"I got more legs than a bucket of chicken!" For this episode, we've got big looks, big hearts, and even BIGGER hats: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar! It's been 30 years since this glittery road trip comedy debuted, and we're celebrating the unforgettable drag stylings brought to life by costume designer legend Marlene Stewart (Coyote Ugly, The Holiday, Madonna music videos). Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo don drag as Miss Vita Boheme, Noxeema Jackson, and Chi-Chi Rodriguez—three queens (ahem, two queens and one drag princess!) on a cross-country journey filled with makeovers, marabou, and midwestern magic. We break down the trio's signature styles, discuss RuPaul's cameo moment as Rachel Tensions, and the Clueless-level volume of costume changes. We also talk about our recent obsessions, including Blaire's glass fruit ASMR and Marie's bald Lafufu. [SCREAMS] Tune in now!
