This week, Violet checks in from Rome mid–Dolce & Gabbana takeover while Gottmik recovers from Australian jetlag and a full-blown existential spiral. We talk Fire Island hookups, disappearing djs, and what happens when someone shows up to your gig... after waking up in your bed.

Also on the docket: Taylor Swift-themed cafés, Hailey Bieber smoothies, dogs ruining hookups, plant survival, and why everyone suddenly acts like an old lady. Plus, generational queer culture gaps — including people who’ve never seen Paris Is Burning (yes, really).

If you've ever caught feelings mid–versace photoshoot or realized you're the only one who remembers the word banji, you’re in the right place.

This week’s episode unpacks the curse of "appointment only" shopping and Fire Island underwear party... incidents. Gottmik spirals after being snubbed by every designer boutique in Australia and ends up with a spider tattoo instead. Meanwhile, Violet explores queer generational history at Fire Island, gets philosophical about drag, and runs into a certain dom who just... can’t.

We break down the horrors of no follow spots at the gig, matching costumes in drag, and what it means to really have the urge to perform.

If you’ve ever been denied entry at a Designer boutique door and spiritually nourished by a busted queen — this one’s for you.

We’re on different sides of the planet, running on no sleep, retail therapy, and one... unforgettable New York experience.

This week’s episode dives deep into dramatic door policies, why we don't wear nails in drag, being mistaken for Paris Hilton, and Beyoncé's high-flying incident. Violet breaks down the most chaotic party line of her life, Gottmik visits the Australian woods for hot yoga, and we both reflect on what drag is — and definitely isn’t.

If you’ve ever been rejected by a queer party you were literally the target audience for... this one’s for you.
