00:00.
00:17Nikki!
00:18Hello.
00:19I'm in the kitchen.
00:20Come on in.
00:21What?
00:22You're cleaning your own kitchen?
00:23Tell me about it.
00:24My housekeeper, Marnie, she went to go visit her grandmother,
00:26Agatha, for the weekend, girl.
00:28Girl, whatever.
00:30Girl, so what's up with you and Fanny?
00:32Nothing.
00:33We got enough tips like this all the time.
00:35We made up.
00:36Of course, we're sisters.
00:38At the end of the day, me and Fanny go back years.
00:41OK.
00:42We fight and we argue.
00:44And you have to realize, coming in at Palace,
00:47you're going to deal with that shit all day long at Palace.
00:49The girls talk, talk, talk.
00:50But anyways, let's change the topic and talk about EJ.
00:55So you're still talking for the geek ambulance driving?
00:57Oh my god, the paramedic, you ass.
01:00Huh?
01:00But yes, the geeky paramedic.
01:03EJ, you're still talking to him?
01:06Come on, Nikki, like, come on.
01:08Honestly, at this point, he's probably the only thing keeping
01:12me in Miami right now, to be honest with you.
01:14How far you guys have went, like, you look awesome?
01:18No, no, no, we did not go all the way.
01:19You know, I got trust issues and shit.
01:21I don't suck big unless I really, really trust you.
01:26But you suck my dick, eh?
01:30All you got to do is want something and let yourself have it.
01:39Nikki, I'm so happy for you.
01:41You don't even have to be in Miami.
01:43Like, bitch, you're special.
01:44No, I get it.
01:45I'm a gypsy bitch.
01:46I won't stay long in one place.
01:49And I tend to make things work where I go.
01:51I'm just, I want to find that happy.
01:57And I don't know.
01:59It's right there.
02:01It was right here last night.
02:03But anyways, we're going to see if he's the reason why I stay here.
02:07At this point, I do drag all over the world.
02:09I can stay wherever the fuck I want to.
02:11You can.
02:12Right now, I want to focus on EJ and Miami dolls, bitch.
02:15Right.
02:16Come on, let's go pick these costumes.
02:18Get you ready for the show, girl.
02:30Oh, fuck.
02:32I've been so stressed.
02:33Thank you so much for coming over tonight, babe.
02:35I missed you.
02:36I missed you, too.
02:37It's good to see you.
02:38Hey, two more.
02:39Fuck.
02:40Fuck.
02:41What?
02:42You're hot.
02:43I'm hot?
02:44Yeah.
02:45Gorgeous.
02:46Aw, thanks, babe.
02:47Beautiful.
02:48I'm so glad I have EJ, because he's such a great relief from the stress that I get from
02:56the palace.
02:57Work has been so stressful, and putting the show together, and all the girls, and I'm to
03:06the point where I don't feel like palace is a thing for me anymore.
03:13If it's causing me stress, why am I staying?
03:16It literally is taking every ounce of energy I've left in my body, brain, and fucking soul.
03:23And it's fucking killing me, and I'm over it, I think.
03:27I'm sorry.
03:28I mean, I'm kind of glad that you brought this up, if I'm honest.
03:33Why?
03:34I was just thinking that now that we're together, you know, you could find something more real,
03:46like a real job?
03:48Like, I'm an EMT, and you could take on something more, I think.
03:53A real job.
03:56My not real job paid for this real mansion.
04:01And my $250,000 for you.
04:04Nikki, you...
04:05What do you mean, real job?
04:06You know what I mean.
04:08Hoo-hoo!
04:09Bitch, a real job?
04:12Listen, this is too common for people like me.
04:17Being a trans person, there was no working as a cashier.
04:21There was no being a bartender.
04:23We are shunned from society when I grew up.
04:26I had no choice but to be a drag queen or an escort when I was growing up.
04:31Those were my two choices.
04:32What I do is real.
