When I began making research for this video, I was actually surprised by just how much about Lady Bunny's life I didn't know about. I gained a lot of new found respect for her, after seeing the struggles she faced back when the community wasn't as publicly accepted as it is now. It's also a good wake-up call for us to be a lot more together than we are right now.

Hi, I’m commenting because I believe everyone deserves to be educated on the ingredients and side effects of this product. ColonBroom is a bulk-forming fiber laxative (psyllium husk, aka Metamucil) combined with a stimulant laxative (senna leaf, aka Senokot, Smooth Move etc). Taking a stimulant laxative like senna too often or for too long can cause laxative dependence, potentially making one unable to have a bowel movement without it. It was unfortunate to see the claim of “lose weight” on ColonBroom’s ad, because it simply isn’t true- unless in reference to the weight of the stool lost during a bowel movement. Please use caution with this product.

The first clip you used of Lady Bunny is from Evolution Wonderlounge in Edmonton, AB, Canada! My home bar
Lady Bunny saying she wants her remains scattered around disneyland but doesn't want to be cremated makes Bianca Del Rio look tame 😂 Two of the all time greats
Omg lmao
omg that's hilarious
Don't compare Bianca to Bunny lol
@@insanebrobot9853don’t compare lady bunny to Bianca *
That's what I meant lol
People should realise that Drag Race isn't an exact representation of the world of drag. Drag Race is a game and reality tv, not real life.
and that drag culture is not depicted properly on drag race. it's the sanitized version.
Drag is and has been used by drag artists to shock audiences intentionally since its rise in popularity. Some people take it too far (like she who will not be named from season four), while others like Bunny actually understand what shock humor and dark comedy are and use them effectively
yeah, most people's only refence of what drag is is like- rupaul, and some of the most famous Ru girls. and even big fans of the show see drag as mostly the archetypes we are presented with: The comedy queen, the pagent queen, the fashion queen, the quirky queen, the fushy queen, and so-on.
If the people that think that the reads of any drag race franchise are too dark and not ok
They would die if they watch a real club roast like the Sherry Vine one😅
Some people take it too far (like those who decide to WWE wrestle their fellow queens during a lipsync)
fun fact: lady bunny was actually the first brick thrown at stonewall! that was fighting for gay rights, and people were killed 💔
... by Lady Bunny
@@uyuyuyuyan...nobody died?
Nobody was killed at stonewall... said with a pointed tone
nobody was killed..?
Lady Bunny was about 7 years old when Stonewall happened sooo...
as much as i adore drag race, i completely agree with lady bunny when she criticizes the image that the show has painted for drag queens. The aggressively gendered aesthetic of the earlier seasons, with anything less than glamorous and feminine being shot down, has largely informed a wider audience as to what a queen should look like. When in reality drag has always been about self expression and challenging societal norms, however you choose to do so
i'm glad that they're starting to become more open minded, but there's still a lot that is pretty unknown to a lot of fans. The younger queer community needs to learn their history, as well as remember that we are all in the fight for acceptance together
Honestly hate that all roads always lead to blaming Drag Race and RuPaul. They've done so many challenges highlighting queer history and referencing the queer canon, all for fans to criticize Ru for making dated references, saying she doesn't do enough, saying she is too old and doesn't understand modern things, all this speculation about who should replace her, etc. Ru did her job and made it possible for queens to make performing a career, something that was only possible for very few before the show. Maybe some others need to make the change as well instead of just blaming the black man for not doing it exactly right.
@@1bwash lol no? Its called being critical of the media you consume. All i'm saying is that there are faults with drag race that have informed a lot of outsiders of the world drag. No one is denying the good, but you cant consume a piece of media like its too precious to be criticized. Thats a very unhealthy mentality
@@wilderulz what a bad faith reply. I said nothing close to you cannot criticize media you consume. Your inability to respond to what was actually said is what’s unhealthy here.
@@1bwash except thats the entire point of your comment? stop picking on poor drag race and ru paul? even though its the most popular medium currently that features drag as a focal point. I think its more of a "bad faith reply" to go off on how people pick on drag race and ru paul under a comment trying to outline some honest critisism of the series
@@wilderulz If you don't understand then go back and reread for comprehension. Yes, it is absolutely valid to point out how giddy the fandom gets whenever they have an excuse, legitimate or not, to attack RuPaul. I directly addressed all your criticisms point by point and you replied with "oh so now no one can criticize media? wow!!" You're full of it.
