  • - Okay, I can do this.

  • - If it hurts, just work it.

  • - That is my balls up here,

  • and then my dick is back here at my butt.

  • - No way, your balls are not all the way up there.

  • - Today is a drag show here at Buzzfeed Studios.

  • - We had a lovely time turning-

  • - This hairy Sasquatch of a man into a-

  • - Beautiful woman.

  • - Without further a due, my daughter.

  • - No, I don't think I've ever been to a drag show.

  • - You're gonna be in one, tomorrow.

  • - Goin' straight to the top.

  • - Drag queens, drag culture, I don't know anything.

  • - I will be your guide.

  • - Which makes me your mother.

  • - I don't really know what that means.

  • - Not biological, obviously.

  • - They build a house as a family.

  • - So basically drag queens are like Game of Thrones?

  • - Very much so.

  • - It's an art form, you know?

  • It's like you're an actor playing a role.

  • - Dude by day, lady by night.

  • - People love drag, so much more now.

  • - I'm always all about this stuff.

  • - So, this is competition, right?

  • - I wanna win this thing.

  • - I know I'm gonna be prettier than them.

  • - You might need more time on makeup.

  • - Mayhem, your daughter is shady.

  • - What kind of queen would you want to be?

  • - Have you ever seen like, a blue collar drag queen?

  • I'm seen as a normal guy,

  • I have never changed this hair cut.

  • - So you wanna be like, totally opposite.

  • - I wanna be bat shit crazy!

  • Dirty, Nikki Minaj a trois, like Kesha.

  • - I could work with Kesha,

  • so we're going to make you look trashy.

  • - I'm prone to hurting myself, because I get too intense.

  • - If she fell down drunk.

  • - I'm glitter, and Champagne.

  • - [Both] Champagne.

  • - I like keeping on the character,

  • staying true to a lady.

  • - I really like Katy Perry.

  • - But then every now and then you get real,

  • like pop into the deep voice, too.

  • - He just looks like a dessert.

  • - He will turn you into a bubblegum pop princess.

  • - Hi, this side of lady.

  • - You sound real stupid, and I like it.

  • - I thank you.

  • - Gingivitis.

  • - My names, Ginger Vitis.

  • I'm so sweet I'm going to give you a cavity,

  • but don't worry, I'll fill it.

  • - Is there a woman that inspires you?

  • - I feel like a lot of the influences in my life are male.

  • - What kind of music do you listen to?

  • - I don't like listenin' to pop, and I guess

  • I'm just kind of silly and a little nerdy.

  • With dashes of insecurity.

  • I don't know how that translates into drag.

  • - You don't know how you'll see yourself,

  • until you see yourself in drag.

  • I saw embrace the dash of insecurity on stage.

  • - Kornucopia, cause I've got a lot to give.

  • - Your Kornucopia runith over.

  • - I'm kind of crass.

  • I'm often hung over, I just have zero filter.

  • - Ratchet.

  • - I don't want to be ratchet.

  • If I'm going to be a woman,

  • I want to be a classy woman like my mom.

  • Where's my pants?

  • - I have no idea what I would call myself.

  • - I was watching porn and I got mine that way.

  • - So you're telling me I have to go home

  • and watch pornography? - You should.

  • - And then I'll know my drag name?

  • - The first thing I thought was "Rikkake",

  • "TuckleBerry Finn", "Sushi Homemaker",

  • that's like sexist and racist at the same time.

  • - I never wear heels, mostly because my feet are so big.

  • - I don't even understand why ladies where heels.

  • It's almost gross, how perfect they are.

  • - Just shove em down.

  • - Just give me a little runway walk.

  • - You could have gone your whole life without heels.

  • - Oh I love it though, it adds to the walk,

  • it adds to the confidence.

  • - Don't they hurt so much?

  • - Oh, yeah but it's worth it.

  • - It hurts, it hurts.

  • - There's nowhere for my toes to go!

  • - You have not known this pain.

  • - Especially the girls, after the club closes,

  • and they're struggling to get to the car.

  • - I'm just gonna rest while you talk.

  • - They're the most special torture devices,

  • to make women move very slowly.

  • - Yeah, no kidding!

  • - I feel like I'm trying to ice skate for the first time.

  • - You expect me to dance in these?

  • - Yes, I do.

  • - What?

  • - No daughter of mine will wear flats.

  • - I wanna get the emotion out,

  • I wanna make the people cry.

  • - So we were talking about Robyn, "Dancin' on my Own".

  • How do you feel about that?

  • - I love that song.

  • That song's all about feeling.

  • - So it's really easy to sink into the emotion of it.

  • - You need to focus more on being feminine.

  • - I just want to blow this house up.

  • - From here up has got to be a little bit softer,

  • a little bit flirtier,

  • and then from here down,

  • a little bit more over the top.

  • - Yeah that's fine if you do that.

  • - I like croissant peacock.

  • - Oh you got it, yes!

  • - Instead of like specific lyrics, or specific moves,

  • it's more about the essence

  • of the song that you have already.

  • - We're doing "Partition", make love to the word.

  • - Driver, roll up the partition.

  • - Yes, I can't do it.

  • - I just have to think I want to fuck the person.

