Dela I have to say thank you so much for giving such a reasonable response being a drag queen. It was extremely disheartening how cisgender gay men were silencing trans oppression by telling us to get over it and not be so sensitive. Thank you for being aware of our struggles, and realizing that working together as a community is as easy as giving respect.
Ben this video and your answer to the whole 'shemail' issue made me so happy. I'm currently working on a video where i'm illustrating one of your looks and Ive been hesitant about it because of this whole fiasco. But you really have proven to me that I'm right when I say you're my favorite queen this season. It makes me, as a trans woman, really happy when i see drag performers get it. It really does. Thank you! I wrote a blog about it, if you're interested: katblaque.tumblr.com/post/82726733206/ladyboy-shemale-and-rupaul
I am so ridiculously impressed with you in general, but these videos in particular are such great insights into how brilliant and what a nice person you are. Keep it up!
Wish you made it farther in the race Dela! You were my favorite season 6 queen! You weren't the oldest but you showed the most emotional maturity out of the bunch. I wish more queens were more like you!
I had asked a more direct question about "Faux Queens" and I am so glad you're so cool about it! Some people get so unreasonably upset about it. It's an art form for all!
Bendelacreme, you are just so amazing. You are one of my favorite queens ever. Your personality is contagious, which I love. I keep asking my local club to book you and I will keep asking until we get you. Hugs and kisses!!
"Do you know how to cook lots of love from California." *(dela)* "No, I don't know how to cook 'lots of love from California', but I'm guessing you would want some other puncuation." OMG I'M DEAAADD PHAHAHAHA
Dela, my love, could you please make a tutorial of how you do your lovely makeup? It's always so perfect and beautiful, just like you! (Inside and out!)
Miss Creme, you're so sweet, talented and true to yourself. I thought it was a real shame that you weren't part of the final 3 on this season of drag race, but I look forward to seeing you on All Stars 2! Hope your life is happy and full of love.
Hi there! I just wanted to say thanks for this video. Dragcon is coming up in about a month and I was really conflicted about how to dress. I go to several other conventions each year (AX, SDCC, ALA, etc.) and always cosplay. To me, dressing up makes the event much more fun and allows me to flex my costuming skills. So, I really wanted to dress up for Dragcon- but was scratching my head as to if it was appropriate, considering I'm a girl. Since I think this is the first year of Dragcon so I couldn't find any previous year pictures to gauge 'expected attire'...... I'm rambling. Anyhoo, your video really made me feel better about dressing up. Can't wait for the con! Thanks so much. Your turtles rock. They are indeed, awesome pets. Hope you'll be at the con!
Aww I didnt have much luck with my questions but with 500 you had I understand :D So happy this is back, I really admire both Ben and Dela equally and this video was everything from the genious explanation about your name, your view on transexual slurs and your cutie patootie turtle. cant wait for the next one! ♥
I LOVE YOU BEN! So far one of the only Drag Race queens to actually bring some brains to the whole trans issue... Along with Willam, who simply said he'd rather not speak on things that don't apply to him. It makes me so sad every time I see another one of my idols tell trans women they're being "too sensitive..." RuPaul, Sharon Needles, now Bianca Del Rio...
I love you, my grammar Queen! You are unpredictable, and smart as hell. Your turtle names are hilarious! BUT! Most importantly, you had important things to say and I admire that bunches. Love to you! I wish you hadn't been voted off, but I hear you got Miss Congeniality.
Someone shared this on reddit for the drag lingo response! You should put the topics into the description so more people can find it. Your response is very honest and influential. Also enjoyed meeting your turtle and I love their names lol.
you are so awesome and intelligent dela! your turtle is adorable and i laughed out loud at 'salmonella jones'. it's really awesome to see a queen who's educated on trans issues. i hope to see lots more from you this season!
WOW, This is the closest you can get to Miss RuPaul herself. Your insight in life is so evolved and inspiring. Thank you for reminding us that there is kindest and courage in our humanity when we let go =) (equals parenthesis) ^^^ haha
They do the whole song and they edit it down to the 1.5 minutes we see. Mimi Imfurst and Detox both said that. When they film, each episode takes like 2 LONG 14 hour days on set to film and we only see 42 mins of like 20 something hours of footage. There's a lot we don't see!
omg!!!! i loove that u have aquartic turtlesss!! i had like 4 of them! i miss them!! i loooove turtlesss!! ben de la creme i love u! ur such a wonderful person!! i looove how u r!! 💖💖
This might be more of a Ben question (sorry id it is) but I have a few friends who struggle with depression and cutting and I don't know what to do how can I help them especially if I'm not happy with myself?
