COURTNEY BALENCIAGA TALKS CAREER, AGING, LOSS, MOTIVATION, BALLROOM & THE GOLD BOWL In this emotional and eye-opening continuation, the iconic Courtney Balenciaga sits down with us to share deeply personal reflections on life beyond the runway. Courtney opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her best friend, a moment that became a wake-up call. She candidly discusses how, for years, she avoided getting tested and neglected her health.

She talks about finally taking her health seriously, embracing wellness not just for herself, but for the community that looks up to her. Courtney also reflects on the impact of her mother’s love, and how it shaped her into a strong, nurturing figure in the ballroom scene. That love became the foundation for how she parents and supports her ballroom kids, with compassion, guidance, and real talk. From evolving as a performer to aging with pride, staying motivated, and gearing up for The Gold Bowl, this episode is packed with vulnerability, growth, and legendary wisdom.  Don’t miss it—Courtney keeps it raw, real, and Crazy Sexy Cool. 🎧 Tune in to the latest episode of the FQ Crazy, Sexy, & Cool Podcast to hear Courtney Juicy-Balenciaga's inspiring story.

This week on a special two-part episode of Fem Queen Crazy Sexy Cool, we’re bringing you an unfiltered, in-depth conversation with two icons in the ballroom community: Whitney Garcon and Zeric Mugler. In Part 1, we dive into the art and pressure of maintaining your looks in ballroom and beyond. From beauty routines to body work, the ladies open up about the physical and emotional labor that goes into staying “on” all the time. We also explore personal journeys with addiction—how it starts, the impact it has, and what healing really looks like in spaces where image and performance are everything. In Part 2, the conversation gets even more personal. We talk dating while being that girl (or that boy), how popularity complicates intimacy, and navigating love in a community that often watches your every move. Whitney and Zeric also get real about rivalry—when it fuels you, when it distracts you, and how to survive in a culture built on competition. Through it all, we center the joy, pain, and resilience of being Black, queer, and fab in today’s world. You don’t want to miss this!