Lady Bunny was a caregiver and friend to all of us Club Kids back in the day. I will always love her for the way she kept us safe in alphabet City when people were driving into town beat our asses and sometimes kill us. There was no subway downtown and taxis didn't go past 14th after certain hours. Bunny was in dolls in Thompson Sq. Park, all the queens helped each other. It was hard back then. We were kicked out young.
It's too bad she's like crazy racist and follows and likes the most insane racist boomer alt-right twitter accounts but no one seems to call her out on it.
Us young queers need to get our history straight. I am in awe of all of you.
Oh honey, Bunny was there when Pythagoras invented lines. She crossed it, she snorted it, she’s done it all
PLEASE THIS LINE NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED
I would LOVE a season of experienced queens who have paved the way. I honestly think it wound be one of the most entertaining seasons we’ve had. A season full of queens like Tamisha who have paved the way, and aren’t afraid to speak their minds would really shift the narrative of the show.
I would also love that. It’d be amazing if th eye had like a legacy drag season.
Maybe not even a traditional competition, but just a tribute to the queens. More like all winners. Even then, it'd feel weird having these legends being in front of a panel of judges, when they could very well be ON the panel. I'd rather a season where they can tell their stories, show their art, and just collaborate together
yes! This would be so good
imagine how good the untucked would be
Lady bunny, peaches, Jackie Beat, Sherry Vine, The Boulet Brothers and EVEN RU could compete with them 🤣🤣🤣
4:30 Trixie has since confirmed it was a Lady Bunny tribute. Apparently RuPaul said “Is this lady bunny inspired?” Trixie said “Yes.” And Ru said “Why?”
The fact that ColonBroom is the sponsor would make Bunny proud. She's so smart and has so much time for fans. And you can get away with being that rotted when you have sucha good heart
Truly, I bet lady bunny has a healthy Collon & brags about it too 🥰
@@GreenGayYTwho’s Collon? Is he a nice man?
@@TheWholeEntireCake it’s Bunny’s government name. Colon Fisher
Well said. That's why all the best comedians with "dark humor" are actually really sweet people. You need to be intelligent and kind to know how to be edgy. Otherwise it just comes off as evil and rude for no reason. People can tell the difference.
The last line lady bunny crossed was on a table back in the 80s 😂
I didn't know who Nelson Sullivan was, but hearing that he passed away long before Ru even made it big in 1993 is such a shame! Thank you greengay for platforming his story here :*(
That's why we should pay more respects to the older gays
He was literally beyond ahead of his time. It’s an incredible look at the times, NYC and the culture. Cannot recommend his videos enough.
His tapes are all archived on CZcams. You just need to look up the Nelson Sullivan archive. There are dozens of the tapes that he made, including many featuring RuPaul.
she used to be a fashion police commentator for star magazine and her one-liners for that were 10/10
That’s how I was introduced to her
Bunny doest need Drag Race but i definitely think the younger gays need Bunny. She is a poster for gay history which so many of the Gen Z gays are just kinda forgetting
That's why I feel so lucky to be raised by older gays, those born only a few years after Stonewall.
I'm quite new to the community (about 5 years ago, I'm in my early 20s) and obviously my first introduction to it was drag race, and while I'm happy that it helped me understand, I want to know more and videos like this are really helpful. Do you have any recommendations about what/who else can I search about to learn more? Sorry for the long ass comment and possible bad english
Bun Bun actually coined the term "Drag Race" in the mid 90s. She's spoken openly about it many times when the yearly festival Wigstock was starting to slow down.
I thought it was Jackie Beat. Ru stole the show concept from her with no compensation
I'd love to see Bianca and Lady Bunny do something together on Drag Race. Judging a stand up/roast or coming on to advise the queens, a cameo, something. The two have a great friendship and play off each other so well, and seeing them alongside Ru would be a treat
they’ve done a stand up routine together before
"[Sneaking in to gay bars to watch drag queens underage] is a common theme for most drag queens"
*Me at 16 sneaking in to see Katya....*
The logic is sound.
Coming for Jimbo because of repulicans in usa is so funny like girl it aint her problem shes canadian
it aint her problem period, regardless where she lives
It's misplacing blame intentionally. Jimbo isn't responsible in any regard for any aspect of the trans genocide. This kind of misplaced blame is a smokescreen to keep people on the defensive while the fascists kill us all through legislation and terrorism.
