- Drag Race and Eurovision is when the gays get excited,
it's a bit like the world cup.
- Yeah (laughing) it's our Super Bowl!
(upbeat music)
- All right babes, it's Bimini Bon Boulash
and I'm here with Lawrence Cheney
and we're going to play slap or drag with BuzzFeed UK.
- Ooh, slap or drag!
(laid back music)
- Oh, right.
Virtual drag, virtual gigs.
Being a drag queen, anyway it's tough
because you've got to look amazing at every angle
which me and Bimini always do.
- Always.
- You add virtual on top of that.
You have to be your director.
You've got to be your videographer.
You've got to be the sound person.
You've got to be the executive producer.
You've got to be all of this and the star of it.
And you've got to make the track.
So it's a whole lot of faff.
- Yeah, there's only so much
you can see me at the corner of my bedroom,
trying to do something.
- There's only a certain amount of time
we can see you on a chair upside down in your garden.
- It's not the same as kind of vibing with an audience.
- We're just trying to make ends meet,
trying to perform in the corner of our bedroom
with like, candle light.
You know, we've not got any fancy set up.
So it's total drag.
Drag! - Drag.
(laid back music)
Girl groups.
I think girl groups slap.
- Yeah.
I think definitely girl groups, slap.
And we're not just saying that
because we're part of a hit girl grip, ourselves, no.
- We're the hottest girl group on the block.
- Pussycat Dolls wish they were the United King Dolls.
They wish!
- Girls Aloud who?
- You get to see so many different personalities
and so many different people in one group.
There really is someone for everyone.
You know, we all relate to at least one member
of a girl group.
- I kinda missed the whole boy band craze.
It was all about girl bands for me.
And I think Spice Girls obviously being a massive one.
And then not only do they have great bops and pop music
but they also bring the fashion
which is always exciting to see.
- Boy bands and boy groups are a bit like
we're wearing a shirt!
- Yeah. - And you know, whereas like
Cheryl Cole's in the corner there with a bit of chiffon
throwing it about.
- Wind machine blowing. - Yeah, exactly,
they're giving it the fantasy and I think as drag queens
we really relate to that, so
definitely girl groups slap. - Slap!
(laid back music)
- Now I love anything that's bottomless.
So if you stick a brunch in there, obsessed.
I would say, brunch for me, a bottomless brunch...
- Brunch!
- They're just a lot of fun to be part of,
and I've done many a bottomless brunch
and I've DJ'd or I've performed at them
and there's certain songs that come on,
the girls go, the huns go wild.
- That quintessential brunch with the huns.
That are there getting absolutely wasted beyond belief.
You know I love performing at a brunch,
everyone's there to have a good time,
everyone's fed so no one's angry.
- Getting smashed by 1 PM, who doesn't love that?
- Even when I'm not performing at them,
I do love a bottomless brunch, so.
Definitely slaps.
(laid back music)
- I've not had any PR packages
so if anyone does want to send me one!
(laughing)
- Liar!
- I think it's always nice to be appreciated by
brands and if they like what you're doing and they
send you gifts, I mean, who doesn't love gifts?
- To quote one of my idols, Big Ang,
"I want my presents.
I need my presents."
I like, I love being rewarded for absolutely nothing.
- When you said what your idol said,
I thought you were gonna say something that I said.
But it's Big Ang.
- (laughing) Not yet, not yet.
So PR packages slaps, and below you will find our addresses,
please send them.
(laid back music)
- I mean, I did invent veganism seven years ago, so,
I would say vegan cheese is getting to the point
where it's starting to slap, but it's not fully there yet.
- I tried recently a vegan mac and cheese
and to me, it was beautiful!
The vegan cheese was just glorious.
So I say it slaps!
- I think a lot of the actual things you get in supermarkets
isn't as good as a lot of takeaway places or restaurants.
But I would say it's definitely getting to slap material.
Ready for a back hander.
- (laughing) Yeah, right, ready for one swift backhander!
(laid back music)
- Slaps 'cause we're in it!
- Yeah! (laughing)
We listened to recently, we listened to all the songs,
we were wondering oh, wait, are we going to play,
will we be in this?
And it was so cool listening to all these amazing artists
so it slaps!
I couldn't stop boppin'!
- It just took a real iconic song for me to get
that radio back on.
- And what is that iconic song?
- It's called UK Hun!
Performed, sung, and rapped and lyrics
by the United King Dolls!
- Are you 'K', hun?
I'm kind of struggling, yeah. - Kind of struggling.
- Slaps, definitely.
(laid back music)
- Eurovision will slap even more when we do it!
(laughing)
- Eurovision's the perfect combination of
fabulous costumes, over the top theatrical performances,
and like boppy cheesy catchy songs.
I love it.
- Drag Race and Eurovision is when the gays get excited,
it's a bit like the world cup.
- It's our world cup, yeah. - It's our world cup.
Eurovision slaps.
- Slappage and boppage.
- So I've been Bimini, I'm one of the members
of the United King Dolls,
and you can catch me on Instagram
or you can catch me on Twitter at Biminibabes,
but also you can catch me in the Top 40
with our hit single, UK Hun!
- And you can find me on Instagram
and all social media at Lawrencechaney.
And Shadylawrence on Twitter.
Don't forget that.
I'll tweet you back, I'll do anything,
I'll do anything, just keep us in the Top 40!
- Keep streaming.
- Keep streaming and keep dreaming.
