Alexis made me cry in talking about how she can take pictures of herself now. I'm not trans, but I struggle with body image and ever taking pictures of my self really bad. I'm just thrilled for you. And then Alexis' "....you ever think about that?" made me fully spit diet coke all over my keyboard.
As a fellow tran, congratulations Alexis! I'm a little behind you but so happy to hear about how your world has changed for the better. Thank lorde for informed consent!
I remember when imho was brand new and seeing Alexis and being genuinely confused when she said she wasn't a woman 😅 I'm so happy her journey lead her to her true self and it's made her so much more fulfilled and at peace
darby: i was actively in a midst of a sex addiction 😮💨🫤 alexis: 🫵😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah… *darby waiting for alexis to apologize* 🥴😐🤨❔ alexis: you ever think about that? 🤨🤨🤨❔❔
What an amazingly positive transition! So happy for you, except for the hormone situation. It's like a little emotional rollercoaster throughout the month. Good times.
Alexis congrats!!! I totally agree dating post transition feels so much righter. I didn't do too much before I met my current finacee but it was a lot more fun even when the relationships didn't spark. Darby, i would def say try find the meds and dosage that work for you. I tried meds and didn't much like it so I went off them and lived with my anxiety disorder for years, until it was too much. Now I've got the right med balance and I've gone from weekly anxiety attacks and day day issues, to maybe 1 a month. I still have issues don't get me wrong but life is a lot easier to manage! You both always make me smile and laugh, thanks so much for the show!
I love this episode. Thank you so much for sharing. Learning about the trans experience has been a focus of mine…trying to be the best ally I can be. Also, I like to see myself represented on screen - a straight white woman pushing 40. Xo
IM SO BLOODY PROUD OF YOU ALEXIS!!! Seeing you embrace yourself now is just amazing! I know how hard that is to do. You are such an inspiration to many! This is my favourite TH-cam channel. So I hope you both do this forever. Much love from Australia! 😍 AKA JENNIFAH LOEPEZ 😂
Congratulations to you both for hitting the one year milestone! I've followed Alexis since her Camp Wannakiki days, & found Darby through watching Alexis, so have basically been following IMHO since the first episode, & in my honest opinion it just keeps getting better! Please don't ever change a thing, you have a winning formula! I'm so happy you were able to start your transition & finally live your truth Alexis, it's a privilege to see your journey so far & to see you in both good & bad days, I'm sure you're going to both educate & inspire many people along the way by sharing your experience & vulnerability. Stay happy, stay safe & let's not forget to stay healthy!! x 😃🙏❤️👑🏳️🌈
PollyAnna is one of my favourite movies. The crystal projection scene really spoke to me. I'm told that one is a distant family members may be playing in the band scene too. 🖤
I love watching you guys so much, you are literally the definition of comfort creators! Happy late Birthday Alexis, and CONGRATULATIONS for a year on hormones!!! 🏳️⚧️ Also, happy L.A. anniversary to Darby! Hoping for the best for both of you moving forward! Thank you for making great content! 🥹🫶🏾
Lol Alexis is so me, Darby kept trying to ask genuine interview questions while Alexis is just vibing like idk I'm just here to have a good time lol. Same girl, same.
This was such a wonderful episode! So proud of you Alexis for blossoming into your most authentic self. So proud of you Darby for being such a good friend to Alexis and navigating life in LA. So happy to be at the bar when you both dressed up like the podcast hosts and gave such a incredible show. So very happy to hear who stopped by where Alexis works, what a amazing duo! Can’t wait to hear about the DragCon experience! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
As soon as Darby said death call I immediately knew what book she was talking about. The 2nd book in the series " The first to die at the end." Is sooooo good. Kept me entertained from start to finish.
My boyfriend broke up with me today and when i saw the notification that there was a surprise episode i suddenly didn't care anymore. Happy Birthday Alexis!!!
As a Chicagoan I escape to Mexico City most winters. It’s even prettier with prettier men (and for my also women and anyone in between!). Alexis so happy for you! But y’all water drought is terrifying in SW California and SE Florida. Be careful!
Happy Birthday, Ms Bevels! 🎉 and Polyanna is a wonderful fillum 😊❤ I wanted to add that I thought you were a girl at Camp Wannakiki. Seriously. No, really, really. Wilma Fingerdoo introduced me to you and then I found IMHO 😉
Created an AI IMHO script for ya! "I want to create a three page comedic absurdist script where two people chat about pop culture with some liberal political references, especially trans rights. It will be a conversation between an effeminate cis male southern drag queen named Darby and a trans woman drag queen named Alexis." The results, and no I didn't mention the word Dixie at any point. And it cuts off, I'm assuming that's the AI's definition of an absurdist ending. Great! Here's a three-page comedic absurdist script that follows your prompt: PAGE 1 Darby and Alexis are sitting in a dressing room, both in full drag. Darby is wearing a bright pink wig and a frilly dress, while Alexis is in a glamorous red gown. DARBY: So, Alexis, have you seen the new Marvel movie? It's all about saving the world from evil aliens, just like in real life. ALEXIS: Oh, honey, you know I'm more of a DC girl. But speaking of saving the world, did you see the news about the trans rights bill passing in Congress? DARBY: (laughs) You mean the one that finally recognizes that trans people exist and deserve basic human rights? It's about time! ALEXIS: (preens) Absolutely, it's a step in the right direction. But you know what they say, the revolution will not be televised. It'll be tweeted. DARBY: And TikTok-ed, honey! Speaking of which, have you seen that viral video of the cat in a tutu doing a dance routine to "WAP"? It's pure art. ALEXIS: (laughs) Oh, Darby, you always know how to keep it classy. But speaking of art, have you heard about the new exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art? DARBY: No, what's it about? ALEXIS: It's all about exploring the intersectionality of gender and race in contemporary art. It's truly groundbreaking. DARBY: Hmm, sounds interesting. But you know what's even more groundbreaking? My new drag routine where I dress up as a Confederate soldier and sing "Dixie". (pauses) Too soon? ALEXIS: (raises an eyebrow) Definitely too soon, honey. Let's move on. PAGE 2 Darby and Alexis are now sitting in a cafe, still in full drag. Darby is sipping on a latte, while Alexis is munching on a croissant. DARBY: You know what's been on my mind lately? The fact that we live in a world where people still discriminate against others based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. It's like, come on people, it's 2023! ALEXIS: I know, right? It's insane that in this day and age, some people still think it's okay to deny basic human rights to others. But you know what they say, ignorance is bliss. Or in this case, ignorance is bigotry. DARBY: (laughs) That's a good one, Alexis. But seriously, we need to keep fighting for what's right. Whether it's through peaceful protests or by calling out those who perpetuate hate. ALEXIS: Absolutely. And speaking of fighting for what's right, have you heard about the new coalition of trans activists who are working to create safe spaces for trans folks in every city in America? DARBY: No, I haven't. That sounds amazing though. I'd love to get involved. ALEXIS: (smiles) That's the spirit, Darby. Together, we can create a better world for everyone. DARBY: (raises a fist) Hell yeah! PAGE 3 Darby and Alexis are now walking down the street, still in full drag. They're both holding protest signs that read "Trans Rights Are Human Rights" and "Love Is Love". DARBY: You know what's really sad, Alexis? The fact that some people still think that trans folks are somehow less deserving of respect and dignity than everyone else. ALEXIS: I know, Darby. It breaks my heart. But that's
Take this as you may, but I’ve been watching IMHO clips for about a year, and until today I literally thought this show was centered around a cisgendered gay male doing drag and his biological cisgendered/female friend joining in on the fun. Kudos Alexis for being authentically herself, for living.
I hated pollyanna. It made me so sad as a child. Stuff like that gave me serious depression. Like the song Eleanor Rigby by the beatles. That shit fucked with my head. And that Christmas song by Judy garland. She was so depressed.
This is the only para-social relationship I indulge in. I’m so glad you guys are doing well, and I’m more happy you guys have each other. 🧡
Same. I generally don't indulge in parasocial relationships either but I'm so invested in their happiness 😁
I was gonna come say the same thing! haha been so fabulous watching and supporting over the last 4 years 🥰
This is the only one? Okay.
darby's tiny little imho glasses on the tip of her nose are so camp.. someone give her the camp wannaquoiquoi crown
Camp one of key key
It's giving Dumbledore
Alexis made me cry in talking about how she can take pictures of herself now. I'm not trans, but I struggle with body image and ever taking pictures of my self really bad. I'm just thrilled for you.
And then Alexis' "....you ever think about that?" made me fully spit diet coke all over my keyboard.

