This Video Will Change The Way You See Pandora Boxx

- Exploring the legacy of Pandora Boxx was honestly like opening a box of secrets that I had never heard about before. What started out as just a quick video, ended up being a lot more. I had no idea about Pandora hosting her own recap show, or her being on the ricky lake show in 1997 with darrienne lake. So I'm happy with how it turned out..

This video changed the way I see Pandora Boxx
yes god
This comment changed the way I saw the video that changed the way I see Pandora Boxx
This reply changed the way I saw the video that the original commentator of this thread is referencing when he says “this video changed the way I see Pandora Boxx”
@@GreenGayYT this reply changed the way i saw the first reply talking about how the video changed the way they see pandora boxx
This reply to the reply to the video changed the way that I read the reply to the reply to the video.
All-stars 1 basically shot pandora in the leg, shit in her wig, went through her purse and stole her kidney. Even worse, it paired her with Mimi
This mf comment 😭🙏
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate the time and effort put into this. I also want to thank everyone who sent me a "tip" ❤ That was extremely sweet and lovely. I'm working on a new one-person show and I think I should talk about some of these stories in it for the full truth 😉 Sending lots of love to everyone ❤
xo
Pandy
Lots of love for you Pandora, you're an OG ❤
@@RedDrowned ❤
when I watched AS6 I was routing for you cuz you reminded me of me from another generation, your a massive inspiration on my art ❤
@@rhodespriv2939 ❤️❤️❤️
I remember years ago when I commented on one of your videos and you took the time to comment back to me! I’ll always be a fan ❤
I wouldve never guessed in a million years that Pandora Boxx was voted second place out of all 4 seasons... goes to show how AS1 really destroyed her momentum in the fanbase
Pandora was number second in the voting...i could believe it
she’s an amazing No. 02 eh?
She is a queen that's extremely good. But they really screwed her over. Her popularity in the early seasons was wild.
@@ohandthefracking the way i read this with raven's voice
I watched season 2 first and she was my favorite aside from Jujubee so I was just excited whenever I saw her in something after
This intro is a masterpiece. Pandora being classic Pandora, classical piano playing in the background. The transition to the "fighting for gay rights"
Facts
Oscar-level intro.
Season 2 of drag race was the first season I watched and Pandora was the first queen I rooted for. Still have a soft spot for her, she’s iconic!
She stole my heart when I saw her dressed like the Tardis ❤
Her, Raven, Juju, Tati… literally the season that shoved my favorites in my face and I ate it up from day one. 😭
Me too!
I swear the rosceo's party was so godamn sad genuinely felt so bad for her.
Yeah but I thought Sylkie and Rajah loved her?
@erikm8372 they did, but hearing her talk about the show and debt, etc. Made me feel a lot of sorrow for her because she was a fan favorite on her orig. Season and I genuinely think she deserves so much more than she gets
She ABSOLUTELY deserves more than she gets. She's one of the best comedy queens to have ever graced the stage of RPDR. And the show never truly made use of her talents. Especially on all stars 6... I think her, Scarlet and Jan fell victim of a very large cast and producers having to prioritize queens.
@hennyballector8690VERY that. I get being in your feelings but the public pity party was very uncomfortable
@@Dark_Aeon They wasted a big chunk of a great cast that season.
Pandora is the prototype for Katya. Without her, Kayta wouldn't have had a space carved out well enough to have fit in during her season. They have the same sense of humor, that which Ru doesn't really love but fans do.
Woah this is so accurate
So basically Pandora Boxx invented Katya?
Mama, their humor isn’t even the same, stop reaching mawma
yea I find their humor very different. I like Pandora but IMO there is nothing Katya-like about her humor at all. @@bananagirl006
Ru loves Katya’s sense of humor what are you on about
🤨
Thank you for making these videos about under-appreciated queens. They truly help people see queens that have been short-sighted by the show and fan base be seen in a different light by the viewers, and that's helping the queens so much.
I think you might mean short-changed?
