90% of drag queens still have to work a fulltime day job. Those that actually manage to turn it _into_ their day job are brilliant. Well done, Fena. It seems your name is popping up everywhere lately and you definitely deserve the recognition.
@@wendybutler1681it’s more that the arts are treated like a marginally glorified hobby in the US. It’s incredibly difficult to make a full-time living as a performer of any type; no matter how money the production and venue is raking in, talent is rarely paid its worth.
@@TheAzeraththis is so true. I’ve always been a musician and my entire life people tried to convince me to just keep it as a hobby and it’s a terrible thing to say to someone who’s doing something they love and doing it well
As a drag fan but also very much a drag race generation type, I am super happy to learn about her and im sad that ive never come across her legendary self despite her being a massive part of modern drag and my favorite queens. So happy to have her in my life now :)
You took the words and thoughts right out of my head. I'm so happy I ran across this video. Thank you Refinery29 for featuring Fena Barbitall! I so enjoyed.
It's always a pleasure to see Fena! I loved when she stepped in for Trixie on Queens Who Like to Watch; the Twilight episode (pt2). She and Katya go way way way back and I love their chemistry.
I’m a pretty insecure person when it comes to makeup but I love watching drag queens doing their art they really inspire me to let loose and to not care what others think so I am thankful to be able to watch these ♥️
Fena needs more attention and presence online and on our screens. What I have learned about her is that she has the skills which means she needs more success! All the best!
Fena is everything. I live for when she has little cameos on UNHhhh. And like somebody else mentioned, she has such a soothing and comforting aura about her!
Love love this! Please more types of these videos. A great reminder that in addition to famous drag performers, there is a whole economy and community of drag craftspeople who contribute to drag art and culture. I love to see the stories, dreams and labor of these drag talents be shared with the world! Thanks @refinery29
AND I OOHHPPP 😮 I didn't expect her to be so handsome out of drag .....just so interesting how extremely different drag queens look in and outta drag. Like they look so pretty in drag , that you're like .... wait ..who's this sexy guy?! She's also so effortlessly funny as Drag Queen. It comes off unintentionally which makes it even funnier
This is something I see that I like! It seems like, at least as far as Trixie and Katya go idk about others, but they support their own and I like it. Being a gay dude myself I’ve had opportunities lost because I didn’t pass as a hetero, so I’m happy they do this for others.
Ok but why was this so relaxing? Fena has such a soothing voice 🫠 I would totally watch an asmr wig or makeup tutorial. Like how the V&A Museum does conservation asmr, but drag
I just love the calmness that she gives me with her voice, and he just whipped himself into a lather and turned out so fantastic and then at the very end when he was getting kind of B, I saw hint of Divine!
Came across you lat night on an episode of very delta. I was captivated by how the interview went which means I'm new to your TH-cam videos which I have started to watch now, entertaining, informative useful and love the way you present them. I'm definitely a newbie it's lovely to see what goes behind the magic 🪄
I am SO HAPPY to see Fena getting some attention! Two things came to mind while watching this: 1. Her voice reminds me of Raven (David Petruschin) when she's being chill. 2. I would love to see one of these about Gigi Goode so we can see her wig artistry.
Oh my god I was so excited to see a spotlight on Fena, I've heard your name a trillion times but never knew much about you. This was well beyond due... you're talented af girl!!!

We love Fena!!!!
Doing drag well can be sooooo expensive! Gotta have a day job to fund the drag!

