For the season 2 premiere of The It Girl Podcast, Britney Shields @itsbritneyshields sits down with West Hollywood comedy queen and nightlife icon Annie Biotixx  ⁨@anniebiotixx⁩   unpack the glitter, grief, and grind of being a drag artist in 2025.

We  celebrate Annie's two year anniversary of hosting her weekly drag show “Free Clinic” in West Hollywood, proving that the real gag is endurance.
Britney and Annie also reflect on how they first met through The Groundlings, trauma-bonding over one disastrous class that somehow lead to whatever the hell you’re listening to. 

From there we get into the culture of it all starting with the album that is diving the internet "The Life of a Showgirl."

Then things get real:
💄 The state of drag and the economy of Los Angeles — how artists are surviving in a city where glamour costs more than rent
⚖️ Doing drag in the rise of fascism — what it means to keep creating joy and community when the world feels unhinged
🤖 Tilly Norwood and the growing threat of AI to creative industries
🎤 The Britneyssance — a wave of new pop girlies channeling the spirit of the Princess of Pop herself
🎶 And a very important shoutout to Michelle Branch, because justice for “Everywhere” is forever

It’s wigs, wisdom, and world events — a perfect blend of camp and consciousness with two showgirls refusing to let the curtain fall.
