00:33Oh, thank you.
00:34Yes, doing a fabulous job.
00:36Yes, Midwestern sisters.
00:38Hello.
00:39You know how we get down.
00:40We have to be crafty and creative and resourceful,
00:43and you know how to turn it out.
00:44Yes, ma'am.
00:45Like what you're watching?
00:47Well, be sure to click like and subscribe.
00:50So now, this is hello, hello, hello.
00:53And first things first, I would like to know,
00:57where were you when you got your first call
00:59from RuPaul's Drag Race?
01:00Ooh, blast from the past.
01:01Okay, so I was headed to a drag show,
01:04and my drag sister and I parked in the parking lot
01:07at the very same time.
01:08She's parked where you are.
01:10Uh-huh.
01:10My phone is ringing, and I have to pull over
01:13very quickly, and they say, hello.
01:17It's Drag Race.
01:18And I'm looking at her through the window,
01:20and she's like, we gotta go, we gotta go,
01:22and I go, and I had to spend the entire evening
01:26sitting next to her, sitting on a secret,
01:28just inside Giddy, and so excited.
01:30Couldn't even focus.
01:31Busting at the scene.
01:32I'm about to bust.
01:33I'm about to bust.
01:35So how long have you been doing drag?
01:36I am coming up on my sixth year in drag.
01:38Six years, and how many times
01:40did you audition for the show?
01:41Only one other time before this.
01:42Wow.
01:43I auditioned for season 16,
01:45and 18's my lucky number,
01:47and I said, I know that 18 is about to come my way,
01:50and so I took a little bit of time,
01:51put this tape together, and I said, this is our time.
01:53So twice, two times was the charm?
01:55Two times is the charm.
01:56So now we get to watch your tape with the whole world,
02:00and talk about the fierceness of Sierra Mist.
02:03Let's get some popcorn.
02:04Let's take a look, girl.
02:08My name is Sierra Mist.
02:09I'm 31 years old, and I'm the shape-shifting superstar
02:12of Indianapolis, Indiana.
02:13Drag is not always spooky, spooky, kooky, horror, scary, boo.
02:17Sierra Mist is also dash of 80s, fantasy, sci-fi, nerd,
02:21superhero.
02:22When I was a kid, I used to draw superheroes like crazy,
02:26and I told my preschool teacher that I
02:28was my piece of Spider-Man when I grew up.
02:30Sierra Mist is my not-so-secret identity,
02:33and as America's next drag superstar, I can empower so many people to fight for change,
02:42to fight for themselves, and in their darkest, loneliest moments,
02:47to remember that they are loved and special.
02:49How long did it take you to film this tape?
02:51Um, so Halloween is my busy season as an ooky spooky diva.
02:55Uh-huh.
02:56So I think the entire 31 days of October, I didn't sleep.
02:59I was like working on the tape, prepping stuff for the audition, and going to the gigs,
03:03and I sent it off as early as I could just to feel, I was like, I watched it and I said,
03:08this feels like me.
03:09Yeah.
03:09You know, me and you, Sierra, have a lot in common in our drag,
03:14and I'd like for the world to see our similarities.
03:17Let's take a look.
03:17Ooh!
03:18Theater queen!
03:20Acting.
03:20I grew up in musical theater, so naturally when I started getting into drag,
03:24there was gonna be a level of theatricality.
03:26Being a lead performer in so many of those shows showcased my lip sync style,
03:30and I think showed the community that while I may not be doing hips...
03:34Hips?
03:35I don't know, girl.
03:37Established me in the community as a strong lip syncer, an actor, a storyteller, and a personality.
03:41I feel like fans always have something to say about a theater queen.
03:46What do you, how do you feel about that?
03:48You know, I think that drag inherently is so theatrical.
03:52Yes.
03:52For my family, when they were getting used to the idea of drag,
03:56being able to explain it to them through the context of theater.
03:58Like, it's performance art, it's character, it's acting, comedy, costumes, all of this.
04:03They were like, oh, we get that, we understand this world.
04:07So anybody who has something to say about like, oh, theater queens, this, that,
04:10like, I'm sorry that some drama club dropout drag queen harmed you in the past,
04:16but like, all of us are theater queens in some way.
04:18Some of us are just better at it than others.
04:20Yeah, it's so funny because a lot of us just needed somewhere else to perform.
04:24Yes.
04:25And we, because we weren't going to stop, so it ended up being drag.
04:28Like, we can't help it.
04:30So many people who are queer don't get to play the parts that they would love to
04:33or that they feel drawn to.
04:34And I feel like drag is an opportunity for you to cast yourself in all of those roles.
04:38Boom.
04:38Kick the door down.
04:39Kick the door down.
04:41Thank you, Jinx.
04:43Now, every girl has to do a Rue song performance in their audition tape.
04:48But your bitch ass had a different take on how to do a mother Rue Paul song.
04:54Let's take a look at that.
04:55Magical and mysterious.
04:57I'm a winner, baby.
04:58The rest are dismissed.
04:59Nonconformist.
05:00Decantic-normist.
05:01The band's adormous.
05:02My own's enormous.
05:03Makeup clean.
05:04Makeup queen.
05:05Makeup make you want to scream.
05:07The face come from outer space.
05:08Here to rule the world in first place.
05:10Yes.
05:11And you ate that up.
05:13And you know, you better stand out because you don't know what the other girls are going
05:17to do.
05:18The girls ain't about to do that.
05:19I said, why would I just lip sync this song when I have an opportunity to show you that
05:23I love to write and be a lyricist too?
05:25If you're talking s***, I'll block ya.
05:26Drag superstar, I got ya.
05:28Put on a show you like to watch, I'll call up Trixie and Katya.
05:32So what was the process like writing your own verse for the song?
