This week, we’re stepping away from the main stage drama of the current season to share something a little more personal — how drag first twirled its way into our lives. Jewel and Jeremy are spilling the tea on their very first encounters with the world of drag, the queens and moments that left a lasting impression, and how RuPaul’s Drag Race became more than just a show — it became part of our story. From first lip-syncs and late-night binge sessions to the ways drag has inspired, challenged, and shaped us, we’re opening up about the art form that stole our hearts. It’s laughter, nostalgia, and maybe even a few “remember when” moments, all served with a side of sparkle. Whether you’re a day-one fan or just now discovering the magic, pull up a chair — you’re part of the family now.
