FunTranscript
00:00You've expressed interest in hosting a talk show with your best friend, Leah Remini.
00:03Yes.
00:04Have you considered calling it, It Takes Two to Make a Thing Go Clear?
00:10Where's the sniper?
00:11Cue the sniper.
00:21Welcome to Royal Court, the show where pop culture royalty compete for a spot on my trusted council.
00:26I am your host and queen, Lady Brittany of House Broski.
00:29And today, I'm joined by the mother of all mothers, the queen of all queens.
00:33Whenever she's around, it's a lovely day.
00:35Please welcome, Lady Michelle Visage.
00:40Hello.
00:40Hello.
00:41Hello.
00:42Glam, glam, glam.
00:43This doesn't throw very well, but that's okay.
00:46Hi, Brittany.
00:47Hi, my love.
00:48I made it.
00:49You smell great.
00:51Just for you.
00:52I appreciate it.
00:53How are things over at the House of Magnifique?
00:55Oh, wonderful.
00:56Thank you very much.
00:58Yes.
00:59Should I do a little check-in?
01:00Yes.
01:01Okay, well.
01:01Thank you, Wikipedia.
01:02Well, a quick Google search, and that's all I could come up with, so all this is really nothing.
01:06Okay, perfect.
01:07Hope you're ready.
01:08I'm born ready.
01:10Without further ado, let the trials begin.
01:14How's that light?
01:15I love it.
01:16Your glam team's shitting their pants over there.
01:18I said all they want to see is nostrils.
01:22Michelle.
01:23Yes.
01:24You are a mother to children, both drag and regular.
01:28Yes.
01:29Specifically regular.
01:30Specifically regular.
01:31Have you ever had a moment of peace in your life?
01:34No.
01:35No.
01:36And I don't want it.
01:37Right.
01:38Peace is boring.
01:39You and peace wouldn't mix well.
01:40No.
01:41Although I would love it for the world, but not necessarily for my castle of chaos that
01:46I live in.
01:47Okay.
01:48Well, you've monetized it, so that's what matters.
01:50You were an announcer for hot oil restaurants.
01:52Oh, my God.
01:53How did you dig?
01:57The archive runs deep.
01:58We have a lot of-
01:59Yes.
02:00I was a hot oil wrestling announcer at Goldfinger's in New York City.
02:04Not Goldfinger.
02:05Goldfinger's.
02:06Okay.
02:07Yes.
02:08For the virgins at home, can you explain what hot oil wrestling is?
02:12And to me as well.
02:13Yeah.
02:14So when you go to a strip club, there is a normal stripping situation that's happening
02:18on the main stage.
02:19And you go, and then there's the VIP rooms.
02:21We all saw a Nora.
02:22We know what happens in those VIP rooms.
02:24We're familiar.
02:25Right.
02:26Hot oil wrestling was, we had our own room with a boxing ring in it.
02:28It used to be Foxy Boxing, but it changed to hot oil wrestling.
02:31But the hot oil wrestling was wonderful because there would be bachelors, and there'd be like
02:35three to five of their friends, sometimes more, huge parties.
02:38And there'd be one bachelor.
02:39And he'd get into the ring, and I would raffle off one of my girls, the hot oil wrestlers.
02:44They'd all have fun names.
02:45But I was a real bitter, like, 20, 25, 30, 30 years old.
02:48I did the whole thing.
02:49Auctioneer?
02:50Yes.
02:51I was an auctioneer on top of the emcee.
02:52And the girls would just terrorize this bachelor.
02:56Take off the whole suit.
02:57He was left in his underwear, would be pulled around his neck, full on wedgie.
03:01It's a bachelor party?
03:02Yep.
03:03This was the Christian Club that you worked at in New York.
03:05Christian Mingles was the sponsor, yes.
03:06Oh, I do love that.
03:07Yeah, that's really special.
03:08Me too, me too.
03:09Who do you think would win in a lubed up wrestling match, you or Ru Paul?
03:12Probably me.
03:13Yeah, I think so.
03:14Although Ru is very long and lean, so it'd just be like trying to keep up with 6'4",
03:18and I'm 5'4".
