10 YEARS?! HOLY SHIT

[@Glaubermoledo]

Yeah it make me shooketh too!

[@hamerugumiandthevocaloidfa8654]

CREEP????

[@smileyguy02xP]

This music video was such a gift to me as a young, queer teen. I watched it on repeat, alone in my room - and it let me know that I was going to be just fine 💗

[@AdamWestish]

To have had this twenty years before that...😓

[@cubsmcgee9076]

@@AdamWestish Supermodel was what I had 20 years before it, as a young closeted teen in conservative Utah.

[@BeccaBrodtman]

Me too Bitch! Me too!

[@asianmelb]

Sure it did hahaa

[@AdamWestish]

I'm actually 47 so I realized I came out almost 30 years ago. The gayest thing in 1993 or thereabouts was Madonna. Her "Erotica" album. Going to gay youth group meetings. Marky Mark posing in his underwear. I rode my bike 30 miles to buy that magazine, ha ha ha

[@hammerbrad]

I saw the original video before I ever directed a video in my life. It inspired me to become a director and now we work together and our friends! So, thank you Hot Couture and Manila Luzon! Congrats on 10 years!

[@tiffandrews1097]

Love all your work!

[@hammerbrad]

@UCB2vH-V4vM1Hy8p-oXkOiog No sorry for the confusion, I did Ice Cream, That's a Man Maury, Go Fish, Gay Man, and a couple others. But love this one too! xo

[@RolyWestYT]

Ah this is so good! Still remember hearing the first version back in my early 20’s ❤️

[@PyroBowser]

right. I simultaneously felt genuine nostalgia and age related gay panic. Then I saw the ending and felt at peace ✌🏿 I love Manila

[@antonioangelini5204]

Amen, 10 years ...dang lol, but a epic song like best xxxeccessory as well :)

[@JL0ndon]

@@PyroBowser can we stop using gay panic as meme? Not trying to be rude, but gay panic has literally been used as a defense for people who have murdered gay and trans people. Like the guy from Jenny jones who killed a man for having a crush on him going on TV and then admitting to it. And his lawyer said it was gay panic, and that what he did he was justified. The guy is out of prison now. I totally get using it as a reclaimed word. That’s cool i guess, i just want people to realize it’s still a major problem

[@AlvinaYunoa]

@@JL0ndon omg it’s that bad? 😢😢😢

[@JL0ndon]

@@AlvinaYunoa yeah it’s a pretty wide spread defense ppl use to get off of hurting lgbtq folks. The gay panic defense is used a lot when straight men kill trans women

[@bernardbernardo6862]

[@jordanboy808]

“Let these streets be my runway tonight, in this fashion show called life” helped me through my time in the army and encouraged me to come out and be my best self back in 2012. I can’t believe how time flew.

[@ayembic7933]

big mood... I can still remember my American tumblr friend sending me a sc of this back in 2015 (hunter i'm talking about you if you see this) and it changed my life as a 17 yo gay man with huge internal homophobia.. to see such an loud and cheesy reclamation of what I understood was supposed to be disgusting... it was transcendent and transforming. I was never the same. I now relish in being queer :) It's amazing how much half a generation of gays drew so much strength from this track. Love u manila

[@xQueenTx]

Was the first song I heard from drag race before I even watched drag race. Can imagine my 12 year old confusion over what I was watching and hearing but you bet your ass I fucking strutted like a goddess every time I played it in my room!

[@robertperez4611]

the couture has gotten hotter!!!!!

[@paologerero7987]

I was 17 when Hot Couture first came out and I remember being a closeted teen living with a very conservative family and serving as an altar boy in my local parish. This song helped tide me through some dark times, and when I got bullied at church for being queer, I played this song in my head - particularly when walking towards the altar dressed in my cassock and lace surplice, which were the closest things I could get to a dress back then. 😊

[@myfriendisaac]

Time flies 👀😭👏🏾

[@caviersim3806]

The eyeshadow palette scene had an eyeshadow palette dress and the steam room scene had a towel inspired outfit. She not only understood the assignment, she created, did and marked the assignment herself 😍😍😍 All the lewks were so good, I would not have minded if she saved some coin and did a call back with the Marie Antoinette padded look and heavenly look from all stars 4.
