands right now, we're like at the height of it.
And we're like the figureheads.
It's just really cool to be able to say, like,
we're living through the moment
where drag is the biggest it's ever been.
And it's really cool to be a part of that.
- They're so cute. - Oh, they are so cute.
- Stunning.
- We have a past. - Oh, look at, look at that.
Get that. Get the...
- I'll try one day.
- Try bottoming you said?
- Here she comes. - Diana Ross.
- I'm practicing these words.
Hi, cumin--oh, fuck.
Yes, thank you. [speaking foreign language]
[repeating in foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
- Okay, girl, don't even play.
- This tour is like, it's historical, I think.
And sometimes you forget that.
Sometimes you forget that what we're doing
is really groundbreaking.
And we're going to be able to look back on this
and be like, that was like, amazing for drag.
And it was kind of punk. And it is kind of like DIY.
And there are problems. There are bumps in the roads.
We're not BeyoncÃ©. We're not super mainstream.
And this is going to go wrong, and that's going to go wrong.
And we're going to be late. And there's going to be drama.
But through all of it you have to remember,
like, this is the coolest shit.
[cheers and applause]
[atmospheric music]
- My favorite one, I like all the queens
but my, yeah, my favorite is Violet Chachki.
- I like, drew her as a mermaid,
because she awakened that queer spirit in me.
- I came to bother you.
My favorite aunt. - Well, it's already working.
- [laughs]
Are you going to be lovely on the grand staircase?
- It's going to be great. - Your hair looks nice.
- Are you going to come watch me?
- Mm-hmm. Do you want me to root for you?
- I want you to cheer me on.
- Be like, oh, my God, yes bitch.
Inspiring future generations of drag.
- Leave milk alone.
Leave milk out of this.
- All right, male shoes.
- Los zapatos.
- Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen you wear nails.
- Okay, you're not going to read me
on my own photoshoot, bitch. Oh, my God.
- You look good. She looks lovely, y'all.
Who's this for? - For me.
- Oh really?
- I'm like, look, we're in a beautiful space.
I have to get ready two hours early. It's fine.
- So you just called the photographer.
- Yeah, it's my friend's friend.
- We love fresh content.
- It's all about the content, girl.
It's for the kids.
Gotta give the kids the content.
I really want to get, like, my own app, and start charging.
- Are you shooting in all your looks?
- No, just a few of them.
- Violet is a character I created.
Well, it's kind of become, like,
half part of who I am now and half a character.
She's super dark, and mysterious,
and fashionable,
and chic, and glamorous,
and confident.
- Let's go upstairs to the gilded chandelier a moment.
- Okay, okay.
- She used to be a lot more dark.
I wanted her to be like, super, super dark
and mysterious, and like vampy.
Like I think vampy was kind of my--the word.
So for the first like, two years
I was really just, wearing all black
and like very like, Bettie Page, Dovima.
[camera clicks]
- We want to see more.
- Well, me too, sweets.
Are there any other spots in here
that we could get a good shot?
- There's kind of a little pathway there
we haven't looked at.
- You can get like the columns, the chandelier.
- Yeah, we can try.
- I got the name Violet from Jennifer Tilly
in the movie Bound.
She looks like a vampire,
and she wears the batons and Chanel,
and she wears all black,
and she has like, this really raspy voice.
And is like very sexy.
It was like really queer, and really glamorous,
and really dark.
And I was like that's the woman I want to be.
Like, feminist, glamorous,
dark, sexy, label whore.
And so that's kind of who I modeled my character after.
[laughter]
- Oh, hell no.
Take some behind-the-scenes. - I will.
- Boomerangs, go all out. Get creative.
I mean, I've definitely strayed away
from like, my original thought.
I've done, like, I mean, you kind of have to.
When I first started, I was doing like three shows a week.
And it's like you have the same audience,
so you have to keep reinventing yourself.
I would do like lots of different things,
and I became blonde for a minute,
and I'd do a bunch of other things.
And now I'm kind of back to like,
what I originally started doing,
which is kind of a dark, glamorous girl.
- She's definitely like a showgirl.
She's a burlesque girl,
which kind of has an attitude that comes with it.
And you just sort of accept that about her.
If you don't like it, you stay away.
If you accept her for who she is,
you just put up with her.
- Oh, my God, please don't drop me.
Please don't drop me. - I'm not going to drop you.
- She's always trying to like, needle you,
so you just have to laugh it off,
and then she respects you for it.
