In this exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming episode of Toddlers & Tiaras, little Hailey gets advice from her godfather – professional drag queen Shangela. 

“Work it on the runway!” he coaches. “I’m here to make sure that Hailey goes to the pageant with a little sass. “Hailey is a natural!”

Shangela spoke exclusively with Breaking Celebrity News about prepping Hailey for the pageant.

“We got a spray tan! Black people don’t need a spray tan, but we did it together and it was fun!” Shangela said.

He also said that he gave Hailey some stern advice.  “Show some life in your eyes and remind them that you want something – get that check!”

As a popular fixture from RuPaul’s Drag Race, Shangela said drag queens are becoming more accepted in society, even with little kids.