I feel like it was such a mistake ever airing those conversations about "fishy" and breast plates being offensive. No one is actually offended by the term fish. It's like a white person pretending to be outraged if they're called cracker. The terms just don't hold that weight and they're not actually harming women. But all of a sudden, now we have a horseshoe of fans criticizing queens like Jimbo with the same talking points Republican use.
@@1bwashFishy is most definitely a term that many women find offensive.
@@furby9284I was just happy that my body parts were being used as a compliment for once!
i actually grew up in the east village in the 80's and 90's. wig stock was such a fun beautiful event for me as a child. queerness and drag was just the norm for me and my mother was very encourging. she once told me i saw lady bunny when i was 5 and thought she was a giant barbie lol. when a parent normalizes queer culture, children just accept it. it just becomes fact and part of the world around you. i didnt realize until i was a teenager that people didn't grown up know about drag and trans people and while i knew there as hate i hadn't realized HOW MUCH. it was a magical way to grow up and my dream is for more children to be raised like that.
thank you SO MUCH for talking about nelson. so many younger and newer fans don't know much about him and he is such an important figure in queer history. literally documenting years and years of nyc nightlife. i hope he knows how appreciated he is. also, you should do a video on james st james!
Seeing that old footage of Lady Bunny made me wonder how she wouldve done on Dragrace. I bet she wouldve made us proud and gotten disqualified
fr its giving the original jinx
she would’ve been the original spankie jackzon, 100% pure charisma in the challenges and 100% pure eye vomit on the runways
in the words of jasmine masters, rupaul's drag race has fucked up drag
How many times did you try for the show bu t never get picked?
@@natedorm4136 never tried and don't wanna. You tried tho❤️
@@skoomaaddict256 nope. I'm not a drag performer, I'm not even gay,I'm just a friendly supporter.. it just seems to me you are mad about something..see what I'm trying to say..listen up keep on auditioning..who knows..
@natedorm4136 I didn't say you auditioned babe. It's really funny that you're calling me mad cos I quoted another queen, when you're literally here going off at me. The straights are fucking wild.
@kirstyscott4299 do you want me to stay in my lane and not commenting? Do you want me to stop supporting your kind? Once again, I'm an allied. I support you people 100%. Don't get mad at me.
"The only time lady bunny was on the main series was to celebrate her own funeral" idk why I laughed so hard, but then again I haven't watch All Stars 4, is it worth it?
Yes it is
One of the best except for the ending!
@@woodhoney3490”Except for the ending” oop 🤣
I thought Bunny didn’t ever wanna be on the main show because she didn’t agree with the showcasing of drama and that’s why she agreed to do Drag U because it was more a mentorship. Btw always love your content 💜
Totally agree with Bunny's outlook on the community and how we treat each other
Lady Bunny is a reminder that drag is fun, provocative, humorous, ADULT and just a good time. Majority of Queens (new ones) and the fans, take everything way too seriously
For those interested in Nelson Sullivan’s life and influence on drag race, there is an episode about his life in the This is Love podcast titled “Episode 57: Nelson’s Camara”
Bunny is the truth. Some people think that Drag Race is the be and end all of drag, but there is a wealth of drag, before, now and in the future. Some people are very sensitive about drag humour....and they really shouldn't be.
also, NPH is a cancer on the gay community. Don't support anything his twisted ass does.
green gay ur videos r so important for those younger fans that don't know a lot about the greater world of drag and the greater lives of these queens. i love what you do it's so unique and im so thankful that creators like u exist that cater to my interests in a way i love to engage with!!!!! i hope you have the best day ever!!!
I found Lady Bunny through Us Weekly (or E!) It was the 00’s so it was a long time go. She was part of a three person fashion column where they critiqued celebrities’ outfits. She always made me laugh so seeing her get more attention and respect makes me happy-she is an absolute legend.
i was coming here to say the same thing!
i think that lady bunny has a very good take on drag and one that should be voiced more, and sadly isnt voiced as much by rupaul who came up during the same time. i am an afab drag performer and i grew up watching drag race and drag U and i wanted to do drag for so long, but i never thought it was for me, but as i grew older and learned the history of drag, i learned that it was a space for me as well. i wish there was a season of trans individuals, people who paved the way and even a king on a season or something. thats what upsets me the most is that this show has been going on for so long and why is it that dragula has more representation than rupaul drag race does??? we can recognize the history but also still look to the future.
