Brad. So excited that you're here.
This show is so exciting to finally have been created.
Let's talk about the real friends of We hope. Yes.
How did you get involved in this project?
Well, I um you know,
was asked if I wanted to participate and then
obviously I submitted a tape and you know,
a few months later I got the call that they were starting to
cast it and that I was one of the people they wanted.
So
I thought about it and Gary was like, do the show and
yeah, and I was like, okay, I'm gonna give it a go.
So is this the gay housewives that we've always sort of wanted?
We've all we all watched the housewives thinking, oh, these are amazing women,
but we've never really sort of had a gay version of this.
Yeah, I mean,
I think there's obviously like comparisons that will be made because of the format,
but I also think there are elements of that in it.
But this show also is like,
we're telling a lot of our stories as gay men and you know how that bonds us together.
Also learning a lot about each other in the process, which is, you know,
the heart of the show.
I mean, there's funny, there's fun, there's drama,
but there's also a lot of really good storytelling as well.
You mentioned your husband Gary Geneti,
the writer and producer and that he was totally okay with you doing this.
I mean, is it weird with the cameras in the house with you and Gary,
is there ever a moment?
You're like, God,
I wish the cameras were never here while I'm like in the bathroom or anything?
No, because you'll see that there's a lot of like
cooking, baking
and we're in the kitchen a lot during the show.
So does it follow Gary on his Starbucks adventures? It does not. Gary.
Gary is a very good uh co star on this. That's great. We love Gary. I read his last book.
It was so funny. Yeah, he's been here with you. Yes, he has.
So, the other cast members on this,
you got Todd recalling this Curtis Hamilton's just to name a few.
Are you, were you friends with these people before the show started?
Did you know any?
Yeah, I knew of Todd rick. I'd never met him before.
I like, loved his music and obviously knew him from his videos and drag race.
So I got to know him on camera.
And Curtis Hambleton.
We had like, criss crossed at the gym, but never really hung out together.
Um So, you know the show is, I knew of most of these guys,
but it's really us getting to know each other in real time in front of cameras.
Now when you anybody looked at your social media from your Tiktok to your instagram.
It's so funny because you do all these great housewives impersonation. So good.
Is there one housewife in particular that you enjoy Impersonating the most.
So, there's actually two. My two faves are lisa rinna?
and my other one is Kyle Richards.
So you're very much Beverly Hills, very Beverly Hills. I do.
I like Dorinda as well as Dorinda is very expressive.
Are you devastated about Reena not being on the show anymore?
Now I am, you know, I think it's it's like very big shoes to fill.
But I'm really happy for her that she's, you know,
continuing on to work on rent a beauty and do
all the great things that are happening for her.
Obviously in addition to being on television, you're a superstar stylist.
You've done this forever.
You dressed stars like Sarah, highland Kaley cocoa as well.
You dress both of them I think at the Critics choice Awards the other day.
What's more sort of difficult here navigating the drama of this show
or navigating these amazing looks for these women on the red carpet.
Cause that's a lot of pressure to listen. It's so easy to answer though.
Navigating the drama on the show really.
Yeah, because the dresses are really, especially for these women, it's a big deal.
Yeah, Kayleigh and Sarah are such a dream.
I've been working with both of them for a very long time.
And you know, it's like a very well oiled machine.
The machine of the real friends of we hope like gets
well oiled but there are definitely some bumps along the way.
In addition you're a drudge on Canada's drag race as well.
I just watched Canada versus the World, which was so good and I think it ended very,
very well.
But what do you think about all these Tiktok queens that are now on the show?
I was just talking to Carson Kressley about this recently.
It's almost like the club queens of when we were getting growing up. They're gone.
It's all about the Tiktok queens now. I, I mean, I love it.
I think it's the way that things kind of evolve.
I think, you know,
it can be challenging for them once they get
onto the show because the challenges are difficult.
They're not easy.
Um, I have been following sugar and spice for quite some time on Tiktok.
So I was happy to see them on the show and excited to see their journey.