03:19Look, you're going for speed versus, you know, length.
03:22It'd be like a slip and slide.
03:24I'd just go right off the other side.
03:26Does being allergic to everything...
03:28I was waiting for this question because I am an actual fucking nightmare.
03:33I am a nightmare, but go ahead.
03:35Okay, does being allergic to everything mean that you're a very cheap date?
03:38Yes.
03:39Yes.
03:40So cheap.
03:41What?
03:42Can you?
03:43Okay, great question.
03:44What Brittany says before I so egregiously cut her off was, what can you eat?
03:50And the thing is with me, because I have an autoimmune, I eat by the autoimmune protocol.
03:54And you and I will discuss this off the camera because it goes into medical boring stuff.
03:59You'll show me an infographic after this.
04:00I will.
04:01I have a PowerPoint.
04:02Get ready.
04:03I am a very cheap date, but it means that nothing that can cause inflammation will be
04:08put into my body unless it's Botox.
04:11So anything else that doesn't cause inflammation is being kicked to the curb.
04:15So yes, I am a cheap date and very difficult to feed.
04:19Well, you look great.
04:20Thank you very much.
04:21That's all that matters to me.
04:22My husband said to me last night, can we go on a date?
04:23Can you eat anything?
04:24I was like, no, but I'll watch you eat.
04:25I'll drink some tea.
04:27Like that's the kind of date I would do.
04:29I've got a similar thing where they're like, no bananas, no avocados, no this.
04:32I said, well shit, girl, just give me the grain from the like pig trough.
04:35You can't eat that either?
04:36I can't eat any of that stuff because it spikes my testosterone.
04:39I'll grow a penis.
04:40Oh, well that sounds like fun.
04:42I should look into that actually.
04:44You should.
04:45I wouldn't be humping furniture.
04:47Please.
04:49Yeah, don't sit on any of these chairs out here.
04:51It's kind of a health risk.
04:53You've been married for 28 years.
04:54Can you believe it?
04:55I can't.
04:56In this city.
04:57In this God-fearing city.
04:59Yeah.
05:00How is that possible when you're only 26?
05:02I mean, the check is in the mail.
05:05I love you, Brittany Brassey.
05:06You are welcome.
05:07You can at least say 36.
05:08I mean, don't be ridiculous.
05:10I mean, look, the Botox is, it's Botox day.
05:13Actually, I'm due because I can move.
05:15Both of your kids ran track.
05:17Yes.
05:18I was a track and field mom.
05:19Were you a track and field girl like when you were young?
05:22No.
05:23No, not at all?
05:24So what kind of sports mom are you?
05:25Are you bringing snacks?
05:26Are you yelling at them from a...
05:27Faster!
05:28That's me.
05:29Okay.
05:30You're coaching.
05:31And there are so many videos of me.
05:32I've gotten kicked out of soccer games.
05:34I actually became the announcer at the track and field meets when they were home.
05:39Okay.
05:40Because I was so involved.
05:41I was actually really good at it too because I did 20 years of radio.
05:44So I was like...
05:45I know a microphone hates to see you coming.
05:48They will be used and abused.
05:49I cringe when I watch the videos now.
05:51Me going, faster, use your arms.
05:53Lily, dig, dig.
05:55Screaming.
05:56Hustle.
05:57Yes, screaming.
05:59But Lily was top notch hurdler.
06:02So it was because of my screaming.
06:04Nothing to do with my husband's coaching.
06:05Just...
06:06No, he's irrelevant.
06:07It's really about the verbal abuse that you go through as an athlete that propels you to be better.
06:11Were you an athlete?
06:12Oh God, no.
06:13Do I look like I was an athlete?
06:14I was a theater kid.
06:15Same.
06:16Same.
06:17Both of your kids are also Pisces.
06:19Oh my God, yes.
06:21What is that tissue budget in your household like?
06:23Virgo mother?
06:24Yeah.
06:25It is not a great match.
06:27Sensitive father, Sagittarius, so he understands the Pisces a little bit more.
06:31But me, like my husband will say to me,
06:33could you be a little nicer?
06:34Oh.
