#Dragratitude — A Thread:

Being on @rupaulsdragrace for #celebdragrace was easily the best experience of my entire life — and I had sex one time — so to summarize my gratitude in tweets will be difficult, but here goes…

Thank you to @RuPaul for welcoming me into the house of Ru, giving me this chance to discover Rachel McAdamsapple, and for telling me I’m funny — which, if you’re a fan of the show, is like Jesus telling you you’re good at praying… #Dragratitude

Thank you to my drag mother @Ninawest for taking my tiny sweaty hands into her huge sweaty hands & leading me *with kindness* through every step of my Drag journey, AND for embodying the beautiful heart of drag that got me hooked + sharing that heart with the world… #Dragratitude

Thank you to @MattIseman and @theAlexnewell for being hilarious and SICKENING partners in this journey and — though they both easily could have — for not making me look like a complete doofus, and just letting me achieve that on my own… #Dragratitude

Thank you to @Thatonequeen for reminding me that I’m actually not funny at all and @KimChi_Chic for keeping me grounded on set by repeatedly yelling “work you little twink!” directly in my face… #Dragratitude

Thank you to @michellevisage, @helloross, and @carsonkressley for being so lovely during critiques despite my two-left-hooved runway clomp-walk and basically calling them all wrinkled whores in the roast… #Dragratitude

Thank you to @lailamcqueen for not only miraculously BEATING this mug while I nervously vibrated in the chair, but for helping me stay calm with her calm…or was it her palm? Either way… #Dragratitude

Thank you to @TheOnlyMayhem and @ShannelOfficial for helping me pad around my botched butt-filler and very kindly lying about how fishy I looked right before runway… #Dragratitude

Thank you to @tonyiniguezdesigns and the entire design team — especially Jesus Estar and Rosa Lopez who *literally* ran to find spray paint to make the only pair of shoes I could walk in go from black to blue… #Dragratitude

Thank you to #Raven for, after I told Tony I was 5’10” and 1/2 during my fitting, bestowing unto me these words of wisdom I’ll never forget: “Hang onto that half inch, honey”… #Dragratitude

Thank you to @trixiemattel for giving me a hug backstage while I awkwardly blurted “Tris-dee!” with a mouthful of sandwich…Also for @movingpartsdoc... #Dragratitude

Thank you to @LaganjaEstranja for making herself available the week before filming to teach me to walk in heels (which didn’t end up happening, as you could tell by my above-mentioned two-left-hooved clomp-walk, but still, it was so nice of her!)… #Dragratitude

Thank you to my friends @Benlewishere and @blakeleeblake and @jenniferbkaiser for coming out and supporting and saving their honest critiques until after filming stopped so I wouldn’t ruin my makeup with tears… #Dragratitude

Thank you to @JeffreyBChapman for bringing me to my first @RuPaulsDragCon (where I met @TheGingerMinj !) and being the catalyst for my drag journey that will no doubt continue to teach me things until the day I die, due to a stiletto-and-lash-glue-related accident... #Dragratitude

Thank you to @littlelengies for inspiring me with her inspiring exploration of sex and gender (watch “The S Word” ---> ... #Dragratitude

Thank you to the entire non-drag Hair+Makeup team who were so kind and encouraging AND all the producers + staff of the show (I even got to meet Wintergreen!) — from start to finish, tops to bottoms, everyone was welcoming and wonderful and it meant so much to me... #Dragratitude

Ok. Now I can finally untuck... #Dragratitude
