Nithya Raman, Robyn Gravees, and the Flamingo Girls with Cake Moss and Hunnie Bunnz

On this week’s episode of the It Girl Podcast, we have this season’s winner of Dragged Out Hunnie Bunnz alongside Dragged Out All Star and all-around West Hollywood legend Cake Moss. Hunnie talks about starting up in drag in the current scene while Cake is able to share her perspective starting 14 years ago. Hunnie opens up about her relationship with Miami Knight from the Roccette’s and what it means to receive their guidance and endorsement in the Dragged Out competition. We dive into some of the challenges Hunnie faced in the competition including a drunk audience member crashing her performance and some bad behavior from the other queens. The conversation then turns to West Hollywood Pride which faced criticism for not collaborating more closely with working artists and drag queens in the local community. West Hollywood Pride has long faced scrutiny over corporate sponsorships and transforming a protest into a music festival for profit. We discuss the gentrification of West Hollywood general and the cultural push to becoming Beverly Hills Jr. that locals are resisting. Then we get into the It Girls of the Week: (Spoilers ahead!) • Kathy Hilton being removed as Weho Pride Grand Marshall and the politics of Paris and other pop stars • Principal Laura ANDREWS effortlessly taking down a homophobic parent • A woman with no hands getting arrested for talking on the phone while driving • The Tony’s and Qween Jean becoming the first openly trans person to win a Tony, alongside celebrity performers P!nk and Megan Thee Stallion Niche Girls: • The Los Angeles Mayoral race with Nithya Raman beating out Spencer Pratt and now going to a run off against her old ally Karen Bass • Salina Estitties and Aura Mayari clashing and crashing out on RuPaul’s Drag Race • The Flamingo Girls, a burlesque female dancing group here in West Hollywood • Billy Francesca’s Big Gay Show before Pride to commemorate LGBTQ History • Cake Moss’ drag daughter Robyn Gravees’ returning to drag It Girls Who Got Away: • Rasputin, an old West Hollywood club venue that pulled out all the stops • Drag Competition Camaraderie and backstage etiquette • Cupcake Canne, a fabulous drag queen taking a break from the game It’s hot takes and even hotter tea from a baby queen with fresh eyes and a veteran who’s seen some things.
