I love me a good Entrepreneural drag queen. But unlike Ru, who did fracking on the side, oh shit I went there...Trixie Mattel is probably the most entrepreneurial of all the queens drag race as seen, right beside the Queen herself. Trixie doesn't only performs drag shows, but has expanded into her own vintage clothing line, make line, eye lashes, writes and produces her own music albums, owns a honky tonk nightclub, and has now expanded into the hospitality field with her very own, very Trixie, motel. But this is not your dumpy no tell, motel. It's as bright and effervescent as the queen herself. After the long haul, the Trixie Motel is finally open, but if you're looking to stay, some rooms are open for a brief day or two days, but it's mostly booked almost solid till March of 2023.
The Trixie Motel resides in Palm Springs, CA in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood, walking distance from all the city's main attractions. Back in February of 2017 it all began, just months into dating Trixie and her beau David went to Palm Springs together for the first time, and they discussed the idea of a Trixie Themed vacation rental. The idea came up every time they returned to Palm Springs. Over time they looked at properties, but years went by till they finally found the current motel, and completely gutted it and did a major Trixification on the place. They then contacted the Property Brothers and interior designer Dani Dazy and the rest was history. Of the suites, each one has its own theme. For me it would be hard to pick a favorite, but with a place like this, it would make for an amazing stay.
Oh, how fabulous! They're like dolls house rooms - so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so glad you think so Mr DeVice, I've booked us the honeymoon suite.
DeleteTundra Bunny here.... Wow, it looks like a cross between 1950's "Floridian" decor and and a 1960's Barbie dream house! The fuschia pink or cobalt blue rooms would suit me fine and I'd kill for an afternoon at that pool, LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's makes sense... one of the rooms in called The Malibu Barbara Room!
DeleteI didn't know the Property Brothers were involved in the renos. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteLet's go!
ReplyDeleteI have followed the whole process (well, Orville Peck was invited at some point so...) and it's been fab. Remember when I posted about Leslie choosing the lifeguard? LOL
Trixie learned everything Ru taught her and put it all to practice. Talk about good guidance. Say what you may about Ru and about RPDR, but if the Queens are smart, they follow the advice they've been given.
The whole series is on YouTube. Highly recommend it.
So, who's driving?
XOXO
Who's driving? Oh honey...Im hiring a driver and we're documenting the whole drive out! Would it be a r or x rating?
DeleteOhhh yes!
DeleteWe deserve to be driven around. It'll our Travelodge. And I have the feeling it may start PG 14 and quickly roll into X rated territory, as soon as we hit the Midwest. Those corn fed men apparently have a ton of energy...
XOXO
It will be Children of the Cock!
DeleteI love it! So kitschy Palm Springs!
ReplyDeleteSorry, my personal color palate clashes horribly with that one.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought you'd be the first guest in line for an extended stay?
DeleteI'd puke just walking in there! Jx
ReplyDeleteIn the famous words of Noxzema Jackson-"It's an affront to the very delicacy of my nature."
DeleteThe photos alone are giving me a massive headache! I wouldn't survive an actual visit.
ReplyDeleteIt could be an acid trip without the actual acid.
DeleteHaving never partaken, I wouldn't know firsthand. Junior High movies and warnings were enough for me to stay away from all that stuff. I've never been a Barbie girl, either. To each their own.
DeleteIt's not for me either Deedles
DeleteI best ask Trixie if she could do a red room for you Deedles!!!!
DeleteOh sure, a red room. It'll go from being Barbie's Dream House to Cabbage Patch Bordello! Live and let live, sweetie, live and let live.
DeleteI love Trixie and this is an awesome idea. I think staying over a weekend would be enough...a little much for a long relaxing holiday. But it looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteQuite impress with the decor.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Most definitely one of the most unique places Palm Springs has to offer, I can tell you. The Boy is already itching to go and stay.
ReplyDeleteI love it and Trixie...but you damn well know the gays are going to go WILD in those rooms.
ReplyDeleteI expect at least 10 different OnlyFans videos recorded onsite within a month of opening.
I LOVE Trixie!!! Probably my favorite from Drag Race. The motel screams Trixie. I would go in a heartbeat with you, we can lounge in pink turbans poolside all day!!!! The rooms are all fun and amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!!!!! I think it would be a fun time to stay there, So lively! Having watched the show though on the making of the motel...sooo many of the items sourced won’t stand up to commercial use. That Wayfair furniture is going to get stained and broken. So get booked and get in there early before the place gets trashed. Her upkeep is going to be through the roof.
ReplyDeleteEven I wouldn't do an Only Fans video from Trixie's Motel. That would seem very wrong to me somehow.
DeleteI remember watching the HGTV show and Trixie saying "“We want to make it look like a drag queen designed this.”
ReplyDeleteMary, mission accomplished, and I am LIVING! And I could see you poolside in a pink speedo.
Yasssss henny!!! Back in my club kid days, with drinking and drugs I saw this shit in my head then. I could be making a fortune henny.
ReplyDeleteI like the room with the retro flowers. Groovy, baby!
ReplyDeleteHaha! It would be sensory overload for me. It's very authentic to the swinging 60's though. I'd expect to see Austin Powers at any moment. Yeah baby!!
ReplyDeleteAustin Powers would love it there and Trixie!!!!
DeleteAre there poolside cocktail servers?
ReplyDeleteBarbie's dream house come alive! And, yes... I want a ticket! Although pink is my least favorite color in the world, I would love to see all who mince around that pool. I do wish it was clothing optional!
ReplyDeleteYou can come along with me and Sixpense in the car of sin and sex!
DeleteI recall seeing clips of the reno. The finished thing...well, it's a wee bit overdone for my taste. That said, it would be great to just hang out by the pool. And, tell me why the Lifeguards have to be in Speedos and not naked.... LOL
ReplyDeleteFor no other reason then to be able to peel something off them. I like a nice bouncy reveal!
DeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteI saw clips of the reno. The finished product is just a wee bit too busy-patterned for me. But I'd hang out at that pool - yes I would! But tell me ~ Why do the lifeguards have to wear Speedos? Can't they guard us naked???
ReplyDeleteYou know me, I'd stay there in a heartbeat!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very cool. Although I doubt I'd get any sleep.
ReplyDeleteThis is almost unbeliavable. I must must stay there
