To be fair, Michelle is out with the girls on the road. Also, Ru has a jacked memory from doing drugs, which is why he is sober now. MIchelle has even said that Ru forgets the names of her children, so it's probably not done with malice.

Its her natural grey (probably slightly enhanced) She grew the black out during lock down. She did a poll on her instagram asking whether she should keep it or not. I love it!

Respectful of pronouns and respectful of not calling Ginny the loser that they are for quitting like that. Absolutely nothing like Ben Delacreme at all.

i know that Ru’s thing is that she’s Mother, but Michelle has always been the mom/mum to the queens, especially after the show. she interacts and supports them and it’s just. she’s iconic.
ru is the mum with a superiority complex and michelle is the cool aunt who is fully aware of how unbearable your mum is so she takes you on holiday for the weekend with her rich boyfriend so you can get a break and you both shit talk your mum the whole time
exactly :)) I think Ginny was a bitter lemon to a degree, but imo when a drag queen decides to quit she has to do it in STYLE.... AND THAT'S WHAT BITCH DID!! 😂😂😂
I would just like to point out how Michelle uses all the queens correct pronouns. The show has had hundreds of queens and she still manages to remember how each one of them wants to identify. ❤❤
@Connor: How else is anyone supposed to know another person's preferred pronouns...? Fact is, you either read their mind or you are told before hand. I can tell you just like being controversial, Connor.
Ru is sort off the busy rich mom who flies around the world doing fab stuff and comes home every month to give you money, dinner and some encouraging words. Does she love you? Probably, she's your mom so she has to. She has a hard time keeping up with your birthday's and daily life though. Michelle is the cool aunt who knows you better than your mom does and continues to check in on you even when she doesn't have to.
I love how she truly cares about all the queens. She knows their names, she respects their pronouns and she actually spends time with them. She absolutely deserves the judge seat on the show.
The way Michelle talks about drag race. Its beautiful. She genuinely loves and cares for all the boys/girls of drag. Yes shes hard sometimes. But thats what a mother does.
When Michelle says that she loves and respects all drag queens equally, I believe her because when she was a judge on Australia's got Talent she always was so supportive of the Drag Queens who made appearances there
Cheers to the frank yet supportive Michelle Visage! Particularly love 2:10 "Ru wants these queens to be superstars, and Ru demands it: as Ru should. That's why Ru wins Emmys."
So true about needing to look like stars. I’m a Queen and I just stapled a cheap faux fur together to make a hat and wore it with a bikini the other night. People liveeeed for it because it was unique! You have to be creative
For Ru to go in on Joe's outfit that was worn in the challenge and not as the runway look was weird to me. Like they wanted that moment. Also, Ginny left because they thought they shouldn't have been in the bottom and felt the fakeness of it all.
Plus Ginny has fibromyalgia and was told to wear heels when she literally can't. The whole H&M-rage really puts such a classist spin on drag. Wear H&M, babes! Not everyone can get custom coutoure!
Remember that Ru got more upset at H&M than actual Blackface? You better not wear a cheaper dress but hey you were immensely racist? Let’s just blame cAnCeL cUlTuRe and forget about it. 🤷🏽♀️
Did you even listen what Michelle said: make it your own! Don't just buy something off the rack! You can add Glitter, Stones or whatever - but make it your own. Not everybody has the money for costume couture - but everybody can effort a piece of fabric and make it their own. Jaida Essence Hall made all of our Outfits and she looked marvelous.

i still feel Ru was out of line with th H&M comment given the context. They have been pauzing the show for 8 months due to covid. Basicly All of them lost their job. They don't have the money ru has. You see the same issue with Veronica now on s3. She didn't get the time or money to prepare for it. And as she said. It doesn't cost money to do drag, but it does cost moeny to do drag race.

