The WOW Presents Plus show, Avalon TV, follows the Arkansas-turned-LA queer art creative collective, The House Of Avalon, as members pursue their Hollywood dreams. Comprised of wild stunts, hilarious sketches and a chronicle of real-life ambitions, the genre-bending series gives fans a closer look at their favorite stars. Starring RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 13 winner Symone, RuPaul’s Drag Race Season Season 12 standout Gigi Goode, Marko Monroe, Hunter Crenshaw, Grant Vanderbilt, Caleb, and Rylie, The House of Avalon revels in wild shenanigans and soul-baring moments.
In this exclusive clip from next week’s episode, Symone, accompanied by Rylie, returns to her hometown of Conway, Arkansas to attend her 10 year high school reunion in full drag. While dressing, Symone admires her stunning make-up and gorgeous wig as she looks at herself in the mirror. “That is so cool,” Rylie coos as she watches. “Oh yes, bitch!” Symone puts the finishes touches on her outfit—a stunning blue number complete with crop top, fabulous bow sleeves, and tight pants—and is totally satisfied with her look. “We did it again, girl,” Symone says triumphantly to the camera.
“Just two dumb bitches on their way to someplace,” observes Rylie as she and Symone slide into their car to head out. “Nervous?” asks Rylie as they near their destination. “Yeah, a little bit,” replies Symone honestly. As they pull up in the parking lot of the hotel where the reunion is being held, they see their fellow attendees in t-shirts and jeans. “Oh shit, we’re dressed up,” says Rylie in horror. They girls can only laugh as they get out of the car.
Immediately, Symone is greeted by her old friends Taylor and Kaitlin with big hugs and excited squeals. The vibes are good as Symone and Rylie are welcomed and embraced by everyone. Symone indulges in a toasted marshmallow and even records a message for a fan. However, Symone’s biggest thrill is reuniting with her “prom night girlies.” They pose for a cute picture, and Symone asks, “Should we do a little shot?” She adds: “I’m ready to get fucked up!”
As a montage of party moments plays, Symone raises a toast to the group: “To the class of 2013, bitch!” “I woke up today in a very good mood, because I’m such a different person than I was in high school,” confides Symone in a voiceover. As images from the amazing night flash on the screen, Symone proudly observes, “I’m a drag queen at my 10 year reunion showing off what I accomplished.”
