One of my fave Thanksgiving memories … having a KIKI on the set of @gleeofficial in 2012, alongside @sarahjessicaparker @chriscolfer and @leamichele.
I was so excited to audition and get this role … I’d only been doing drag for three years and only in the SAG union for one so this was huge for lil ol’ me … I did my own mug, pulled my santee alley purple dress from the closet (strapless for a dance number… what was I thinking?! 😂🫣) … everyone was a JOY to work with tho … so many great stories to share … my longtime amigo @iamrondavis was on set rooting me on … I ran into @msamberpriley on the studio lot and gushed with excitement … i even met the twins @iamskot & @brilovelife. Grateful to call all these folks my friends to this day. Really loved the way the Glee writers and production were constantly moving the needle on LGBTQ+ inclusivity during that time when it wasn’t as popular. ❤️🌈😁 Happy Thanksgiving Y’all! 🦃
Me on my way to join @dollyparton at the Cowboys halftime show 💙 Dolly is such a national treasure. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!
a super sweet birthday. Peaceful, and surrounded by love. Only one special lady missing this year … I definitely felt it.
But I wanna thank my family (pictured and not) and all y’all, my friends, for overflowing my cup today. Here’s to making the most of life every day I’m with u. 💕 #grateful Paris, Texas

Reposting this photo in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day … This was taken on the same bridge in Selma, Alabama where MLK started the historic march to Montgomery in support of African American voting rights. And now nearly 60 years later, we are still fighting for fairness in voting and equality across the board. But don’t be discouraged … BE IGNITED! To my fellow Black and Brown folk (and our allies), let’s honor the legacy of MLK and all those who marched, fought and died for the opportunities we have today. Let your voice be heard. VOTE. ✊🏾❤️ And also remember to be of service. To your community. To yourself. And to our world. Xo

This was such a fun night back in August with the local divas of the @lemonlab_ drag event in Santiago, Chile. Las amo Reinas!! Aren’t they STUNNING?!? 💕
Childddd, we had a TIME last night!! 😁 It was a @dancingwiththestars family reunion as my crispy legs and I returned to the ballroom for the first time since last year’s finale. I got my LIFE – huggin the pros, hollering for the contestants, poppin’ my Halleloo fan at the judges and trying to snap pic after pic (these are just a few). Wow, it felt great to be back – and on a fierce night with an ending that left me gagged. (No spoilers here … but let me just say I met and witnessed the eliminated dancer in person and this fab and kind person and their pro WERQ’D IT!!! … but no farewell is ever final… be PROUD y’all!💕)
Shoutout to all my fab friends that had the doll’s glam on POINT!

In honor of tonight’s #WhitneyHoustonNight on @dancingwiththestars, here’s a Whitney moment I’ll cherish forever 💕 Thank u @glebsavchenkoofficial for creating this movement and for always making me feel so comfortable to fully be SHANGELA on the ballroom floor. Lord, the thigh bruises I had from rehearsing that floor move without pads on 😂 But WE DID IT JOE!!! Also, a special thank u to my friend @cj_emmons, led by @raychewlive, who served these vocals LIVE from the depths of his soul honey! I was fully in my ‘Bodyguard’ era right here 😂💕🫶🏽❤️ Long live the vocal queen … Miss Whitney Houston 🕊️
