SHAPIRO: On the show, Bob and two other drag queens go to small towns and put on a show with locals who get fabulous drag makeovers. And that's in the Bible, as I know you know.īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: Well, that's an assumption. May I read your sign?īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: (Reading) Nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord Your God. Bob has seen that backlash firsthand filming the show 'We're Here.'īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: Hi, I'm Bob.

SHAPIRO: Bob's career has grown alongside the popularity of drag in the U.S., and with it a conservative backlash that has also grown exponentially as more states pass laws that ban gender nonconformity. Bob has a vision.īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: I want a high-waisted maxi skirt with a matching button-up top. SHAPIRO: They make amends and start discussing looks. Who are you following? You following Monet and Trixie, but not me? This is. It don't say follow back.īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: Well, let's see who you are following. SHAPIRO: Bob says, cool, let me follow you on Instagram, and then a horrific discovery - Mimi West is not following Bob the Drag Queen - high drama.īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: It don't say follow back. I love anything with feathers and stones. Mimi is a costume designer and eager to collab. SHAPIRO: Mimi West (ph) clocks him immediately. Not that he's subtle - he's tall, even without the black platform boots he's paired with a denim jumpsuit on this day.īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: Oh, thank you, baby. SHAPIRO: These days, professionals make Bob's outfits, and he gets recognized on the street even out of drag. SHAPIRO: Friends taught him that if he could sew fabric into a tube, then he could make pretty much anything.īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: If you just make a tube, you can make a catsuit.

You know what I mean? And I know that if you want custom clothing and you can't afford it, then you'd better learn how to make it. SHAPIRO: And take us back to that Bob the Drag Queen.īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: I wanted custom clothes, but I couldn't afford any. SHAPIRO: Like, what year would you say was the first time you set foot in here? Shelves lined the walls from floor to ceiling with rolls of fabric in dizzying colors and patterns - sparkles, polka dots, animal prints, neon.īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: This is a store that I've shopped at - I don't want to overexaggerate, but a lot of times - dozens of times. SHAPIRO: In New York's garment district, we met up with Bob the Drag Queen at Spandex House. I mean, I once got, like, so much of this, like, blue crushed velvet, paisley - which sounds horrible, but it was actually really fierce. Not knowing what's inside, but it's fabric (inaudible).īOB THE DRAG QUEEN: And sometimes you get a great bag.