06:35Could you be a little nicer?
06:36Your approaches.
06:37No, I can't.
06:39Yeah.
06:40That was my response.
06:41No, the world is not nice.
06:42My mother was a Pisces from Brooklyn.
06:44She didn't give me much advice, but what she did was,
06:46the world ain't easy, so toughen up.
06:48So I tried that approach with my kids.
06:50It was like, the world's not rainbows and Skittles,
06:52so snap the fuck out of it or you're going to have a tough time.
06:56The world isn't rainbows and Skittles, it's dildos and ADHD meds.
06:59If you're lucky.
07:00We love some Adderall.
07:01You're a bargain hunter?
07:02Oh, I love a bargain.
07:03You love a good deal.
07:04I love a bargain.
07:05Now I want to know what was the worst deal you ever got,
07:08and why was it the seduction record deal?
07:10It was the worst deal I've ever done in my life,
07:13and I still signed it.
07:15Oh my God.
07:17Oh my God.
07:19That is so true, Brittany.
07:22Do you know why?
07:23Because I was 19 and I wanted to be the next Madonna.
07:26Yes.
07:27And this was my opportunity.
07:28When you come from nothing, and you have nothing,
07:30when it's in front of you and dangled like a carrot,
07:33they know it.
07:34They know what they're doing.
07:35You signed your name on it.
07:36Yeah.
07:37And I did.
07:39I got zero dollars from it.
07:41It was a good experience.
07:42100%.
07:43And I got to tour the world and play sold out venues,
07:47like 30, 40,000 seat arenas.
07:49Psychotic.
07:50At 19 years old, who else is going to do that?
07:52And Celebrity Big Brother.
07:53Yes.
07:54You brought an air freshener in case people had shit.
07:56Important.
07:57Yes.
07:58Yes.
07:59What other cursed items are probably in your bag at any given time?
08:01I think that everything in my purses are probably cursed at all times.
08:07There's always a lip plumper.
08:08Okay.
08:09There's always a perfume sample.
08:11There's usually some kind of travel potpourri,
08:14like we were talking about for the toilet.
08:16Yes.
08:17Because when you got nature calls, you got to go and you don't want to leave.
08:19You got to go.
08:20Yeah.
08:21I have compression socks.
08:22Grandma.
08:23It's a good one.
08:24I have a pill.
08:25Grandma.
08:26I feel very, very grandma.
08:27But it's more the health consciousness.
08:29Yeah.
08:30I have an autoimmune cereal, a bag of cereal that I can snack on.
08:33That's cursed.
08:34Grandma.
08:35That's cursed.
08:37You're like, I got my pocket CPAP.
08:38Yes!
08:39It's very there.
08:41I always have a mask.
08:42Okay.
08:43Love that.
08:44Even to this day.
08:45So we're rolling with something from the pantry, medical equipment.
08:48PPE.
08:49Yes!
08:50At all times.
08:51Love it.
08:52You've expressed interest in hosting a talk show with your best friend, Leah Remini.
08:55Yes.
08:56Have you considered calling it It Takes Two to Make a Thing Go Clear?
09:03Where's the sniper?
09:05Cue the sniper.
09:07And hello to Leah, by the way.
09:08Yes.
09:09Queen.
09:10Okay, Michelle, with that, you've passed.
09:11Thank you!
09:15Well, Lady Michelle, you did so wonderfully in the royal interrogation.
09:18Are you down for a little meal?
09:19There's nothing I'm able to eat, but yes, I'm down.
09:21We can look at it.
09:22Squires!
09:25Why, thank you.
09:27Oh!
09:28Oh!
09:29I could eat that.
09:30Who's hungry for some dick?
09:31Oh, me.
09:32Some spotted dick.
09:33I love a spotted dick.
09:35Guess what?
09:36It's good.
09:37Yeah?
09:38It's really good.
09:39Are you going to have it?
09:40I'm going to eat some.
09:41And we did.
09:42Who?
09:43Did you see that?
09:44For those who don't know, Michelle loves a glass bottle of water.
09:48I won't drink out of plastic.
09:49I know that.
09:50Look it.
09:51That's the sound I love to hear.
