Transformative magic will happen tonight on TLCs Dragnificent! thanks to the hard work, attention to detail, and listening skills of the shows four fairy godmothers.
The TLC series is a bit of a weeper as we learn about Amys journey, which has been beset by ridicule and condemnation. She did the hard work and lost an enormous amount of weight, but the emotional scars from the days when she was heavier are still with her.
Its true what they say; words can hurt more than sticks and stones, so do not kid yourself. People hold on to the mean things said to them, and its hard to move past it.
But help is on hand for Amy as our fearless foursome help her recover.
In Dragnificent, the four drag queens each bring their unique skill set to help out.
They each focus on fabulous fashion (JujuBee), music and entertainment (Thorgy Thor), event planning (BeBe), and makeup and body image (Alexis Michelle).
And together, they wield their powers for good as one woman per episode is gifted their friendship and advice, along with some powerful psychological lifting up.
In our exclusive clip above, meet Amy, a mother who has undergone a huge transformation.
Her daughter Courtney got hold of the Queens for the intervention to help boost her mothers flagging confidence.
Amys story was so compelling that at the Television Critics Association winter tour held in Pasadena, where Monsters & Critics participated, the queens dished about this very episode airing tonight while on the panel.
When asked how they chose different types of people to help out, Alexis Michelle said: Lets take Amywe fell in love with Amy, and Amys a subject who lost 130 pounds. So it was a weight-loss episode, if you will, making her feel like a butterfly in her new body.
The foursome had their work cut out for them.
Michelle added: And when we met her, she was riddled with depression and anxiety. She was very open about this. So it was our job to kind of step out of ourselves, make her really comfortable and feel really special in her own skin because thats such an important story to tellyou never know whos gonna listen, who the audience is.
Michelle continued: Maybe somebodys dealing at home with weight loss and is really inspired by her story, and its good to just scream that story out loud. Live your story out loud, and it doesnt hurt that we look fabulous in every episode.
Jujubee added: She [Amy] found this beautiful part inside of her and that shined through. And I think thats really important for us because when you love yourself, cause love is the highest vibration that any human being can experience, that is the best thing in the world.
In Dragnificent!, the four drag queens mentioned above help a woman each episode who is not used to being fussed over or celebrated.
Whether it is their physical appearance or a set back of some sort, the queens bring their own life experiences bad and good to an active intervention and makeover session.
We can thank Drag Race for JujuBee (Airline Inthyrath), Alexis Michelle (Alex Michaels), BeBe Zahara Benet (Nea Marshall Kudi Ngwa), and Thorgy Thor (Shane Galligan).