I think ru and Michelle forget that the drag scene and payments don't work the same in the uk as the us. US queens get paid for gigs and get tips and stuff during numbers. UK queens (as mentioned on S2) don't get paid much especially if not in London/england and we don't do the tipping thing here for queens. so if the US queens have trouble funding drag race imagine how hard it is for the UK queens

"It's not about money" Girl, it IS about money. Queens who don't show up on the main stage with expensive custom-made designer garments get read to filth. Also, Ru and Michelle seem to have forgotten that there was a lockdown, most queens had little to no income for months, and Joe Black said they had to sell most of their outfits to survive. That H&M dress was all they had to wear for that challenge. I suppose they could've accessorized it and made it look better, that I'm willing to concede. And of course, queens who are good streamstresses are able to make even the most basic off-the-rack garment look expensive (e.g. Ra'jah O'Hara). But at the end of the day, there's no denying that in recent seasons queens have had to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars for outfits they might not even get to wear on the main stage.
Look up Trixie recapping her outfits from her season. She had no money. The innovation of altering thrift store/cheap off the rack clothes and making her head pieces and jewelry out of PAPER. Also Raja’s looks, a lot of Katya’s best looks (watch her apartment tour where she shows how she buys cheap shoes and glues things to them to make them look couture), Thorgy, and a ton more. I think past season 8 newer fans came in expecting a beauty pageant and not a creativity/talent competition. I live in New York and the grass roots drag/party scene still recognizes raw inventiveness regardless of how much money was put into the look. Drag Race became an Emmy chasing machine when it left Logo and went to VH1, so it started attracting all these social media queens rolling up with $1000 custom outfits. That doesn’t take away the fact that craftsmanship and creativity are still the core of good drag.
@@rozchambers Sure there are craft queent, but that doesn't mean that every queen is a craft queen or should be one. Just like every queen shouldn't be expected to be a comedy AND pagent queen. You can be good at just 1 thing. I wouldn't blame the fans for the idea that you have to bring the money to do well either. That's the shows fault for always pointing out when a queen comes on with no money, makes it a storyline, and then has them raked over the coals by the judges. That's the problem. The show set the expectation that you come on with thousands of dollars in drag.
The way Michelle described what Ginny did is how I wish everyone spoke about events. ‘I’ don’t understand (and it’s implicit she also doesn’t agree) but she’s speaking ONLY about her POV, and what she thinks. And isn’t suggesting her opinion carries any more weight or importance than anyone else’s.
I wish they could show more of this kinder Michelle side. Whether its her or the editing, she always seems like she's the mean one where as ru is just there
I absolutely love Michelle and I believe her when she says she loves all those kids. Ru may push them out of the nest and debut them, but it’s Michelle who teaches them to fly.
Michelle Visage has put so much energy, health and time into Ru's legacy that she has long deserved her own show. I am very glad that they began to invite her to other shows, she periodically sits on the jury of cool projects. But galvno, she became a real icon in a very difficult genre of art and became a national favorite of all fans of Ru races
i love the respect michelle has for the show and the contestants. would like to see her putting ru down from the pedestal she has him on at least once, though
*Drag Race wouldn't be the same without Michelle, and I love that drag humour is often self-deprecating which is the humour we love in Britain, and clearly Michelle and Rupaul understand us too.*
Well she’s talking about figures in the hundreds, most queens can go on with thousands to their own runway. Props to Miss Rajah for sewing nearly all the as6 runways except her blue tulle gown
Lmao for real. I told a queen she improved so much since the last time I saw her, I'm 27, she's 19 now. And the first thing this girl said to me was how she couldn't believe I just said that because she was always amazing. And hasn't spoken to me since. LOL. Safe to say we don't book them.
I love Michelle so much, she seems like such a genuine human being 💜 On a separate note, the H&M/money thing will never not make me angry! Money has such a huge impact on what you're able to achieve, whether you have taste or not. A poorer Queen with great taste is not going to look as impressive as a richer Queen with great taste, that's just a fact and I wish the show would stop punishing Queens because they don't have money, it's so offensive! That whole H&M rant was awful and uncalled for! The Queens had just come out of a Lockdown during a pandemic where none of them could work or make money! Jo Black (and many others) had had to sell loads of their costumes in order to pay rent! To make it through that only to have a multi millionaire yell at you about where you buy your clothes.... Unbelievably offensive, tasteless and tone deaf.
Vanjie admiting that she only said that because she never expected to go home first so she hadn't prepared anything makes it a billion times funnier