Or if you fight back a little bit at her,
she respects you more, too.
- These are very nice shoes.
- I just walked through mud for you.
- One and two, and...
- I have the front line.
- I'm from Atlanta.
I was born and raised there.
I went to Catholic school.
And we had lots of rules regarding gender,
and like, uniform, and dress codes,
and religion.
So, for me, I was always asking at a really young age,
like, you know, why can't I wear a first communion dress?
Or like why do the girls get to wear
really pretty communion dresses
and why do I have to wear khaki pants?
And I was always getting in trouble for dress code
violations, like, always.
That combined with like religion
really drove me to ask all these really important questions
that kind of led me to discovering drag
and cross-dressing, and experimenting with clothing.
- Wearing the same thing every day is really boring,
so I think using clothing
as kind of a glamorous form of rebellion
was kind of what got me started in drag.
And then I went out in drag for the first time when I was 17.
I would kind of put my uniform on Monday through Friday,
and then like, Friday night would roll around,
and I'd totally have like, a face full of makeup on,
and do like a really androgynous thing.
And I would go out to-- I was going out
to college parties and like house parties
when I was in high school.
And on the weekend I would live my reality.
I would live my fantasy,
I guess, I'd try to make it a reality.
And then during the week, I would have this
Catholic school reality.
So that the reality versus fantasy
has always been like, a big narrative for me.
- Five, six, seven, eight.
- Lovely. All right, closing.
- Fuck my drag, right.
[indistinct conversations]
- Do you love meet and greets?
- Oh, my God.
Meet and greets are my favorite part of my job.
- Violet, you're over here.
- Because Valentina's late, so they wanted to--.
You can help her, but then you're come back through
your line all over again.
- She likes to pull trade at the meet and greet, girl.
- I beg your pardon.
- She likes to pull trade at the meet and greet.
This is what she does. She goes--
pretend like you're meeting us.
- Oh, my God. This is hateful.
- Hi Violet. - Hey, baby.
- Hi baby. How are you?
- Where is your husband at?
- I don't have a husband.
- Oh, you don't have a husband.
Let's get this photo, baby.
- Click, click, click. All right.
Now you make sure you tag me in that photo, all right?
- Oh. - We'll see you later.
- I will. - Halleloo.
That's what she does.
- [laughter] - That's what she does.
And she'll do it at least five times a night.
- No. Oh, my gosh, this is so hateful.
I'm in Paris, it's the city of love.
I'm just open to lovely experiences.
- Girl, she's upset because I just clocked her shit on camera.
And all of them are going--
- No, let the record show that Violet has picked up the gig.
You watch.
Some big old burly artistic man comes rolling up
in through here with muscles and stuff, tall.
She likes them tall. - Well, I'm subtle, bitch.
- Oh really? This is subtle.
Come to me. - What do I do?
- Hi, Violet. - First of all,
she's not getting up for you.
- Hi Violet. How are you?
- Hello. Good. - How are you?
- That's nice.
- I do not do that, bitch.
What I do, I go, I go, "Hey cutie."
- No, do it, ready, ready, ready?
- She gives me the eyes. She gives the eyes.
- I go, "Hey, cutie."
- And then hold the hand.
- Double pull shake.
- Yeah, you've got to get this.
- Double pull shake, I live.
- And then got-- you squeeze it a bit. You go.
- Thank you, baby. - Thanks, baby.
- I'm not rubbing-- - This is called drag flirting.
We're just-- we're having fun.
It's the city of love. It's Paris.
I'm a romantic. What can you say?
- I don't necessarily enjoy doing meet and greets.
It's really draining.
I really enjoy performing, and being on stage.
That's what I signed up for.
When I applied for Drag Race, that's what I wanted to do.
It's totally a lot to get in full drag
and then meet 150 people,
one after the other, and then do a show.
Of course, people are going to probably watch us,
and be like, oh here she goes.
Entitled, complaining.
She's so privileged and lucky to do this job.
And she doesn't want to do the meet and greet.
Da-da-da-da. But it is, like,
it's draining.
I mean, bottom line, I love meeting the fans.
I love hearing the stories.
I love getting real connections with people,
but when you're meeting 150 people in an hour,
that's less than 60 seconds a person.
It's really hard to have an authentic interaction.
The only way to really get through it is just be like,
"Hi, how are you? Do-do-do-de-de-de okay, bye."
Like, I really do not enjoy being fake.
