    Abbey Nights & Petty Delights 🔥💅🌈

    It’s just the girls—Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess—and the energy is chaotic, caffeinated, and just a little bit delusional (the way we like it).

    ✨ This week, Viki introduces a new segment breaking down the highs and lows instead of the usual play-by-play—and honestly? Growth.
    🎤 Ari still hasn’t made it to karaoke at Stonewall (we’re starting to think it’s a myth),
    🌴 and Viki has a full out-of-body moment meeting Doechii at The Abbey. Yes, she levitated. Yes, we have questions.

    💎 Between the Seams (Patreon Exclusive):
    👀 Ari spills drag family drama that is piping hot and mildly incriminating.
    💋 Viki continues her sexcapade saga—this time featuring an influencer and questionable decisions.

    🔥 Flaming Topics:
    🏀 Klay Thompson is acting like a complete fool and the girls are not holding back.
    👑 Madonna pulls up to The Abbey on Saturday…
    💚 …and then Doechii follows it up on Sunday—because apparently that’s where legends clock in now.
    🧙‍♀️ The internet claims Etsy witches are out here putting hexes on Klay, and honestly? The evidence is stacking.
    🎬 The Michael biopic opens to massive numbers, while The Devil Wears Prada 2 starts its marketing rollout—fashion girls, stand UP.

    It’s shady, it’s sweaty, it’s West Hollywood at full volume—and yes, somebody mentioned bedbugs. 🛏️

  • Ep 266: Mother Fu_kn Mary
    Apr 24 2026

    Capitalism, Critiques & C*nty Cinema 💅🔥🎬

    It’s just Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess this week, and the dolls are TIRED. Like, late-stage capitalism is kicking everyone’s ass tired. 💸

    We kick things off talking about work stress, survival mode, and the delusion required to keep showing up to jobs that don’t deserve us. Then we pivot (barely) into travel plans, because if we’re going to suffer, it might as well be somewhere cute. ✈️✨

    Of course, we also get into that RuPaul’s Drag Race finale—and let’s just say… we have notes, complaints, and a few conspiracy theories. 👀

    💎 Between the Seams (Patreon Exclusive):
    This week is EXTRA shady as we go in on the queens we don’t like. No names spared, no feelings protected. If you know, you KNOW.

    Then it’s time for Flaming Topics:

    🎬 Mother Mary gets an early screening courtesy of Viki—and baby… she has thoughts. Are they good? Are they chaotic? You’ll have to listen.
    👑 RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 11 is officially announced, and we’re already preparing our opinions.
    🎤 Mariah Carey gets snubbed (again??), and we are NOT okay.
    🏡 Pink buys a house, Lizzo sells one—real estate is the real celebrity sport.

    It’s shady, it’s stressed, it’s slightly unhinged—and it’s exactly what you needed this week. 🎧💋

  • Ep 265: DJT (Dr. Jesus T.)
    Apr 17 2026

    Karaoke, Chaos & Cult Behavior 🎤🙏🔥

    The trio is BACK—Ari Kiki, Viki Villainess, and DJ—and this week we’re catching up the old-fashioned way: talking mess, telling truths, and laughing through it all.

    📱 Viki has a rude awakening after discovering on social media that… she might not be everyone’s cup of tea. (Shocking. Devastating. Also… expected.)
    🎤 Ari is stepping fully into her era as New York’s Karaoke Queen, booked, busy, and hitting notes and nerves.
    🎙️ And DJ’s mic is choosing violence this episode—specifically aimed at Viki. The tension? Delicious.

    PLUS: We’ve got an extra-long “Behind the Seams” segment over on Patreon for the dolls who want even MORE unfiltered chaos.

    Then it’s time for Flaming Topics:

    😳 Katy Perry gets a little too cozy with Ruby Rose, and the internet has… thoughts.
    🏛️ “DoorDash Granny” somehow makes her way to the White House, because at this point, why not?
    🙏 And in the most unhinged development yet, the rise of “Dr. Jesus T.” (aka Trump) has people praying, praising, and fully leaning into the chaos.

    It’s messy, it’s ridiculous, and it’s everything you come to The Shade Parade for. 🎧💅
