“RuPaul’s Drag Race" Cast Explains The History of Drag Culture | Allure
Whenever i hear kennedy talk, all i hear is "after a long night..."
Of hookin'... Lmao i can't
The TRAde didn't like the session. So he gutted me. And set me on fire. But you see I didn't die. I had crystallized and turned into a glamazon ready for the runway
Ahahaha same
Lmao 🤣
I hear “White Shoes, Black Stockings Shouldn’t be Allowed in the Church”!🤩
Kennedy serving powerpoint presentation realness 😂
THE BEST COMMENT!!! LOL
Shangela is the only one who didn't seem like she was just reading from a script. Condragulations, my dear, you are the winner of this challenge.
Javier Ramos amen ✨👏🏻
She's a pro!
Erik Jampa Andersson all stars 3 winner
Sunshine No she's not Sunshine... Shangela is a PROFESSIONAL PRO!
I met Shangela on two separate occasion, performing at my college and at a pride event in NYC. She is always super entertaining and professional
Aww Chi Chi, we're gonna miss her SO much :(
Yes 😭😭😭
She dead?
@@WilliamJulienNkogheOlympio yes
😢
kennedy is me doing a powerpoint tbh
Lol right
😂😂😂😂😂
Performing a CBT kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Literally beat me too this comment im laughing so hard
She was clearly reading off something lmaooo
Seeing Chi Chi was heartbreaking. RIP Bayou Queen
Trixie was probably really good at School presentations
she has a bfa in theatre so maybe that helps her
100%
She is doing her Ru impersonation again
I dunno, probably not honestly. She was probably shy af as a kid bc of everything she went through growing up
@@Boobalopbop lol true
Not everyone was made to be in front of the camera doing script work, but clearly they've asked all the Queens from this season to help out, and they did. It's more important that information like this gets out to those who are curious or need education, then whether or not someone can really read beautifully off the cue cards.
Thank you!! It's refreshing to see a positive and sensible comment online!
Kennedy is lacking what Bendela is exaggerating
TTTHHHHANK YOU
DeLa’s not exaggerating tho. She’s being herself
@@hellopaolo no shes not. shes being her character. watch interviews of dela out of drag. there's a difference
@@WilliamMohamad-uv5fi yeah and in case you didn't notice, she's in drag soooo
that's why bendela is not boring
Please note that drag also existed in Japanese Noh theater (circa 14th century) where all the actors were male, but some wore female costumes/masks. Also the Japanese Kabuki (approx 16th century) did the same thing, but (instead of masks) with highly stylized makeup and a more comedic aspect. Silent-film icons Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel also did drag in some early films. (Obviously, pre-Code)! Anyone know of "Sylvia Scarlett", wherein Katherine Hepburn is in drag for the bulk of the film? 'Queen Christina", Garbo? 1991's "Switch" plays on the male/female body/psyche with Ellen Barkin playing a man in (literally) a woman's body. Early Grecian theater (thousands of years ago), relied on men acting as women (indeed, women could not even attend unless they were a courtesan or slave), although festivals that were solely for women may have had female actors. Mayan culture? We may never know a) if they had a form of theater, and b) what that may have encompassed since almost every trace (except for one codex) was destroyed by Spanish conquerors. Cross dressers: They range from female pirates to a saint (Joan of Arc) to rulers (Hatshepsut of ancient Egypt), Alexander the Great (he loved him some Artemis-drag!) So basically, from the very beginnings of entertainment (really recorded life), drag has been part of the culture. There is a long, rich, colorful, vibrant history of this art and this reality.
ya can make your own video, ya know
Gia even said about drag being very popular in China
Thank you.... and yet soo many PoC on here want to bash white people for "stealing their culture"... people need to do their research and learn how cultures intertwine....
Drag also existed in Chinese opera as can be seen in Farewell my Concubine
@Talsong Kingslayer , yes, back in the old days, even to Ancient Greece, only men were onstage doing all the parts.
Dela and Shangela delivered so well here. Condragulations you both are the top 2 of the week
Jaduceus Top 2 of the week is Ben and Kennedy. Your top 2 is from last week.
Flwrnly Delphione I think you misunderstood -the assignment-
Ben is too over dramatic
Top 2 of the hall season!!