If you watched Drag Race, or you watch any of my work,
like, it's really hard for me to be phony
or lie...
or my body will not let me be disingenuous.
It's like a consumerism aspect of the artistry
that I really don't agree with, I guess.
But it's part of the job, so you have to do it.
- Are you two husbands? - No.
- Oh, Lord, you know, me and Violet,
it's her birthday, almost.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
- June 13.
- It's coming up. Special surprise.
Ah! Living.
- Thank you so much. - Thanks for coming, babe.
- Bye, gorgeous.
[chatter, singing]
- Hot commodity around here. - Thank you, baby.
- Nail glue, towels,
and dinner at the end of the night.
- I was like, oh, she got nails.
Oh, those are pretty nails, though.
- Yeah, they work.
- Bitch, you just can't be happy about nothing.
- What do you mean?
Girl, you want me to do a dance about the nails? Damn.
Bitch, I said, yeah, they're cute.
And she's like, "You're just not happy about anything."
Can I just exist?
Is that okay? - Can I breathe?
- Is it okay if I just exist
and react naturally to things?
- You're pretty, like, agnostic when it comes to everything.
- Girl. These hos wear me out.
- Quickly humbled.
[laughter] - Quickly humbled.
- What, would I go back here? - Yeah.
- I'm very, girl, I know. I got to the hotel,
I was quickly-- very quickly humbled.
Okay, don't do that much, girl.
Just a little dob.
- Think of the paycheck at the end.
- No, it's going to be-- I'm in a great mood.
I don't know what y'all are on about.
- That's it, or do one up here? - Do it all over, bitch.
Yeah. See where all the old glue was?
- No. - There you go. Lovely.
The word of the day is "blow."
I'm in a great mood.
- I'm not saying you're not in a great mood,
I'm just saying you're always such a pessimist.
[laughter]
- I prefer the term realist.
- I mean, the world is going to shit, so I guess so.
- I mean, let's be real. - Mm-hmm.
- This tuck looks me, though, huh?
Ambiguous genitalia, bitch.
That's my new single.
[laughter] Ambiguous.
[upbeat music]
- Violet Chachki!
[cheers and applause]
- At least we're in Paris. Okay.
That's what I'm talking about.
Do you know what happens when you feel like such a woman
because your hair gets caught in your lip gloss.
Ugh.
Oo, ah, oo.
- Give me this. All right, let's go.
- Violet!
- Coming. - She's coming.
- Whenever I get really involved in something,
I really just like, want to do it
to the most extreme you could possibly do it at.
Once I had gotten kind of addicted to it,
which I think is like a very real thing for all of us.
And then it becomes, like a reality.
Then all of a sudden I'm introducing myself as Violet,
and I'm like telling the Starbucks lady
my name is Violet.
And all your friends know you as Violet.
And you kind of get to live your false reality.
For a while, I definitely was contemplating transitioning
and kind of living as a woman full time.
But I don't really think that's for me. I don't know.
I mean, the line of genders is super blurred.
I identify as gender fluid or gender queer,
which basically means I can decide whatever I want,
whenever I want.
It definitely gets blurred sometimes,
and I think that's very healthy for someone like me.
[cheers and applause]
For burlesque it's really important
to engineer the outfit
to come off in a really glamorous,
fluid kind of way.
So wardrobe is always really important in drag
and in burlesque.
And I've always really loved beautiful, beautiful makeup.
I think that lends itself really well to this.
[music]
[cheers and applause]
- Usually there's an element of striptease,
and I like striptease because it's always about the costume.
Again, it goes back to wardrobe,
and using wardrobe and clothing
as a form of empowerment,
and as a really significant part
of what I do as a drag queen.
- Some nights I'm really not feeling it.
And sometimes I'm like, I did that.
I fucking killed that.
And you get like a bit of a high off of performing.
You always want to be like, chasing that high
constantly through performing.
- Violet just ended her number.
That is my sister, my friend.
She's a little grumpy, but we still love her anyway.
And I do because she's Mr. Grinch,
and I'm Cindy Lou Who, who believes
that she has a heart somewhere in there.
- Somewhere in there. [laughter]
- And she is very--this is a very important show for her.
And she will not say it
because she's fashion fashion, you know.
And everybody in Paris loves her.
And she just finished her number.
Miss Violet Chachki, how do you feel tonight?
How do you feel? - Slayed it, double Dutch.
- Double Dutch. - Double Dutch, girl.
