Now sissy that walk.

[cheers and applause]

Trend alert.

I'm new to a lot of things.

I ain't new to stunning.

I always joked about running
away and joining the circus,

and I basically have.
[laughs]

Category is New Jersey/
Atlanta housewife.

♪ She's a super queen ♪

Naomi's such a whore.
I love it.

I don't need
a lot of communication.

I just need to, like,
there to be a plan.

Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

Thank God.

Oh, send me home!

This better be a good light,
Mr. Jasper.

You are filming a woman
who does drag.

Now this is how you do drag.

Okay, gotta go
before they yell at me.

Hi, everybody.
I'm Plastique Tiara

from Season 11
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

For me, finishing eighth

and not having the opportunity
to move further,

they don't really get to see
what's behind the camera

or what wasn't shown.

I was just fearful
of, you know,

not having the opportunity
to showcase my talent.

But somehow, some way
I got on this tour

and somehow, some way
I gained the attention

that I've gotten,
so I'm obviously very grateful

and very lucky to be here

among all the legends
from Drag Race

I've looked up to for so long.

Oh, my God.
Plastique.

She is so impressive
for how young she is.

If I could perform
like Plastique

and look like Plastique
and just fucking be Plastique,

I'm wanna skin her
and just wear her alive.

It's me. It's me.

I'm prettier. [laughs]

Here. Not here.

Because you have
the homophobic lighting on me.

I don't know what kind
of witchcraft she has going on,

but, bitch, I want some.

The hair's
just never in her face,

whether there's a fan or not.

The eyelashes are always on.

She's never fidgeting
or fudging with anything.

She has, like, an aura
that, like, blocks everyone off.

She's so beautiful
and so funny and kind

and just a little angel.

How dare you
put her next to me.

She's not just pretty.

She dances, she hair flips.

She's, like, such
actually a sweetheart

and funny.

Ooh, that's what she wants
so bad.

You wanna fuck me
in my ass, huh?

She's one of those people that,
like, just works well for her,

or at least drag does.

I don't know.
Her wigs clean themselves.

I've never seen her do anything,

but I know
she does it all herself, so...

[cheers and applause]

Clean women washes their lace.

This is what you do
when you have a human wig.

Hi. I'm the boring one
of this tour.

Oh, shit. You didn't watch
Drag Race, didn't you?

Because she's polite and pretty.

[laughs]

Polite and pretty.

And for some reason,
that equates boring.

Something to be said
about people

who have, like, good manners
and can look good, you know.

[all laugh]

Let's rehash old drama.

[all laugh]

Al the time. [laughs]

'Cause the other queen
can never look like this.

-Wow.

Keep her billing.

Right when I thought
she was well mannered.

No, just kidding.

I'm a sticky rice queen,

but I'm a ticking
sticky rice queen.

Sticky rice, you're
attracted to other Asians.

You're Asian, but you're
attracted to other Asians.

What was the other one?

Potato queen
is when you're Asian,

but you like white people.
Right, Kim?

A dairy queen is a guy
who likes to suck on nipples.

I learned that on the Tyra show.

-Really?
-Yeah.

A lot of people
don't know my story,

or if they know, then
they don't really believe it.

I come from Vietnam,
a very poor family.

But we were like middle class

among the poor families,
you know.

We still had a toilet.
We still had a working toilet.

My grandparents
actually raised me

when I was in Vietnam.

My mom, she never understood me,
I never understood her.

Growing up in Vietnam,

it was basically in a bubble,
in, like, a fish bowl.

You can't really imagine
how it was like back there.

I didn't even know, like,
drag queens were a thing.

I didn't know American music
was a thing

or I didn't know, like,
being gay was possible.

That little feeling
on the inside

of me knowing something,
I was different,

it was pushed down
because of everything

I was taught growing up.

Boys have to be boys,
girls have to be girls.

If you are in between,

then you end up
bringing shame to your family.

And that's the worst thing
you could do

in our culture I feel
is to disappoint your family.

I've grown up very alone.

My feelings are always,
like, getting pushed down.

I just learned
to please people, you know,

throughout my whole life.

Just, like, worry about
what they're going to think

or worry what I should do
to make them like me better.

But now, being surrounded
by all these people.

Naomi just always tell me,

to be, like, just don't worry
about what people think.

Worry about
what makes you happy.

So...yeah.

She's...she's great.
[laughs]

Ready.

Six, seven, eight.

Sorry.

This is my first tour ever.

Like, first big tour
that I'm away from home,

so it's a lot of adapting.

Okay. And then--

It must suck to remember.

We have to make do
with what we have.

Yoga mat.

I will demonstrate
how to de-stress

in these stressful times.