05:35I actually just sort of wrote a bunch of different genres of lyrics and rots together.
05:40So I was like, this is more of a bitch track.
05:42This is more of who I am.
05:44This is something that's more emotional or a queer anthem.
05:47And then looking at sort of the song list, I was like, how do I want to deconstruct the
05:51best parts of these and tell a story about who I am to ASMR Lover?
05:55And that song is such a bop.
05:57Yeah.
05:58So I felt very inspired to be like, let me be a blue alien b***h and turn this rhyme
06:02out for you and just dance around in my spaceship.
06:04Yeah.
06:05One of my favorite parts was the caress on the robot man.
06:07Yes.
06:08I love it.
06:09That robot man.
06:10What do you think was the c***iest part to you in your videotape?
06:15Ooh, um, I love an 80s like power ballad.
06:19And so there's a song that honestly should be a Drag Race lip sync song at some point
06:23called Self Control by Laura Branigan.
06:25Okay, I'm gonna look it up.
06:26And I just felt so woman f***ed fierce.
06:30Yeah.
06:30I was up against a brick wall, big 80s hair, black hooker dress from the 80s, vintage.
06:36I was like, oh, I'm an 80s music video star right now.
06:39Yes, yes, yes, yes.
06:40I love it.
06:41And on the opposite end, what do you think was the cringiest moment in your video?
06:44Oh, I cry a lot.
06:46Oh, okay.
06:46I-
06:47You cried in it?
06:48I'm a very emotional person.
06:50I-
06:51You better give us emotion in the tape.
06:52You know, vulnerability.
06:53That's what we want.
06:55So I'm like, yes, I'm an alien monster, but also I have a heart.
06:59I may look scary, but I'm really nice.
07:01Do you have the time?
07:02No.
07:03Well, the library just opened.
07:04Oh s***.
07:05So it is time to look at your reads.
07:09Um, glasses please.
07:13I can't wait to see how this turns out.
07:15Trinity the Tuck.
07:18Girl, you're so country.
07:19You don't use Tinder to find dates.
07:21You use Ancestry.com.
07:23If Trinity was any more inbred, she'd be a sandwich.
07:26Oh!
07:29Oh, you're starting off real correct.
07:31Well, thank you.
07:32Real correct, yeah.
07:33Mistress Isabel Brooks, a wig aficionado.
07:37I love what you've done with your hair.
07:40Now tell me, how did you get it to come out of your nose like that?
07:43Because she's a what?
07:44Beast!
07:44Oh!
07:45Georges is such a little whore.
07:48She brings her own stepstool to the glory hole.
07:51Georges is such a little whore.
07:53She goes up on the pit crew.
07:55Georges is such a little whore.
07:57Her meet and greets now include on-site chlamydia testing.
08:00Oh, the three in one?
08:03You're very generous with that.
08:05Oh my god.
08:07Now, do you stand by these reads?
08:08Um, they could use a refresh.
08:10Yeah!
08:11She said they could go even harder.
08:12There's more material now.
08:13You know, those girls have come back again and again and again.
08:16She said, I could revisit.
08:17We can go harder, yeah.
08:18We could be meaner.
08:20Oh, the library was open.
08:22But were the books worth checking out?
08:24Comment below.
08:26So after the reads, we're going to keep this messiness going.
08:29And I have a few questions for you.
08:31And you can answer as quickly as possible.
08:33It's like very, very rapid fire, okay?
08:35Okay.
08:35You ready?
08:35I'm buckled in.
08:36One, two, three, let's go.
08:39Who was the biggest flirt on the show?
08:40Uh, uh, uh, Vita Von T. Starr.
08:43Who do you text with the most?
08:45Uh, Kenya Pleaser.
08:46Who are you taking out of the group chat?
08:49Ooh, um, she was never in.
08:50Jane, don't, Jane Doe.
08:52Ooh, is there a second group chat that we don't know about?
08:54Nope, she just didn't join the first one.
08:56Uh-huh.
08:56Who had the best entrance look?
08:58Ooh, me.
09:00Yes, period.
09:00Duh.
09:01And when you entered the work room, who was your biggest competition?
09:04Uh, Nene Coco.
09:08Who's the most delusional?
09:09Athena Dionne.
09:10Okay, and who's the messiest?
09:12Messiest, like, problematic?
09:13You tell me.
09:14Um, I have the messiest station, but I do clean it up.
09:17I just like to spread out.
09:18Uh, messiest in general is, uh, Briar Blush.
09:21Okay.
09:22I'm kind of vibing with that.
09:23Who is most likely to crash out on the internet?
09:25Athena Dionne already did.
09:28And who should not have auditioned for this season?
09:31That is shitty.
09:32Hey, they got on the show anyway.
09:34Give me a word, sir.
09:34That question is not on those cards.
09:36Who shouldn't have auditioned?
09:39Hey, I'm just reading the cards, baby.
09:42Pass.
09:43Smash or pass?
09:44Pass.
09:44Smash or pass?
09:45Okay.
09:46My sister decided to pass, and that's okay,
09:48because I don't think I answered that question either,
09:49because I was like, that is rotten.
09:51That's messy boots.
09:52And gutted.
09:53And us theater queens, we are congenial.
09:55I said, that's not my line.
09:56Okay.
09:57Moving on.
09:58Well, baby, Miss Sierra and Miss,
10:00you have been the most refreshing beverage today,
10:04and it is a wonderful, wonderful honor
10:08to get to know you and continue to be a sister, honey.
10:11You as well.
10:12Yes, baby.
10:12I'm so proud of you.
10:13Congratulations on everything you're doing,
10:15and I can't wait to see what else you do.
10:17Now get out of here.
10:18I gotta go.
10:19We got cows.