*milk crying because she delivered so many lines*
Ok but, can we talk about milk's look?, love it
This is The comment i was trying to find!
hate it :[
Yasssss he is the epitome of creativity
Its not real drag though.
@@Tytytytyty1776 wtf is real drag then
Kennedy, my dear, i'm sorry but you are up for elimination.
Why because she does look like a real gurl and not a man.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what ya say about dat huh?
@@lolno3755 That's funny, tell another one!
GachaGalxy player r/woooosh
@@lolno3755 r/whooosh.
The only reason I scrolled down...HAHAHA! Lawd have mercy. Miss Thing needs to get Hooked On Phonics.
Why does their execution of information and tone of voice remind me of group doing a class presentation 💀
I want whatever Kennedy is on lmao
hotdog water why would you want to be like him. He should’ve been eliminated last episode
Illiteracy 😂😂
wakememckinney yet he wasn’t oops
hotdog water p
it's a drug called unprofessionalism
gotta love how they breezed right over stonewall and the contributions marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera made lol
@gray73 Johnson has actually said that he was not there and that neither was Sylvia Rivera. For some reason, it's other people that have been lying about them.
Marsha P. Johnson arrived on the second night of the riots, whereas they had been kicked off by drag king Stormy DeLarverie punching a cop apparently
@@truzle6133 Johnson is a trans woman so please respect pronouns. Even if she didnt start the riots it's still disrespectful and the T is a fundamental part of the LGBT community
@@50ulEat3r Marsha referred to themselves as Marsha or as Malcolm and used he and she pronouns. She never referred to herself as transgender; she called herself a drag queen. What I think is disrespectful is totwist another person's identity to fit a narrative that you desire. I listened to his actual words and respect what he says.
@@truzle6133 I'm not twisting to fit a narrative, I was under the (wrong) impression that she solely considered herself a woman as I only ever hear her being referenced as a transgender woman. I didnt know they went by any pronouns
kennedy failed this maxi challenge
Kari Filardo LMAAAOOOO I CANT BREATHE
Kari Filardo 😂😂😂
LMAO ASDASJKLDHÑLA
Correction, she failed the 3rd grade.
Again?
Top three: Shangela, DeLa And Trixie
Safe: Aja, Morgan, Chi Chi And Thorgy
Bottom two: Kennedy And Milk
RuPaul: Kennedy Devenport you're And Will always be a All Star, now Sashay away.
You're going to let Shangela get away with pronouncing July like that?
Let’s not pretend that Kennedy wouldn’t destroy Milk in a lip sync for your life though. Lol.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
this is not a video about drag culture... its a video about american drag culture
*snap snap* Yes.
american drag QUEEN culture & history
Yeah, it was definitely skewed toward the American experience. They probably realized midway through researching that they had bitten off more than they could chew and decided to keep it US-focused with only brief mention of other (much-longer) traditions. I was surprised they didn't highlight Japanese theatre, and only a passing glance toward Dame Edna out of England's long tradition of drag in theatre.
Yeah, I mean I was kind of expecting it to be American centred anyway but then adding in Dame Edna as if she was the first drag queen we ever had in the UK is kind of odd. I mean people have been doing drag at The Vauxhall Road Tavern in London for so long no one is quite sure when they started. And that's just one bar! And to not even mention Lilly Savage is probably a crime.
FALA MEMO
Kennedy is honestly me when I have to present in class lmao
Why do they sound like they're a powerpoint for aschool presentation? 😂
Karii Lynn it isn't?
They probably had a whole 5 minutes to prepare for this. Don't blame the queens, blame Allure.
because we gotta break it down to first grade reading levell tp educate people not in the lgbt
Well they’ll be reading a script most likely
This week's challenge you will have to present...
The way she said”yassssssss” and “yasssss queennnn” was perfect
Aja looks incredible in that vintage look.
You're right!
💗
todrickhall yeah todrick I see you!
Todrick I love you so much ♥
Yasss
todrickhall 😍✨💓
Aja looks soo pretty
gabi sz
Yasss
Just seeing this now. It is so bitter sweet to see Chi Chi. Love and miss her so much!