04:33What you do is put your tits all over the fucking place.
04:36My tits inspire the fucking world.
04:38How fucking dare you talk to me like this?
04:41You know I didn't mean to have the conversation like this.
04:43I don't know you that well to even know what the fuck you mean.
04:46This is my life.
04:47My whole life I've been told I'll be nothing.
04:50Do you hear me?
04:51My parents disowned me at 14 the fuck years old.
04:55If they were alive today,
04:57they would roll around on the fucking carpet
05:00that cost $10,000 fucking dollars
05:03in my multi-million dollar fucking mansion.
05:06Do not tell me I could do more.
05:08Don't fucking talk to anybody in our community like that.
05:12We have been brought down and fucking rambled
05:15and fucking torn apart our whole fucking lives.
05:19And now I got somebody else that wants to do that to me within my fucking community.
05:24Those kids that email me and tell me they put the fucking knife down.
05:29Because I inspired them.
05:31It's fucking real enough.
05:33Do you hear me?
05:34Get out of my house right now.
05:36He thinks I'm worthy of more.
05:39He's fucking right.
05:40He can get the fuck out of my house.
05:42Now.
05:43I'm-
05:45Now means now.
05:47Fuck.
05:48Fucking piece of shit.
05:50Fuck.
05:51You know what?
05:52I really thought we had something going.
06:06I thought it was my time.
06:13Every fucking time.
06:17Can I ever just find something fucking real?
06:24I'm fucking tired.
06:26Oh my god.
06:47This is it girl.
06:48Tonight is the night.
06:49Ooh.
06:50We've been-
06:51Oh my god.
06:52We've been working for this the whole time.
06:54Oh my god.
06:55Yeah.
06:56Oh my god.
06:57It's all handsome.
06:58It's all handsome.
06:59Laganja Estranja is so freaking amazing.
07:03She's a great trans representative.
07:05Honestly, she's that bitch.
07:07It's been a long time though.
07:09Yes, baby.
07:10A long time.
07:11Bitch, tonight is the night of the show.
07:13My sister Laganja's here.
07:15The energy's right.
07:16We got the choreography down.
07:17We're so fucking excited.
07:19Let this show take off.
07:21And what's been going on with y'all?
07:23Nothing.
07:24Just trying to put this show together.
07:26This is the big night.
07:27Trying to put it together with this one.
07:28Good luck.
07:29Working, working.
07:32Oh shit.
07:33I just got a voice memo out from John.
07:36Where the fuck is he?
07:38Oh lord.
07:39Hey girl.
07:40I know this is the last minute, but I really need to drop out of the show.
07:46I never wanted to disappoint you, but I'm just not in a good mental health space.
07:52And I'm not sure being around the other girls is gonna help.
07:56I hope this doesn't hurt our friendship.
08:00What?
08:01Are you kidding me?
08:03Like girl, what kind of bullshit is that?
08:07I'm really not trying to point fingers at all.
08:11I swear.
08:12But this is definitely Fanny's fault.
08:14I love the girl.
08:18Don't get me wrong, but it's like more than often she pushes people away.
08:22She's like super rude and people just, they walk away.
08:26They don't want to deal with it, to be honest.
08:29Well that's showbiz kids.
08:30Girl, what is all that mess?
08:32So that was John, our other cast member for tonight's show.
08:36He's amazing.
08:37Wow.
08:38Splits.
08:39Backflips.
08:40Lipschitz.
08:41Cicero.
08:42Fucking doing splits off the bar.
08:44Just like you.
08:45Dances, does stunts like you.
08:46Girl, girl, girl.
08:48He's a fucking fake psychic and a crybaby girl.
08:51Come on.
08:52So this is what that was about.
08:54Someone couldn't get along with John.
08:56It doesn't even matter because we have to fix the show.
08:59He dropped out and it's in a few hours.
09:01So we have to fix this.
09:03Gonj, do you want to do a number?
09:06Nikki, Nikki, stop.