Also, Ru and Michelle seem to have forgotten that there was a lockdown, most queens had little to no income for months, and Joe Black said they had to sell most of their outfits to survive. That H&M dress was all they had to wear for that challenge. I suppose they could've accessorized it and made it look better, that I'm willing to concede. And of course, queens who are good streamstresses are able to make even the most basic off-the-rack garment look expensive (e.g. Ra'jah O'Hara). But at the end of the day, there's no denying that in recent seasons queens have had to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars for outfits they might not even get to wear on the main stage.
Look up Trixie recapping her outfits from her season. She had no money. The innovation of altering thrift store/cheap off the rack clothes and making her head pieces and jewelry out of PAPER. Also Raja’s looks, a lot of Katya’s best looks (watch her apartment tour where she shows how she buys cheap shoes and glues things to them to make them look couture), Thorgy, and a ton more. I think past season 8 newer fans came in expecting a beauty pageant and not a creativity/talent competition. I live in New York and the grass roots drag/party scene still recognizes raw inventiveness regardless of how much money was put into the look. Drag Race became an Emmy chasing machine when it left Logo and went to VH1, so it started attracting all these social media queens rolling up with $1000 custom outfits. That doesn’t take away the fact that craftsmanship and creativity are still the core of good drag.
@@rozchambers Sure there are craft queent, but that doesn't mean that every queen is a craft queen or should be one. Just like every queen shouldn't be expected to be a comedy AND pagent queen. You can be good at just 1 thing. I wouldn't blame the fans for the idea that you have to bring the money to do well either. That's the shows fault for always pointing out when a queen comes on with no money, makes it a storyline, and then has them raked over the coals by the judges. That's the problem. The show set the expectation that you come on with thousands of dollars in drag.
Love that she looked sooooo natural no fakery ❤️❤️ you’re ageing beautifully Michelle and are an inspiration to us “fuller life” gals
Michelle Visage is the mother I've always wished to have!❤️
Season 2 of Drag Race UK is one of the most iconic seasons of the whole franchise!
Ikr, it’s just so, so good! Probably one if not my fav season.
She’s so beautiful for 89
SHADE
michelle is truly the heart of the show . the legacy would NEVER be the same without her . she has a place in the queens and the audience’s hearts
Omg Michelle is so cute giving her mom answer. "I love all of them equally." ❤
The way Michelle described what Ginny did is how I wish everyone spoke about events. ‘I’ don’t understand (and it’s implicit she also doesn’t agree) but she’s speaking ONLY about her POV, and what she thinks. And isn’t suggesting her opinion carries any more weight or importance than anyone else’s.
I wish they could show more of this kinder Michelle side. Whether its her or the editing, she always seems like she's the mean one where as ru is just there
That grey/white streak really really works for her! Gotta love Michelle
I absolutely love Michelle and I believe her when she says she loves all those kids. Ru may push them out of the nest and debut them, but it’s Michelle who teaches them to fly.
This side of Michelle is so fun!!! Loveeeee
She is just an angel, so professional. My favorite always.
"maybe its cause i'm a virgo" lol i love her so much!!!
I really appreciate the way Michelle sees the world and cares about everyone.
Michelle Visage has put so much energy, health and time into Ru's legacy that she has long deserved her own show. I am very glad that they began to invite her to other shows, she periodically sits on the jury of cool projects. But galvno, she became a real icon in a very difficult genre of art and became a national favorite of all fans of Ru races
I think she's happy being the "Rhoda" on the show. She was already an icon 30 years ago.
The first thing Michelle ever said to me was "Um, you have lipstick on your teeth". I stan forever.
Thank you for always being so real spreading love and kindness
i love the respect michelle has for the show and the contestants. would like to see her putting ru down from the pedestal she has him on at least once, though
