In this episode, we dive deep into the iconic documentary Paris Is Burning, exploring its legacy in drag culture, ballroom history, and how terms like "shade" and "voguing" shaped today’s queer lexicon. We also spill the tea on RuPaul’s Drag Race standouts, debate underrated queens, and share our weekly fiery music recs. 

Tune in for laughs, resilience, and a fierce celebration of LGBTQ+ community, pop culture, and survival. 🔥👑 #DragRace #ParisIsBurning #QueerCulture
