Jinkx Monsoon & BenDeLaCreme On Their Show, "All I Want for Christmas is Attention"

BenDeLaCreme and Jinkx Monsoon are back in an all new two-queen holiday extravaganza show, "All I Want for Christmas is Attention." DeLa is all sugar and Jinkx is all spice - but how do these two very different gals deal with the stress of the holidays? A little song, a lot of eggnog and theaters full of people looking at them. Yup - all they want for Christmas is attention!

Jinkxi’s laugh gives me life every time, even in dry interviews like this. And Bendela’s sweetness always reaches my heart. Virgo-Libra productivity is nourishment for my soul.

[@RaymondHng]

7:26 Oooh that laugh. Should be a ring tone.

[@jul2447]

They are both sweet

[@victoriamorgan7188]

Yeah to be honest, Jinkxy is the sweetest Virgo I think I've ever seen lol

[@helora1039]

That audience is DEAD

[@Hakaslas]

Wait, there was an AUDIENCE??

[@beatnickblanket]

The interviewer is bland as refried beans on toast, so that didn't help.

[@madisonnew7396]

I'm pretty sure there isnt an audience, just crew. When one of them says "in front of an audience like this" it's super sarcastic, possibly indicating there very few people in the room

[@beatnickblanket]

@@madisonnew7396 There is an audience. They literally go to the audience towards the end and have audience questions. I guess if you bothered to watch the entire video you'd know that.

[@OliverHeikkinen]

There isn't a mic for them so you can't hear them at all

[@NunyaBiznez2010]

Jinkxy should never be embarrassed about the things she said on drag race. That's the person we all fell in love with. ❤

[@candywarhol2052]

We NEED Jinkx on all stars or all winners whatsoever. she has grown so much and had so much more to offer.

[@eyi030693]

Honey, she has nothing to prove. She already won

[@candywarhol2052]

I know. But I personally wanna see more of her, because I think she deserve more opportunity to shine at least once more.

[@angli3865]

yes, SHE HAS GROWN A LOT

[@weirdone925]

Facts

[@chloepappas2106]

i agree! but we cant have a all winners season because Tyra has quit drag and isnt on good terms with Ru. so 😭

[@garydemesa8002]

2 of the most legendary queens in RPDG history.... l just love bendela and jinxxx..... funny how they remind me of kelly clarkson and jennifer hudson... one won drag race and the other didnt... and yet they both have the same superstar status equally.......

[@MikanBaldmiki]

gary demesa Jennifer and Kelly are SO slept on. These basic becky’s and twinks don’t even know who they are unfortunately. Jenifer and Kelly can sing their favs under the table anyday. Especially Jennifer, girls got PIPES.

Everyday Jinkx strays closer and closer to becoming Edina Monsoon and I'm so proud to see it

[@julz3tt3]

Yaaaas Edina is brilliant darling, sweetie... Xxx

[@daas3715]

Omg Ur so fucking right... !!! LaCroix darling LaCroix

[@Russkivol]

Jinkx would take that as a high compliment.

[@sheldonhatch8255]

@Zowie Brown good point. Much like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Leagues measures horizontal distance from point A to point B. Fathoms measure depth. 20,000 Fathoms is the correct terminology. The same way you cannot "Stray Toward" something.

[@ashleyredsheep]

4:26 I love how when she makes that expression, her eyeliner just elongates 😂

[@nopilikia56]

Seattle's most iconic and beloved queens...!!! Love them both ❤❤❤

[@RosieBrownie]

Jinkx is so brave and inspiring to me for talking about the topic of the (VERY) _underlying misogyny_ that actually exists within the queer entertainment business (and actually, just in general.) SUCH role models are hard to find these days, that's why I love Jinkx with all my heart. *THANK YOU* for standing up for the trans/non binary community as well! 😊👏 *We are so grateful for everything you've done and continue to do for us, and for the world, Jinkx!!* 😙❤💚

[@samborley5402]

DeLa is in a relationship with a trans man.