"One of the older generation queens that still exist in modern times." You make her sound like a coelacanth. LOL
I will never forget that one instagram video of lady bunny calling sharon needles transphobic, valentina ugly and then being racist for no reason, it's so funny and I don't think anybody else could get away with that kind of humor
Drag is not that serious 😅
Lady Bunny DJs a monthly disco party in brooklyn and it’s amazing. I love that bunny doesn’t bite her tongue!
I got the chance to meet Lady Bunny when I was 18 go go dancing at The Dock in Cincinnati. She was a special on New Years Eve if I remember correctly. It was something that I will always remember! She was really sweet and told me I was the cutest thing since sliced bread.😏😝 She truly is a legend!❤️❤️
We definitely need older queens. And big queens. Diversity
Lady Bunny had a good point with the lack of action from the fan base. They’ll start pointless fights online over things such as Jimbo’s XL plates but aren’t organizing together to fight these GOP dominated governments.
Save America vote Republican!🇺🇸
@@cbishop872The day America will be saved is the day people like you leave this land 🤣
Thanks for making this video. As an older dude who lived in Bunny's New York, and attended the very last Wigstock in 2005, I can say without a doubt that she is the real deal. Compared to many of the younger queens who have popped up on DR in recent years... well, there is just no comparison. Bunny IS a LLLLegend. Full of wit/talent, intelligent, provocative, fearless. This is what Drag SHOULD be. What it always was. Peeps of the younger gens, drag is not just all about looking pretty in the mirror, or on TikTok, or wearing fab clothes with 1,000s of stones... though we love that too. Drag is about MAKING A STATEMENT. Saying something to move the conversation forward, and better secure our community so that it is safer and more inclusive.
I really really would looooove a season of older queens. These are the women that paved a way for us and we SHOULD celebrate them!
I've done drag for 30 years almost and I had a lot of thoughts as I was watching this video...
I'd really like to see you do something with a few different people who are from an older era with differing perspectives, places, and histories. I just think you have the personality to make the most of a video like that without missing the value of what could be created as a result of interviewing those people who fill in the then to now gap . I tend to not watch much drag vision drama stuff on utube, however,, you do it justice when addressing topics like this and that takes talent 💛
I have enjoyed watching many of your videos
I am lucky enough to have seen Bunny out of drag in person. It was in Nottingham after a show and she was eating fish and chips in a takeaway opposite the venue. She looks like the man from the Quaker Oats box.
Haaaaaa
We need more people with Lady Bunny’s POV and sense of humor.
I LOVE LADY BUNNY, more drag race fans need to be more aware of her brilliance
Ohh, you mentioned Nelson Sullivan❤ what this man did to archive life in NYC in the 80s, the queer culture, the city, sounds, colors and atmosphere... it's will be for future generations to see. Some of his videos are posted on youtube and I recommend everyone to watch it and feel like you are together with him and his friends, having a walk, a talk, going to party in the 80s. He gave us an unique experience, without knowing it.
Lady Bunny is the most hilarious person I've ever seen. I'd love for Ru and WOW to make a show showcasing the legends like her, Jackie Beat, Varla Jean Merman, Dina Martina, Lypsinka, JImmy James... I don't think any of them would agree to humiliating challenges and I don't blame them but just some sort of showcase or tribute would be amazing. We've already lost so many from that era lets immortalize the ones left on a TV show.
I first learnt of the legend Lady Bunny from the famous Nelson’s Tapes. She is an absolute legend. Long may she reign 👑
I love this! I'd love if you did more videos on non-Drag Race queens. Miss Coco Peru! Jackie Beat! Varla Jean Merman!
I would loooove an older queen season. It would be campy as fuck.
Yaaaas! That would be a hoot ❤😊
I met Lady Bunny many times and she’s pretty awesome. She’s always very real and down to earth!
We need a video about Miss Coco Peru, it's a MUST!!!
I loved learning that I had watched Lady Bunny years ago when I first saw Pickle Surprise and Strawberry Shortcut, the fact that both her and Ru are in such a formative video for my tastes is insane!!! I hope more of those vids they did with Tom Rubnitz surface.
I agree that I'd love to see a season with all older queens with more classic tastes, but I don't think a competition format with the current demands of the challenges would work well with their talents. But god I would love to see those legends show their talents on a larger scale on national TV.
