Hi, this is LGBTQ&A. I'm Jeffrey Masters, and this is an interview that I did with Trixie

Mattel from about a year ago. I wanted to rerun it after she won Rupal's Drag Race All-Stars

last week because I think it is such a thoughtful and interesting discussion about her drag.

The character, the makeup, how she developed it, and then also just her work ethic and

business sense that allowed her career to really explode after she was on the show the

first time.

You'll also hear us discuss women who do drag, which has been in the news a lot lately, and

then also how doing drag has

changed Trixie's relationship to his own masculinity. So that's coming up. If you like the

interview, please subscribe to the podcast. You can do that on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play,

wherever you prefer. Although, if I may ask, would you please take 30 seconds to rank

us five stars and leave a comment on iTunes? It's one of the biggest ways you can help our show grow.

And if you do do that, please tweet at me and let me know. I'm on Twitter at Jeff Masters 1,

and I would love to say thank you. And then lastly, don't forget to check out our old

home on AfterVise TV. They are the number one place for all your TV after show discussions.

All right, without further ado, here's Trixie Mattel.

You know, when I told people's interviewing you, people have very, very nice things to say about you.

Well, you'd be amazed in our industry.

If you show up on time and you're nice, people think you've, like, walked on water.

Oh my God, so far, so good.

They're like, you were, you showed up on time and you were nice because so many drag queens are late and rude, etc.

I mean, I would not have told you had they not said that.
