Trixie Mattel is one of America’s most popular drag queens. At a time when drag shows are being banned across the country, we revisit an interview with the outspoken diva herself. Trixie believes it’s ludicrous that she can “buy a gun but not wear a wig”. In this interview, she takes Isobel Yeung through her own journey — from growing up poor in a trailer, to idolizing all things Barbie. Trixie loves being famous, and passionately defends the art of drag.
True dat! Everything is pretty backwards in terms of human priorities… rational thought seems to have gone out the window. Check out the Vice doc after the jump!
I’m sorry but there is no reason to have dragtime stories, it’s creepy. Unless you have your own kids , there’s absolutely no need for grown adults to place themselves in locations associated with kids….. other than to provoke people and stir the pot.
I’m 57 and I grew up going to public schools in what were considered to be outstanding school districts in the northeast. We regularly had adults come to class as a apart of projects who were actors, dancers, historical interpreters and zoo personnel all of whom wore makeup and costumes. We all looked forward to those days – it was a great educational tool. To say that “there’s no need for grown adults to place themselves in locations associated with kids” is ignorant, short sighted and stereotyping.
I don’t think you or other people should be telling parents how to raise their child it’s THEIR child