Out there scaring children
So thrilled to see Fena get to shine and to learn more about the keeper of those two biological women!
Are you referring to Tracy and Katie? Lol

She’s the crypt keeper. She slayyysss

@@viragogemini7403that SHADE towards Trixie and Katya 😂😂
Fena's voice is so soothing, the world needs more of her!
She could do hair/wig ASMR
Yes. The whole time I was loving the calming tone.
Have not had the joy of learning about Fena, instant fangirl moment over here! Fanning herself with Trixie‘s mirror, WE LOVE TO SEE IT! ❤
You took the words and thoughts right out of my head. I'm so happy I ran across this video. Thank you Refinery29 for featuring Fena Barbitall! I so enjoyed.
Fena Is so funny! You have to go down that rabbit hole! She had a good interview on Very Delta podcast.
Fena’s voice is mesmerizing!❤
Very soothing
I almost want the background music to stop so it’s just the asmr of Fena’s voice
10000%, love Fena’s voice so much!!! ❤❤❤
major Bob Ross calming vibes, we need a full chill out wig styling series from her!
Yes! We love a Fena moment. She is the vibe. And endlessly talented. 💖

Same! I’m just not really a makeup person but I love watching other people be fabulous!
@@kaylamanorI’m exactly the same!
Fena getting her bag and getting the attention she deserves gives me hope for the world
Fena is such a bright light in the drag world and I really love their vibe. It's the type of unbothered I asprie towards.
Always a treat when Fena's on screen
What a joy to hear Fena talk about her amazing talent. Love Fena!

Fena is everything, im so happy she’s putting herself out there more publicly. shes so fierce
NOW MISS FENA IMMA NEED THAT PINK HAIR 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I love the positive attitude.

These are SPECTACULAR. My goodness, the sheer artistry! ❤️😍❤️
Fena has such a calm soft voice. A nice break, when you're used to Trixie's bird screams and Katya's witch cackles
2:33 Her explaining so sensually and knowingly that you could survive a concussion in that wig gave me life
4:47 "I got a manicure yesterday just for this." so funny
So happy that Fena’s been getting lot of these features recently!

Fena, we love to see it!! Her finished mug is honestly stunning, kind of reminds me of Vanity
Yes, I see it too. 😀
I'm fully here for Feena's rise in popularity.
It's about time for her to be a bigger star.
I love Fena's creativity with all of these styles!!!
7:21 this “cool dude” pose she strikes cracked me up, love her. Brilliant queen
LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing Fena shine!! 🌟 these pieces are WILDLY beautiful.. such an amazing artist
Love seeing Fena get her recognition. She is everywhere lately! I'm loving all of it so muxh!
I love her body of work ! A very talented artist & creative ^_^ the way she explains her passion is very soothing
Love seeing Fena. She is so talented and sweet
She is so relaxing! Would love to see more from Fena. :)
She paints beautifully and the wigs are sooo stunning!
I want Fena on Unhhhhhh more often
Looooove seeing Fena get some attention!! She is amazing!
Love to see Fena getting her flowers 🥰
Seriously in my opinion the best wig stylest for drag queens.
I love Fena and James Mansfield's work on skinny god fearing women, Trixie and Katya.
That pink bedazzled wig gives me life
I saw the thumbnail and was like IS THAT FENA?: I love that queen
So good. I’ve always heard the girls on unhhhhh talk to Fena but it’s nice to get to hear from her about her drag and work. She’s so talented.
So great how katya believed in Fena’s wig game and helped her come up as a wig stylist
This is something I see that I like! It seems like, at least as far as Trixie and Katya go idk about others, but they support their own and I like it. Being a gay dude myself I’ve had opportunities lost because I didn’t pass as a hetero, so I’m happy they do this for others.

Eee so gentle and soft spoken! Fena Barbitall should do audiobook readings/recordings! I could fall asleep to her just speaking casually, lol
Fina is an incredible talent so glad to see this highlight her skills and all that effort! 💕💕🫡
Fena's make up here dropped my jaw: THE PRECISION!! The symmetry is PERFECT! I bow to you. I'm stunned.
Love this. Love Fena. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and joy with us all. Gorgeous Artist.
You have a very comforting presence about you and your drag look is gorgeous ❤
This was so interesting. Love love love Fena! Hope to see way more of her on TH-cam. She’s just so calming ❤
I just love the calmness that she gives me with her voice, and he just whipped himself into a lather and turned out so fantastic and then at the very end when he was getting kind of B, I saw hint of Divine!
I ADORE MISS FENA!!!! So glad someone's shining a light on her many talents!
