In the latest installment in the RuPaul's Drag RaceUniverse, the queens go to Vegas. In a new series VH1 takes us inside RuPaul's Drag Race: Live, the enterprise's Vegas residency. And while we certainly get rehearsal footage and backstage drama from that, the new series also gives a glimpse into the personal lives of the queens that we didn't anticipate.
If you ever wanted a Real Housewives of RuPaul's Drag Race, RuPaul's Drag Race: Vegas Revue is as close as you're going to get for now. When the featured queens --that's Kameron Michaels, Asia O'Hara, Vanessa Vanjie Matteo, Yvie Oddly, Derrick Barry, and Naomi Smalls -- aren't rehearsing, they are communing with and talking about their boos. And while for Michaels that means being on Facetime to talk with her New York man Andre (not boyfriend, just man as the two haven't settled on a title yet) for Barry it's giving IRL vibes. Barry, and her two partners, all live in Las Vegas. In a new bonus clip from the show posted to social media, we get to know the group a little more ... intimately.
\u201c\u2b50\ufe0f #DragRaceVegas BONUS CLIP \u2b50\ufe0f \n\nThe Queens kiki in their green room, and learn more about Derrick's relationship! \u2764\ufe0f\u201d— RuPaul's Drag Race (@RuPaul's Drag Race) 1598454001
While on the series the throuple is involved with a little drama, in the new clip it's all love. Barry opens up about how she met her partners: first came Nick San Pedro who he met in 2005, a year after moving to Vegas for An Evening a La Cage, and then came Mackenzie Claude, known to some as Nebraska Thunderf*ck. Before you ask, yes, Claude is the drag daughter of Alaska, who put him into drag for the makeover challenge on season five of Drag Race. Collectively, the triad has been together for eight years.
"I love my life and I think my life is pretty cool," Barry says in the bonus clip. "Throuples are the new thing!"
In the clip, her Drag Race sisters quiz her about the details -- specifically the bedroom details. What we've learned? It helps to be flexible!