And what you do,
you spread the mat out,

bend over like this,
and lay down.

Relaxing on tour 101.

This is how
we keep ourselves sane.

This is not
how you fold a yoga mat,

so don't publish this.

We all get along pretty well.

It's not a Drag Race environment

where you have to fight
for attention.

[laughs]

It's more just a sisterhood,
and we're all friends,

so we kind of just--
we vibe over one another,

we hang out with each other.

Plastomi in your area.

Plastomi in your area.

What's the area code
in St. Louis?

69, 96, 69.

It's so funny, because
I think that I have, like,

taken on the big sister role
for Plastique.

Yeah, she always told me,
like, I was like you.

She also got on Drag Race
very young.

[cheering]

-Let's go!
-Yah-hah-hah-hah-hah!

She never knew
how to say no to people

or, like, necessarily, like,
stand up for herself.

Look at this.
Naomi's a true, true friend.

She's like my one sister
on the playground.

I'm the one who's always
wounded and injured.

She's, like, bitch, get tougher.

No, I just always
want to protect you.

-Aw.
-She's too sweet.

She taught me to just
pick and choose your battles

and know your values and just be
a bad bitch about it

and I love it.

Cash? That's your name,
right? Cash?

She looks so fucking cute.

I love you, I love you!

That's my bitch,
and then that's Cash.

[all laugh]

Look. You're so cute!

Plastomi, our little duo,
our little love story,

our little saga
that continues on.

Are you ready?

Huh?

No.

Ooh!

And welcome...

To...

Plastomi!

Plastomi's Drag Race.

-Welcome.
-Our hybrid.

You have to subscribe
to find out.

We get boba and we fuck.

[laughs]

Okay, so this is our first tour
working together.

I met Plastique
I think when she was 18.

I met her when I was six months
into doing drag.

She liked me
when I was ugly, too, so...

I like you when you used to pad
like a Tonka truck.

-Aah!
-[laughs]

Naomi's a fucking cunt!
[laughs]

We became really close,
I think, like, two shows in.

Love that bitch.

I idolize Kim
and I idolize Naomi.

They were up there for me
with Alyssa,

so to be touring with them
is insane.

-Hi, this is Rhonda.
-[laughs]

From Ron Paul's Drug Race.

RuPaws Drag Race,
the cat version.

Yes!

When Kim and I were doing
the meet-and-greets

always together in Europe,

they'd go, "Oh, my God, Kim,
you're so artistic."

And then they'd come to me

and say, "Naomi,
you're so gorgeous."

And now they love to say,
"Oh, my God, Plastique,

"you're stunning,
you're gorgeous,

"you're the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen.

Naomi, you're so tall."

You're so tall!

Thank you for noticing.

I've never heard it before.

Oh, my God.

I'm sure you heard it
once or twice.

All right, baby, let's take
the photo. [laughs]

But I will gladly be
the tall, artistic one

in comparison to Plastique.

Like, you cannot get
on her level.

It's unworldly beauty.

[humming]

Oh, my God, I feel like
I'm being eliminated again.

Aah, PTSD!

Oh. Oh.

So you're fucking beautiful.

-Look at her.
-Ugh!

Look at her. Gorgeous.

I just have a fat pussy.

I just have a wide-set vagina,

I can't help it.

I was meant--
I was made for birthing.

You're kidding.

Like, the show
is starting 30 minutes late.

Yeah.

Wait, are you joking, or are
you, like--am I being trolled?

No, no, no.

You're not trolling?

Why the fuck--
Oh, my God!

Guys, the show's
delayed 30 minutes.

I'm gonna hit up the catering.

The tomfoolery, the riggory,
the fuckery,

the rigor mortis of it all.

Do you see this?

We're the only one
who's doing our jobs.

This is so good.

What is in this?

Peanut butter.
You're not allergic, are you?

-No.
-Okay, thank God.

I, like, freaked out
for a second.

Ugh!

Do you wanna see
our dungeon of horrors?

Yes, is there better light
in there?

Oh, no, don't look at mine,
look at hers.

Hers is pretty.

[laughs]

Naomi is all organized.

This is the cleanest
dressing room.

Not really.

This is where the Virgo queen

likes to lay out her nails
for a costume change,

and her heels and her earrings
and her safety pin,

because my skirt doesn't fit me.

Do you see
how beautiful this is?

And come and look at mine.

Let's look at Plastique's.

Wait, what's your sign?

I'm an Aries-Gemini,

literally
the worst combination ever.

Are y'all ready?

Come on into my dressing room,
darlings.

Yeah, you're a floor worker,
I noticed that the other night.

So this is the magical space
where an Aries-Gemini

lays... [clears throat]

Wait, what's it called?
Chaotically organized?