I don't understand viewers that don't go back to watch the old seasons. When I started watching RPDR, I started with US1, thinking that this was the only rational way to get into a new series - to start at the beginning. I began watching Drag Race in 2019, a whole decade after the first season aired, and still went straight to S1E1, falling head over heels for Nina Flowers. The franchise was still in its toddler shoes and a lot of things about the production were yet so raw and rudimentary, but especially that holds such a huge charm to me even to this day. It was all so pure! Please watch the old seasons, you're seriously missing out on huge amounts of gold.
Same, i started watching it around 2022 and began with season 1!
I understand maybe starting with whatever season is currently airing, but id also suggest going back to older seasons
Availability...Google early series and you're unlikely to ever bring you fruitful viewing results
@@curiositypiqued6573 That certainly is a reason. I remember how sad I was when I wanted to watch RPDR on Netflix, as I usually did back in the day, and they had suddenly removed all seasons prior to I think 11. However, aside from paying WOW+ a ton of money, which I’ve done as well, I’ve found other ways to watch Drag Race all over the internet by - you’ve mentioned it - a Google search actually. Seasons that are rather “niche“ like Belgium for example aren’t that easy to find and watch, but regarding the main US seasons… if there’s a will, there is a way! And even with WOW+ restricting certain countries from watching a certain series, if you’re willing to not only pay for the subscription itself but for the “extra“ content as well, there’s still VPN‘s that work around the region lock. That’s in fact another paywall, yes, but as I’ve quietly mentioned, if you really want to see Drag Race US season 1 without paying a penny, then that is indeed very possible.
@@curiositypiqued6573every season is on paramount plus.. and one google search will tell you that
Pandora in S2 delivered an ICONIC snatch game ⭐️ so iconic that every time I go for groceries and I see raspberries I immediately pronounce the word the way she did ❤✨✨
That’s cute ! 🤗
While I understand because I love pandora but, that is just how Carol Channing said it lol ❤
@@MISFITaddict I know 😇 and that’s what makes Pandora’s performance so iconic!
You know what’s funny about that, in that scene the script said that Carol Channing’s character blows raspberries at them, but she’d never heard of that and misunderstood, giving us one of the most iconic accidental movie moments of all time
@@JC-yy8iv truly a memorable one!
it's always felt so unfair that older queens or queens that are more theatrical etc rather than fashion have been expected to change so drastically over time. You should always keep trying to improve what you do but i hate seeing these queens be pushed down avenues that they clearly aren't that strong in. I love watching a queen do what they do best and thats why there is room for all types of drag. No one gets on the fashion queen's asses to all of a sudden be live singers or incredible actors and i think the same should be held for queens like Pandora who excells in SO many places.
Who are these older/theatrical queens you're talking about? Part of the entertainment of Drag Race is to watch queens be pushed out of their comfort zone. Also, name these "so many places" where Pandora excels. I can only think of two: acting and impersonating Carol Channing.
If any of you are lucky enough to live near her hometown or have seen her live and had the chance to meet her then you already know, but for those who aren’t/haven’t, she’s also SUCH A SWEET, KIND PERSON.
She has a great bussy
I live in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania and her hometown is the next town away just like 10 minutes. She performed at Jamestown Pride just a couple of years ago.
Some people have said she is rude🤷🏿♂️so who do I believe🤷🏿♂️every time I see her on TV she has this same woe is me and a little get away from me attitude so I dunno who to believe
I have met Pandora in person both in and out of drag, she's very sweet and relatable, definitely matched my own awkward energy. Love her.
@@redduskironsky1058 RPDR fans are like half normal and half anti-social psychopaths so you gotta take it with a grain of salt
I wish Pandora had more appreciation in the Rpdr community. I loved her in her original season (I’m “old”), and in the early ‘10s I met her at a show lineup I performed in in Phoenix. She cracked me up and was such a lovely person. Thank you for this documentary on her, she definitely is talented and I guess it just didn’t translate in the show. :-/
I completely understood Pandora’s reactions during AS1.