09:52That's the sound of wealth.
09:53Are you going to eat spotted dick?
09:54Yeah, I'm going to have a little bite of dick.
09:56Have you ever had spotted dick?
09:57I have.
09:58Okay, why did you have spotted dick?
09:59I can't have it because I'm celiac, so I'm going to turn that around.
10:02You should know that in your deep dive, by the way.
10:04Oh, 100%.
10:05Somebody let you down.
10:06Well, it's when you have gay people working for you.
10:08They're not that smart.
10:09Do I have straight people working for me?
10:11Show me one.
10:13Show me one.
10:14Glam, are you straight?
10:15No.
10:17Please.
10:18No, with emphasis.
10:19Yes.
10:20Emphasis.
10:21On the right syllable.
10:22Okay.
10:23Okay.
10:24Michelle, it's time to get into it.
10:25Give the kids what they want.
10:26We're going to talk fragrance for a second.
10:28Okay.
10:30Are my hands the right color to my face?
10:33Shablam, are they different colors?
10:34Yes.
10:35Okay.
10:36We forgot to tan my hands.
10:38It's part of the image.
10:39It's part of the magic.
10:41No, you need the orange face and the white neck.
10:45The truth is told.
10:47She's Italian and Irish.
10:50Okay, you and I have very...
10:52Here's the thing.
10:53When you're talking about fragrance wrecks...
10:55Is that how you found me?
10:56No, God no.
10:57Okay.
10:58I have been watching Drag Race since I was 14 years old.
11:01You're welcome.
11:02I've been putting in my time.
11:03I appreciate that.
11:04And I'm 48 now.
11:05No, you're not.
11:06But I...
11:07Part of my, like, in high school, my friend group...
11:10Because, of course, theaters, the theater gaze, was...
11:13Have you watched the show called Drag Race?
11:15And I was like, what is this fuckery girl?
11:17Turned it on, addicted.
11:18First episode, addicted.
11:19I started season four.
11:20Oh, that's a classic season.
11:22Have to.
11:23Have to.
11:24From there on, I've just been, you know, a loyal follower.
11:26So, no.
11:27When I saw you had a TikTok, I was like, thank fuck whoever downloaded that shit on her phone.
11:32I did that.
11:33I did it!
11:34You did it?
11:35I did it myself!
11:36Why don't we just shriek?
11:37I do it myself, Brittany.
11:38You have to do subtitles.
11:39I am willing and able.
11:40I am a Virgo.
11:41Yes.
11:42And I also have trauma.
11:43And my trauma is ultra-independence.
11:45What?
11:46Hyper-independence.
11:47I don't want anybody doing anything for me because they fucking ruin it.
11:49I agree.
11:50No one does it better than you.
11:51So I do it myself.
11:52I'm not very good at it, which is why it's shit and basic.
11:54No, but it's part of the charm.
11:56I just learned how to do an overlay, so now I can show notes.
11:58Okay!
11:59And you're self-aware.
12:00You'll do millennial pause.
12:01Right.
12:02Well, that's what people were saying, but can I just bring up a good point?
12:05When people are like, millennial pause, LOL, it's like, no, that's called professionalism
12:10because what are you going to do?
12:11Hi, everybody!
12:12No, you got to let the room breathe.
12:14Give it a beat.
12:15Give it a beat.
12:16Hello.
12:17Yeah.
12:18Okay, back to fragrance.
12:19Okay.
12:20So I found you on TikTok.
12:21You came up on my For You page, and I was like, no fucking way.
12:22And I saw you were talking about fragrance, and I was like, let's fucking go.
12:24Yeah, because you love it, too.
12:25I'm addicted.
12:27How did you get into collecting it?
12:30I started in high school.
12:31Sure.
12:32Like, very young.
12:33My mother would not buy me Giorgio of Beverly Hills, which, by the way, you want to talk
12:37about the Eihakuji.
12:38Mm-hmm.
12:39That is the, that and White Diamonds are the, but by the way, I love them both.
12:43Do you have any past signature scents like that, any other ones?
12:46I have past signature scents that I still love, like Cher's Uninhibited was probably
12:49my first signature scent, so I've been at it for a long time.
