00:00Hi everybody, it's Diabetti and I'm so excited to be watching iconic
00:05moments from my time on RuPaul's Drag Race. I don't go back on what I say.
00:10I'm unapologically myself, so I'm always gonna say I said what I said, okay?
00:15Let's get into it.
00:20Who doesn't want to just talk about themselves and if you say you don't, you're a fucking liar.
00:25Okay, that's the tea.
00:30You better be ready!
00:35Every time I hear you, Betty, be ready, in that voice, it makes me cringe.
00:40I'm so bad. I sound like Spongebob or something.
00:42Dia's a rock star and she's the...
00:45Dia is the rock star and she is the rock star's girlfriend.
00:50That is like the through line of the Diabetti world and I stand by that.
00:54Going back and watching my...
00:55Entrance and hearing me say all of this, it's very cringy. It's really weird.
01:00But I think if anybody goes back and watches like old videos of themselves from like three or four years ago...
01:05You'd be cringing at yourself too, okay?
01:07I was 25 years old.
01:08I...
01:09You know...
01:10I had a lot to learn.
01:11And that was my shoe.
01:12I didn't fart.
01:13I promise.
01:14It was my shoe.
01:15Hey, I want you to like and subscribe to WOW Presents on our YouTube channel.
01:18And if you don't, I'll find you.
01:20Oh my...
01:23Okay.
01:24I love pink.
01:25I love pink.
01:26But I do not love this...
01:30I love the performance of myself.
01:31But I will say I love a hat.
01:32I love...
01:33I love a topper.
01:34I love a fascinator.
01:35Especially...
01:35These days, I've kind of started playing with that in terms of styling.
01:38So, seeing the mini top hat...
01:40That I did back there...
01:41I love that.
01:42I think I might bring that back, actually.
01:45Skipping...
01:46Through that.
01:47Ooh...
01:48Ooh...
01:51This is a ballad.
01:52This is a song that's not about jumping and splitting and doing crazy stuff.
01:55And I was like, okay, let me think of something theatrical that I could do.
01:58And there was a moment in this lip sync...
02:00Where you notice scratch marks on my body.
02:03Um...
02:04That's a little theatrical...
02:05That's a little trick.
02:06Uh...
02:07Where I put red lipstick under my fingernails...
02:09And...
02:10Um...
02:11Rub them against my chest.
02:12I thought it was going to create a bigger illusion or a larger effect.
02:15And it did not.
02:16So, it didn't quite give what I wanted it to give.
02:19But it did...
02:20Make people question things online.
02:23Everybody was wondering if that was purposeful.
02:25Or not.
02:26Apparently there is a lip sync assassin among us.
02:28Thank you so much.
02:30And Deja will not let you forget it.
02:32Okay.
02:33Okay.
02:34Sob story.
02:35But then I'm back.
02:36I come back.
02:37I come back.
02:38And I come back with a vengeance.
02:39Okay?
02:40Daddy's back!
02:43Again.
02:44The Spongebob...
02:45The Spongebob voice.
02:46Where is this coming...
02:47Where is it coming from?
02:48This track is about this damn long.
02:50So I'm just like mid-diabetic.
02:52It tasted a lot like if you were to just take a spoon.
02:55full of matcha and swallow it whole.
02:58Hey, okay.
02:59Seriously though?
03:00The entire thing I would give you a thousand dollars.
03:01I swear to you.
03:02Right now.
03:03Oh, cornbread definitely paid me.
03:04And...
03:05I think I probably just reinvested it back into drag or Taco Bell.
03:10So I say nothing...
03:11Totes.
03:12I don't...
03:13I don't...
03:14What?
03:15I did take those shoes from set.
03:17They're the ugliest shoes I will probably never-
03:20I've never wear them again in my entire life.
03:22The only person that wears shoes like that
03:23that I know of is Trixie Mattel.
03:25And again, proving my point, ugly shoes.
03:27Hi, Aussie.
03:28Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
03:30Snatch Game.
03:33Visually, I think I did a really good job with Aussie.
03:35Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
03:36And then also in All Stars 10, Jane Lynch.
03:38Yup, that's me.
03:39I didn't have the-
03:40comedy chops, per se, that I think Jane Lynch would have
03:43in a Snatch Game situation.
03:45But I look just like the bitch.
03:47And half the time, that's half the struggle.
03:48And from this Snatch Game-
03:50I always use the Alana gif of Georges going-
03:55like that.
03:56That is like my most used gif on my phone.
03:58Like I use that for everything.
04:00She just hates when I send it to her.
04:01She won't ever respond to it.
04:02If she even responds to my text message to begin with.
04:06I'm sorry, my dears.
04:08But the rest of you are-
04:10All up for elimination.
04:13I did what I-
04:15that I would consider to be safe in the Snatch Game.
04:17Honey, you were in the bottom because you sucked.
04:19Just like every-
04:20and everybody else.
04:21So you all deserve to be there.
04:22I just remember this being like the gag for me.
04:24Of being like-
04:25Oh, I thought I was at least going to be safe.
04:27And now next week,
04:28I'm going to have to deal with lip-
04:30syncing against these hoes.
