Trixie Mattel: Uncensored and Uncut | Fast Company 

look at that biological woman with her daytime make-up 😍

The interviewer is so good here. He's patient, doesn't butt in or talk over his guest, and if trixie seems stuck on a question he helps her out. So rare to see.

I'm like genuinely so emotional over the fact that she's acknowledging her lesbian fans like considering how focused on male gays drag tends to be, this really means so much to me idek

I'm more than a little amazed that as a middle-aged gay man who was raised by NYC drag queens, I'm witnessing an era where a queen in a hot pink wig is being interviewed seriously by a major mainstream business publication. Let's take a moment to appreciate that little miracle. And for good reason: Tracey is a freakin' mogul.

Noone: Talking about how amazing this interview is Everyone: THISSS LIGHTING IS TERRIBLE

Giving us high school guidance counsellor realness

The way she talks about Katya...it just melts my heart, it feels like they're family. They both deserve so much love and good in life. Queens.

Trixie Mattel is one smart cookie: informed, articulate, quick-witted, funny, interested, always interesting. A terrific interview, helped by an interviewer who asked good questions then shut up, giving his subject the chance to shine.

He's insanely well spoken. Not many are able to translate their thoughts like that as well as adding humour. MY president

"mostly gay women" made my heart so soft

The editors of UNhhh are equally the stars of that show.

The interviewer is excellent, so relaxed and natural but genuinely insightful and adapting his questions with each answer. Superb content.

“A lot of women like me” Me: hair flip Trixie: “a lot of gay women too” Me: bigger hair flip

“I have a girl cry in my arms everyday” I was once that girl

The amount of homophobia within the lighting department... far too much...

I love a drag queen that is a real gender clown. I've always appretiated that Trixie doesn't try to embody femininity, and instead embodies and mocks feminine stereotypes. She brought that up when talking about her female fan base/pink merch and I stan.

I really do think they need to do shows on suicide and other mental illness. As an attempted suicide survivor, I think it would actually be very healing for Trixie and Katya to put a hilarious spin on it. It needs to be talked about and I think they would be the perfect people to approach it without judgement and make an opening perspective.

My mom trixie with her all naturale lip balm tinted moisturizer make up look. 💖

I knew Katya is a recovering addict but had no idea she was struggling recently & so much that she decided to go to rehab. My heart goes out to her & I see shes back now but I hope she really is doing well. Being an addict is hard but I believe in Katya & hope she does well!

Trixie looks like a high school councilor who is also an avon lady that will not leave your house until you buy something

I know she might roll her eyes at this, but I'm so glad Trixie exists.

Screw the admittedly hideous lighting this is the best interview I've ever seen in my entire life, not just Trixie but a skilled interviewer who brought out the best in her.

This interviewer is so great! Generally interested by what Trixie had to say, understood her jokes, but also knew how to keep the conversation going.

9:43 "I just saw RuPaul recently and he was like, 'You're doing things no one's ever done, not even me.' And then he said, 'Get the hell out of my house.'"

C'mon guys....learn how to light a drag queen.

The best interview with Trixie ever.

This was Trixie's best interview she has ever given. Bravo!

This lighting is homophobic

I love her switching between calling katya brian and katya 😭😍

I see Trixie is rocking natural soft make up today

Interviewer: Is there anything you two *want* to talk about, but can't? Trixie: 😀 SUICIDE

Even though I am not the biggest Trixie fan, I do love learning more about the man behind the character. Also, I definitely agree with him when comes to putting a stop to the idea that being a drag queen is a result of a bad upbringing, trauma, or neglect.

Ok, that’s how you carry an interview. Loved the way he did it.

trixie is constantly improving and evolving mentally, emotionally, and physically ♡

Stay close to the candles, the light technician can be treacherous Barbara....

“I am my people” is transcendent.

This interview is transcendent. Very pleased with the repertoire between the two people. Great questions, great dialogue.

i can't wait to watch this documentary!!! what a great interview.

24:40 -- "If I ever become single again, I can't have anyone over for hookups because I have a pink bedroom full of Barbie Dolls". -- The Pink Barbie Doll

28:35 “if somebody wants you, make sure they can ONLY call you.” we Stan a transcendent Queen

Me: just one more video before I go to bed.. (Watch this interview) Me : that is one of the best interview about Trixie I had ever watched so far...

“I feel like I did something with my life” Wow. I want to relate to that so badly ❤️

Look at my mom with her clear mascara and slick of vaseline on the lips natural look ❤😍

Category is: lighting by a heterosexual person

Polly blend is an awesome drag name.

Real talk with Truckstop Motel.

The mainstreaming of drag is a double edged sword. Drag through the lens of the straight world helps to create acceptance and the queens are recognised as the stars they are but it also means Drag becomes Disneyfied, sanitised and cleaned up for straight sensibilities. So much so that a lot of Drag is basically cross dressing whilst performing at a Kid's Birthday Party. It's the gentrification of culture. Trixie is really good at walking that fine line, her shows are still dark and edgy but she can also garner mainstream appeal. However, it seems like people are turning on her now with the whole racial jokes from the Haters Tour fiasco. It's a shame. The whole thing is a bit of a microcosm of Gay life in general, as we gain more acceptance and gay people lead hetero-normative lives, we kind of have to sacrifice a large part of our culture.

this was such an honest and great interview i loved it!! thank you so much

"I am my own people, and my primary employee is pretty disappointing."

