Hi, I'm Charlie Byrd. What do you want to know about me?

Do you have any food allergies?

When I was a kid, I was allergic to peanuts, but then I grew out of it. But a girl in first grade touched me with peanut butter, and then my throat closed up in front of everybody.

2nd most pressing drama in your life?

Okay. You don't care about the first. So what's going on? All of my shoes are not made to be comfortable, so I'm always just walking around in really cunty shoes, but I'm definitely going to have problems later. I don’t have normal sneakers. All my sneakers are heels.

Are you a Sambas Girl?

Oh fuck no. Sorry. I love Bella Hadid but I just think that the samba problem, is the fact that people will just wear it with a nice outfit and just throw that thing on the bottom, and then I'm like, wait, but this doesn't go with the outfit! You're not Bella Hadid because it doesn't work like Bella Hadid actually.

She invented the samba, but then she weaved it into the outfits- tastefully. Love to samba girls. Also, I love you Bella. You're on my close friends, Bella. You never look at it though.

What are you wearing?

I want to pay homage to the ultimate it girl that nobody talks about: Early fame Lady Gaga. Because this girl is just running around New York in like, tweezers and sparkly bras. And I think that that's so fun. So I'm wearing a vintage fur, a bunch of little fox tails on it; second hand: I don’t buy first hand. Sparkly bra, itty bitty shorts, literally a tool belt tool. And then studs, pleasers, various bracelets, not all my fingernails with me-because normally I don't have all of them on. I'm just like you.

Would you rather be Paris Hilton for a day or eat a bowl of bees?

Mmmm this is hard. Can I eat a bowl of bees as Paris Hilton? Shit, I got stung by a bee for the first time recently, and it actually wasn't fun. So I think I'm actually going to go with Paris. Is that okay?

Is that controversial? Don't cancel me. Not again. *Airhorn noises*

What’s your best tattoo/piercing?

I just got a new tattoo, I would like to show you. Shoutout inkmommy, it's literally the apocalyptic archetype and it's about everything that happens in the apocalypse *shows us her thigh*. And it goes all the way down to my butt as well. I love the apocalypse. No, I'm just kidding. I love graphs. You know that video of Kamala Harris, she's like, I just love Venn diagrams! That's me with graphs. So I was like, show me the graphs.

And then I rolled up to Amelia (shout out Ink Mommy on Instagram), and I was like, can you put this graph on me? And she was very happy to do it.

Name 5 Graphs

A Venn diagram, a chronological graph, a graph from math class, a graph of reasons why you think I’m pretty (heehee), a graph of things to do today!

Would you bribe a foreign official?

Oh my God, wait for what?

I don't really have money like that. So you know what: Fine. Yolo!

Method to bribe foreign official: Wire transfer or Crypto

FULL Anna Delvey “I’ll wire you the money”, but there’s actually no money. Sorry, this just in: Anna Delvey is going to be on dancing with the stars. It is real, I saw it today. If you achieve fame the first thing you got to do is go on Dancing With The Stars or you're gonna do nothing.

But she's allegedly an ex-con. I would never get on the bad side with Anna Delvey. She did nothing wrong. She did nothing wrong.

Thoughts on Finance bros?

Oh my God, I'm so scared. I have slept with one finance bro. One *airhorn noises*. I have very high taste and I really don't let shit like that slide but I was dressed as Charlie XCX two Halloweens ago and he was Carmie from the Bear, and I was like *ugh* and then he literally said “oh, well, I can take you up to a michelin star restaurant.”

And so I thought, you know what? Oh no, I will say the arugula salad went crazy, but I’ll also say he woke me up at 3 a.m. because he had to check the stocks and the bonds, he had to get on the phone with China. And so I'm just laying there.

Should men be allowed to own vapes? Does a certain flavor give u the ick?

When I was in Vegas, they had-they were selling cigars in the men's room, but geek bars in the women's room. I think that you're not going crazy enough if you're always on mint. A hush fell over the crowd. Show me some lychee, show me some mango.

I currently have a vape that is Mexican mango. So it's mango with tahin.

Can men own that one?

Sure. Yeah. Any fruity flavor because I like my men fruity. I- if we're going to be honest, just have a cigar. That's what Vegas says.

Favorite item you’ve shoplifted?

I was in the RuPaul's Drag Race workroom shop. And this twink just like, first off, he just gives me a cigarette. And we’re just smoking in the RuPaul's Drag Race workroom. The one House of love cocktail, like I needed that. Everyone say loveee. Drag race fans will get it, straight people, you're not going to get it.

Saw a RuPaul shot glass where I went and said “that's cute” and just picked it up and walked away. And I know everybody saw me because I was the bitch with a cigarette lit inside. Shout out RuPaul, if you can't love yourself, then how the hell are you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen up in here?

RuPaul’s a fracker, did you know that? That’s why they’re my favorite supervillain. How are you gonna be a drag queen and then go mine for oil?

What song were you listing to on your way here? Prove it.

Head head honcho by Kim Petras. The lyrics are kind of everything. I'm the head head honcho. I like the taste, no poncho. From Miami to Toronto. I'm the head head honcho. You can make any assumption about me that you want to make about that. Shout out. I’m bi. I mean technically pan, technically queer.

Shoutouts

Hey, I'm Charlie Bird. My Instagram is I love Charlie Bird. Bird is with a y. Love is with you. I do a lot of things I style, I act, I model, I deejay, secretly. I like to do a lot of things. And I think I'm a nice person. And I think that there should be more nice people in New York. And I think that we should all be friends, and we should all dance at parties and not stand around, like, try to look cool. I think we should dance because that's cool. That's all. Yeah. Come to Get a Room. Yeah.