I desperately hope I age even like 10% as beautifully as Michelle Visage has.
So when are we banding together to demand Bimini's full Snatch Game performances?
6:31 YES! 10000% couldn’t have said it better!
she's such a lowkey queen and so respectful
This really proves why Michelle is the best of the judges!
I just love Michelle her confidence is so over glaringly beautiful even more so cuz she’s such a wonderful human being! Love her!
I love how Michelle just took all the credit for Vanjie's iconic exit. lol
I love Michelle! She always means well
She is such a gorgeous woman. I love Michelle Visage, a true honourary Brit indeed. 🥰
*Drag Race wouldn't be the same without Michelle, and I love that drag humour is often self-deprecating which is the humour we love in Britain, and clearly Michelle and Rupaul understand us too.*
I just want to hug her, and have her be my best friend.... She's awesome.
i cannot stand when she says ITS NOT ABOUT MONEY literally yes it is… if you only have $20 you’re not going to get very far are you???
Well she’s talking about figures in the hundreds, most queens can go on with thousands to their own runway. Props to Miss Rajah for sewing nearly all the as6 runways except her blue tulle gown
Uhmmm...well....to quote miss Veronica Green, you don't need money to do drag, but you need money to do Drag Race.
Jaida? Rajah?
@@hotmessology3757 Exactly
@@andricardenas7854 2 examples to hundreds that prove otherwise
Michelle is the BEST part of RPDR. Y'ALL CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND
I love Michelle, she seems so genuine and like a real person. What a star.
Can't wait for Michelle to host Down Under 4 on her own ❤
"... Oh, this mess." - preach Michelle
The fact that Michelle remembers all of their names omg Ru can never
michelle doing british drag race has her saying mate and piss.. love it 😂
I think she’s the “Mari liendres “ supreme
but shes a nice, respectful mari liendres so its not that ipsetting
People take themselves too seriously!!!
So right girl!
Michelle saying 'bezzie mate' had me wheezing
LITERALLY ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT
I love Michelle! STUNNING! ❤
UGHH I JUST LOVE MICHELLE 💘
“Maybe because I’m a Virgo” I love it
she’s amazing and she’s soooo right about not taking everything too seriously yall are toxic😂😂😂
Lmao for real. I told a queen she improved so much since the last time I saw her, I'm 27, she's 19 now. And the first thing this girl said to me was how she couldn't believe I just said that because she was always amazing. And hasn't spoken to me since. LOL. Safe to say we don't book them.
@@RavanaMuse but the real problem is the fandom, obsessed with skin color (both black and white), hypersensitive and out of reality
AMEN
I am a HUGE fan of Michelle! Looooooooove her so much 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Omgness she looks so pretty in this video. 💜
I live for it when she said "Take the piss". She really is an honorary brit
I love Michelle so much, she seems like such a genuine human being 💜
On a separate note, the H&M/money thing will never not make me angry! Money has such a huge impact on what you're able to achieve, whether you have taste or not. A poorer Queen with great taste is not going to look as impressive as a richer Queen with great taste, that's just a fact and I wish the show would stop punishing Queens because they don't have money, it's so offensive! That whole H&M rant was awful and uncalled for! The Queens had just come out of a Lockdown during a pandemic where none of them could work or make money! Jo Black (and many others) had had to sell loads of their costumes in order to pay rent! To make it through that only to have a multi millionaire yell at you about where you buy your clothes.... Unbelievably offensive, tasteless and tone deaf.
It sad, where they attack joe for a h&m she tried her best, it was at the peek of the pandemic
Also Joe was wearing one of the best and most imaginative outfits ever appeared on the main runway
Also not to mention she was having to sell all of her stuff because she wasnt getting any work during the pandemic
And it wasn't even for a runway
I really like Joe's outfit
It’s not about the fuckin h&m its about creativity and doin somethin with it. Lord how are people THIS ignorant😭
Michelle Visage is an icon and a legend - live for huh! ♥️
“I knew Michelle when Michelle was Michael”
she is so so SO beautiful
