    Why is this not blowing up more???! Seriously, people need to share this channel. Jaymes should have far more than 25K subscribers. The Drag Herstory series alone is reason enough! Wonderful!!

      It's sad. This generation of the LGBTQ+ needs to know our Herstory.

    literally my favorite series on youtube. I love learning about our history and though i already knew alot about the ballroom scene. i always light up hearing about it or watcing it. literally made my day jaymes. you are a gift to us all!!!!

      Kristopher-Damien White I think Miss Jaymes should get more recognition for teaching the new generation of the legendary children....I'm female and a hag and it saddens me that many LGBT folks in their early THIRTIES does not know more than 1% of her story. I remember even turning on my male gay friends onto John Waters, beginning with "Female Trouble". I'm amazed and proud of how much knowledge I have about the culture of my adopted "family".

    This series is wonderful and I thank you so much for doing it. I think it's really important (especially) for younger fans to know about the history of drag and you're helping the ones (like me) that don't have enough time to make all the research themselves find a point to start at. Also, you're a joy to watch! Thank you

    oh shit there's only three comments
    LOVE YOU JAYMES
    i was wondering if maybe.. you could do a video showcasing some of the looks you would have worn/created if you were still on the show?
    (i mostly just want to see what your Madonna look would have been)

    • @cambojoe
      @cambojoe 7 років тому +3

      Not to worry. Jaymes uploads her videos quite late (about 11 p.m. Milwaukee time). Don't know when she sleeps! (Or how she keeps her skin looking so good...)

    • @JaymesMansfield
      @JaymesMansfield  7 років тому +41

      TheMotherConfesser if you watch Drag HerStory ep 8 you'll see one of my Madonna costumes. It was Breathless Mahoney when she sings More, I had four Madonna looks incase of mixup

    I really began crying when you mentioned the Haus of Xtravaganza! I have to much respect for the legendary children and for the ballroom scene. Thank you, Jaymes, for educating us on the Herstory that we should all learn! ❤️

    I'd love it if you'd do a video highlighting Nelson Sullivan. I feel like not enough of the younger gays know about this very important documentarian. He's mentioned when the club kid scene is brought up, but not highlighted as someone of importance in the era.

    As someone who is obsessed with the ballroom scene, I loved the herstory behind it. I feel many entertainers don't know where drag started, and this is a beautiful lesson to introduce the kittens to the start of drag!! Thank you Jaymes, Love you.

    Ok so i knew when you were on drag race that you might have some knowledge but this great. You’re excellent and i appreciate this more than you know! I wish your make up was this on point and teaching this legacy of herstory to the younger ones is amazing. I’m not even that old 27 and it’s like damn so many people in their 20s and younger don’t know those that tread the path before!

    Thank you so much for the herstory, Miss Mansfield, it's so important what you are doing! I was wondering (maybe you have??) as an actress myself ( i worked with alexis arquette in "down and out in bev hills") i'm curious if you've talked about the amazing herstory of Elizabethan drag queens, who performed on stage when women couldn't? Their whole culture was so fascinating, all of the really specific and expected movements and poses they had to learn, and how their community was totally shaken when it became legal for women to do women's parts. Love u! ps the eyebrows rock

      This small queen has already been inspired to do an "Idol Worship" prefaced movie night at their local library. I just need to get the OK from Miss Jaymes to use her videos as an intro to the movies. But don't you worry, I will get permission and give all the credit where it is certainly due.