"Why do you think THE UNIVERSE put you together"! What the ever loving f! She knows who did that to her, and it wasn't The Universe. It was Ru herself and the producers. That, to me, was one of the nastiest things done to her. It was rubbing her nose in it in front of everyone after treating her badly. The Scientology/New Age ideology the show shoves down the contestants' throats sometimes really pisses me off. No, no one ENTIRELY creates their own reality. At best, we can have some influence sometimes. Pandora didn't pair herself with Mimi, and Pandora didn't make the horrible choice to make the queens compete in teams in the first place. Nor was it The Universe. That was all World of Wonder.
@@Cat_Woods You’re right about that
I will always love Pandora, Kasha, and Darien because they're my Rochester queens and are a part of the iconic OG's.
Wow I use to drive up to Rochester from Syracuse when I went to SU and remember seeing Pandora and Darienne all the time. Plus who can for get Aggie Dune. What a Upstate NY icon. We use to call her Haggy Goon put it was all in fun and back then in the early 80’s thru the mid ‘90’s no one was so mean and dishy. I love Pandora and relate to her struggle with depression. It is not just having a sad day or the blues. It is actually very serious. Pandy so many of us love you and always will. God bless!!
Hoping one day we'll get a Buffalo or Syracuse queen on Drag Race 🙏
@@jamebonez omg I know!! There's so many western and upstate queens who need representation.
yesss roc girls
We need a Buffalo Queen on the show! I live though my RaChaCha girls until then! 😏🫡
I was on that cruise with the roast where Pandora walked off. It wasn’t just that roast. It was a continuous thing throughout the cruise, and by the night it got to that roast, I think it was the final straw for her after days of being the butt of the joke.
I was there too and I remember that the jokes were funny at first but got old pretty quick. Pandora rarely even showed up at the evening parties anymore and when she did she just seemed really detached, it must have been a rough time for her. I remember walking up to her to tell her I really loved the show she did the day before and she seemed so confused and surprised to get a compliment like that, it made my heart hurt. I was sad to not see her on the cruise the next year but I completely understand.
My wife won tickets to a Pandora Boxx show before we met. She would have seen her in 2011-2012, and she said that it was one of the funniest things she had ever seen, and she remains a Pandora Boxx fan to this day.
I've been dying to see you tackle Pandora Boxx.
She is the original fan favorite. She's actually great drag and people need to appreciate her intelligence and polished nature. She knows her strengths and plays into it. And she's had so many great quotes that I still use.
Her vulnerability is so relatable to me.
Even when she's down on herself, I related.
She's someone that I greatly admire. And I wish All Stars 1 and 6 would've done her more justice.
She inspires my drag king performance style to an extent. Which I am grateful that she was fierce without having to do a lot of the tricks.
I'm excited to see her perform again this weekend.
Her flowers are SEVERELY overdue.
I thought Pandora should have won season 2. She was snubbed for victories on like 3 challenges. She made all her own garments, she was pretty polished, she wrote and delivered jokes, sang, danced, talked sincerely and eloquently about mental health issues and gave great talking heads.
As a successful campy, comedy queen, she made the most sense as a next winner after Bebe.
And she had the best makeover of the episode too
😂 I like Pandora, a lot. Objectively Tyra ate them other girls. She really didn’t give the other girls a chance.
I love Pandora but this has gotta be a joke. 😂😂
Pandora deserved at least two wins and confront Tyra at the finals, Even Jessica was treated bad...
@@robertoquintero5200 pray tell which challenges? Snatch Game? Nah Tati won that. Confront Tyra? How so, she didn’t get bold about Tyra until years later on a Podcast when it was popular. She could never beat Tyra in fashion or a LipSync…
When it comes to Kathy Griffin, there's a lot to her story but here's a short version - she used to be a major comedian following in the steps of Joan Rivers, with similar material, fanbase, and scope of interests. She had a reality show which was hugely successful and influential for reality TV at the time (and won two Emmys), a short-lived talk show, and had the world record for most stand up specials. She was also a huge icon in the gay community, not just for her comedy, but also as a campaigner for marriage equality and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. She was even friends with Cher! In the 00s gay world, Kathy was kind of a superstar. So how did someone this big and iconic just disappear?