Kennedy is so uninterested lmao
Because she’s so close minded to every kind of drag except her own
D G.G. Probably because the script was hella whitewashed and lacked fact checking lmao
wakememckinney try again
Wenn ich Kiffe, komme ich mir genauso vor!
0:13 you're telling me that's not violet
Chi chi’s face looks sooo olive and the contrast between her face and neck is huge
Sun Babe everytime I see Chi Chi her face never matches her body
I didn't even realise that until you pointed it out
right!?
It was the first thing I saw.
"gurl have you seen how orage you fing look" haha
REST IN PEACE CHI CHI! 😭😭
Chi chi’s foundation looks grey but she looks better than ever
Alyaa H it could be a callback to when foundations and make up used in drag gave queens a grey face
re rub could be
Also Shangela 9 o'clock shadow
Why is no one appreciating how FANTASTIC Milk looks is OH MY GOD PERFECTION
Id really love to meet some of these people. The charisma and charm not to mention the makeup. Ugh masterful
Sarah Miller I've met Trixie, Milk, Dela, and Aja they are just as captivating in person 💜💜
You might have local drag queens in your city! I would definitely recommend looking up some info for some gay bars and seeing if they have any shows!
If you do not, RuPaul’s Drag Race is currently on MTV. Check your local listings, and it’s also available online!
horkerloaf hey I'd really like to know how Trixie is is person, would you mind telling me what your experience was like meeting her?
Charisma
Uniqueness
Nerve and
Talent to be exact.
0:47 really loved seeing Tempest Du Jour in her earlier days
No mention of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera???
Jennifer Whiteside Yes! I was waiting for something about Marsha P. Johnson. She had a huge impact as both a drag queen and a trans woman, and I think it's unfortunate that she was left out here.
I was thinking the same thing , but maybe they’re only focusing on drag and drag queens and I think Marsha was a trans woman? Correct me if I’m work
That's correct Daniel
Jennifer Whiteside I agree they both should have been mentioned and I know it had to be short but a fictional character from a movie was brought up
Both are trans
I love it I just wish you ladies talked more about Marsha P. Johnson
c'mon 6th grade reading level
mossy I know your only talking about kennedy
mossy FOR REAAAAAAAAL 😭
wakememckinney C'mon orthography!
mossy BWAHA
???
Shangela living the phrase eyebrows are sisters not twins, and yet still slaying
I'm a Trixie stan, but I've NO time for this here Bendela-hating comment section. Let her talk however she likes okurrr? Ok.
I guess everyone except Ben is allowed to be a character. No one tells Alyssa to calm down. I love all the supposed fans telling Ben how her drag should be. Her voice is her character and she is quite successful with it!
watertownnative Alyssa isn't a character though... that's who she is
Shauuly VEVO no it's annoying and forced
Shauuly VEVO she's literally Terminally Delightful, it's her thing, people should chill 😂
no one is hating on Bendela chill for just 1 youtube comment tho
Rest In Power Chi Chi!
I honestly feel like this didn’t do Queens of Color any justice like, why do we always ignore Latin/Black lgbt in our history
Gay people can still be white thats why im gay but I always say "im black before im gay" because the lgbt community is SUPER racist. They can see your skin before your sexual buisness lol
MichaelxAmor The REAL LATIN people are caucasians (European) 💋
sparkle on unicorn Gurl I’m also a black gay male and what you just typed is a mess....you shouldn’t put your blackness above your gayness and vice versa....it should be at a equal playing field
Just because they didn’t put one in the video doesn’t mean they’re trying to exclude you. I’m bi and love the community but why does everything nowadays have to include everyone?? Cant it just be implied? Why does not having people of color automatically mean we’re racist? You need to stop.
Crystal LaBeija, Dorian Corey, Paris Dupree, Pepper LaBeija, etc. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Milk, Thorgy, Shangela, and Trixie sounded like they ACTUALLY knew what they were talking about.
Wrong! Dame Edna is Australian. She came to fame on Australian television as a house wife. She then also became a success in the UK. And in Australia, Dame Edna wasn’t the first.
Us Aussies are fiercely proud of our Dame Edna! Shes an Australian Icon as is the movie Priscilla Queen of the Dessert. Bit disappointed we werent mentioned, lucky i love my queens and RPDR X
you're fiercely proud of a Trump-loving raging transphobe?
Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage was legendary. He had his own show the Paul O'Grady Show on Channel 4 now he's a host of different shows and is one of the UK's most known LGBT celebrities
I love the character Lily Savage. She's hilarious and I love Paul O'Grady as a person. He seems like one of the nicest people on the planet.
Don’t forget Danny La Rue had his own variety show on TV
For the longest I had a hard time understanding drag because as a sic woman I felt as if my identity was treated as a performance or a costume that men can just put on or take off but I'm starting to appreciate it and educate myself about the things I don't understand yet❤️
girl if you don’t stfu your whole comment is a joke 😐
Excuse me but Dame Edna is an Australian Icon
NotSoAmazingGrace Thank you! 🇦🇺
damn straight! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 silly possums
As Australian as a vegemite lamington.
If hey wanted UK Lily Savage was where were at ;)
Zoe Healy and don't forget the legendary Danny La Rue 🇬🇧 and Babette🗼. And "drag" is a Polari (a gay slang created in Victorian London) for clothes as well, in use since the mid-1800s.
No Lily Savage? No Danny La Rue? No Hinge and Bracket? 🇬🇧
Someone please do a UK history of drag and dames and dilly boys.
You took the words out of my mouth.Clearly they are only interested in US drag culture here.
Yes...Danny LaRue
Lol so "yaaaaaaasss" comes from Black LGBT. Let's just get that out there.
Jayy Sonata along with the other 1,008,890,000 phrases that white drag race fans have taken and remixed as if they invented it smh matter fact alot of the phrases even come from older black women but that will never be acknowledged 🤷🤷
when you hear them say gurl, that's how my grandmother talked and she was from the south pour country
Glen Jones The black LGBT introduced them to a whole culture and they flipped it and took the narrative
Black Monroe tea
And remember Rupaul's Mother was From Louisiana , that how talk in the south
So good to see Chichi again
Some of these queens are really struggling to read
not everyone is good at reading things out loud and putting their flair on it. Nothing wrong with that.
Tru tho
They have heavy eyelashes
They can’t see the prompt through the eyelashes.
love seeing chi chi in videos, just to see her befor her unfortunate death, its brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it
how do you talk about stone wall without Marsha. C'mon guys.
Bryanna Wilson could also look up this stuff as well. Just saying
Cuz we all know who that is
@gray73 transphobes have no place in the drag community, gtfo
@gray73 whatever your feelings are, use the right pronouns.
McKenna Andersen he isnt a trans woman he refers to himself with male pronouns so what are you talking about?
So where was marsha’s shoutout or mention that her murder still isnt solved
RuPaul's single Supermodel was released in 1992, not 1994, hunty!
New Reliable wiki says nov 1993 🤔
www.discogs.com/RuPaul-Supermodel-You-Better-Work-House-Of-Love/master/79881
Wikipedia is often wrong, I am not
New Reliable You need to put that on a t-shirt and wear it around. Love it.
Don't forget movies such as "Pricilla Queen of the desert" "Too Wong Foo, Thanks for everything.Julie Newmar" and the Vegas show "LA Cage" where Kenny Kerr had boys lipsync for their lives!! Also the 85 yr old drag Queen who had a long running stand up show in Palm Springs!
def would have appreciated some acknowledgment of other black drag queens who were part of gay movement like Marsha p johnson, because far to often, they are not credited... kinds like this video.... and she shows the intersectionality of drag and trans, regardless, this was still very educational!
kcodsi I'd also really love to see more about the influence of black culture/lingo on that of drag
What about “Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.”? I loved that movie as a child.
I've never been this early hihi shangela is great at this. Also, love you trixie Mattel!
Shangela is SO good at this type of thing! She should get HER own talk show one day
DeLa has truly mastered a voice specially for drag!! she’s mastered her act
Chi chi's weird voice crack tho
I need Aja’s outfit like now.
Also- Bendelas read about Kennedy in AS3 was totally accurate.
No mention of The Cockettes nor the Club Kids? Great video though, nice to see someone not claiming that drag means "dressed as a girl".