- There you go. Go question her.
I need to change.
Go, go, choo, choo, choo.
- [sighs] That felt good.
For Paris, the energy here is great.
Usually they're just like silently clapping. Yeah.
- They can be a little timid.
- Well, last time I performed here, well,
the first time I performed here, they were just kind of like.
- Excuse. - Excuse the beauty.
- Ex-cuse... - The...
- ...Beauty. - Want tights off?
- Let's take these off.
- Isn't your birthday on one of the show days?
- No, it's the day after. - It's the day after.
- The 14th. - I thought it was the 13th.
- No, the show is the 14th. My birthday is the 13th.
- My birthday, I mean,
it would have been cute to have like a birthday moment.
Nope, nothing happened. No birthday shout-out for me.
- Happy birthday, babes.
- âª Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you âª
âª Happy birthday dear Violet âª
- 25? - 26.
- You're going to become a nice old lady.
Wait until you're 30. That's when the fun begins.
- I'm like, oh, my God.
Hot buttered garbage.
What is rotting inside of you?
- There she goes.
- What are we doing for my birthday?
- We had a big party last night, but you weren't here.
- Once again, things that I can't do. Voss Events.
- You left. You left me.
You ditched me in Paris.
I had a big nice dinner planned for you.
- What was the big, nice dinner?
- Well, I can't tell you. I would ruin the surprise.
- Ruin the--well, I want to know,
there better be-- this is my birthday week.
My birth week.
- Got all cupcakes and cakes and--
- Got her little birthday celebrated on stage.
She said because Detox is a people person.
She deserves a birthday celebration, but I don't.
That's what she was saying. - Oh, girl.
- Yeah, they all-- - You're a fucking liar.
- They're all coming for me here at Werq the World.
Not a birthday cupcake. Not a birthday shout-out.
No damn sheet cake.
Bitch, no, just uh,
make sure you stick around for the meet and greet
with Violet after the show. That's all I got.
- Because she was late. [laughter]
- You got your ass handed, bitch.
Oh, they got our gal. They got her.
- No muffin. No cup--no cannoli.
No petit fours.
- You barely want to eat the meatloaf upstairs.
She ain't eating no muffin.
- Nothing. No Swedish delicacy dish.
No microphone shout-out. Nothing. Zilch.
- I sent her a personal text.
Didn't I send you a nice personal text?
I feel lovely. I covered my base.
- No emojis, though. - No, there were no--
- Let me check. Hold on. - No birthday cake emoji,
no box emoji, no balloon emoji.
You know you can send it and it will send balloons
when you open it? None of that.
- I think I misspelled birthday, that's why.
- Yeah. - Oh, here it is.
I wrote, "Happy--" oh, I sent three texts.
"Happy birthday...yesterday."
- "You know I'm never on time." Boom.
- "Happy birthday yesterday. You know I'm never on time."
- But bitch, when I'm not on time, bitch,
it becomes a big drama. - Here we go.
- All right, Jasper.
- âª Happy birthday to you âª
âª Happy birthday to you âª
âª Happy birthday... âª
âª Violet Chachki the Grinch âª
âª Miss Jason âª
âª Happy birthday to you âª
- The surprise!
âª Happy birthday to you âª
âª Happy birthday dear Violet âª
âª Happy birthday to you âª
Blow out the candles.
- Thank you. Muah.
- Thank you guys. We'll see you at the afterparty.
[cheers and applause]
- Fancy cake for you. - I'm dairy free.
- I didn't know. I didn't know.
It may be mousse. - It's free cake.
- I'm kidding. Thank you.
- Happy birthday. - Thank you.
Me? My birthday? Oh, it was two days ago.
But it's nice that I get some recognition, you know, finally
after I had to call them out on camera.
But better late than never, right?
Slice it up, huh?
- Slice it up. - Slice it up.
Some humble pie will be nice for me, don't you think?
A slice of humble pie. Huh?
It was lovely, gal.
I'm ready to go.
Goodbye. Until the fall.
We'll do it all over again.
I really enjoy what I do.
I enjoy the majority of this tour.
And I enjoy performing on stages.
And I enjoy having a greater freedom.
I don't really see myself, like,
dancing for dollars when I'm older.
Part of me is like, really longing for more
for myself and from my career,
but I do get to see the world at a really young age.
And I can look back,
and be like, okay I did all that.
And I went to all those places
and performed for those huge audiences.
So that aspect of it really appeals to me.