Well, it's a mix of things. Unfortunately, her style of comedy is rather unpopular with the younger queer crowd, which has seen a puritanical shift since the 2010s, and she hasn't been able to adapt her comedy to newer trends. But what really buried her career was that in 2017, she made an unfortunate comedy photoshoot featuring a mask of Donald Trump's head, which got her investigated by the US Secret Service, got put on the no fly list, which for a performer is career-crippling, and she had trouble getting jobs in the US. Due to the controversy, most of her showbiz friends dropped her, and so did a lot of her fans. To top all of that off, she got lung cancer, which she has now beaten, but it affected her speech.
But, she seems to be on a career & health recovery tour now and hopefully she will be able to be recognized as the controversial yet legendary gay icon she is. I highly recommend watching her episode on The Bald and the Beautiful to hear some of these stories directly from her & Trixie.
I hated the Trump head thing because I’m sure it was the photographer’s idea, but she suffered all the consequences.
Yeah, it's advisable to go and watch The Bald and the Beautiful if you are interested in how Kathy is now. She is doing fine. Maybe it's not important to try to be funny and interesting to the young puritanical queer audience. Slightly older gays like me still love her comedy.
Pandora has been one of my favorite queens of all time since I've known rpdr and she deserves so much more then she gets.
Pandora's box also contained hope!
Yep! It was the only thing left inside after all the evils had been released, quite a nice detail
Pandora and Jujubee were my first favorite drag queens ever. I was just a teenager when season 2 aired and I instantly fell in love with both of them. I was SO SAD to see how dirty she was done on both All Stars seasons. She deserves the world because she’s just so hilarious and kind.
yeah I didn't know why Pandora was so down on herself in AS6, her talent show was great, she looked fabulous in it (the talent show) then her entrance look was fantastic and so old school hollywood and glam. I think it's hard for the older queens b/c now Drag is such an athletic pursuit and everyone is weaponizing their BFAs and MFAs.
A lot of internalized ageism / insecurity … it’s sad but basically she let her inner saboteur win
Pandora was always one my faves from the early days. Her shows were funny, self-deprecating and entertaining. Still would go to a Pandy show when she’s in town
Thank you so much for doing this, she's been one of my faves since I saw her for the first time in S2. And since then, she's been done dirty completely and edited to make her look horrid and insignificant. She's amazing and deserves the recognition for it. Hopefully a lot of the new fans see this and understand her a bit more.
That Pandora WOW recap show that got cancelled could be found if you forward that information into the lost media community. They have been on a roll the last couple years getting lost media found so it would be worth a shot to get it found, regardless of whether or not it's good it's still apart of the Drag Race lexicon.
I'm sorry, lost media community??
@@2DRescuegoogle lol
i’ve been a big pandora fan since season 2. i felt so bad for her on all stars 1. as soon as she was paired with mimi there was no way she was making it past episode one. production was never letting mimi stay over any of the other queens. so i never blamed her for just giving up. she didn’t stand a chance. was so happy to see her come back on all stars 6. she went from the campy underdog to the drunk aunt at the family reunion and i love her even more for it!
Ive always had a soft spot for Pandora. She always seemed misunderstood and like she was trying so hard and always got the short end
I lived in West Hollywood for years, and I will never forgot the night that I spent with Pandora out of drag. I absolutely adore her.
I've worked with Pandora before, she is absolutely lovely to be around and is great at what she does.
I miss Pandora's recaps so much. I was so upset when they stopped
Yes!!!!
I have to admit I have always been a sucker for "underdogs" and the alternatives as a fellow freak, and Pandora has always been a fav for me even after how she acted with Mimi.
Pandora has always been and always will be on of my favourite queens. AS1 was so sad (especially since she didn't really DO anything, she was just completely edited out other than her being stuck with Mimi. And even then she actively helped Mimi which was shown both on the show and from the Queens talking after) and I was really hoping AS6 would be a redemption for her, but she was again almost completely edited out except when she did just okay or poorly and it's like... why would you take such an amazing queen and do that to her twice?
