Ep. 208 - Morgan McMichaels and Aaron Parnas with Seven

This week on The It Girl Podcast, Britney Shields welcomes back one of our most beloved guests — the unstoppable Seven, returning for her second appearance after snatching victory at the Henny Games: Victors Quarter Quell. Since then, she’s been everywhere, serving as the host and producer of her own hit pre-show at Micky’s: Seven’s Heaven.We break down her winning strategy, her growth since season one, and the art of doing drag right — from respecting your elders to honoring the steps of the ladder before taking the crown. Seven gives us a masterclass on the many corners of the drag universe: ·      The bar scene·      The ballroom scene·      The dance and competition scenes·      The pageant scene…and all the microcultures that make LA drag a sprawling, interconnected ecosystem and how Seven has her fingers in so many of the pots.Then we enter full It Girl Mode:·      Miss Mexico’s Miss Universe 2025 win and the controversy shaking the global pageant world·      Wicked 2, which is already rewriting the culture before it even drops·      Morgan McMichaels, fresh off being crowned Entertainer of the Year — we honor her legacy, her influence, and the blueprint she created for all of us to follow·      Aaron Parnas, the young independent progressive journalist keeping us informed (and occasionally unwell) with the real-time scoop on social mediaSeven also takes a victory lap for predicting the rise of the K-Pop Demon Hunters trend earlier this summer — just another reminder that drag queens are the true cultural forecasters of our generation.We close with impassioned pleas for “Wheel of Time” and “Pushing Daisies” — two shows that deserve their Renaissance now.It’s a reunion, a revelation, and a reminder that Seven is always seven steps ahead of the culture.