12:52So my point was my mother wouldn't buy me Giorgio, so I would go to like CVS or Rite
12:56Aid and get like, you want Giorgio, but you're going to get Rodeo Drive.
12:59Yeah.
13:00And it was a knockoff.
13:01Yeah.
13:02It was the dupes, but they didn't have the word dupe back then.
13:04So here's the thing about fragrance recs is you have to have a similar nose, right?
13:08Correct.
13:09So like, I like your recs because we both like a bergamot-y, musky, gourmand-y, ooty
13:15woody.
13:16That's what I love as well.
13:17Mm-hmm.
13:18Insects.
13:19So when you give recs, yes.
13:20Patchouli.
13:21Patchouli, yes.
13:22But patchouli has to be...
13:23Buried.
13:25It needs to be in a note.
13:27It needs, it can't be the full word.
13:29Agreed.
13:30Yeah.
13:31Are there any underground fragrance houses right now that you're just like, I know you
13:35love Penhaligon's.
13:36What are some others?
13:37I love Penhaligon's.
13:38You turned me on to Penhaligon's?
13:39Penhaligon's is straight class.
13:41Born to Stand Out is a house that I love.
13:43Okay.
13:44They are Korean.
13:45And every single scent they make, every freaking one of them, is amazing.
13:51And they're all really...
13:52They're all really sexual.
13:54They're fucky.
13:55All of them.
13:56They're so good.
13:57Okay, so let's get into the drag race of it all.
13:59Okay.
14:00I guess.
14:01If you have to, twist my arm.
14:02I fucking guess.
14:03You've said that the last thing you look for in a queen is looks, right?
14:07Yeah.
14:08What is the first thing that either draws you to a queen, that endears you to a queen,
14:12and what do you think is the mark of a great drag queen?
14:15Confidence is the first thing that draws me to them.
14:18I can see somebody wearing crazy clothes, looking some sort of way, but if they are
14:23out there selling it, I fall in love instantly.
14:27That's different to me judging on a drag television competition, where as the brief is,
14:32you need to look like lettuce.
14:34Lettuce, behave.
14:36That's the runway.
14:37So if you're not doing the brief, then that's what it is.
14:40So that's when it comes down to really picking apart what you're wearing, what you're doing,
14:44how we can make it better, how you can make this brief in particular work better for you
14:49and your brand of drag.
14:50I love versatility, and I think casting directors love versatility as well.
14:55And that's what I am there to do, is to help expand that 15 minutes we're all given
15:00into 15 years, if we're lucky.
15:02I think it's really important for the kids that learned how to do drag from YouTube,
15:05and or Instagram, and or RuPaul's Drag Race, to get out there in the real world and perform.
15:10Because nothing beats a seasoned performer.
15:13Because then you're ready for everything.
15:15If you're just doing it in your bedroom, or for your friends and your parents,
15:19which is lovely, you have to start somewhere.
15:20Practice makes perfect.
15:21I absolutely agree with that.
15:23You're not going to get what it feels like to flop.
15:25You have to flop.
15:27You've been there.
15:28I've been there.
15:29Hey, what the fuck?
15:30You're a theater kid, so I know you've flopped.
15:33Anybody that's been in theater has gone on stage and forgotten lines,
15:36forgotten choreography, forgotten blocking.
15:38It happens.
15:39You got a bomb to soar.
15:40That's it.
15:41So you have to flop to succeed.
15:42And that's what makes a great drag queen, is getting out there, come hell or high water,
15:46whether you suck, you made $2, you made no dollars, you made $5,000.
15:49That's what you got to do.
15:51Pay your dues.
15:52That's it.
15:53You have talked a lot about the main differences between British drag and American drag.
15:59How has your experience with Drag Down Under been?
16:02And how would you fit that into the binaries?
16:05I hate the binary.
16:07The Drag Down Under is very similar to British drag in the sense that they lead with the heart.
16:12They're so funny.
16:15They're so fun, so funny, so talented, hearts of gold, tenacity.
16:20You name it, they've got it all.
16:22It's the twisted sense of wicked humor that they have.
