Behind the scene personal look at Mother of the house of Xtravaganza, Carmen's First week in London. UNEDITED

[@darkchocolate100]

She is one of the very few survivors from the "Paris is Burning" era, it's incredible she made it to 50.

[@miarawks]

62 exactly

[@esmeraldgreen5424]

She's on Facebook and she is 60 years old now. Good for her! She is Legendary.

This is an empath! This lady is the most beautiful humble gracious person. I wish I had done a half of the amazing things shes done. Merry Xmas Carmen Extravaganza

[@MySugarWallz]

Carmen, Not only were you always the loveliest, most charismatic lady in the scene - but you always shared a friendly, genuine smile. Thank you! You will always be remembered, valued, and cherished.

[@Broyale26]

I wish I could give her a hug and listen to her talk. I know Carmen has stories for days.

[@rudolfschenker]

Legendary! I would love to sit and chat with Carmen. So many of the children from those days are long gone, but Carmen is still here, and going strong. Amazing how she remembers such details about dates, events and other things. Oh the stories she can probably tell!

I love my mother with all my heart, there will never be another her in my life.

[@nikkistahr7105]

Awww, i am sorry for your loss. I am sending you strength love and encouragement. May god bless you babes

[@JahairasMission]

@@nikkistahr7105 Thank you, but my mother Carmen is still with us!

[@nikkistahr7105]

@@JahairasMission Ohh my, im embarrased and sorry for my missunderstanding. I am so happy to hear that your mother is still with us being fierce as evvvaa!! Having a good mother is such a blessing. I actually lost my biological mother to cancer in my very early twenties, im now 30 and my heart aches for her daily (miss dancing and cracking up with my mom/ best friend but luckily i recently began to smile when i remember her as opposed to crying, thankful to now be in that place). I love and respect everything about LGBTQIA community despite there being some division within, the overall resilience and strength to overcome all obstacles, ability to make lemon into lemoncello, and to keep on loving and living unapologetically.. brought me through some of my darkest days. I do not technically fit into the LGBTQIA by definition but my heart most certainly does. Sis, i wish you a long happy healthy peaceful fun and joy filled life. You continue to hold onto your mother and keep her close because once their gone its the memories that will keep you and hold you tight. XOXO 😍😍😘😘 NIKKI

[@shellyohh5711]

Wig or no wig, I see F-I-S-H baby. I only hope to look that good in five yrs.

[@yeahnahlope]

Ive been watching as many clips of Octavia St Laurent I can. I read that Carmen Xtravaganza was her Mother which I found interesting cuz they weren't of the same House that I knew of. Thanks for this video!!!!!!!

[@WhateverA]

P B omg where did you read this

this is a great video!

[@77justluigi]

Werq Carmen!!!What is that music in the background it's fresh.

[@JudgeHill]

Those lads are so cute

[@boofusdeldooofus]

Untrue. Danni Xtravaganza became the Mother of the House of Xtravaganza following Angie's death in 1993. Angie asked Carmen to be the Mother but Carmen turned her down because she had plans to move to Spain. Danni led the House until his death in 1996. Boom Boom Raquel Xtravaganza became the Mother after Danni's death and held the position until Carmen returned to NYC. Sad that Carmen tried to negate Danni because Danni was Carmen's Mother.

[@jadeebabyy5577]

Yeah? How is she?😃

[@NiteFlirtTS2006]

Funny I was born on 1982 hehe!

[@CRu21]

@Storywithin I hear you. There's a lot of darkness behind a lot of lifestyles. I'm in the club scene so I definitely know how wonderful and at the same time how detrimental it can be. Perhaps I should explain what I mean by "get involved". I may not necessarily want to compete in balls and be 100% involved, plus I'm already involved in a house outside of the ballroom scene, but I would love to learn more of the dancing/vogueing/walking, which to me is beautiful and an art.

[@THEANGELACARRERA]

[@Storywithin]

@CRu21 DON'T BIG MISTAKE IF YOU GET INVOLVED

[@Storywithin]

@CRu21 that sounds great just make sure your doing it for you and make sure you avoid the wrong people and in this scene thier are lots of wrong people don't let these videos fool you i lived it a long time and like i said regret it i was also a club kid i should of just stayed in that scene instead you sound really smart so hopefully you will make the right choices just be carefull

[@Storywithin]

@CRu21 TRUST ME LOTS OF EXPERIENCE AND REGRET ALL OF IT JUST BE YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE THAT WOULD BE THE BEST THING THIER ARE A LOT OF DARK THINGS BEHIND THAT LIFE STYLE YOU DON'T WANT IT!

Rightfully so. Didn't you learn anything from Marilyn's encounter with the one Ms. Bette Davis? Never show your underbelly to a potential rival. You should've glanced, smiled and made an IMPACT. Actions do speak louder than words

[@TheMarapasa]

She is fabulous, allowing herself to be so vulnerable to the world.... she needs some film roles. right?

[@chicagowebguy]

+Andrea Horne Yeah. She could play the Oracle from the Matrix.

Of course! I do things for me, not to be a follower. Thanks for the advice from your experience though.
