and use them in her own creations. Regardless of how Ellen would watch (either via TV or live) Ellen would be paying close attention to details and just marvel at how it all looked. Ellen would just have a fantastic time.

it was a big party that was going on.
Ellen would just have a great time at the drag shows and whenever she was able to, she would go and talk to the drag queens. Ellen would always ask them about their makeup and the clothes as she completely loved them. She would take inspiration from them

November 23, 2025 at 2:53 AM
One of the performers had problems getting there and the show didn't start until almost an hour after it was supposed to start. I remember Ellen commenting about it was pretty much the same for anyone who did any kind of dancing (she was joking about it but there also a kernel of truth gained from

find out about it, we would end up going to check them out. I tend to remember the ones we would see over at SwampCon (the student run Con done by UF over in Gainesville) and one that we saw over at Pensacon. That one in particular was fun but also it was funny because the show started really late.

However, there were a lot of Drag Shows that we saw that were inspired or had themes related to them. Not all were like that though, and some of them were what I would have expected, a show that covered a whole range of dress styles and performances. Whenever we went to Cons and again Ellen would

to go and see, in different places. Among the places where we would see them happened to be at Cons, which was something that I was actually surprised at since to me, usually when I think of Cons, I think of comic books, anime, and pretty much any kind of media that is connected to those two.

assumed it would have been really late as it looked like it wasn't going to end anytime soon). I feel that this was one of the best drag shows that Ellen went to because of how close she got to everything.
It wasn't the only drag show we had gone to, and there was a lot that we would get

it so she was able to talk with them as the episode was going on, and she saw a fantastic drag show and was able to talk to the big-name performer there too. It was a great time. When we were leaving, the party was still going on, so we were curious as to when it would all eventually wind down (we
November 23, 2025 at 2:47 AM
were able to do that to a degree. However, we both had to go to work the following day, so we did have to eventually leave. We fortunately didn't miss any of the really big things that happened so Ellen was happy with how everything went. She saw the season premiere with so many people who were into

little bit Ellen was able also to hear the questions that they posed, often times being the same questions that she herself had so even when she wasn't talking directly, Ellen would get her questions answered.
We tried to stay as long as we were able to, and since it was close to home, we
November 23, 2025 at 2:45 AM
wanted to meet and get to talk to the special guest who was one of the contestants on RuPauls. Ellen wasn't the only one who wanted to engage with the drag queen, but she got a good amount of time being able to chat a little bit. Also since there were so many people there that wanted to talk a

not just the performers but the audience also. It was really a big party in which the performers were centre stage, but the audience would also be pumped up. The performances were fantastic but the part that Ellen was really waiting for was essentially the meet and greet at the end of it. Ellen
November 23, 2025 at 2:43 AM
and everyone there was excited. For us, we had been to drag shows before so it wasn't anything new which meant that we knew how lively the place was going to get. We went to different places to see drag shows and what they all had in common was how energetic and lively the whole event would become,

would be the centre of a lot of drama (stuff that Ellen would tell me about as the season progressed and the comments that Ellen would get into conversations with others via FB).
After the episode was over, that was when the place really became alive because it was time for the Drag show
November 23, 2025 at 2:40 AM
imagine that seeing a big sports game at a bar full of fans would really describe what it was like watching the premiere there. There was so much conversations going on about the different contestants and a lot of people were already talking about which ones they liked and which ones they thought

longer. The place was hopping as there were so many people there and you could feel the excitement and energy there. For me it was kinda surprising because as it wasn't really what I was expecting from a bar (neither Ellen nor I did the bar scene so I really didn't know what to expect going in). The

me, whenever Ellen did anything like that, especially using makeup in a non-performance setting, it meant that she was really excited and wanted to show off her makeup skills.

She also tried to wear something that was also a bit flashy, with bright colours and vibrant, again just trying to emulate the aesthetic that she felt would fit in with the theme. To

being very bright and flashy. Ellen would have loved to wear a lot of the stuff she saw in the various drag show programs, both on TV and live). Since it was essentially a big party, Ellen dressed up for the occasion. She wore makeup (which she really only did when she was performing. In her daily

That was why she loved the garments that she saw the drag queens wear, a lot of them
November 23, 2025 at 2:31 AM
This was a big, exciting thing for Ellen as she would be around pretty much anyone who was into the series so she would be able to socialize with other fans but also there was the excitement of meeting and getting chance to talk to a drag queen so it was an opportunity to ask questions