16:26Where American queens, I think, so much focus on the outside.
16:30And it's not being shady that they're fabulous in their own way and they're beautiful as well.
16:35It's just a different aesthetic.
16:37And I'm here for it.
16:39I'm here for digging deeper than just what we see.
16:42That gritty, nasty, stinky.
16:45I'm with you.
16:47That's why I like older queens in a sense.
16:50Because they have paid their dues.
16:52They have worked it.
16:53They have done the hard yards.
16:55They might not look like that pretty young one, which I love as well.
16:58Listen, we all love to look at pretty things.
17:00I just want them to smoosh into one.
17:02I want that grittiness to get into the young pretty ones so they see that there is a validity to it.
17:08And vice versa.
17:11I want any sect of drag to turn their nose up at any other sect.
17:14Because in the end, we're all in this together.
17:17You met Rue in the 80s.
17:18I did.
17:19You've worked together in nightclubs, radio, TV, podcasting, porn.
17:24Well, that's the highlight.
17:25That's coming up.
17:26Do you have a favorite medium to collaborate?
17:29With Rue?
17:30This is the honest God truth.
17:32We finish each other's sentences.
17:36No matter what we do is going to be my favorite.
17:38We've done it all together.
17:40I love doing our TV show.
17:41Our old TV show, our talk show.
17:43I love doing our podcast because it was just us talking, so maybe that.
17:48But our radio show was fucking brilliant.
17:51Nobody else was doing what we were doing.
17:52We beat Howard Stern, our first ratings.
17:54Everything I do with Rue feels like I'm doing it with my sister slash best friend.
17:57So I love everything that we do.
17:59You name it, we had fun doing it.
18:01And the more, the longer we went on, the more we got into doing these skits.
18:05Michelle, you passed.
18:07Yay!
18:08I hate failing.
18:10We need you to make your family crest.
18:13This is embarrassing.
18:14Because you didn't show up with one, so I'm just going to sort of have you draw one here
18:17with these unbranded markers in front of you.
18:19Okay.
18:20So while you're drawing, it's going to be hard.
18:22And I say this, but I'm being genuine.
18:23It's going to be hard to draw and answer at the same time.
18:25No, it's not.
18:26Okay.
18:27And we got that on camera, didn't we?
18:28I hate flowers.
18:29Well, I didn't write this, so that's funny.
18:32You said favorite flower.
18:33You hand-picked it.
18:34I did not do that.
18:35I'm telling you, gay people work on my team.
18:36They're being fired after this.
18:37So they should know that I hate flowers.
18:39How do you hate flowers?
18:40Where's black?
18:41They die.
18:42There's no black.
18:43We've got to have them.
18:44There's no black.
18:45Squire.
18:48Be gone.
18:49Yeah, get a little comfy in my castle.
18:50Yeah, yeah.
18:53Okay.
18:54Okay, here we go.
18:55You believe that you have to fail to succeed.
18:57Yes.
18:58Right?
18:59We've talked about it a little bit.
19:00What was a moment in your career where you felt that you had hit a dead end, and right
19:03around the corner was a blessing that was waiting to happen?
19:06First of all, I have hit a dead end so many times.
19:08I'm the queen of reinvention.
19:09Thank you, Madonna.
19:10Love that.
19:11Only because if you fail, try, try again.
19:14If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
19:16And that's very important because sometimes in life we don't listen to the universe's
19:22stage directions.
19:23We say, oh, but I want to be a pistachio.
19:26Well, Michelle, a cashew's presenting itself to you.
19:29But I want to be a pistachio.
19:30But the cashew's right here.
19:32Listen and take the cashew.
19:33But I really want to be a pistachio.
19:36So it's that type of thing.
19:37I think if we hyperfixate on what we want and don't take advantage of what's being presented,
19:42it's a disservice to ourselves.
19:44I love that.
19:45So reinvent.
19:46Don't fight it.
19:47Correct.
19:48Listen.
19:49Pay attention.
19:50You once said, give me five minutes.
19:51I can work a room like nobody's business.
19:52Yes.
19:53Do you have any tips and tricks for me on how to work a room?