Honestly if they did a 10 part segment on UNHHHH, each episode on mental illness so it can be like anxiety, body dysphoria, depression, suicide ect that would be great. Also someone with a list of mental illnesses I love when people joke about it, not make fun of it but make it lighter because it's so heavy that it's a nice break when people aren't so stoic

The part about Paris is Burning and how people died by then really struck home

The fact that Trixie called Katya ‘Brian’ and ‘he’ shows how personal it it. It wasn’t about drag and business, it was personal

7:30 never once in my life I have thought that I'd be so proud of a complete stranger's success but here I am, crying, because Trixie has worked so hard and accomplished so much, and she knows it and is proud of herself, and others know it and appreciate it too, and I'm just so happy for her and this makes absolutetely no sense but yeah.

Pink hair, pink suit jeffree is quaking

Trixie is amazing at giving good concise answers and this guy is a great interviewer asking good questions

everyone is focusing on the lighting and i'm just there thinking that this whole interview was truly PRECIOUS.

Trixie’s nose is the straightest thing about her in this interview and i’m so proud.

God, he is SUCH a brilliant businessman! 🔥

I’ve always liked Trixie. Since that bearded runway look on S7, idk something about it was so beautiful for me. I’ve watched like every Unnhhh episode and I’ve always liked her as a drag queen. But this interview made me realize how much of a genuinely wise person Trixie actually is. It really showed me how like everyone else, Brian is a person making a living doing something he’s proud of. Trixie shares some generally great life and business tips. Her perspective on some things like make-up, mental health and her past felt really liberating to hear and along with her genuine care for Katya it really shows how much of a strong individual is actually behind all of the drag. On top of that, this interview and interviewer was amazing.

Tracy Martel, you are a star. I love her honesty and Brian/Katya being open about issues many of us face is commendable. ❤️

pink one is so terrify

This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched. Congrats to you guys and especially Brian/Trixie! You are truly an amazing entertainer/singer/drag queen/anything you want to be! We can really feel it all comes from the heart, can’t wait to see the movie 💕

*Me hearing Brian (Trixie) call Katya Brian makes me sort of uncomfortable in a good way.*

I never thought that I would seek business tips from a drag queen. There were actually some good tips in the video

The guy asking questions is so respectful and amazingly good... calm, soft spoken and lets trixie take the centre piece... timid and yet makes the interview so insightful... good job

I think trixie is so smart and has so much to say about the world she’s in, and it’s a huge part of what makes me love her

Willam would be pressed by this lighting.

One of the most legendary drag queens since Rupaul. Period.

OMG she is actually so introspective and intelligent. Love Trixie even more now.

Honestly an iconic snap shot of Trixie being over all of it but also embracing her stardom. Can we chat about all the shady season 7 clips!?

Uhhhuhhh is my fave! It brightens up my darkest days! Love you Trixie! Cant wait to watch the Doc!!

“Just drink your vodka soda and calm down.”😂😂😂😂

The interviewer is so cute enjoying Trixie's talking and making jokes.

Honestly brought to tears hearing trixie talk about katya

I'm so proud of Trixie, she's come so far... It's a feeling rivaled only by my hate for this lighting

Awesome interview. The interviewer asked such great questions with impeccable timing and pacing.

"uncensored" is right! God that lightning is homophobic

LOL @ "We don't want your kids. They don't go out, we don't know them."

So nice of Trixie to do an interview with a small media company that can afford only one good light

I can't believe I actually watched this whole thing. Actually, I can, it's Trixie. She could never bore anyone.

IM LATE BUT THE FACT THAT MIZZ TRIXIE JUST COMPLIMENTED WOMEN SO MUCH!!! WE STAN THIS ANGEL

This interviewer is adorable and so good at asking the right questions

Trixie speaks so well, she really does. She actually makes made me cry in this interview. I really love her and Katya and can relate to Katya’s problems in a big way and I just love them both and Trixie is such a good friend and loving to Katya

This 30 minute interview made me so emotional. I can't imagine how the documentary will make me feel

This interview was amazing I like how comfortable he was and how raw it is, honestly so much more honest

This interviewer is hitting every question sooo well 👌👌 absolutely highlighting everything awesome about Trixie and her career. Props to you bro

“Tracy Martel” 😂 is so quick-witted, genuine and funny. I love watching her interviews and show so much. Well-deserved success!

Trixie is amazing. She really is sooo business savvy. She deserves all the success she is getting! Great interview!

Can we talk about her outfit..... It’s great 10/10

I thought trixie's contour darker this time but, THE LIGHTING SJSKSJSKKSJSKS SHE'S DISAPPEARED AND NEVER CAME BACK

I so loved Trixy and Katya together. It’s chemistry, how they bounced off one another, timing...and they r both beautiful.

We we're Squirtle.....& then we we're Warturtle.....& now we're Squirtle again *trixie laugh* Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhahahahahhhh!!!!! This is why I love you mama, that is the exact perfect description of Uuhhnn!!! I could cry just watching this I know I'll ball 😭😭😭 when I see the actual documentary

Trixie gives truly superior content. Her comedy, music, and interview answers are always smart and honest. She's a person of dimension and substance.

everything you ever need to know about Tracy is accessible in the library of UNHhhh and yes I agree THIS LIGHTING IS A READ 😩 Edit: spoke too soon, today I learned Ru Paul gave a real compliment to someone from Drag Race for the first time. Okay! Edit 2: I cannot be more grateful for how much she has come to learn and understand the difficulties that addicts face. It must have been so difficult for her, but when she says Brian couldn’t ask for help because nobody really talks about it, she spoke to me - she’s entirely right. Katya is such an important person in the world and to resist the urge to get annoyed or upset and strive to understand her instead is such a caring move. I love this. And I needed it.

I love trixie, she speaks so eloquently, an educated queen, we are here for it !

Im so proud of this pink lady💖💖💖

I LOVE Trixie. So down to earth and real with people. She's hilarious and she's honest about the things she likes and doesn't like!

How did I not know about this?????? I absolutely can not wait for this!!! I will pay whatever to watch this!!!

This, this is why Trixie is my favorite drag queen.