Also lmao at Kennedy serving Klonopin realness
OMG CHI CHI 💔💔💔
Rest in power gorgeous.
I still can’t believe you’re gone. 💔💔💔
WRONG, dame Edna is an Australian icon and became famous in Australia, not the UK
🇦🇺✌
Dame Edna's fame is just as prolific in the UK as it is Australia, but yes - she's an Aussie icon.
I left this same message. People act like Australia isn't it's own country. It's NOT an appendage of the UK! lol
I wasn't even aware that Dame Edna is from Australia til yesterday. It's always portrayed that she's from the UK.
jeni150023 No she hasn't!
hold up a sec people... Herstory correction here.. Dame Edna Everage (aka Barry Humphries) was an AUSTRALIAN born and bred comedian and actor. Yes he rose to International fame outside of his home country firstly in London, but it is also notable to know that he is known as a cis gendered (straight) man and one of the most famous Drag Queens of all time. In 1982, Dame Edna's alter-ego Barry Humphries was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for "services to the theatre" and on 16 June 2007 he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to entertainment. In Australia he is a National treasure and icon, and while not as rock n roll as RuPaul, he is just as famous as RuPaul in Australia and the UK with a solid 50 years under his belt as an International renowned Drag Queen performer on television, radio , theatre and film.

I love DeLa!
sameeee
Awwwww ChChi❤️❤️❤️ Happy early birthday rest in power fellow Taurus
No mention of Marsha P Johnson talking about the Stonewall Riots?? Lahl okurr
But they did mention the Stonewall Riots...
Ahh chichi
kennedy failing to read of the teleprompter gives me liFE
No mention of torch song trilogy? Huge part of drag culture- Harvey firestein. Won a Tony Award for his portrayal of a drag queen.( He wrote the Play), then won another Tony award for writing the book La Cage aux Folles. Just saying.
what is going on with all the comments lmao who Hurt yall???? ??
Seeing chichi helped my heart
Men were allowed to do drag before women were allowed to do theatre.
I just realized drags not as liberating as I thought.
It’s misogynistic too!
@@michellea5415 it stereotypes women as bimbos, kinda degrading
@@obscureinternet7506 no it doesn’t?
“His reign” I’m crying, mother ru truly is an icon
One of the oldest forms of comedy
I Love it 😍
I came back to watch this video after I heard about the death of Chi Chi, may she Rest In Peace 🙏
Ohh Chi Chi, we love you.....(still shocked about the news) ...
Thank god for drag queens. Thanks for making the world more colourful and bearable. ❤️❤️❤️
RIP CHI CHI. WE LOVE YOU!
You forgot to mention Sylvester, Martha p. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera as well!!!!!!!! Come on guys, Martha and Sylvia were the leaders who started the gay civil rights movement. How can you forget these 2 really important figures when it comes to the drag and Stonewall movement. I'm really disappointed in this.
papindabx yeah that's true but they were trans women not drag queens
You obviously didn't do your research because the only one who self identified as transgender was Sylvia. And remember transgender women also did drag.
papindabx hmm really? My mistake then.
I'll look further in it
Chi chi 💜
rest in power chichi. you're missed dearly, your energy and personality will always be treasured ❤
Wonderful to know that so many people worked so hard as drag queens. Especially since some people think being a queen is just looking hot in a corset.
So they not gonna mention Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Riviera...... wow
Nayda Wilson they weren’t drag queens, stretch before you reach
tatyananaomi they mentioned Stonewall though... get it together sis let's be factual
i mean that's a reach, mawma.
They were drag queens. They were also trans women. But as we've seen with Peppermint, you can be both.
E B people say she was actually gnc (gender non confirming) but idk
Chichi ❤️❤️ RIPower beautiful
I'm not trying to take away from any of the other history, but old black women from the South been saying "yaaaas".
I'm not sure if it started in the south, but it is undeniable that "yaaaaas" (and most other slang) started with black women.
meganjerai true sis, Black woman and black lgbt
It did, but it was the LGBT community that really made it explode into everyday vocabulary outside of the black community.
I unintentionally said yaaaass when they mentioned the rocky horror picture show
If Bendela doesn’t win AS3 I’m suing RuPaul
fati rhr how u feel about what happened ??
