The hankies take me back to my youth in the gay clubs in Toronto in the early 80s. Took me forever to understand what they stood for... I'd see them mostly on the leather dudes, bears and slightly older guys. Us kids were rocking the new wave look back then with our make up and layered clothes, etc. Fun times! 😍
this was fun and we learned something! and the bonus is if you ever need to do that trick where clowns pull a bunch of hankies out of their sleeve you have that on your wall
About time someone edumacated the kids on hanky codes! I'm 41, I remember learning them when I was 13 and entertaining myself around Canal Street in Manchester reading them all back in the 90's.
love the Old School sunday school lesson ... this is a great idea for a channel the Queerhistory really give the young ones the knowledge how it all went down an how everything is connected.
I have had such a sh*t few weeks at work recently. I've been binge watching Willam and It honestly is such a pick-me-up. I am thankful she's in our lives. Ok. Soapy sesh over.
So, question: Whats the hanky color for like, when you just want to be loved by a big strong man but you are yourself a kinda dull, non-scene, no apps, no hookups, no drugs, no clubs, 'staying-in' type of person who likes nerd things but has some serious emotional damage and self-loathing issues and you just can't be hurt ever again because it takes you like 4 years to get over it every time and you're running out of life for this s**t and you just need someone to be sure they actually want you and you can only really offer them good food and cuddles and you're not that hot yourself but you have a good heart and life is just way too painful to be this alone but you know you're just too ugly and boring and unworthy of anyone you ever like so maybe you don't really want love but pity and you're wondering if you'll just die alone? Thanks!
Girl, get help! You get out of life, what you pit into it. If you want to put zero effort into it, don't be surprised by your situation. Once you get tired enough of being alone, maybe you will put the effort into meeting people. If you decide to hide away from the world, well, that's your choice. It's your life, live it the way you want because you are the one who has to live with the consequences.
@@Torontopia OK, First I resent the implication that I don't or have not put effort into life. I wouldn't be as tired and heartbroken all the time as I am if I hadn't tried so freaking hard all the time to get the slightest joy that just never materialised. Second, you can only put into life, what you actually have to put into it, and frankly I don't have anything left. I'm in no position to be doing anything or going anywhere (for several reasons) and those reasons are ontologically, out of my control. So WTF am I meant to do? It takes money to make money as it were, and I have no 'money' to begin with. You see the problem? Third, I am tired of being alone, but do you have any idea what it feels like to be tired of being alone and lonely, but have no way in hell of being amongst people painlessly because 1) they think I'm wierd 2) i think they're weird 3) I just can't keep-up and I don't belong in that world or 4) as mentioned previously, I don't have the resources. Its like I just can't find my freaking tribe. I'm some kinda alien. I've tried IRL and online and nobody seems to 'get' me - whether I fake it or not. Whether I'm myself or not, its just too freaking hard and I'm contantly hurt or not good enough. Fourth, being a master of ones own destiny is a myth, and a position only like 1% are in. Most of us are victim of or subject to, our circumstances and I can't do anything to alter mine. I've tried. For years. Its like a debt trap in a sense, where you're damed if you do and damned if you don't and you can't break some negative feedback loop of misfortune. I don't even know why I bothered to comment because people like you have no idea what you're talking about or who you're talking to. You throw out platitudes or victim blame and all the while I'm trapped watching other people live thier life and love and be happy and I'm lost in this solitary misery and there's no 'help' out there. I'm so freaking damaged I can't even watch most TV or movies, or do much of anything either because I don't like to because its not my interest, or because it reminds me of too much painful stuff I've been through. I even had to unsub from Willam for a while because every other joke was about sex and having fun and drugs and clubbing and it was so alienating somehow. I was jealous, resentful and yet, its not like I wanted in on it either. It was so odd. Ugh... I'm just gonna shut-up. I don't know why I bother.
It's wild to me that people are fine just picking up strangers. I've tried it, I've been taken advantage of. It stresses me out. I'm to the point where I want human contact but also don't touch me. I'm so tired.

I learn a lot more from drag queens than I did in school
And ALL of it is useful in daily life!
school was dumb as fuck for me. teach us taxes, not trig, yknow
I learned everything I need to know in Suck Less
(only book I’ll ever need on my shelf 💕)
well would you look at that. willam is walking the kids in nature.
Fendi prints on😍😍

You should tie them onto elastic, and wear it as a skirt.

I wish I had Willam as a friend. I feel like there’s a huge gap in my life and only Willam can fill it
my wife grew up in Camden, which is a skip and a hop away from philly, where Willam grew up. Both of us wish we could go clubbing with Willam

love the educational part of this video, especially that the Hanky Code is almost nonexistent in my generation

Yes you did make those earrings into glasses!!! Love being educated 💕 Thank you beautiful
I remember these, you forgot black.🖤💙😸✌
It took me a minute to realize that was a pillow in the background. I was like, Willam gives no f***s throwing those hankies on that gurls face....lol
Lol 😂 u k, hun?
Somebody explain Willam's style to me in three words. I've been trying to put a description to this trashy expensive fashion for years now.
kinda y2k. but also sharon needles called her own look, “heroin chic” which i can see in willam’s outfits. only a few can pull it off imo
Yess Willam and Travis White, somebody is having fun 😏
Gurl, your book is literally behind this tablet I’m watching you on❣️ Can’t wait for the next volume!
Mariah is from Long Island
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO I USED TO WEAR YELLOW ONES *ALLL THROUGH OUT HIGH SCHOOL AND EVEN A LIL AFTER* I DIDN'T KNOW!! OH GOOD GOD

Come on subscribers hit that button! Get this Queen to a Million!
The first time I seen Willam on tv was in Nip Tuck. Season four of drag race was my first season.
I remember when that book came out my ma got it for me as a xmas gift when I was 16......I love her
I would wear a yellow on my left, and if someone inquired about it I would pull out the green one
Suck less was four years ago???? (I just read it last week but I remember when it came out)

Green is for daddies/ sugar daddies. Half the time you don’t have to really see them they just want pics and give you money.