@GreenGay thank you for this... it is beautifully presented. I love the emphasis on the struggle to unite our community and the constant back pedal and hypocrisy of our community to issues that do not help BUILD our community. We really need to look back, remember, and unite
Wigstock was essential watching pre-Drag Race, back then we knew more about Lady Bunny than we did about RuPaul.
What a beautiful deep dive into not only Lady Bunny but the history of the Gay & Drag communities! I loved that you included some of Nelson's videos! I stumbled upon these years ago, and still treasure them to this day! Your video is an inspiration, please keep them coming! Sincerely, thank you.
I love Lady Bunny and her politically incorrect and outrageous humor. I hope there will be more drag artists in the future who will push the boundaries of what can be joked about without being canceled.
I remember going to a John Waters event in Los Angeles. I was sitting outside, waiting with a friend when that unmistakable voice of lady bunny was sitting behind me. It was bunny out of drag you would never guess that was the same person. But that voice is unstable. ❤
I learned about Lady Bunny through the Wigstock documentary years ago. It’s still a great watch. Also love her cameo in Pickle Surprise.
LOVED this profile on Bunny. Her, Joey Arias, Lypsinka, Jackie Beat, and so many more really defined that era of NYC drag. Loved her podcast with Monet, and hope they bring it back. Thank you GreenGay! ❤
AN OLDER CAST WOULD BE EVERYTHING PLEASE
Great video! Lady Bunny is such an icon and a better representation of drag than Rupaul imo. And I'm grateful that you brought up Nelson Sullivan, he seemed like an amazing person! Archival footage should be treasured.
Ru taking the AC when she moved out leaving Bunny without air conditioning made me laugh
Loved the herstory lesson. You're one of my favorite channels.
Love this video! I love when you spotlight these founding queens
Love this episode. Lady Bunny is a true legend! Hope we get more legends like Jackie Beat or Sister Roma videos!
Jackie Beat is very funny and smart!
I knew who Bunny and Jackie Beat were before I knew about RuPaul..they are legends.
Thank you so much for making this tribute to such an icon and teaching the children!!! 🙏❤❤❤
Always get so happy when GreenGay uploads a new video 😍 Love Miss Bunny 💚
Bunny can frequently be seen leaving her West Village town home in full drag running down the stairs of her stoop, and elegantly DIVING into her car head first as not to mess her wig! Lol.. I you know where to look.. a very well kept secret.. if you know you know... and you dare not be the one to tell the secret! Seriously she have your head!
As a mostly hetero-identifying woman I thank the gods for Lady Bunny and all the queens that dared to poke fun and push envelopes full of things to make people squirm and clutch their pearls in shock. People need to stop taking themselves so seriously, it only leads to anger, rage and high blood pressure.
I’ve been lucky enough to see her live and she was amazing! If you get the chance, see her. She’s a living legend
OMG PUMPING OUT VIDEOS FR LOVE U
Working hard 💚💚

This was such a good video, I didn't know all of her history at all, and I felt like I learnt a lot about someone I already admired so much
Honestly I’d say Lady Bunny is more legendary and iconic than RuPaul and deserves more credit.
Nah, they are both legends. Don't go there.

A very good video, we love Bunny!❤
Young Lady Bunny looks like Katya. Holy ish. As long as I have known about her in the early 90s. Nelson's vlogs are everything. He was vlogging way before anyone else and before social media.
Lady Bunny is a national treasure, a living legend. Thanks for giving her the spotlight she deserves. Wigstock Forever!
Bunny is a blessing. She definitely isn't for everybody. Those of us who have been through not harder times but different times definitely appreciate this person. Children pay attention she can teach you some stuff.
I'm sure someone has mentioned it, but Nelson's story was covered by the podcast This is Love (episode 57, Nelson's camera).
Nelson gave me my first glimpse into the life of Christina Superstar! Love Lady Bunny and Thank you Nelson for the footage!
Haven't watched much drag content in a few months. Saw this and remembered you make quality stuff, so I got excited. 💛💛💛
I love Nelson’s brilliant work. He had the foresite to document so much of our history.
Thank you for this. I have been a fan of Lady Bunny from the early 1980's. I think a RPDR season of older Queens would be fantastic. Lady Bunny, Cocco Montrece, Darcelle XV, Dolly Levi, Lady Red, Donna Personna, Juanita More, ... so many more. It would be a treat and the producers would have their hands full!
Lady Red died
woah thx for this summary!!