09:08Girl, you are so rude.
09:09Like, girl, why would you even ask her that?
09:11Well, you over here and now his mental health is not okay.
09:14And I don't like that.
09:15That's what we represent.
09:16That type of activism.
09:18Speaking of mental health, I don't think I'm the adult to feel that way.
09:22You know, I feel very attacked on the regular.
09:25So I figured this out.
09:26Have a great show.
09:27I'm so sick of you making this John shit all about me.
09:31Finny, this is what you do.
09:34You put people at a distance and you push them away, fan.
09:38And now look, two hours.
09:40We worked so hard for this fucking show.
09:43Tiffany, do I push people away?
09:46Well, girl, you kind of do that sometimes.
09:52I love you, but yeah, you can do that.
09:56When Nikki said that and then to hear Tiffany say, did I push people away?
10:02Like, honestly, like, it really hurt my feelings.
10:07That's my girl.
10:20I hate seeing her cry.
10:22Fanny, we can fix this.
10:24I'm gonna fix it. I'm gonna fix it.
10:26I'm gonna fix it.
10:31Fuck.
10:41Hey, girl.
10:42Hey.
10:43What's up, baby?
10:44I asked Etna to meet with me because I really wanted to set things straight.
10:48Thank you so much for meeting me up here.
10:51I never expected to hear from Fantasia, but I decided to hear her out.
10:56Do you want a drink?
10:58No, honestly, I really just came to talk to you.
11:03Honestly, we really need you to come back to the show.
11:07Coming from my end, there's just a level to how you do things in this field.
11:14And I feel like you're just inserting yourself.
11:17You know, I was once the new girl.
11:19So trust me, I know how it feels, but there are levels to this.
11:25I know I came off a little bit strong.
11:27I know I came off a little bit harsh.
11:29But there's the etiquette that you have when you want to be a badass drag performer.
11:33Honestly, I just didn't feel like that you should have just been chosen, you know, to just be in it.
11:40Yeah, that's totally fair.
11:42I was homeschooled, so I wasn't really, I don't pick up on social cues quite as well as everybody else.
11:47So I'm happy to play by the rules.
11:49Yeah, when I started here nine years ago, I was a new girl in town.
11:52So trust me, I didn't just come in thinking that I had it all figured out.
11:55I had to learn how to earn my spot.
11:57So I'm not telling you that you're not good in a thing.
11:59I'm just saying, baby, you know, earn your spot, come in gracefully, and you know, eventually you'll make it.
12:05I just want you to know that I'm a fan of drag, like real drag.
12:09And not just like TV glamorized drag.
12:13I love Nicki and Fantasia because they are work horses, baby.
12:17They work for their money.
12:18And that's inspiring.
12:19When I got the opportunity to hang out with you and Nicki, like, that is everything to me.
12:24And I'm just so thankful to be around y'all and be given this opportunity.
12:28Oh my gosh, that's so special.
12:30That makes you feel a lot better.
12:32And you know what?
12:33I'm sorry for snatching your wig off.
12:35Sometimes my hands don't know how to act.
12:37You know, they get real crazy.
12:39You better be glad that I snatched your wig off and not other things.
12:42But I do apologize for it, I think.
12:45I'm so glad I talked to Fantasia and patched things up.
12:48So after all that, I'm really ready to kill it tonight.
12:51Now that we're good, can I read your poems?
12:54Oh, no, girl.
12:55I don't do all that, honey.
12:56But you could buy me a shot, though.
13:00Oh my God, girl.
13:01Look over there.
13:02Where?
13:03Oh, shit!
13:04Oh!
13:05Yes!
13:13Miss Nicki!
13:15You disappeared.
13:17Well, yeah.
13:18You brought yourself in a predicament that didn't involve me.
13:20So I exited stage left.
13:21I did not get myself in a predicament.
13:24I got myself an anxiety attack, is what I got myself in.
13:28This show is so fucking stressful.
