ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Hello Vanjie!
Mettie Ostrowski for EW
How are you?VANESSA VANJIE MATEO:Joey, Im good.
What took you so long?
What are you talking about!
Where the hell was you at?
We waited for you.
Come on, Miss Joey.Miss Joey!
Im here now, and thats all that matters.Thats right, Miss Joey.
I like it!Miss Joey!
You kinky, Miss Joey!
Im also sorry it didnt work out for you this season!
Im still proud of myself, so its not as bad.
I know that I really tried.
I respect, admire, and love the girls, and I respect RuPauls decision.
Just because we go home, it doesnt mean its the end of anything!
I still have you calling me, Miss Joey.
So, Im a winner, baby!
Any time you want, Ill call you, Miss Vanjie.Ok, Ill hold you to it.
Dont act like I wont.
We have to add each other on Facebook.
Youre following me on Twitter!
Just slide into the DMs like you slid into swimsuits this season.
I dont usually wear swimsuits because I dont want people to think thats all I do.
It just happened to go down that way on the fing show.
But, lesson learned!
What were you trying to redeem?It was more so because I felt pressure.
WhenI went homeandthe whole Vanjie thing started taking off, I knew people wanted to see me back.
I just wanted to make them proud, and I over-analyzed everything.
I do take this seriously.
Im not just a little meme.
Theres more to me.
Especially of yoursecondiconic exit!I shut it down!
This exit is theonlyexit.
Bitch, I shut it down!
Every time you think Im going to leave, I keep talking.
I had all the judges even Mama Ru laughing.
I kept going and going.
I walked backwards, forwards, sideways.
I brought the party, honey!
I dont think anyone thought there would be anything I could say or do.
I think you might be the queen with the most episodes without a challenge win.
And you lookedsupersurprised that you didnt win the makeover challenge.
I respect the decision, but I did think I was going to win.
They were pre-celebrating the win in theUntuckedchairs!
I didnt get no fing prize, but Im still going on that damn vacation with Brooke.
Were hustling and bustling!
I need a damn vacation though.
Im telling you, Miss Joey!
Speaking of Brooke, so many people thought that your relationship was put on for the cameras.
Was it real?Yes!
Yall know Im too vulnerable.
We were kind of flirting, and it was kind of a joke.
But, one day, it ended up where we just started growing this little bond.
And the next thing you know, we were just like little puppies.
We are the Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake of the gay franchise ofDrag Race.
Yall going to have to watch and see because we do confirm that.
We do let everyone know about the question everyones asking at the reunion.
But, its a photo he took of me!
I cant believe that.
Do you at least want him to win?
Because you have friends like AKeria and Silky in the top four against your lover.
Who are you rooting for?Theyre all sickening.
Whoever prepares the best!
Obviously, dont bring butterflies or bugs.
Each of us can represent the show in a great way.
I love Brooke Lynn.
Silky and AKeria are amazing people and sickening.
Silky is a great person if you get to know her.
Yvies always coming from left field and thinking outside the box.
I think each of them can win and I love and respect each of them.
Bitch, I aint winning, so Im happy its not my choice.
I could see her inner saboteur.
This is the time for you to get delusional, like you always are!
But something wasnt right.
Do you think Nina did better?I thought they wereboth a hot mess.
Well, things that are impressive: Your mother!
You previously said you didnt know how old she was.
Do you know now?She keeps that a secret!
I dont know if its a Hispanic woman thing, where you dont really tell people your age.
She keeps it to herself, and it changes all the time.
I dont care what she is, because its whatever my mom wants us to [see].
If my mom feels like shes 22, let her be 22 in her head.
Idoknow her age, but Im not going to put my moms business out there.
Youre not supposed to ask a woman her age anyway, Mary!
I askedyou!But Im not trying to get crushed by my mama.
After herUntuckedappearance, she needs her own TV show.
Would you be down to do a show with her?
Lets pitch this now.For sure.
Also, Im going to put this out there now: I want to be onAmerican Horror Story.
So, Ryan Murphy, contact me, because I would love to be on the show.
Its one of my favorites!
I think Trixie Mattel was on one episode as herself.I want to be on a full season.
I dont even have to be myself.
I dont have to be Vanjie.
I dont want to pigeonhole myself to only be Vanjie.
I plan on acting.
After I tour for several years and things slow down, I want to go out and audition.
I want to do more, I dont want to settle for the norm.
I loved what you did with Iggy Azalea in her two music videos.
Then she told me she was interested in having me do her next video, Started.
It was fun to work with her.
I want to do something more serious.
Im the face of Chips Ahoy, so, bitch, theres a lot of controversy with that.
But Im not turning down no opportunities!
Eat a cookie and calm the hell down.
Its not that serious!
Its just cookies, people.
And youre cashing the checks.
Im proud of you!Thank you Joey!
Ill see you in the DMs!
