Let’s get into it.

The Queen of BBW, Platinum Puzzy!

Platinum Puzzy: Big, beautiful women!

Gary Gabagool: Hello!

Platinum Puzzy: Hi! Thanks for having me.

Gary Gabagool: Who am I talking to? You guys have so many different personalities. I don’t know who it is.

Is this Pete? Is this…?

Platinum Puzzy: I don’t have a personality disorder. I’m bipolar, so that’s different.

Gary Gabagool: I’m Gary Gabagool.

Platinum Puzzy: Oh, am I supposed to introduce myself? Because I don’t know how podcasts work. I’ve been doing this for years.

Gary Gabagool: No, I just didn’t know what to call you. That was my formal way of saying, “Who the fuck am I talking to?”

Platinum Puzzy: You can call me anything.

Gary Gabagool: Gary Gabagool?

Platinum Puzzy: Yeah, there you go. Gary. Got it.

Gary Gabagool: Pervert Pete?

Platinum Puzzy: I’m not Pervert Pete. Pervert Pete is my third cousin.

Gary Gabagool: Okay, got it.

I’m so glad you’re here. We’ve done a few episodes quite a while ago, and I’ve always wanted to have you on again. I even wanted you to co-host, but you always seem busy.

Platinum Puzzy: I am busy. But I’m always available. All you have to do is shoot me a schedule and I’ll be there.

Gary Gabagool: I know. You keep telling me to cue you in.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.


Battle of the Big Girls

Gary Gabagool: Speaking of busy, what do you have going on?

Platinum Puzzy: Next Friday we’re doing the Battle of the Big Girls Chicago at the Admiral Theater.

I’m co-hosting with the amazing, legendary, iconic Sarah J, who was gracious enough to be part of the event.

And it’s different from a normal strip contest.

Normally, you might have ten or fifteen performers who all compete for one big prize. I wanted to do something different because I wanted everyone to have an opportunity to win a prize.

There are cash prizes and other prizes based on different things.

One category is Best New Starlet, which is for someone who has never been on stage before.

There’s Best Costume or Outfit, because I love seeing girls put a lot of time and effort into what they’re wearing. Maybe you can’t sing or dance, like me, but you can put together a great outfit.

Gary Gabagool: Right.

Platinum Puzzy: So I wanted to recognize that too.

We also have Best Stage Presence. Some people have incredible personalities and are smiling and engaging the whole time. Again, maybe they don’t sing or dance, but they still deserve recognition.

Then there’s Best Overall Performance for somebody who does have a routine, dances, and really puts time and energy into their performance.

And finally, there’s the Crowd Favorite, where the audience gets to decide.

Gary Gabagool: That’s the best one. The crowd is who fucking matters.

Platinum Puzzy: Of course. But I think Sarah and I, along with some other judges, can help recognize people who may be nervous but deserve recognition for having the courage to get on stage.


Platinum Puzzy’s Three Minutes as an Exotic Dancer

Platinum Puzzy: I’ve been doing these kinds of events for a long time. I was the first person to put BBWs in a Hustler Club.

I was just the organizer and host. I wasn’t getting on stage. I was like, “That’s not my thing. I’ll let everybody else shine.”

Then one time in Baltimore, we were at Little Darlings, which is part of the Hustler family, and there was a snowstorm.

Almost none of the dancers showed up.

There were maybe two or three dancers there, and I had a room full of guys waiting for them.

There wasn’t even enough time for the dancers who were there to change and get back on stage.

So I thought, “Well, I guess I’m going to have to put my big girl panties on.”

I put on some stripper heels, put on my little outfit, and got on stage.

Three minutes later, I said, “I will never, ever, ever do this again.”

It is the hardest work!

Gary Gabagool: It really is.

Platinum Puzzy: It gave me so much respect for exotic dancers. I’d see those dollars sliding up there and think, “Do you know how hard it is to stand up here in stripper heels? I want to see some twenties!”

I made good money for my three-minute stint, but after that I knew I wanted to stay on the microphone.

I’ll be the personality. I’ll cheer everybody else on. But me performing on stage? No.

Gary Gabagool: At least you can say you did it.

Platinum Puzzy: Absolutely.