[@RosieBrownie]

@@samborley5402 *Thank you SO much for noting this!* 😊👍 🏳️‍⚧️ I'm sorry if I made it seem like I don't value BenDeLa at all, I've always just looked up so so much to Jinkx ever since before Drag Race, and I relate to them in soo many ways... 😕🌈 BenDeLa is one of the sweetest queens out there for sure, no doubt. I love them both! 😊

[@joeychen7306]

I love how genuine and respectful they are with and for each other. They never once talk over the other, and the things they say never came across as ingenuine. You can tell just by this interview alone that they are very wise and they have an interesting take on the world and how they should perform. I love these combination so much! And yeah the host is very cute too. Haha

[@s0yella146]

Jinkx is my favorite queen. I love her so much.

[@joshuarodriguez1262]

i just want ben, jink, bob and monet to sit in a room and create the greatest drag show the world has ever seen.

[@samborley5402]

Throw in Jujubee and I'm there.

[@SabrinaHawk]

Yes I am starved for that

[@notenoughsoup]

this is why Jinkx is my absolute favorite Queen

[@theOstenHugo]

Isabelle ohemgee Jinkx is definitely one of my favorite queens who has snatched the DragRace crown !!! second to Bob x Monet!! i rooted for her that entire season just bc she was so underrated x such the under dog especially with all those heavy hitters on her season!

[@notenoughsoup]

@@theOstenHugo I agree with 50% of that lol I adore bob to no end but I just dont find anything original or extremely entertaining about Monet, I think she played the game to the best of her ability and she is a funny Queen but I think other queens and winners have more depth to them

[@pattiharvey1787]

Mine too☺

[@d.7416]

What they do is similar to german drag. Here in Berlin drag is mostly theatrical in cabarets. I love them so much 🌷

[@RosieBrownie]

YES!!! 😍👌🎭🎭 Oh God that's EXACTLY why I love them too! ❤

[@PixieBratski]

22:25 is probably my favourite part. Genius!

[@julz3tt3]

I can understand Jinxx not wanting to watch Season 5 again. PTSD. I love how Dela calls out the audience.. 😂😂 The cutest seattle comedy queen golden duo ever!!! ❤️❤️❤️👑👑

[@TiTi-pm4my]

I'm so excited, I could cry! It'll be my first time seeing 2 of my most favorite queens in person, I must go to this show!!

[@stephanieroberts1157]

Both are adorable and two of my fav queens of all time.. such charming personalities.

[@RosieBrownie]

*Two amazing, artistically TALENTED and absolutely gorgeous theatre-queens!!* ❤💚🎭🎭 This is the kind of friendship I always wanted to find. Jinkx and Bendela are so lucky to have each other!! Also, this production I'm sure is going to be *F R E A K I N G A M A Z I N G* I mean, just hear the sound of that name "All I want for Christmas is attention." Nothing but perfection👏 I'm wishing them all the best, my role models are going to take the world by storm this Holiday season, I'm sure! 💃💋

[@julz3tt3]

Omg the Drew Barrymore is perfect. Jinxx is truly iconic 😍❤️👌 the Judy and Liza switch. Renee only got the role because Jinxx turned it down 😂😂😂👏👏❤️

I'd ask Jinkx to send me that amazing suit (OMG THAT COLOR), but no way would I look as good in it as they do. Dayum.

I dearly hope they tape a best of (like Sandra Bernhard) and make a film. The Christmas sufferers could use it on repeat. And the xmas market is not one to sniff at, darlings... given covid maybe it's also a good move ;-)

It only happens if her mind is unoccupied

[@shiroi201]

I think she once said that it has gotten better over the past few years

I’m a good friend of Jinkx and can say (allegedly) the sleeping was highly exaggerated for the show. The sleeping doesn’t work in the way it was portrayed.