04:31And Jasmine was still there.
04:32Georges was still there.
04:33Diva's that really knew how-
04:35how to throw down on the main stage of a lip-sync lalaparousa.
04:39So-
04:40Yeah, I think this episode I was shaking in my boots a little bit.
04:43Why am I in the bottom and-
04:45And the two people that have consistently done pretty poor in the past few-
04:50challenges are getting not only another chance, but a chance at something they're both really-
04:55good at.
04:56I remember having conversations with some of the girls-
05:00behind the scenes while we were not miked and them sharing my frustration.
05:05And so I was speaking on behalf of myself because this is truly a hundred percent what I-
05:10felt.
05:11But I was also kind of speaking up for the other girls that I knew were probably thinking the same-
05:15thing.
05:16It just would have been nice for them to have my back.
05:17But you know what, baby?
05:18It's a competition.
05:19It's-
05:20It's a game.
05:21And the only bit you gotta worry about is yourself.
05:22I'm gonna pick my big sister.
05:25Diabetic.
05:26Oh!
05:27Who didn't think that was gonna happen?
05:30I saw that coming.
05:31It was writing on the walls right there, honey.
05:33I'm a jazzy.
05:35I got to choose the lip-sync song, and so I chose the song Respect Tactical.
05:40And so I decided to finish off pointfully because I knew it was probably like, a middle
05:42ground- it didn't really like, favour either one-
05:45of us and I knew Jasmine was probably going to pull out some stunts so I was just going to do some
05:50things that played into the relationship that I had developed with Jasmine.
05:55I wanted to show her to put some respect on my name, honey.
05:58Okay? And, um, well.
06:01It did.
06:02PSA, indie drag queen going on national television.
06:05Do a camera test on your own phone or your own recording device to...
06:10I wanted to make sure that your tights match the rest of your body.
06:13And I'm not just talking about my tights here in this situation.
06:15There's other divas on the stage that had the same issue as me, but we were learning.
06:19We were learning.
06:20Also, I want to give a shout out to Jasmine just because, um, our relationship has come so far.
06:25From when we first met each other, um, I, I actually don't...
06:30I don't keep up with every single girl from my cast, but there's a handful of divas I talk to and Jasmine is one of them.
06:35So, Jazzy, if you're watching this, hi, sis.
06:38The minute I knew that...
06:40Angie was not gonna crawl on the catwalk and I was next to go.
06:43That beautiful catwalk...
06:45The music video.
06:46Uh, one of my favorite parts of filming season...
06:50We all had to design our outfits for this music video and mine in high school.
06:55So, in hindsight, looks the best.
06:57Um, fun fact, though, that wig I'm wearing is...
07:00It was Bosco's.
07:01I asked her for it.
07:02So, the wig was Bosco's.
07:03The neck corset was Bosco's.
07:05And the waist corset was Bosco's.
07:07And the waist corset was Bosco's.
07:08So, this music video was sponsored by...
07:10It was sponsored by Bosco for me.
07:11And then, thank God Angie wasn't listening or not...
07:15walking in for the shift because she wasn't taking Michelle's note about crawling on the stage.
07:20So, um, I stole that from her.
07:22So, thanks to the top five...
07:25of season 14 of RuPaul's Drag Race because those other divas, they picked up my slack.
07:30She didn't say anything that was, like, unforgivable, I feel.
07:31Girl, not only just speaking her mind...
07:32No!
07:33Because we'll talk about the after both...
07:34Here's the thing...
07:35Because she has...
07:35You guys have talked to me at all since filming.
07:37Me and Jasmine would check in with each other occasionally.
07:40throughout the process of season 14 airing.
07:42But I want to say, like, since her elimination...
07:45episode, I really hadn't talked to her.
07:47But, you know, we were all dealing with a lot.
07:49We were all traveling.
07:50Um, a lot of big things were happening.
07:51So, when we got to the reunion and we hadn't seen each other for a while...
07:54I think there was just...
07:55a bunch of pent-up emotions.
07:57But, baby, it's true.
07:58Uh, she did call me one day.
08:00And I didn't answer, but I called her back and she didn't answer me.
08:02So, the door goes both ways.
08:04It takes two to tango.
08:05Okay.
08:09Okay.
08:10My fighter performance.
08:11My finale performance.
08:13It kind of makes me a little bit emotional.
08:15Just because a lot of my drag journey in season 14 was faking it till I make it.
08:20And, um, kind of figuring it out as I go along.
08:23And that performance is...
08:25probably one of my favorite things I've done on season 14.
08:29I think it should...
08:30showed growth.
08:31I think it kind of put a perfect little cherry on top to my tie.
08:35Oh, yeah.
08:36And that huge billowy kind of cocoon.
08:40thing that I came out in after I ripped open the spider webs.
08:44That...
08:45worked because I had a leaf blower backstage connected to it.
08:50blowing air to make it move and kind of like flow in the wind.
08:54If you were there...
08:55If you were there live watching the performance, I don't even know how much of the music you
08:59can actually hear because all I...
09:00I could hear was the faking leaf blowers.