Alexis out of drag look is soo cute
*Next years video:* "One Year Since The Incident!... Breaking My Silence... What Did Alexis Do & Why Did We Have To Leave LA?" 🦀
Spoilers... Alexis gave RuPaul crabs. Then RuPaul went into Anaphylactic shock...
Lol I read that as apopaloctic shock
@@SpectreSaunders so that is why she started fracking!!!

As someone who's been watching since the beginning, I just wanna say its been a pleasure to be here on your journey through life.

Same. When I saw her on Camp Wannakiki - Queen of CAMP!
Same here when I started seeing them on IG
Just noticed Darbys tiny glasses
theyre actually normal sized womans glasses shes just big and manly
I thought it was a bandaid
They’re prescription

This comment made me see them ???? Omg
Alexis is so cute out of drag 💘
I remember when imho was brand new and seeing Alexis and being genuinely confused when she said she wasn't a woman 😅 I'm so happy her journey lead her to her true self and it's made her so much more fulfilled and at peace

Alexis’ wig and outfit this episode is sooo cute she’s like a little pastel princess
Let it be said, Camp Wanakiki had a trans winner before RPDR. Alexis for All Winners season 2 ❤️
What an amazingly positive transition! So happy for you, except for the hormone situation. It's like a little emotional rollercoaster throughout the month. Good times.
Congrats on one year! 💖💙💖
Alexis out of drag look is adorable✨

Thank you for saying that, I made a similar comment a couple of episodes ago. We, the neurologically challenged need to help out when we can ❤
Loving the pastel looks and Darby's villainous upper lip!
+ Alexis looks so cute out of drag
I’m so glad son daddy grandpa talk is back.

Happy one year to the LA and trans journey! Love the colors for the outfits/wigs for today's video

Alexis so happy for you!
But y’all water drought is terrifying in SW California and SE Florida. Be careful!

I wanted to add that I thought you were a girl at Camp Wannakiki. Seriously. No, really, really. Wilma Fingerdoo introduced me to you and then I found IMHO 😉
the way Alexis repeats “oh no” 😂
I'm so glad the camera mishap didn't destroy your friendship. I was a little worried at the end of that episode not gonna lie 😅

Great! Here's a three-page comedic absurdist script that follows your prompt:
PAGE 1
Darby and Alexis are sitting in a dressing room, both in full drag. Darby is wearing a bright pink wig and a frilly dress, while Alexis is in a glamorous red gown.
DARBY:

You two are so beautiful. I'm way behind on my Patreon eps bc life but I love this show.

As someone named Aiden I was gagged by this credits chat
I read seven husbands of Evelyn hugo in one day and made everyone I know aware that I read it. Videos of fresh tears sent to nearly all of my contacts
I also made my mum read it
May I ask whom the author is please?! It sounds like a must read if so many of you are recommending it! x 📚 😃🙏❤️