19:56I'm not slimy.
19:57I think you allow your real self to come out.
19:59If you be you in a room, you can't fake it.
20:03Yeah.
20:04People see right through that.
20:05And right away you're going to go, ugh, you don't like.
20:07Okay, perfect example.
20:08Did you ever meet somebody and you're like, I don't like them?
20:11Well, yeah.
20:12And they say, why?
20:13And you don't know why?
20:14It's a vibe.
20:15It's a vibe.
20:17And when it's a vibe, you don't want that vibe to be a bad vibe, right?
20:21So when you go into the room, all you can do is genuinely be you.
20:24The people that are not genuine, those are the ones that ruin the vibe.
20:27This is the worst Ferris wheel I've ever been in.
20:30What is your favorite time you've been wrong?
20:35In your life.
20:36Oh, I'm wrong a lot.
20:38Probably when I said to my husband, I'm going to take this aspirin because I'm not pregnant.
20:43I did.
20:44I was like, watch, I'm going to take the Tylenol.
20:47I was pregnant.
20:48Thank God Lola's okay.
20:50But I've been wrong many, many times.
20:54I used to fight it and say, I'm never wrong.
20:57Because I really am rarely wrong.
21:00But I will say when I am wrong, I will give in to that.
21:04I will acknowledge that I'm wrong.
21:05Because there's nothing wrong with being wrong.
21:06It's important.
21:07Yeah.
21:08That's how you learn.
21:09That's how you get better and stronger and wiser and faster and all that stuff.
21:12I love.
21:13That's the worst leopard print I think I've ever seen.
21:15We're doing vagina print right now.
21:18Looks like papayas.
21:20Little, little papayas.
21:22Okay, Lady Michelle.
21:23Present your shield to us.
21:25I have to see.
21:27Could you explain what you chose for each prompt, if you don't mind?
21:30That is a black rose.
21:31Cute.
21:32I like black roses.
21:34Okay.
21:35That is London.
21:36So that's Big Ben.
21:37I see it.
21:38I see it.
21:39That's, well, a really bad London eye.
21:43Yes.
21:44Is it good?
21:45The hanging chairs just like that.
21:47It looks very accurate.
21:48Literally Ikea chairs in hand.
21:50This is a mouth.
21:53Because my whole career has been because of my mouth.
21:56Literally, if I'm not singing, acting, dancing.
22:00It's been radio, talking, hosting.
22:02That's what I do.
22:03And this is a leopard print.
22:06Now, I painted almost this identical print on a white Ikea cabinet that I got in my apartment in New York City when I first moved in.
22:12Because I thought, I'm going to be artistic.
22:14It was not even on the artistic spectrum.
22:17Thank you, Michelle.
22:19Would you sign it for me, my love?
22:20I would be honored.
22:21Well, Michelle, with that, it is my honor and privilege to induct you into my royal court.
22:29And we shall proceed with the knighting.
22:32Stay where you are.
22:33I will.
22:34I knight thee.
22:35Oh my God, you see my hair?
22:36You see my Pamela Anderson blonde being stuck in this fucking mic?
22:38What happens?
22:39I knight thee, Lady Michelle, Belle of the Ballroom.
22:43Amex Platinum face card.
22:48And a parting gift for you.
22:51Yay!
22:52Oh my God, I got one!
22:54I don't drink coffee, but I'll use it for tea.
22:57And if I don't see that at TikTok, I'm suing.
22:59You will see it.
23:00Can you talk about me more in the Broski Report?
23:01Yeah!
23:02You can't really do it here because that would be rude to the guests.
23:05Right.
23:06Is there anything you'd like to promote to my realm, my people?
23:08You know, every drag race iteration, if I could speak every language, I'd be on them all.
23:12But no, my services were not needed.
23:14I'll just stay on the ones that I'm on.
23:16And we may have some things coming up, but I'm not the girl to speak before they're announced.
23:20Okay.
23:21Where can we find you?
23:22At Michelle Visage on things.
23:24Guards!
23:25Take her away.
23:26Thank you, Michelle.
23:28Thank you!
23:30Bye, Queen!