09:02I felt like I was like, you know, in the middle of lawning...
09:05garden section at Walmart.
09:06Have you ever wondered what it's like to step into the world of drag...
09:10race?
09:11Well, now you can.
09:12You can step into it.
09:13Literally.
09:14Tickets for drag...
09:15race.
09:16The experience are on sale now.
09:20race.
09:21Are you a good bitch or a bad...
09:25bitch?
09:26I am 100% that bitch.
09:30drag me to the movies.
09:31I did it with James Mansfield and Mayhem Miller and...
09:35you can kind of see the evolution of Daya.
09:39You can kind of see...
09:40me finding my groove, finding my niche.
09:45Oh, my God.
09:49Bottom.
09:50I was doing the Wicked Reboot before anybody else was doing the Wicked Reboot.
09:55Put that in the Las Vegas sphere, honey.
10:00I'm Diabetti from season 14, and I'm not just a bitch.
10:05I'm that bitch.
10:07When it came to my entrance look, I just wanted to give...
10:10full rock star girlfriend fantasy.
10:12I had my knee-high con...
10:15They were custom boot covers by Chris Havana in New York.
10:20He actually made this entire look.
10:21He did leather wrapping around a breastplate.
10:25He put every single one of those pyramid spikes on that skirt.
10:29Up first.
10:30Ginger Minj and Diabetti.
10:32I'm Shelly, the good witch of the water.
10:35I like sexting on my shell phone.
10:38I was excited to be paired with...
10:40Ginger because going into this, we were also told that we had to have a storyline.
10:45to go with our looks, and I know my strength isn't in writing jokes.
10:50It's not really in the storyline of it all.
10:53So I told Ginger, you know, let me...
10:55scratch your back, and you can scratch mine, even though yours is much hairier, and she...
11:00basically did all of the writing, and I did most of the constructing, so I think me and Ginger worked
11:05really well together.
11:06You look so beautiful.
11:08And I also love...
11:10Ariana Grande and Cynthia, first of all, they're both this tall.
11:15They're as big as my pinkies.
11:16They're so small.
11:17I've never felt more like a giant dude standing next to them.
11:20If I was gonna fall over, I would have to yell timber.
11:23But it was an honor.
11:25And a pleasure to meet them.
11:26The day I got to get home and have my phone, I went...
11:30to my Instagram, and Ariana Grande followed me.
11:32And it was really funny, because back in season 14,
11:35Ariana's an avid watcher of RuPaul's Drag Race.
11:38I remember Ariana...
11:40I was following, I think, pretty much everyone from my cast, except for me.
11:45Like, I think maybe one more person.
11:47I served during this lip sync.
11:50And obviously Ginger did too.
11:51I remember at the end of our lip sync, everybody...
11:55got up and stood and clapped.
11:57And of course, when that happened, I was like, thank you.
12:00I know, it was fabulous.
12:01But watching it on television doesn't even...
12:05do it justice, because my personal experience just...
12:09it meant so much.
12:10Oh my gosh.
12:11I'm sure you already know who I am, so...
12:15it's a pleasure.
12:16Jimbo in All Stars 8, her promo look is actually what inspired...
12:20parts of this poodle look.
12:22Not because Jimbo is a dog in the face.
12:25But because...
12:26Sorry, I thought that was funny.
12:27But because the Marabou...
12:30the feathers that she used almost looked like fur.
12:35Now, real, you can run me my money.
12:38Bitch.
12:39Awww!
12:40I get asked all the time, at the end of the number,
12:43did I actually staple my ass and...
12:45I did staple my ass.
12:46And you know how you can tell?
12:47Because my ass looks flat.
12:50That's my real ass.
12:51It's not padding.
12:52I promise.
12:53The only regret I have from this performance...
12:55is my check that I stapled to my ass at the end...
12:58was upside down.
12:59So you couldn't...
13:00really read it.
13:01In true diabetic fashion, there's something that's always wrong.
13:04And that's what was wrong with...
13:05this performance.
13:06But look at that ass.
13:07Girl, I love you.
13:08Congratulations.
13:10You got it?
13:11Yes.
13:12You got it?
13:13Yes.
13:14You got it?
13:15It's so sentimental.
13:16I love it.
13:17And I love even more that even though Bosco beat me, she immediately...
13:20went home after me.
13:21Um, wow.
13:22So we've been through a journey today.
13:25together.
13:26We've gotten to kind of see the evolution of Diabetti.
13:29Finding yourself and finding...
13:30your strengths.
13:31It's not just a personal journey, but it also involves the community around you.
13:35And the drag scene when I started in Missouri was very, very small.
13:39And going through...
13:40from that to kind of a world stage and getting to work with all these talented artists and
13:44all these other...
13:45like-minded individuals.
13:46It's really changed me and it's really made me find out who I am.
13:50at my core and what I stand for.
13:52And for that, I'm really, really grateful.
13:55Some people might look at me and think I'm a...
13:57total rancid bitch, but baby, I just want to remind you...
14:00I'm not just a bitch.
14:01I'm that bitch.
14:02Okay.
