I know. She's so interesting but her whole personality just doesn't work for the drag race format (NOT a read btw). Like I want to know more of her story without the rikikik kacow of everything. Even this showcase is so calm and refreshing. 😅🥰
I remember when I discovered Drag Race. I was at home with a baby, in the depths of PPD, needed something while I sat there BFeeding for hours and hours, that raised my spirits. I remember when she came out in the snake costume and jumping to my feet, my daughter gave me the first of many side eyes 👀. It really inspired me to get my self together. Bought new quick easy make up and started taking pride in myself again. I love Shannel ❤
tbh this is the only portrait of a queen that i've actually watched all the way through, shannel has lived such an interesting life and she's such a talented artist. i literally had no clue she had such a huge successful christmas business.
We all owe Shannel some gratitude for bringing the drama to season one of RPDR. Although she didn't know exactly what she was getting herself into she made good television and helped build the foundation that is the Drag Race universe today. Loved her on AS9 and was wonderful that new Drag Race fans had the chance to get to know her. She is a legendary and iconic queen and is deserving of every success she has earned. Her second chapter as an extreme holiday decorator is a wonderful extension of her creativity and artistry. It's beautiful to see her so happy, fulfilled and successful.
Can't like this enough. So happy she went on all stars 9! I'm one of the new fans. She's had such an interesting life, and love love her spirit and that she's so passionate about her work. Wish her continued success
I love that EVERY member of Shannell's family is gay! His grandma, his father, his puppets, his deers, his mom, his bedroom, his accountant, his gardener, his puppy! That's why he's perfect! ❤
It seemed to work for her family but we really gotta stop marrying/having kids with women knowing we are gay and will eventually leave they ass. That's just messed up to the women.
I have so much love and respect for older queens. Starting to do drag at a time where it wasn't popular or celebrated must have required a huge amount of guts and courage.
Who is producing, editing and directing? The last few portraits have stepped up in showing the person behind the persona. Bravo to the Queens and the team behind the scenes.
It’s time we give Shannel her flowers - she truly is a trendsetter (this is cliche and overused - but it’s true), who really set the tone for the level and quality of drag for two decades, ever since she first walked into the werkroom.
He could have been a narcissistic parent and possibly was jealous of his own son. Perhaps Shannel was a bit too gay and successful in a way he was not and could never be.
This was actually pretty fantastic! I’m so very sorry about the deadbeat dad … but obviously it has not stopped this beautiful human from blossoming! 🌻
I fell in love with Shannel when she walked into work room S1 and have loved her ever since. Her confidence, polish, professionalism and dedication to her craft shine through. Absolute 🍊 icon!
I'm so glad for this, I have been a huge fan of Shannel for so many years. His skills for makeup and Christmas decorations are insanely great. Greetings and blessings to all you from Venezuela.
Shannel (I'm crying as I type this) U r positively otherworldly. I'm a huge ride ur die fan of many drag queens who r positively sickening but there is no one out there like u. No one. Love & blessings to u❤
I'm so grateful for this video right now, I'm at a weird point in my career where my boss is probably going to try and make a fool out of me to favor some girl whose mom is his friend. And for a moment yesterday and today I was thinking "maybe I'm being delusional and am actually not that great, maybe I don't deserve to get everything that I want" and watching Shannel made me realise (or remember) that people will always try to make me feel that way, and that I do deserve to go after everything that I want and that I do deserve it. Thank you guys, and mostly Shannel, for making this video happen. I think it might've changed my nearby future for the better.
if you asked me a year ago to draw a picture of what i thought shannel's (non-christmas) house looked like, it would be this, pixel for pixel. the diva that you are miss mandarin ♥
Shannell your Christmas decor is really a sight to see and you always been one of my favorite queens through all the seasons. Truly you are a vision of beauty
Hello Shannel from Canada! You are inspiring, love Portrait of a Queen. I can't wait to see you in Vegas. Much love from our whole family from the North. We love you! ❤❤
What a beautiful joyful spirit Shannel has!! I love Christmas is my favorite holiday for all these reasons, and I've always been team Shannel. I love her so much!!
This has always been my favorite Drag Queen. He’s so artistically talented. I love the way he does his makeup and decorates his home. His Christmas house was amazing! Plus he seems so nice! I wish you all the happiness in the world.
I absolutely love Shannel ❤ such a fabulous queen and a gorgeous human being x I’m so happy she is getting so much success and recognition ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄 I am a diehard Christmas cheermeister , so loved the house and decor 🎉
Shannel just showed us that you can prevail in life and make the best of it with what you've got, I strive for that much of a light that sparks up something beautiful and satisfying within, that sense of contempt. ❤
It's my third time watching this episode, complete. Why? I don't know how to answer. Shannel has always been a queen that I deeply admired (and many other RuGirls expressed the same feeling) and seeing her tell her story, so emotionally and sincerely really caught me. Your art, your beauty and your work inspire people around the world. Thank you, Shannel!
