In a new video from them., RuPaul's Drag Race star The Vixen joyfully puts Love, Simon star Keiynan Lonsdale into drag for the very first time.
As Vixen paints Lonsdale's mug, the duo chat about liberating themselves from shame and limiting labels, being authentically themselves all the time, and challenges that face black men in their communities and respective industries.
"Shame is a crazy thing," says Lonsdale. "I would practice how I would walk and talk and respond and dress, everything to appear as straight as possible."
The Vixen recalls instances in gym class where she "would follow a straight guy and try to mimic the walk."
"This is what's going to be best for survival," Lonsdale nods. "But that also helps us become more creative because we're used to jumping into people's mindsets."
Watch their empowering chat and Lonsdale's drag transformation into The Prism below:
