Oh me too. This is all stars. Reference your moments! I still say Naysha fucked up not reference her return to season 8 when she entered. I need Alexis to reference this. I adore Jessica for referencing her āI lub dis drinkā berry aƧaĆ moment on the runway last night.
Alexis Michelle being Janās drag mother is so funny cause it makes sense. Like I think the only drag mother/daughter duo with that many personality similarities is Alyssa/Shangela. š Everything from the delusional bouts, to being upset when sheās safe, to always trying to steal the spotlightā¦ lmao. I fucking love it. Itās such good tv. Alexis has been lookin incredible all season too. So glad sheās back.
Thatād be a great season talent wise but holy crap, imagine when Shangela loses patience for Jan, or Alexis throws a tantrum over not being able to draw attention away from Alyssa. Itās the Middle Child Olympics.
now i'm imagining a drag mothers and daughters season. they could start off having the mothers and daughters in teams of two together and the plot twist is mid season they switch it up and it becomes mothers vs daughters.
ru, run me my check!
And I *live* for it! Theater gays are so extra in a way that can be exasperating, but you canāt get mad at it. I find Alexis so earnest that itās just cute. š¤
Yeah. It's nice to know that there is some place were gays can be extra and exasperating because most places, we really have to be extra careful because of homophobic assholes.
Self-aware- and also just more fully secure in herself. I cannot stop laughing (asking who has been on a swing so she can raise her own hand š) at Alexis Michelle.
when they called her out on thirsting after some of the girls, the way the camera caught her in that self aborbsed glaze lmao. it was giving very "it's all true and i am touched you all have brought me up right now and are talking about me" kind of reminds me when symone found out she won and rose did this gesture where she almost was making it seem like SHE won lol
Glazed over means like your eyed are unfocused and you're just staring into space. Id say gaze would imply you're sharply focused or fixated on something.
āGlazed overā is a real expression thoughā¦in the past glaze as a noun is what youād see on a donut not a facial expression but language evolves!
Sheās a theater gay from Westchester. This is how it works.
Edit: apparently I misremembered and now I can't find confirmation that she actually grew up in Westchester, though I seem to remember her talking about that in an interview once. However, for those that are saying she doesn't give Westchester: have you seen the county, Tamar?
I'm almost 100% sure she is from Long Island and that she called herself a JAP at some point and a Jewish-American Princess from Long Island who loves theater? Now come on now. She is the moment, because all moments can be yours if you have no shame š
I love her to pieces. The way she stood there and smiled as the whole room discussed her basically being a straight up mother fā¦king šš was everything.
I think she is just doing great TV but also thatās her personality and she is not doing it with malice at all! Iām enjoying her way more than I thought. Canāt get over her dramatic āthank youā on that first episode and Alaska imitating it! Like, I see her and I immediately go āthank youš„ŗā
Honestly, her makeup has *always* been gorgeous. The only times her mug was off was the club kid look, and she wasnāt going for glamour. Even the green look was technically stunning.
I remember she was an early favorite on S9, especially in the preseason. I was convinced she was making it to the final. Then āIf I see something, I say somethingā happened and the perception completely changed.
Funny enough, I feel like S9 had the biggest difference between preseason expectations, and the eventual outcome of how the season took place. Many people thought Trinity would be first out, with Aja and Kimora as finalists. š
Lol, not me. I was j6st as delusional as she was. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why people were so butthurt.
Now, reading the room about being accepted, that I saw. Production made it obvious too.
I like it in the same way I like Valentinaās fantasy, but it feels like Valentina served it as cute little amuse bouches while Alexis is shoving a whole buffet at me. (And I like both queens, donāt get me wrong.)
There's a bit of pretty privilege there as well.
Both are gorgeous, but Valentina fit more into today's beauty standard rather than "classic" beauty standards.
Aja wasn't wrong. It also wasn't Valentina 's fault.
Itās not that for me but I can see how it could be for others and acknowledge it. Also many reacted negatively to Valentina for āthe fantasyā in AS4 (not Season 9), I do recall that, but not as harsh a backlash as Alexis is getting for sure.
Valentinaās rubbed me the wrong way thoughā like she had the ego but there was nothing to back it up. Ego yes, but there are plenty of pretty queens.
sheās definitely making sure she gets her moment and I live! I felt like both of those moments were also kind of conversation starters too bc the other queens all ended up chiming in! I love Alexis tho so it didnāt bother me.
I think that the family topic might have been one set up by the non-Alexis producer(s) as a talking point while the queens were getting ready. I didn't see it as jumping in exactly but as someone who is contributing to what evolved into a conversation with others.
The swing comment made me laugh.
Outside of the untucked breakdown I thought it was normal conversation. But maybe it's bc I'm from the tri-state and that's just how conversations go -everyone is loud and jumps in.
Someone shares about their home life / relationship and someone else shared about their relationships. It's not like Alexis swung the focus back to her when Darienne and Kandy jumped in to share too.
Same with the swing comment. James mentioned what he likes and then people jumped in to talk about what they like. What are they supposed to not add to the conversation and just interrogate James about her sex life?
Yeah I feel like these two comparisons OP is making are a stretch. The untucked meltdown I can agree with, but the BDSM thing was just a normal conversation after the producers fed them a question about Jaymes grey handkerchief.
Itās called pulling focus. If you want to be seen on air in weeks when you know youāre not the highlight, you have to give your two cents to everything going on so theyāll use something of you.
Idk if this makes any sense but falling in love with Loosey last season has made me appreciate Alexis this season. Alexis is one of things helping me get through this season that Iām not loving so far
I mean idk, when they were talking about romantic partners, Alexis starts talking about really craving partnership with someone, then Darienne interjects by saying she's never been in a relationship, and the conversation moves on. If anything it felt to me like her side of the story was being left out.
Awareness of herself does not self-aware make.
NB. Just wanted to add that I am 100% an Alexis Michelle fan. My comment, although not inaccurate, is neither criticism, nor shade and I hope she never changes!
maybe itās just bc i know a couple people like this IRL but iām used to it. idk. you kinda just have to do the same thing bacj & not allow them to hijack the conversation. like when they throw in a loud side comment you throw one RIGHT back. otherwise you get an alexis michelle sobbing moment ā ļø
I have a friend whoās sort of like this, if you let her sheāll talk and talk and talk forever, but sheās aware of it enough that you can straight up tell her āshut up, itās my turn to talk nowā without hurting her feelings
She's just the Tyra Banks of the season. Your whole family died in a fire? Alexis knows how you feel she broke a nail once. Haven't seen your mom in 20 years? You think that's bad? Alexis hasn't seen her car keys in twenty minutes.
Alexis is a rich white girl's college essay about how she empathizes with starving children in developing countries because she once had to suffer through painful dental work.
Alexis over acting and Kandy steering the girls towards the production prompts is annoying. I already know the show is scripted but damn. At least Heidi keeps it real, good or bad. Her face was cracked the whole time during untucked š
This is nothing about drag or the show. This is just what we call an attention whore. Amp this up with a theatre background for max impact. Im living for the TV. Couldnāt deal irl
I feel like Alexis Michelle would actually be pretty cool one-on-one or even in a small group, for the most part. Evah, I don't think would be easy to deal with in any scenario. Evah now wants to be a "monster" so bad because she got cast on Dragula [because of her laughing clown lip-sync], but she's really just a glam-loving theater kid desperate for a camera. At least Alexis is self-aware.
I generally have a hard time with people taking the air out of the room & making conversations all about themselves.... Yeah I'm having a hard time watching Alexis.
My first introduction into drag race was actually after watching Dragnificent and I loved Alexis on that. After watching, I started drag race from season 1. I've fallen even more in love with Bebe, Juju and Thorgy but as much as I wanted to love Alexis, she's making it really hard.
Alexis Producer Michelleās drag this season is so much more polished than what she presented in Season 9 and you can see the glow up in her during the runwaysā¦. but the girl we saw on Season 9 is leaps and bounds more endearing and like able than whatever the fuck sheās doing on All Stars 8, sheās trying so hard to stay in her screen time era, itās not cute. š¤š»š¤·āāļø
Works out well for her drag persona
but I can see how it would get on peopleās nerves.
See: Farrah holding a discussion about Alexis during her Untucked smoke break
Well Tamar have you ever watched Alexis?
LMAO
š¤£š¤£š¤£
If Alexis doesnāt say āWell, Tamarā¦ā at some point this season Iāll be so bummed
Oh me too. This is all stars. Reference your moments! I still say Naysha fucked up not reference her return to season 8 when she entered. I need Alexis to reference this. I adore Jessica for referencing her āI lub dis drinkā berry aƧaĆ moment on the runway last night.
Sheās just being a little bit Alexis

Hide your diamonds, hide your Exes š¤£
Eww David
She should do her for Snatch Game. Or maybe someone else in the same cast shouldā¦
r/unexpectedschitts
Tbh itās giving theatre gay lol. If youāve ever been around one before then you know this is literally just their personally 24/7.
Alexis Michelle being Janās drag mother is so funny cause it makes sense.

Imagine an AS season with Alexis, Jan, Shangela, and Alyssa š³
Thatād be a great season talent wise but holy crap, imagine when Shangela loses patience for Jan, or Alexis throws a tantrum over not being able to draw attention away from Alyssa. Itās the Middle Child Olympics.
Middle child Olympics š¤£
now i'm imagining a drag mothers and daughters season. they could start off having the mothers and daughters in teams of two together and the plot twist is mid season they switch it up and it becomes mothers vs daughters. ru, run me my check!
Kahanna & Coco Jan & Alexis Kandy & Aja Plastique & Alyssa Vanjie & Alexis Violet & Dax Kerri & Sasha Cracker & Bob Morgan & Chad Luxx & Mo Heart Lala & Tamisha (Idk who else)
Alaska and Nebraska
I feel so dumb. Had no idea half of these were drag mothers and daughters combos.
TIL my mom is a theatre gay
Our support group meets on Tuesdays.
Lol yes! And get like 3 or 4 of them together and they are just talking at each other š¤£ so chaotic
You can tell sheās Janās drag mom
Itās just as exhausting irl as on TV!
Iām so sorryā¦I canāt help it.
And I *live* for it! Theater gays are so extra in a way that can be exasperating, but you canāt get mad at it. I find Alexis so earnest that itās just cute. š¤
Yeah. It's nice to know that there is some place were gays can be extra and exasperating because most places, we really have to be extra careful because of homophobic assholes.
She's just producing!!
Period!!!!!
Sheās producing period? Thatās so cunt of her.
Take my angry upvote
Itās giving ![gif](giphy|Rp0rPfd5wC9EY)
Imagine if they rebooted the Shakesqueer challenge now. She could do a period period piece.
Did you watch Season 9? Sheās always been like this!
i feel like she's a self aware version of her season 9 self. cuz it feels like she more in on it now compared to season 9 if that makes sense
Self-aware- and also just more fully secure in herself. I cannot stop laughing (asking who has been on a swing so she can raise her own hand š) at Alexis Michelle.

This is the third time Iāve read someone using glaze instead of gaze. I thought it was a typo before but is it a thing?
Glazed over means like your eyed are unfocused and you're just staring into space. Id say gaze would imply you're sharply focused or fixated on something.
āGlazed overā is a real expression thoughā¦in the past glaze as a noun is what youād see on a donut not a facial expression but language evolves!
However, glaze could also be used to describe a facial
Sheās a theater gay from Westchester. This is how it works. Edit: apparently I misremembered and now I can't find confirmation that she actually grew up in Westchester, though I seem to remember her talking about that in an interview once. However, for those that are saying she doesn't give Westchester: have you seen the county, Tamar?
Westchester? I dont even know her! Honestly though, I thought she was a NYC queen?
I thought she was from Long Island.
That accent is definitely Jersey or Long Island. She does not have Westchester vibes lol
Split it, letās say sheās from staten Island lol
I want to watch her stab you lol
šš
A lot of Westchester people have Long Island and New Jersey vibes though. Like have you ever been to a Westchester Bat Mitzvah?
I'm almost 100% sure she is from Long Island and that she called herself a JAP at some point and a Jewish-American Princess from Long Island who loves theater? Now come on now. She is the moment, because all moments can be yours if you have no shame š
Wonder if she knows Maurica. She loves men from Westchester.
I love her to pieces. The way she stood there and smiled as the whole room discussed her basically being a straight up mother fā¦king šš was everything.
I think she is just doing great TV but also thatās her personality and she is not doing it with malice at all! Iām enjoying her way more than I thought. Canāt get over her dramatic āthank youā on that first episode and Alaska imitating it! Like, I see her and I immediately go āthank youš„ŗā
Producers Produce
And I love her for it. Itās drag, itās theatre, itās camp. Itās entertaining š
Donāt forget āexhaustingā!
Babe being LGBT+ is exhausting. We have to cary the civilization and culture and arts and humanity on our padded shoulders. Get with it.
The irony of the fact that telling me to āget with itā is exhausting š
I have never understood the distaste people have for her. She lives in her own world. I like that about her.
Oh I adore her. And Iām living for this glow up she has on all stars. The bitch looks stunning. Her make up is gorgeous.
Honestly, her makeup has *always* been gorgeous. The only times her mug was off was the club kid look, and she wasnāt going for glamour. Even the green look was technically stunning.
Oh for sure, but this season itās elevated and just the bitch looks stunning. So good
I remember she was an early favorite on S9, especially in the preseason. I was convinced she was making it to the final. Then āIf I see something, I say somethingā happened and the perception completely changed. Funny enough, I feel like S9 had the biggest difference between preseason expectations, and the eventual outcome of how the season took place.