I remember being aware of Lady Bunny in the late 90’s when I was a little kid, I think she was featured on some HBO documentary or something and I was fascinated by this larger than life character
l remember the episode on S6 when everyone dressed as Ru and Milk came out as Ru's workroom look and gasp when she appeared on the runway was like damn
The mention of Nelson is *muah*
When i think of the way my friends and i used to just record ourselves doing whatever, whenever, however we did it, he comes to my mind. The OG vlogger.
Learned about The Lady Bunny when I saw a docu-movie Wigstock that came out in 1995. Went by myself there were 2 other people in the theatre. It was the Dream Theatre in Monterey, CA. This was an iconic theatre that was opened in the 60's during the hippy era and had different types of seating love seats stretched out setting in the front sort of like a pool lounge chair and regular theatre seats. I recently learned that it was bought out and the building was demolished, was very disappointed that this happened. Monterey is rather conservative maybe this is why it happened. This is where you went to see all your indi films and LGBTQ + releases that never made it to mainstream theatres at the Del Monte Mall or the one in downtown Monterey on Alvarado.
17:10 - THIS PART RIGHT HERE! Thank You, GreenGay!
ilysm and i love this channel❤
The zoom in to Marcia Marcia Marcia's Teeth still hunts me
In 1996, a great documentary called “Wigstock” is wonderful footage of all the performers from the 1995 wigstock … with early footage of Jackie Best. Truly a wonderful film… great history.
It is better than Wig.
Finally a new videoooo❤❤
I would like a battle of the ages. Older 90s queens vs the new baby's born after 2015.
And I want mostly design challenges
She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. Now come on now!
This is actually a discussion that's been needed for some time and though this might be a bit lengthy, I urge everyone to read it.
The Lady Bunny comes from a very different....for lack of a better term, era. Drag had virtually no rules back then and many of us were able to get away with having jet-black humor. Nothing was too taboo (Tabboo!) and many of us that were around before _Drag Race_ built our followings on shock value because it worked in the context of the four walls that kept drag queens chained to the gay bars.
Lady Bunny and RuPaul came to New York together in the early 1980’s. RuPaul eventually realized just how cautious he’d have to be if he wanted to reach the level of stardom he aspired to and by 1993 when she finally broke through into the mainstream lexicon with “Supermodel” and went on to conquer every other facet of the entertainment industry, Bunny remained the most influential (and powerful) drag artist in New York City with Wigstock. RuPaul became the Disney equivalent of a drag queen and could do virtually nothing more controversial than putting a dress on for fear that any ripples she caused might eject her from a boy’s club that never really wanted her, but went on to fall in love with her nonetheless.
Is Bunny’s entire act ready for mainstream approval? Absolutely not. But the big difference is that Bunny never _aspired_ to it. Regardless, people still flocked to her for her outrageousness while suburban grandmothers ate up every episode of _The RuPaul Show_ on Vh1. These two queens were borne out of the same scene in Atlanta and rose to a certain level of infamy together in New York, but their lives split at a moment that will forever define them as very different creatures.
It’s interesting to ponder whether somebody like Lady Bunny should be held to the same standards as other comedians that have been “canceled” for joking about a sensitive topic. Here again is another key difference between Bunny and someone like Dave Chappelle, who suffered immediate backlash for his comments on the trans community:
While Bunny might be infamous for a montage of jokes that throw barbs at specific celebrities, Lady Bunny’s schtick has always been to poke more fun at _herself_ in what amounts to little more than incredibly tasteless bathroom humor. With the exception of gay references that would likely go right over their heads, Bunny’s act would get as many laughs from a room of 5 year-old boys as it does the LGBTQ community that she’s devoted her life to entertaining. (And no, I am not suggesting Bunny try a spin on the Drag Queen Storytime circuit).
Bunny’s most disarming when she’s serious. And she knows perfectly well when to joke and when not to. Those are the true test of a queen’s wit, when one can suddenly shift from scat jokes to a profound discussion of politics and few do it as well as Bunny, That’s why she’s beloved by millions more than should even know her name, and that’s why the new generation of superstar queens like Trixie Mattel, Katya, Willam, etc. owe just as much to Bunny than RuPaul herself. Is she _everybody’s_ cup of tea? Absolutely not.
…but drag queens were never meant to be.
very well made video!!!!
I love Nelson’s videos. They’re like time capsules into the 80’s New York.
The "out of respect for Dela" clip made me laugh TOO HARD. 😂
OMFG! I just realized that she's performing on the stage at my bar here in Edmonton Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 in that opening of this video.