When I started watching Drag Race I had heard of three of the queens: Sharon, Trixie, and Pandora Boxx. Not even sure why that was the case, but I am here for any instance in which flowers are being given to Ms. Boxx. She deserves.
drag race has really paid her dust for the star that she is
I think it’s a pretty even playing field for anyone who gets on the show, and you make what you make of it. She was pathetic and unfunny and it’s unfortunate but only has herself to blame.
If I'm not mistaken, Pandora was the first queen to make a "catchphrase" by entering the workroom shouting "Hello, fake ladies." I love her since the very beggining =S
I will forever remember Pandora cus of her confessional speech about depression, felt so sorry for her on both allstars, the producers were disrespectful to her. Thanks for doing this video. Pandora deserves the world!
Loving the love for Pandora. You really did her justice with this. I loved her when season 2 came out and still do! She was my first favorite ru girl!
Saw pandora at BOTS in Madrid … at the meet and greet she was THE coolest and sweetest !! After I’d taken my pics she even helped me get a drink ! She gave me her time so generously . She made my night 😊
Pandora was the FIRST COMEDY QUEEN on RPDR!!!
I love that this video changed my views of Pandora Boxx AND Paula Abdul. That tangent was something I didn't know I needed to know
Yasss my downer queen! I still GAG at the way Bob and Thorgy spoke about her in All Stars 6 😔😂
Honestly she's one of the kindest and best queens this show has ever had.
I love Pandora. Shes been my favorite since her season aired. Theres an angel about her. Love you, Pandi! ❤
I’m home sick from work today so thank you for keeping me entertained
I'm eating lunch in a library on my school break haha
I’m eating my lunch at work 😂
I’m having breakfast for dinner 😅
Pandora is such a great live performer and so kind in person! I wish her the absolute best! Thanks for the laughs Pandora!😁♥️
Girl, I love your content. I’d love to see you do a deep dive into Miss Fame, I think since her season she is kind off forgotten. It would be nice to see her timeline in one of your videos! Keep up the good work ❤
Pandora will always be THE STANDARD of the snatch game. THE ONE to live up to forever more👑❣️
Finally a video on this underrated icon!
Finally!!! I've been waiting for a video on Pandora
I always had a soft spot for Pandora. I watched season two as it aired and she was my favorite ❤
Pandora was the first queen I've seen on UA-cam and I've been a fan ever since.
She definitely deserved much better that what she got from AS 6
I love Pandora. She seem like a super sweet queen. such a icon.
Shes amazing
I hope Pandora sees this video so she can see how much she's loved!
Okay I couldn’t contain my laughter seeing Farrah Moan in the s2 cast reveal pic! I see you GreenGay!!!
I distinctly remember Pandora being a fan fav during the airing of the second season. I remember because I was one of the people that didn’t agree. But as I got older, I definitely appreciated her more. And I was rooting for her during all stars 6.
Shangla's Allstars 3 was her 3rd season. She was the 1st queen to be on 3 separate seasons. Pandoras 3rd season wasn't until all stars 6
Pandora deserves her flowers. I wish my flowers were good enough to show Pandora she is the greatest campiest funniest queen who, since season 2, has changed how I say “lemons and limes”
Pandora is one of my favorite queens ever!! So underrated!!
I love pandora, i really do ❤
I wish her nothing but the best
this video came just in time, i was talking about how much underrated and how much i love her with my friend a couple of days ago
Thank u so much for featuring a video all about Pandora, because I've always loved her and I feel that queens like her and Nina Bo Nina Brown, are extremely important queens, due to them both using their famous public platforms to discuss mental illness which has made fans like myself, not feel so alone. Also, Pandora, Darienne, and Mrs Kasha Davis, all come from my city! Again, thank u!!!
Thank you for often including links to tip!
I LOVE Pandora!!!!!! I met her once out of drag outside a club in so cal and she was so sweet to me and my drunk friends. Still have yet to get to see her live though!
Pandora Boxx will always be among my top 3 favorite queens of the entire franchise, which I watched since S1.
I'll never forget when I saw her perform White Rabbit in L.A. during Halloween... it was one of the best drag performances I've ever witnessed.
A true legend!