  • - So the morals of lip sync is,

  • "Make those pussies wet, and make dicks hard."

  • - This has to go?

  • - That has to go.

  • - All of it?

  • - Yep.

  • - How long does it take to shave a leg?

  • - How well groomed should this area be?

  • - Gotta get those pits and get them legs together.

  • - So I'm the only one showing leg.

  • - Show the skin you want!

  • - I'm trying to be a classy lady.

  • - Oh, hardwood floors work the best.

  • - We're shaving your pits and

  • taking care of the whispies.

  • - Pits for sure, look at this.

  • - I could put weave in that chest hair.

  • - To the neckline of the top,

  • and sideburns, and the back.

  • - I don't even know what my skin looks like anymore.

  • It's like I haven't seen it in so long.

  • - I shaved a little bit of Zach's chest hair.

  • That was a mistake.

  • - We don't get paid enough.

  • - Half the battle is when you transform.

  • When you look like a different person.

  • - Isn't it weird to think that glue sticks

  • are most commonly bought by

  • elementary school kids and drag queens?

  • - You're automatically gonna act different.

  • - I really feel like this should be an Olympic sport.

  • - There is fuck ton that goes into it.

  • - It's like a condom for my head.

  • - I want nothing more than to just rub my eyes.

  • - Look at her, though!

  • - What do you think our founding fathers

  • would say about this?

  • - "They wore more wigs than us!"

  • - This is like a skyscraper of makeup on my face.

  • - Are there straight guys that do drag?

  • - There are!

  • - There's the fear of compromising your masculinity.

  • - I need a break, I need to step back for a sec.

  • - But who cares?

  • - So drag name, I was thinking "Koree Anne",

  • "Kay Drama", "Cheyenne Pepper".

  • I like it!

  • - But I don't understand, like, I don't have breasts.

  • - You know what, I have a lot a flab,

  • that maybe we can push around.

  • - I got this for you.

  • - Thankfully we aren't showing no cleavage.

  • - I've got hips for you.

  • - So, this is how you make an ass.

  • It's literally the couch cushion.

  • - Well, there is a man shoving foam into my butt.

  • - You have to cover all of the boy.

  • - Looks a little Lindsey Lohan.

  • That could be good.

  • - Finish your fucking drinks.

  • - Suck it in.

  • - Oh boy.

  • Oh, crap!

  • - I'm giving you a fucking body.

  • - Where's the dick go?

  • - You take your nuts,

  • you put them up in the socket.

  • - What socket?

  • - Where they came from before they dropped.

  • - Bring them upstairs.

  • - I feel like I only have a split level house.

  • - Pull your dick back.

  • - Touch my butt hole with my dick?

  • - Yes.

  • Like a thong.

  • - How do you guys pee when you're working?

  • - We don't.

  • - I'm going to go tuck in the bathroom.

  • - Holy Shit, oh my God.

  • I think I did it.

  • - You're flat.

  • - I'm flat.

  • - Guess who tucked.

  • - A typical drag show would be,

  • a cast goin' out there and do their little dance,

  • and gettin' money.

  • - Tonight we're going to be

  • popping the cherry, for Buzzfeed.

  • - My daughteress found herself right away.

  • - I feel like we could really surprise her

  • with how like a woman I could become.

  • - Her name is Ginger Vitis.

  • - Misty gave me so much more confidence.

  • Don't worry about getting the words right,

  • if you just sell Ginger Vitis to other people,

  • and you connect with the audience members,

  • that's all that matters.

  • - I love that.

  • That he throws himself into everything,

  • and she was beautiful.

  • His tucus.

  • - You were all the treasure at the end of my rainbow.

  • - I just wanna warn the first row,

  • that this could become a splash zone.

  • - So what does your wife think about the whole drag thing?

  • - She thinks it's funny.

  • - Champagne Canne.

  • - I thought it was gonna be kinda weird,

  • then I would feel uncomfortable,

  • but once you put all of this on,

  • you really become a different person.

  • - Or at least you feel like you are,

  • until your wig flies off.

  • - Baby, fix your hat.

  • - I don't fucking care!

  • - How's everyone doing tonight?

  • - With my sisters, they are both judgmental,

  • witty, the most cut throw Asian girls you'll meet.

  • - My daughter, Cheyenne Pepper!

  • - Physically, this is torture on my body.

  • My toes are crushed, my balls and dick have

  • disappeared somewhere within me,

  • I'm sweating under this wig,

  • I feel like there is twenty pounds of makeup

  • on my face, and yet, there is like a rush to it,

  • which is really cool.

  • What'd you think of the show?

  • - How are you so skinny?

  • - We can prove to Mom that I'm finally the prettiest sister.

  • - Now before I bring my daughter on,

  • who, unlike the other performers,

  • is not a whore.

  • - I can't just be a half ass drag performer, for my grandma.

  • I gotta do this.

  • - So give it up for Kornucopia Kornfeld.

  • - I didn't even know who you were,

  • she did such a great job,

  • and I didn't know you had such fantastic legs.

  • - Oh well, thank you.

  • Huge respect for drag queens.

  • They are both better men and

  • better woman than I am.

  • Who do you think he resembles?

  • Just pick somebody.

  • - His father.

- Okay, I can do this.