13:31This place is stressful.
13:34Doing all this, doing all that.
13:36It's just fucking...
13:37Mama, deep breaths.
13:38Just deep breaths.
13:39It's gonna be okay.
13:40You're gonna get through this.
13:41You know girls drop out at the last minute,
13:43but I'm sure the show's gonna be fine.
13:44I know, and it's a fucking drag show, and I shouldn't be stressing.
13:47People have more pressing issues.
13:49Like, transitioning.
13:51Well, I know a little something about that now.
13:54Yeah.
13:55So like you, I mean, you know, that's a thing to deal with.
13:59Mama, this is a stressful life, especially as trans women in the space.
14:02You know, we gotta take up the space.
14:03We gotta be the representation that we wanted to see as, you know, young little girls.
14:07As we were frolicking in the field.
14:09Yeah.
14:10And that's honestly why I'm so proud of you, Nikki.
14:11As you know, I know this transition to Miami hasn't been easy, but you've been doing it.
14:16I have to tell you something.
14:20I miss home.
14:23Home misses you.
14:24I...
14:25Everyone tells me, everyone texts me every fucking day since I've been here.
14:27It's just been like non fucking stop duress.
14:31And now I don't know what to do because I don't like it here.
14:34It...
14:35You don't?
14:36In LA, I had that city to just roam, hit the pavement, and make my dreams come true.
14:41I hit a plateau here.
14:43Listen, look.
14:44LA's always gonna be there.
14:46We're always gonna welcome you with open arms, but you've started something really great here.
14:50I don't want you to give up in the last second.
14:52I'm so conflicted.
14:53Like, the opportunities are endless.
14:56And you can get what you want if you put your mind to it out there.
14:59But here, I'm happy being a trans woman out there.
15:03I'm happy career wise, but not happy real life wise.
15:07So I don't want to see you run anymore.
15:10Stay focused.
15:12See this through.
15:13You're so close, Nikki.
15:14I believe in you.
15:15I know that you are such a superstar.
15:17And I get it.
15:18Bar life is not easy.
15:20Donj, I want to tour stadiums.
15:22I want to be that Gaga.
15:23I want to be an A-list celebrity.
15:25I'm done dancing in front of french fries.
15:28I just want to be where I want to be.
15:31Take a deep breath.
15:33Your show's about to start.
15:34You need to finish getting ready.
15:36Oh my God.
15:37And you need to go out there and show these people why you belong here.
15:40Please, for me.
15:43I'm so glad you came here.
15:45I wouldn't have missed it.
15:46I love you, sister.
15:47I'm so proud of you.
15:48You've got this.
15:49Here.
15:50Do you need a sip of my cocktail?
15:51That's what you need.
15:52A little liquid courage.
15:54I love you, bitch.
15:56Cheers to an amazing show.
16:03Hey, girl.
16:04Hey.
16:05Look who I got.
16:06Oh my God, John.
16:07How are you?
16:08How are you?
16:09How are you?
16:10How are you is the question.
16:11I'm good.
16:12Kenny, I really did not mean what I said earlier.
16:15No, no, no, no, no, no.
16:17Ashley, you did.
16:18And you know what?
16:19I listened.
16:20That's why I decided to go and reconcile things with John.
16:23And I'm so happy that I did because, you know, we have a great show to put on.
16:27And, you know, he's a major asset to the show.
16:30You're right.
16:31I love you.
16:32You are my sister.
16:33You may see the highs and lows of everything on this camera and for the show.
16:37But there's years of friendship that has been put into this.
16:44Hello.
16:45All right.
16:46Welcome back to the family.
16:47Yes.
16:48Word.
16:49All right.
16:50Enough of the bullshit, though.
16:51Let's get ready.
16:52Let's go.
16:53Let's get ready.
16:54Let's go.
16:55Let's get ready.
16:56And now, Palace Bar presents the world leader of Miami.
17:00We are finally here.