The Idea Behind Battle of the Big Girls

Gary Gabagool: I love the name Battle of the Big Girls.

Platinum Puzzy: It was actually hard coming up with the name.

I didn’t want it to just be “BBW” something.

Originally, I was going to call it Curve Clash Chicago, but that sounded more like a boxing match.

Gary Gabagool: It does.

Platinum Puzzy: I really want to do a wrestling event for BBWs someday.

Gary Gabagool: What?

Platinum Puzzy: But I want to make it sexy. Maybe inside whipped cream or an inflatable pool full of whipped cream.

Gary Gabagool: I want regular wrestling. I’m a huge wrestling fan.

Platinum Puzzy: Old school or current WWE?

Gary Gabagool: I like the old school stuff.

Platinum Puzzy: I love competitive sports.

I didn’t even really like wrestling until I got together with my partner. We’ve been together about twelve years, and he loves wrestling, so I’ve learned a lot because we watch it all the time.

Gary Gabagool: Who are your favorites?

Platinum Puzzy: Roman Reigns is one of my favorites. I like The Usos. The Rock. Braun Strowman.

I was also a huge fan of Bray Wyatt.

Gary Gabagool: He passed away, right?

Platinum Puzzy: Yes.

He was one of my favorites because when I first started watching wrestling with my partner, I remember him coming out and doing the whole Firefly thing.

I thought it was really cool watching his character evolve.

Gary Gabagool: I need to catch up on WWE.

Platinum Puzzy: You do.


From WWF to WWE

Gary Gabagool: I love the history of wrestling.

I still call it WWF. Fuck all that WWE shit.

I watched the evolution of WWF into WWE and all the different eras.

Platinum Puzzy: It’s crazy how everything evolves.

Gary Gabagool: The characters were so ridiculous.

Platinum Puzzy: I always found it hilarious when characters changed from being the hero to becoming the heel.

I also liked Alexa Bliss until she went to the other side, and then I thought she became really bratty.

I’m also a big Nia Jax fan.

Gary Gabagool: Nia Jax is a BBW, right?

Platinum Puzzy: She’s Polynesian. I believe she’s somehow related to The Rock.

Gary Gabagool: I only really know Chyna from back in the day.

Platinum Puzzy: I actually met Chyna at Exotica.

She came to some of the adult expos.

I also met Rob Van Dam. His girlfriend is an OnlyFans creator, and he was there promoting his CBD products.

I’ve met a lot of interesting people at Exotica who I never expected to meet there.

You just never know who is going to show up.


Garbage Pail Kids and Platinum Puzzy Trading Cards

Platinum Puzzy: Speaking of things you don’t expect, I want to show you something.

Gary Gabagool: Nude pictures?

Platinum Puzzy: No!

Gary Gabagool: Is that a Garbage Pail Kid?

Platinum Puzzy: I made them!

These are me.

Gary Gabagool: Holy shit!

Platinum Puzzy: These are the ones I released last year. My name is on the bottom, and I also have T-shirts.

I wore one to the tattoo convention and people were going crazy.

They were like, “Oh my God, I love Garbage Pail Kids!”

I’m coming out with six new limited-edition trading cards, and I’m really excited about it.

Gary Gabagool: You’re a fucking Garbage Pail Kid!

Platinum Puzzy: I have some of the dopest merch.

Gary Gabagool: I loved Garbage Pail Kids when I was a kid, although I couldn’t have them because my mom thought they were gross.

Platinum Puzzy: That’s how I got into them. I was originally a fan of Cabbage Patch Kids, and Garbage Pail Kids were the parody.

Gary Gabagool: That’s fucking awesome.

Platinum Puzzy: The new series is going to have six cards, and eventually there will be twelve because each series will have its own theme.

The cool thing is that these aren’t just random cartoon generations.

They’re based on my actual photographs.

So the back of the card shows the original photograph that inspired the artwork.

Gary Gabagool: That’s really cool.

Platinum Puzzy: It shows that I didn’t just tell a program, “Make me a Garbage Pail Kid.”

I started with an actual photo and created something inspired by that image.

Gary Gabagool: That’s what makes it unique.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

I’m really excited about the project.

