      I agree. The older generation of gays are so valuable, in my opinion. One major reason I think we all luv Ru herself so much.

    To me its so sad that Vivacious left Drag Race so soon - the amount of history and truth and realness she exudes in this video gives me *life*, and I would love to just sit and listen to her tell stories of the Clubs and our history for hours on end, as well as show the looks and attitude of the club off for the new queens to see and be reminded of where they came from.

    Vivacious is so amazing, what a criminally underrated queen. Also, I could listen to them talk about drag and their lives for HOURS! I would live if they had a web show together on WOWPresents or something.

    • @MsCherade9
      @MsCherade9 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      That's a truly fantastic idea. Seriously, write into them on the usual email address and see if it could be arranged. It's as much about having that treasure trove of history and knowledge on record as it is that would be a devastatingly funny performance to see them play off each other.

  • @wallydisney22
    @wallydisney22 10 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Why the fuck did they eliminate Vivacious before she got a chance to share her stories on drag race?! When she speaks she offers real substance. She could have imparted actual meaning into drag race and could have offered actual lessons about what being gay and accepting who you are and loving yourself means, but instead we get to hear Adore talk about how she's been on American Idol every five minutes?! I just don't understand, what in the actual fuck RuPaul?

    • @friezasama8860

    Really loved the conversation between James and Vivacious on this one. As a young gay person, It's shocking to me how gay people my age have no knowledge of what came before them. I'm totally against expecting certain people to enjoy certain things, but gay culture is so rich and exciting and it's currently being forgotten as it becomes absorbed into popular culture more and more.

  • @ardianworld4129
    @ardianworld4129 9 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Vivacious is my favourite queen ever. She brings me life. There's something regal about her; the way she presents herself with such grandeur. A true diva. Next to that she's very inspirational with her wishdom and in all honesty I completely agree with her; dare to be different! No improvement without movement, be one step ahead of the herd.

    " It's a shame sometimes that gays try to fit to one mold and we're not supposed to.We're not even supposed to conform to what the straights are telling us to do.
    Because to me, The word "GAY" means "Generations Ahead of Yesterday", And the straights are the yesterday. We've always been ahead. Everything we've done, they jump on board and take it over and pretend that they own it.
    I'm like:"Bitch we did that 5 years ago!" - Vivacious

    Out of all the queens that ever sashayed away I was saddest when it was Vivacious. I do believe she is my favourite that ever was. I'd love to spend 24 hours with her. Just to listen to her stories, have her beat my mug and take me somewhere opulent. I LOVE YOU VIVACIOUS!

Pls make a "tea time with Vivacious and James st.James" where we can just listen to you guys talking about the club scene!!!

  • @jackiecieri

    I actually love Vivacious. I love the club kid side of drag & I was so happy to see someone so different in a season that had to many similar queens. Vivacious has so much history behind her and she's just so interesting. I can listen to her talk about drag all day. She's so respectable. She deserves to be on Allstars 3
