    Honestly one of the most educated queens I have ever seen, so proud of you for making it onto S9 and I hope to witness you perform in the UK one day!

    I don't appreciate how the queens would ask you a question then immediately interrupt you while answering asked question. Seeing Nina and Charlie be there for you was really endearing. Jaymes, you really are a star. No queen has created content such as yours and I am proud and inspired. You're amazing, and I'm so happy to see other viewers/queens/etc see how special you are!!!

    Awesome episode honey. Glad to see you talk about Lily Savage, she is a legend here in the UK.
    As a Scottish person I had a laugh at how you pronounced Edinburgh though. Haha. If you want to know how to say it, phonetically it sounds like Eh-Den-Burr-Ugh. :)

    Thanks so much for featuring the fantastic Lily Savage, and educating me on the others. I loved Lily all through the 90s, and even though Lily's retired, Paul O'Grady is a lovely TV presenter. Watching Lily's videos on UA-cam brought me to Drag race, and ultimately here. Can't wait to see you at the Season 9 reunion, Jaymes.

  • @Brandoncye

    LILY SAVAGE! As a UK-resident I'm so pleased to see Lily being recognised! Lily was a legend, she was the first Drag Queen I knew as a kid....I remember watching her gameshow Blankety Blank which was our version of "Match Game" except we had a FABULOUS Drag Queen as our host!

  • @domesticgoddess1663

  • @storageheater
    @storageheater 7 років тому

    Alongside the talk shows and one-woman shows, there's another thing that shows what a household name Lily Savage really was - for five years she hosted a primetime comedy celebrity panel show that ran for 20 years in total, previously hosted by enormously beloved (and rather traditional) figures. And this was when UK TV had only just launched its fifth TV channel, too.
    This is a fab video, I learned a lot. Thankyou!

Please continue to make more of these, as they are truly special! My wish list of queens I'd love to see profiled are Tom Rubnitz, Panti Bliss, Dina Martina, Jeremy Stockwell, Doris Fish, Eddie Izzard and Ed Wood.

    Other drag performers from Mexico that I think are worth mentioning are: Dario T Pie, he does an exaggerated character that is based on Maria Felix, one of the most important actresses of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, and it's really funny; Carlos Rangel who has a character called Manigüis; German y Freddy Ortega, a pair of brothers that does comedy skits, have two female characters called Jitomata y Perejila; and Eduardo España with his creation of Doña Margara Francisca.

    @thegypsygeek 7 років тому +1

    Please make a video at some point on Brazilian drag queens! If you could find subtitles for a documentary called "São Paulo in Hi-Fi" I think you'd love it, it's the story of the popularisation of gay and lesbian nightlife in the city of São Paulo in the 1970s, and many of the queens who used to perform in such clubs are interviewed for it. It's super cool, plus as you might have noticed brazilians are sort of obsessed with drag lol Thank you for providing us with such enriching material on the herstory of this Art form, it's super important to keep alive the names and the memory of those who came before us and paved the way for all the modern brilliance to be displayed. Also: you're adorable! But of course you knew that

      gilbertblaze to be honest I don't think it's the edit I think that actually honestly showed how she felt and made me feel sad :(

    • @liloheavykilo7925
      @liloheavykilo7925 7 років тому +2

      i believe she did feel down during the untucked, but there is also very shady editing
      her entrance being backed by clownish music then leading to very sharp cuts of people being rude about her and to her
      this could be seen as playful but when compared to the other queens entrances it seems very intentional making her seem stupid and a weak link
      which would most likely lead to a redemption 'shining her true personality' or an early elimation
      thats just what i noticed, i wish her the best though

    • @quidproquo82