The only problem is that I may have to remove the word “kid” for a multitude of reasons.

Gary Gabagool: I never thought about that.

Platinum Puzzy: Yeah. You say “Garbage Pail Kids” and you don’t necessarily think about the word “kids,” but legally and from a branding standpoint, it gets complicated.

Gary Gabagool: And there’s the trademark issue.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

Honestly, if they become popular enough that I get sued, that’s free publicity.

Gary Gabagool: Bring it on!


Saying No and Knowing Your Worth

Platinum Puzzy: I’ve had people ask me to make cards for them, too.

I’ll consider it if there’s enough money in it, but otherwise I’m not interested.

I do well for myself, and I hate to sound selfish because I’m a big community person. I like helping people.

But one thing I’ve learned is that sometimes you just have to say no.

Sometimes you have to keep something for yourself.

And this project has been something I’ve kept for myself so far.

Gary Gabagool: Nancy Reagan said it best: just say no.

Platinum Puzzy: She wasn’t talking about Garbage Pail Kid cards.

Gary Gabagool: No. She was talking about something far more sinister.

Platinum Puzzy: Smoking doobies.

Gary Gabagool: Exactly.

Platinum Puzzy: We’re in 2026 now.


Don’t Wait to Start

Platinum Puzzy: It’s already May. The year is almost halfway over.

I don’t want to sound like an old person, but as you get older, everything goes faster.

When you’re young, six months feels like forever.

As you get older, six months goes by like nothing.

So if there’s something you want to do, get on it.

Don’t wait.

Gary Gabagool: The great Shia LaBeouf said, “Just do it.”

Platinum Puzzy: Or Nike.

Gary Gabagool: Or both.


Karaoke, Cam Girls and Crazy Stories

Platinum Puzzy: If we’re going to karaoke, what song are you going to pick that you know word for word?

Gary Gabagool: I don’t know. Sometimes I’ll be rocking out before I go live and think I know all the words, then the song starts and I’m like, “Wait a minute. Did I hear that wrong?”

Platinum Puzzy: It’s karaoke. The words are on the screen.

What’s a song you know fairly well?

Gary Gabagool: “Nuts on Your Chin.”

Platinum Puzzy: Nineteen ninety-five?

Gary Gabagool: Easy.

Platinum Puzzy: Stop it!

Gary Gabagool: You crazy?

Platinum Puzzy: That caught me completely off guard.

Mine would be Rob Base, “It Takes Two.”

Gary Gabagool: Classic.

Platinum Puzzy: I also do “Shoop” by Salt-N-Pepa.

Gary Gabagool: Hell yeah.

Platinum Puzzy: Sometimes I rock out to that, but hopefully nobody hears me.


Why the Podcast Is Becoming More Educational

Gary Gabagool: I see the show transforming into more of an educational type of show, talking about tips and things.

Platinum Puzzy: No comment.

Gary Gabagool: Why no comment?

Platinum Puzzy: Because I’m cool with it.

It seems like the audience is going in two different directions.

We have a lot of gooners on the live show, but Cam Girl Diaries is more about cam girls wanting to learn from professionals.

I’m completely down for that.

If people want to learn, that’s cool.

Gary Gabagool: But you know what I want?

I want the crazy stories.

Platinum Puzzy: Oh, yeah. You want the good stuff.

Gary Gabagool: Exactly.

Platinum Puzzy: Okay, I’ll tell you a crazy story.


The Night Flirt Fan Who Showed Up at Exotica

Platinum Puzzy: This happened recently.

Before I was on live cam, I was on Night Flirt.

There was a guy who used to call me all the time.

He eventually said something that didn’t sit right with me, so I blocked him.

Then, when social media became a thing, he started following me.

Years went by.

Then I was at Exotica in Chicago.

He saw that I was going to be there, so he came to the convention and introduced himself.

Of course, I didn’t recognize him.

I’m just being friendly and doing my Platinum Puzzy persona.

Then he says, “You don’t know who I am, do you?”

Gary Gabagool: That’s when you know things are about to take a turn.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly!

When somebody has to tell you that, you know they’re looking for a reaction.

He said, “I used to call you on Night Flirt years ago.”

