Whatching these portraits of a queen is very inspiring ✨️
Shannel is a legend. thanks for this
She needs a show! I would so tune in!
I knew she was rich most of her life her working life. There are lots of fakers but Chanel is not one Shanell has $600 sheets lol
Shannel’s dad is stressing me out. Bless her beautiful heart for being strong.
Tell annette come outside we just wanna talk!
It's my third time watching this episode, complete. Why? I don't know how to answer. Shannel has always been a queen that I deeply admired (and many other RuGirls expressed the same feeling) and seeing her tell her story, so emotionally and sincerely really caught me. Your art, your beauty and your work inspire people around the world. Thank you, Shannel!
I’m confused about the father
To have someone as amazing as shannel be the first queen to ever set foot into the doors of drag race us beautiful. She is just such a delight, and honestly i got a bit emotional watching this.
Beautiful

And it is fantastic you proved your a bloomin' star.
So glad a person like you is the first RPDR entrance.

Shannel, you and Ms Bebe were my first queen obsessions. I watched Drag Race from the beginning. You took me up on stage in Vegas for my 40th birthday. And you called me a sexy bitch. A memory I will treasure always. 😍
LOVE LOVE LOVE Shannel. By far one of the Best Queens of the Entire Franchise Nationally & Internationally!!! She's a Global Sensation. PERIOD!.
Shannel should've 100% deserved to be top 3… Honestly she deserved top 2.
🔴🟢🔴
Shannel’s life story is so interesting. I could listen to her stories forever
What a cool person! ❤
I’d love to see all stars 11 or season 20 or something be just the entire cast of season 1. That would be cool to see how far they’ve all come and reintroduce the filtered season to the new audience
A true vision of class❤
Her and Thorgy! I like getting the actual back story. This was fascinating. 22 minutes is not enough!
SHE DESERVES MORE RECOGNITION FOR HER CRAFT 😤

Shannel's Dad sounds like a real piece of work, wow
Shannel. You're beautiful. I bow to your legacies. The live of a stage performer. You're so charismatic, charming and warm up there. And blessings to your mom <3 <3 <3
I love how business minded this Queen is — clearly a hard working and driven individual. I am so inspired 🥰
Shannel is the original star
I was a Shannel fan before but I am an even bigger fan now!
