Watch: Drag Demolition – Trixie Mattel Renovates Motel (with a Little Help from her Pit Crew)

Nearly a year ago EDGE reported that Trixie Mattel was planning on renovating a Palm Springs hotel in a new Discovery+ series.

Earlier this week the "RPDR" alum spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming show and released some preview footage. The 8-episode series will begin streaming on June 1, according to Out Traveler.

"The series is eight one-hour episodes and Mattel will attempt to turn the motel into the 'ultimate drag paradise.'"

But what's the ultimate drag paradise without a pit crew? In a recently released pic, Trixie is seen with seven hunks in Speedos, including Falcon adult male performer Nick Fitt, who stands to her left in the photo. At its center is actor Leslie Jordan, which, The Sword reported, hints at a "contest" to become Leslie Jordan's boyfriend.

"The Trixie Motel property itself is exactly the kind of Cali-chic, retro-tinged, dipped-in-pink destination you'd imagine the�Drag Race�All Stars 3�champion�would concoct," Entertainment Weekly said. "Feather chandeliers, avocado-on-pastel glass windows, flamingo lamps, all mixing together to create a space fit for the human-sized doll at the center of the Trixie fantasy."

But to make it happen requires true grit and labor, so don't be surprised to watch Trixie trick a host of celebrities to assist her in the project. The list includes Lisa Vanderpump, Iggy Azalea, Zooey Deschanel, Katya, Mo Heart, Jaida Essence Hall, Nicole Byer, Jonathan Scott, Leslie Jordan, Jonathan Bennett, Juno Birch, Brittany Broski, Gigi Gorgeous, Emily Hampshire, Orville Peck, The Old Gays, Very Gay Paint's Nic Scheppard and Jenson Titus, and Belinda Carlisle.

The show came about while Trixie was watching "A Very Brady Renovation" during COVID, and joked about a "Trixie Motel" because of the play on words. "Then we were like, what if we actually did? We looked at residential properties, and found this one...." she told EW. "It's the only commercial space I even looked at it. RuPaul says that the universe gives you stage direction, and it was waiting for us. We thought of the motel business together, and he was the one who said we should make it a TV show."

Trixie competed on Season 7 of "RuPaul's Drag Race," returning to win Season 4 of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars." She has successfully toured the country with fellow drag icon Katya, stars in Netflix's "I Like to Watch," been a subject to a documentary ("Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts"), and has released three albums, as well as a comedy special, "Skinny Legend." But this latest venture may be the biggest for her brand if her plans are realized.

"I'd love to open other motels and have those Trixie Motels reflect wherever they are," she told EW. "They'd match the vibe. The Trixie Motel Palm Springs is very California, very desert, so maybe one in Nashville that's a little more yee-haw that's aimed at bachelorettes, or one in Florida that's like a true vacation bungalow. Or maybe a Trixie Campground where drag queens are camp counselors with clip boards and whistles, and it's adult gay men in camper uniforms playing touch football and s–."

She also explained why she cried when she saw a completely renovated room for the first time. "What people don't see is this is a real relationship. It's me and my partner embedded $2 million into a project going, 'Are we insane? Is this stupid? Are we crazy?' When you see the room with a candle lit and a record player on and furnished like a room, you are walking into literally the exact vision you had, it's surreal ... we took this huge gamble together. Gay married? Ain't s---. Having kids? Ain't s---. All my dreams have come true."