I’m thinking, “Yeah, you and about a hundred other people.”

Then he said something else.

It still wasn’t registering.

Then he said something that finally made me realize who he was.

And inside I’m thinking, “Get out of my face.”

But that’s not what I said.

I said, “Thank you so much for coming to see me. I hope you have a good time at Exotica.”

Next!

Gary Gabagool: That’s classy.

Platinum Puzzy: He stood off to the side, and the girl next to me said, “That was very classy. I probably would have lost my shit.”

It was awkward and uncomfortable.

I thought that was the end of it.

Then I went home, and a couple of days later he contacted me again.

The reason I had blocked him in the first place was because he’d asked me to do some strange things and made comments that made me uncomfortable.

I asked myself, “If I feel this way during the call, is it really worth the money?”

No.

So I blocked him.

Then he sends me this long manifesto about how he didn’t appreciate how I treated him and how embarrassed he was.

Gary Gabagool: He sent you a manifesto?

Platinum Puzzy: A very long letter.

He acted like he’d spent millions on me.

This was fifteen-plus years ago!

Dude, get over it.

There are millions of other women out there who might be more prepared and willing to deal with your behavior.

I’m not.


Meeting Fans in Person

Platinum Puzzy: I brought this up because another girl I met at Exotica was there for her first time.

She told me it’s very different meeting someone you’ve only spoken to online.

If you’re talking to somebody romantically, you know more about them.

But when a fan comes up to you in person, you’re suddenly in a completely different situation.

She told me she was socially awkward and didn’t know what to say.

And I thought, “We need to do a class about this.”

We need some kind of support group or educational system for people who are moving from online interactions to meeting fans in person.

Gary Gabagool: That’s actually a really good idea.

Platinum Puzzy: It is.

And it’s also about boundaries.

You have to set your boundaries.

No dollar amount is worth your integrity, your comfort, or your mental health.


When an Old Fan Changes the Entire Atmosphere

Gary Gabagool: When you first realized who this guy was, did it just hit you?

Platinum Puzzy: It did.

And what’s funny is that the girl next to me noticed immediately.

She saw my body language change.

She saw my face change.

She could tell I was uncomfortable.

She was actually watching because she wasn’t sure whether he had touched me or whether something else had happened.

She was prepared to step in if she needed to.

Afterward she asked if everything was okay.

I told her I’d just run into someone I hadn’t seen in years who used to call me and who I’d eventually blocked.

That’s when I realized how much your demeanor can change when you’re suddenly confronted with somebody from your past.

Gary Gabagool: That’s different from just meeting a fan who says, “Hey, I’m a fan.”

Platinum Puzzy: Completely different.

I’ve met plenty of fans.

There was one fan who kept coming back to my booth at Exotica. He hung out, brought me food and drinks, bought merch, and was just really cool.

As long as somebody is cool, I’m cool.

I’m a chill person. I don’t think I’m above anybody.

If you bring good vibes, I’m happy to hang out.

But this particular person wasn’t somebody I had that kind of connection with.

The way he approached me made me uncomfortable.

And it reminded me of something important.

Back then, he treated the relationship like he owned me because he’d spent money.

But this is transactional.

You received the service. We move on.

You don’t own me.


Fantasy vs. Reality

Platinum Puzzy: That’s one of the biggest things I’m seeing now.

Some fans don’t understand the difference between fantasy and reality.

I can talk to you.

I can listen to you tell me about your shitty day, your ex-girlfriend, or whatever is going on in your life.

I can be friendly with you.

That doesn’t mean we’re in a relationship.

It doesn’t mean I owe you something.

I’m giving you that interaction because I’m a kind person, and I take this job seriously.

I understand that some people don’t have an outlet for the things they think, feel, or want to talk about.

Maybe it’s kinky. Maybe it’s not.

Maybe they just don’t have somebody they can talk to.

I want to provide that experience.

But it’s still transactional.

When I’m done, I log off and go to bed with the person I love.

That doesn’t mean I care about you less.

It means I care about you differently.

Gary Gabagool: A lot differently.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

Gary Gabagool: I thought we all knew why we’re here.

You came for attention.

I came to make money.

Boom.

You got attention. I got money.