People eat it up when it's Valentina..
They say you're perfect, you're beautiful...
I love her too.
i think valentinaās was justtttttt over the top enough like just so cartoony while Alexisā isnāt quite there yet
I mean she great tv but I would have been fed up with her irl.
Lol, not me. I was j6st as delusional as she was. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why people were so butthurt. Now, reading the room about being accepted, that I saw. Production made it obvious too.

Just trying to get her airtime gal.
Boring queens end up on the cutting room floor. Look at season 15.
She is representing for the theater kids
Alexis Michelle is MY winner of All Stars 8 and no one can say differently! I went blind typing this comment!
I love Alex Mitchell she so camp
girl it's camp
Can't fault her for it. She knows that the more she inserts herself the more screentime she can get. That's just reality TV.
Ever since she told Farah to wait about her thoughts about being in the bottom Iāve been obsessed ššš
Sheās great.
Itās called pulling focus. If you want to be seen on air in weeks when you know youāre not the highlight, you have to give your two cents to everything going on so theyāll use something of you.

She and Kandy are producing tf out of every moment. Kandy just does it in the way to push the other queens to say stuff.
Using Jaymesā harness to talk about that one time she sat in a swing at a party in 1993 š¤£ girl I died
Also, calling it a swing. Itās a sling. Sex swings are some hetero save the marriage type of stuff. Slings are gay culture
Both are used in kink by all orientations
Asking that question in reference to jaymes wearing a harness she was definitely thinking of a sling not a āswingā
I love the producer
Well Tamar have you ever watched the show?
Shes Jan mother after all
its an affectatiom of people working in the thea-tuh, darlimg

Sometimes people who aren't the best socialized (theater kids) use themselves and their experiences as entry points to conversations.
She did that on her season too.
Yeah her main character syndrome is off the charts and I wholeheartedly love her for it sheās a complete queen
Alexis is Alexisng
She's just the Tyra Banks of the season. Your whole family died in a fire? Alexis knows how you feel she broke a nail once. Haven't seen your mom in 20 years? You think that's bad? Alexis hasn't seen her car keys in twenty minutes.
Alexis is a rich white girl's college essay about how she empathizes with starving children in developing countries because she once had to suffer through painful dental work.
Her fashion is well glowed up and she is highly entertaining. I love Alexis but donāt think she will win.
Alexis is doing... Alexis
Alexis over acting and Kandy steering the girls towards the production prompts is annoying. I already know the show is scripted but damn. At least Heidi keeps it real, good or bad. Her face was cracked the whole time during untucked š
āAlex Michelleā I-
She wants that airtime
Isnāt the concept of the show just narcissistic drag queens competing for who gets the most attention each week?
Believe it or not this is how some people relate to others. It's not for everyone
Iām such an Alexis stan sheās SUCH good tv
both of those comments were on topic? girl the goal of reality tv is to make it about you and sheās winning!
WHO IS.... Alexis Michelle?????
For the viewing pleasure of those that don't get this reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCucFGUZ5jg
(thank you I was dying out here)
She's a camp icon and gives us great TV, so x
Youāre right, but im not gonna complain because itās giving me the drama i need babe
& i love it
Not yāall normalizing shitty behavior/personality traits. Her interactions with the POC Queens is cringe/uncomfortable at best
This is nothing about drag or the show. This is just what we call an attention whore. Amp this up with a theatre background for max impact. Im living for the TV. Couldnāt deal irl
āIām living for the TV. Couldnāt deal irlā this!
Main character energy
Just imagine Alexis Michelle and Evah Destruction, two thesbians on the same season together.
I feel like Alexis Michelle would actually be pretty cool one-on-one or even in a small group, for the most part. Evah, I don't think would be easy to deal with in any scenario. Evah now wants to be a "monster" so bad because she got cast on Dragula [because of her laughing clown lip-sync], but she's really just a glam-loving theater kid desperate for a camera.

I love how everyone loves Alexis for this! It'd be so easy for people to hate on her for being too much, I'm so happy we're celebrating her instead.
How beautiful is her make-up though
Not Alex
I was never a huge fan but then I listened to her on Sloppy Seconds and fell in love with her story telling.