Месяц назад+1
This made me love her. I learned so much about Brian and to see his strength through what life has brought him is inspiring. His confidence is amazing. He and Shannell are a power house.
Shannel, I know there's only a small chance you'll ever read this but just in case... What struck me the most about this portrait is how in touch with the magic of life itself you are ✨ that is an incredibly powerful gift and you are so full of wonder and I'm so proud of you. The wavelength you operate on is infectious and I believe it does have some kind of ripple effect on the world around you. Thank you for bringing your sparkle (physically and energetically) to the playing field 😍🎄😀🎁
It wasn't till this moment that I realized I share the same feelings about christmas . If I had the means I'd probably decorate the same way . Buy I do alot as it is it takes me 2 months to put it up . Love ya shannell
Even though I've seen some of the Drag Race shows, I am not deeply familiar with contestants' lives outside of the show. Watching this story with my morning coffee has been a lovely boost to my own "holiday cheer" mood today. Shannel's love and talent surrounding Christmas decor is both energizing and fascinating to me.
God bless shannels mom. Gone too soon . But lives on through her children. The way shannel speaks of her is like she never left. Keep that memory alive. I would say shes still never missed a show and has the best seat where shes at now.
Shannel. You're beautiful. I bow to your legacies. The live of a stage performer. You're so charismatic, charming and warm up there. And blessings to your mom
Oh how I love shannel she is truly the queen of Christmas like do y’all know how much work it takes to decorate houses like that. Like I would hate having to take down all of those decorations.
Shannel has such an interesting story. I am so intrigued, I felt a roll coaster of emotions while watching. I got the pleasure of seeing her once in Vegas. I hope that her Christmas business continues to thrive.
Wow I was genuinely enthralled, every minute of this. Shannel is such an interesting, intriguing, spectacular queen! I mean she really is like one of THE drag queens
I never ever leave comments on RUclips videos- this is the first… but shannel if you ever read this you are an absolute inspiration, you are a joy to watch! Thank you for being you xxx and I would love to see a movie of your life xxxx ❤
![Queens on a Quest | Dimension 20: Dungeons and Drag Queens [Full Episode]](/img/1.gif)
Like Violet said, it's Shannel's world, we're all just living in it.
Love how refined and glamour she makes Las Vages Nevada
This has so many layers wtf
I need a full documentary movie of Shannel
Yaaassss
NEED IT❤❤❤
Literally or she should write a book
I know. She's so interesting but her whole personality just doesn't work for the drag race format (NOT a read btw). Like I want to know more of her story without the rikikik kacow of everything. Even this showcase is so calm and refreshing. 😅🥰
@WOW plzzzz produce this!!! 😍😍😍
Christ, this was like a Netflix documentary. I was GRIPPED! What a fascinating portrait.
She should definitely make a documentary on it!
bless Shannel’s mom. such a supportive and loving person. may she rest in paradise
We need more beautiful souls like her 💖
Finally getting the Deserved recognition that is long overdue. This is an artist
I remember when I discovered Drag Race. I was at home with a baby, in the depths of PPD, needed something while I sat there BFeeding for hours and hours, that raised my spirits. I remember when she came out in the snake costume and jumping to my feet, my daughter gave me the first of many side eyes 👀. It really inspired me to get my self together. Bought new quick easy make up and started taking pride in myself again. I love Shannel ❤
tbh this is the only portrait of a queen that i've actually watched all the way through, shannel has lived such an interesting life and she's such a talented artist. i literally had no clue she had such a huge successful christmas business.
genuinely, shes lived a life, and is just so real, very “my father gets a job at the palm restaurant”
Same here, save for maybe Katya however long ago that was
I was thinking the exact same thing
Same!
Same! She's very interesting
Shoutout to good moms ❤ nothing like unconditional love
We all owe Shannel some gratitude for bringing the drama to season one of RPDR. Although she didn't know exactly what she was getting herself into she made good television and helped build the foundation that is the Drag Race universe today.

Her second chapter as an extreme holiday decorator is a wonderful extension of her creativity and artistry. It's beautiful to see her so happy, fulfilled and successful.
Shannel, what a cool story, I just went from “Oh I know her” to “Girl, I love you” in 20 minutes. Thanks for spilling ❤
Can't like this enough. So happy she went on all stars 9! I'm one of the new fans. She's had such an interesting life, and love love her spirit and that she's so passionate about her work. Wish her continued success
Her mom did a phenomenal job raising her. Yes she is beautiful on the outside, but she is so so beautiful on the inside, she exudes joy.
Shannel needs her own Christmas design show. Something to binge during the holidays
Agreed.
@hallmark are you there?
I love that EVERY member of Shannell's family is gay! His grandma, his father, his puppets, his deers, his mom, his bedroom, his accountant, his gardener, his puppy! That's why he's perfect! ❤
It seemed to work for her family but we really gotta stop marrying/having kids with women knowing we are gay and will eventually leave they ass. That's just messed up to the women.
Don’t think he ever said his mom was gay but yeah!!
Shhh let us have this moment
lol
I have so much love and respect for older queens. Starting to do drag at a time where it wasn't popular or celebrated must have required a huge amount of guts and courage.
This season's Portrait of a Queen is fire. Shining the spotlight on the person behind the character.
Who is producing, editing and directing? The last few portraits have stepped up in showing the person behind the persona. Bravo to the Queens and the team behind the scenes.
It’s time we give Shannel her flowers - she truly is a trendsetter (this is cliche and overused - but it’s true), who really set the tone for the level and quality of drag for two decades, ever since she first walked into the werkroom.
Dam Shannel's dad is a piece of work. Love Shannel so much.
The definition of pulling focus
My thoughts exactly! That back story was giving me whip lash!!
@@MikelosM She’s giving “too much”
The wife is probably abusive and manipulate him to cut Shannel off of his life.
He could have been a narcissistic parent and possibly was jealous of his own son. Perhaps Shannel was a bit too gay and successful in a way he was not and could never be.
This was a treat. I've watched Shannel since her entrance on season 1. Been a huge fan ever since. So happy for all her successes. ❤
i love that her house is as extra as i expected, but still beautiful and tasteful as her drag
OHHHH SHANNEL IS LOADED!!!
Yes babes lol I'm almost 30 she's been working working for years so Happy for shannel
And I’m happy for her haha not everyone can make it
This was actually pretty fantastic! I’m so very sorry about the deadbeat dad … but obviously it has not stopped this beautiful human from blossoming! 🌻
love seeing her in her element. living in gratitude and clearly blessed
Shannel is so cute! I’m so happy that she’s getting her flowers! She is just incredible and talented!
She is a true legend PERIOD ❤ I love that the fandom is catching up with how fierce and absolutely unique She is!
Totally teared up like four times watching this- Shannel has a heart of gold and just exudes JOY. How can you not love her?! ❤❤
One of my most favorite queens. I gasped when I saw Shannel juggling on Season 1, and I'm still in awe.
I have loved Shannel from the moment she walked in the workroom, a true legend and talent beyond belief. ❤❤
I fell in love with Shannel when she walked into work room S1 and have loved her ever since. Her confidence, polish, professionalism and dedication to her craft shine through. Absolute 🍊 icon!
I'm so glad for this, I have been a huge fan of Shannel for so many years. His skills for makeup and Christmas decorations are insanely great. Greetings and blessings to all you from Venezuela.
I love Shannel so much she is a queen through and through and so interesting. I could listen to her talk about anything and be so captivated by it!
Shannel (I'm crying as I type this) U r positively otherworldly. I'm a huge ride ur die fan of many drag queens who r positively sickening but there is no one out there like u. No one. Love & blessings to u❤
I can hear Shannel talk all day. She's got the gift a gab -- another talent!
That made me cry It was the best episode and probably couldnt be outdone. I never knew. Love you Shannell!!
I've loved Shannel since viewing Season 1 of RPDR in 2009. Very talented queen 😻
Shannel/Brian is THEE best queen. Her eyes, I just want to stare into them everyday! To me, she won, and will continue to be a winner!
THIS portrait of a Queen has been one of my favorite of them all! Shannel ❤❤❤
One of my absolute favorite drag queens ever ! Iconic !
This should have been an hour long special by itself. Such a fascinating and fabulous queen 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Shannel is so magnetic and well spoken. She needs a reality show right now!
GIRL, I clicked this so fast! I love Shannel and need a whole documentary about her

One of the best episodes from this series.
Shannel is one of the most relatable queens out of drag there is. Fight me.
Sounds like a lovely childhood ❤❤❤ I was also very close to my dad as a kid. Can’t imagine how hard it must be to have lost contact with him. 😢
I went to the drag brunch in November and it was one of the best experiences I’ve experienced in my 41 years. I absolutely loved it!
Shannel is RPDR. Stunning, always
AWESOME! JOYFUL! PEACEFUL! Thank you and many, many blessings Shannel to you and your team...
Shannel eliminating herself was iconic.
So glad his mother encouraged him to apply.
The return for AS9 was long overdue.