-Yeah.
-Chaotically organized.

Is that how it is?
A chaotic--no.

Everything moved
very, very fast for me.

It's so crazy to me.

I'm supposed to be in college
right now. [laughs]

Like, doing the things
that my parents wanted me to do.

[cheering]

Plastique, you know what?

She's kind of been coming out
of her shell on the tour.

She's been loosening up,
having a few drinks.

I'm, like, okay, bitch.

Because she used to not drink.

I didn't think Plastique
was a party girl,

but I think
she's kind of a party girl.

My mom, I feel like she still
has that thought in her mind

that maybe the son
she wished she had

would, you know,
eventually emerge

or eventually come back.

Me trying to be a drag queen
and trying to do all that

rather than
going to medical school

was not her forte,

so we were just clashing
all the time.

I started doing,
like, amateur nights

when I was, like, 18, 18, 19.

And, like, I did a couple shows,

and then she found,
like, my tights.

And then it was just,
like, furious from there.

Still to this day we don't
really talk about what I do.

I don't know if she will ever
accept it, but that's okay.

I've kind of
gotten to the point

where I'm like, she's my mom,
and it's fine.

You know, it's heartbreaking
for her, too.

[mumbling] The secret recipe
before a show

is bread and Red Bull.

Carbs--oh, shit.

Carbs and sugar

gives you that extra boost,

snatch you up right away,

especially
when you have a hangover.

See you at the show.

Oh, shit, I gotta go up.

It's always difficult

to not compare yourself
to other people, you know.

Before I went into
the competition,

I was very confident.

But afterwards, I feel like

every girl kind of
gets into this zone.

There's always
a little voice in my head

thinking that, oh,
my number's not gonna be enough.

You know, I have to have
more, more, more, more, more.

Like, I have to be greater
and grander every single time.

But I've gotten to the point
where I'm pleased with it now.

You know what?

I might not be dancing
the whole five minutes,

but it's me.

It's my number, and I love it.

I'm the first to be featured,

and so it's a very quick change,

and it's a lot of preparation
that goes beforehand.

And so it might look
very simple,

it might look very beautiful,

but there's a lot of checks
that need to be run.

Copy. It'll be the lyrics,
and then when the guys move in.

I've always wanted to be,
you know, a little goddess

lowered down from the ceiling,
and then the snow.

Don't look up my skirt!

[cheers and applause]

And then I get to change
into this warrior princess,

dancing in front
of the fan machines.

Like, you get to be the Beyoncé
of your own number.

[cheers and applause]

The crowd, it's just--
it's just an amazing energy.

You just get this rush
of the superstardom

that you've always wanted to be.

We just did our number.

It was so much fun.

You liked it?

Yay!

Aw!

Even in larger theaters,

they raise me, like,
at least 30 feet.

So it's, like, super crazy.

But it was worth it.

Is this the one?

God, I don't know
where I'm going.

Aah!

Aah!

This way.

I see costumes.
There's a good sign.

Over here we have
an array of drinks, food,

for these fat-asses to eat.

And here we have
the lovely Vanessa Vanjie Mateo,

getting ready to do her
Fall Out Boy reunion number.

And here we have
the best dressing room of all.

This one is Asia O'Hara,
but nobody cares.

So let's check it out.

Here we have Kim Chi,
Kameron, me, and Naomi.

Hi, hello, how are you?

Huh? It was good!

So, woman, hanging out,

doing so much work right now.

I'm so busy, oh, my God.

I have so many things to do,
what am I gonna do next?

A woman eating bread.

Why are you--

my whole episode is just
gonna be me eating stuff.

And then it goes into
really emotional shit.

Just me eating shit
with lip gloss.

So when you eat with lip gloss,
you have to do this.

This is the content
that you sign up

for Wow Presents Plastique.

It's the same price
as a cup of coffee.

Coffee.

Or a boba.

Or...

A wig!

What?

[laughs]

Can I touch it?

Never thought at 22

I would be going
around the world,

doing this stuff, going through
Drag Race and all that.

I just never thought
I would be, you know, here.

And finding myself,

you know, never knew who I was.

I said I knew who I was,
but that was for TV.

But, no, I'm still
figuring it out every day.

My mom, I don't blame her.

I don't blame her at all.

But I just wish she was,
you know, more...

not accepting,

but more understanding
of what I was going through.

I never thought I would be
a role model for anybody.

I just wanted to be somebody
who's gone through shit,

and just to tell the little boys
and girls out there

who grew up like me
that they'll be fine.

Plastique Tiara!

[cheers and applause]

I'm just here to do me,

and, you know, represent
the place I come from,

represent what I'm about.

Aah!

Aah!

Oh, my God!
