I'm North Dakota's Trash Queen of Glam, Geek, and Gore, and my channel is all about makeup, artistry, queer stuff, horror movies, vintage toys, social commentary, and more! I'm been performing in drag since 2001 and running my own website, The World of Champagne, since 2012. I started creating video content on YouTube in 2020. I'm just looking to change the world one delightfully queer moment at a time.

Hey friends! Sorry for the late notice, but TONIGHT'S LIVE IS MOVING TO TOMORROW!

They are doing HVAC work on the roof of my office building, and apparently the unit is directly over my head. They have been drilling, pounding, etc., with no signs of stopping for the day.

Since the HVAC has been off all day, it's currently about 85+ degrees in my office, so the last thing I want to do is turn my lights on and paint a face!

I'm hoping that since they are still working, that means that they will finish today, and hopefully the cool air will be back on. If not, we may push to Friday...

I've got my current jewelry inventory listed in a new post on JanessaJaye.com - inventory is getting low and I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to have another crafting day! You can reach out to me on IG or Facebook if you'd like to make a purchase!

And since I'm clearly on a roll, let's post one more thing: a trailer for tomorrow's Vintage Queer Cinema topic, BEAUTIFUL THING! Join us at 7:30pm CST for a discussion of this 1996 film about young love, coming out, and...Mama Cass?!

You should definitely still watch TRICK, but I'm going to share Tori Spelling's zany musical number as well. She really plays up the "bad actress" character in the film, and she's one of my favorite parts of the whole film!

If you missed the livestream where I talked about the movie TRICK, you can find it on my Live tab, but here is one of the musical numbers that we talked about - so cheesy and so fun!

December is my 25th anniversary as a performer. Is there any better way to celebrate than dripping in gold and jewels?

If you want to see these jewels (and more!) in better detail, just search Crystal Smyth on my channel or look for the Crystal Smyth Playlist!

Cleaning out some computer files and I found some old palette designs! Back in the day, on the first version of my website, I used to do some palette redesigns (inspired by the now defunct YT channel Makeup Struggles) and some original designs!

One of these days I'm going to do a live where I show you the one I actually created - a Friday the 13th palette using Coastal Scents single eyeshadows and blushes - but for now feat your eyes on the four 9-pan palettes inspired by my favorite movie of all time, GENTLEMENT PREFER BLONDES! I used Devinah singles for the designs!

Make sure you click to expand each photo so you can see the name of each custom palette as well as the reference photos I used to design them!