I'll never forget Carol Channing's (I'm sorry, Cheryl Canning) birthday because of Pandora Boxx. Rrrrrrrrraaaasberies!
Pandora is definitely an interesting one as someone who has been watching since season 1! She was absolutely my favorite in season 2, one of the first fan favorite type queens. Going into AS1 she was my favorite and then...AS1 happened and absolutely tanked her. It was really disappointing to see a fun bubbly queen come out looking so bitter. I'm glad she got a come back, she's definitely got all the talent! AS1 was really a disaster for everyone.
It was so weird for them to have Kingsley host the Pit Stop.
Thank you for this, I've been a RPDR fan since S1 and I've always had a soft spot for Pandora, she was the first queen i really rooted hard for and seeing her on AS1 I really felt for her. It's easy to forget that these queens are human
I agree with Pandora on her AS6 edit. I noticed it by episode 3 that she was not being featured enough. I want her on my screen again.
Pandora is amazing! Love her !!
“…. Nobody was killed” kills me everyyy time🥴
That picture of Trixie with Brown hair is cursed. Hahaha
It’s crazy cause in my head she’s always been a fan fav. Season 2 was my first season as a kid so maybe that’s why but like she’s amazing
Kathy Griffin was a guest judge in 2015, avoided the spotlight for a bit starting in 2017, then she got cancer in 2021. Hopefully she’ll be back as an extra special guest judge in an upcoming season.
How many Dawls did AS1 screw directly over? At LEAST 4. Willam, Pandy, Mimi (I guess), and all of them to a degree! Acceptance and Mimi don’t go together!
She defo set the bar for snatch game for me i love a character snatch game fully emersed pandora jinx bendala and baga
I love Pandora
Jeez I must be old because I remember Pandora's recap show it used to be on the logo app then on the VH1 app briefly back in 2015 but since that was 8 years ago and the camera and show quality has improved I know why they removed it. Can't justify them deleting the first season though because I have a hard time finding it online.
You finding this version of the pit stop is fascinating! I remembered her being the first host of the pit stop and then could never find it again years later.
I've always loved Pandora but honestly it always felt like she did not belong on Drag Race.
Pandora's one of my all time faves from the show. Always hate the way production mistreat her in every season she's in.
Been a fucking stan since season 2! I meet her at Rage (RIP) back in the day and she was so lovely and charming!
i really love pandora her drag is amazing
Pandy is the OG fan favorite and I would personally love to see her on Drag Race again in the future
I remember when Pandora posted about how WoW no longer wanted her to do the recaps. She was angry and devastated, as they basically waited till right before the season was going to start to tell her. It was fucked up and very on brand for production.
I started drag race from the start during Covid and fell in love with with pandora boxx and was so upset that she was scammed on all stars 1 but the fact it took so long for her return it felt very lack luster. It’s like if they brought shangala back in season 7 instead of 3.
07:28 what's farrah doing there lmao
i loved pandora on season 2, then when they paired her with mimi on all stars i was as dissapointed and sad as she was ! i really wanted to see more of her ! i was so happy when she returned to all stars 6
I just hope she gets/is getting mental health treatment because her depressions and sadness are really holding her back from her own potential. I just feel bad for her.
pandora boxx is underrated af
As a recent fan of the show, I knew who Pandora was before I knew a lot of the famous queens. For some reason, her name was in my head before I started watching the show. She’s one of my favorite queens, although I haven’t seen AS6 yet so hopefully I still love her afterwards (I still love Milk after AS3 so it can’t be worse than that).
I’ve always loved Pandora!
Pandora is actually the first professional drag queen I ever saw live. I was a lil baby gay in college and saw her at a queer college conference hosting the evening dance party/drag show. I didn't watch drag race until years later but had adored Pandora as that shows host. Helped me on my journey of loving all things drag
Just when I thought I'd be missing my favorite intro of any RPDR channel... TY 🙌
Bob won her season all on her own… BUT… I think part of Pandora’s legacy is that by introducing Carol Channing to the show, she made the space for Bob to execute doing 2 characters for Snatch Game.
Pandora has consistently been overlooked so hard that it hurts to see the edit she got there. She got got.