Now we go our separate ways.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

The fans who understand that have no problems.

It’s the guys who think, “I’ve given you money, so now you must know we’re in a relationship.”

Or, “I’ve sent you fifty messages. Why haven’t you responded?”

Dude, you sent fifty messages in two hours.

I can’t be online all day, every day.

Some of those twenty-four hours have to be used for sleeping!


The Problem With Digital Communication

Platinum Puzzy: I think digital communication is blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.

People aren’t communicating effectively anymore.

Some people want to handle everything through text.

I’m the opposite.

If there’s a problem, I’m calling you.

I want you to hear my voice. I want you to understand where I’m coming from.

Text can be misread.

Gary Gabagool: Oh, fuck yeah.

Platinum Puzzy: You can read a text based on your mood.

Even something as simple as “Hey, bitch” can be read two completely different ways.

Gary Gabagool: That’s true.

Platinum Puzzy: When I say it, I’m saying it in a friendly way.

It’s like saying, “Hey, girl.”

But you can’t always communicate that tone through text.

I’ve had situations where I’ve tried calling someone about an important issue and they send me to voicemail and tell me to text them.

That makes me feel disrespected.

If you couldn’t talk in that moment, that’s fine.

But you can call me back later.

There have been people who have beef with me who have never actually called me about their grievances.

And I’m thinking, “If you had called me, we could have resolved this.”

Even if we weren’t friends anymore, we could have separated peacefully and remained amicable.

But some people don’t want to talk.

They just want to beef.

And if you want to beef, then you get to live with that beef.

I’m a chicken chick. I like beef. I like chicken. I even need some pork.

I’m not staying with the beef.

Gary Gabagool: Where’s the beef?


Why Is There So Much Beef Between Cam Girls?

Gary Gabagool: I’ve noticed something.

The last time we talked, I didn’t hear much about all this beef.

Now, suddenly, there seems to be beef between cam girls everywhere.

What the fuck is going on?

Platinum Puzzy: It’s always been there.

Gary Gabagool: Really?

Platinum Puzzy: Always.

I’ve been in this business for twenty-one years, and I’m sure it was happening decades before that.

We work in a competitive environment.

But personally, I’m not competing with anyone except myself.

I’m competing with the version of myself from earlier today, yesterday, last week, last year.

All these other women out there?

I’m here to cheer you on.

I’m here to support you.

Do you, boo.

I’m not competing with you.

Nothing good comes from that.

I don’t want you to feel less than, and I don’t want myself to feel less than.

So I’m going to focus on being the best version of myself.

Gary Gabagool: So where does the beef come from?

Platinum Puzzy: Sometimes it’s rooted in hate and jealousy.

I’m not going to be jealous of you.

I’m going to figure out what you’re doing.

Maybe I won’t emulate it, but I’ll learn from it.

If you’re doing something successful, I’m going to look at it and think, “Okay, what can I learn from this?”

That’s how I approach things.


Competition vs. Collaboration

Gary Gabagool: I’ve noticed that some of the younger girls seem to have a lot of beef with women who aren’t even in the same genre.

Platinum Puzzy: I think part of it comes from the generation they grew up in.

They grew up watching Bad Girls Club, Baddies, and reality television where fighting and drama are portrayed as a way to get famous and get rich.

I’m telling you right now: it isn’t.

There are people in those positions who are faking it until they make it.

And you have to think about the collateral damage that comes with constantly living in that kind of environment.


Why Platinum Puzzy Turned Down a Reality Show

Platinum Puzzy: I actually had an opportunity to do a BBW version of Bad Girls Club.

They were pitching it to people involved with the show.

The idea was a BBW cam house.

For about two seconds I thought, “Hmm. Great opportunity.”

Then I realized I didn’t want to create a situation where the women were being pitted against each other.

When we spoke to the producers, they explained that the tension is created behind the scenes.

They tell one person, “She was talking shit about you.”

Then they tell somebody else something else.

They keep the drama going because that’s what keeps the show alive.

And I wasn’t interested in being involved in a project that wasn’t uplifting women or helping them better themselves.

I could see myself doing something where people actually had to confront their problems and work through them.

There are shows where professionals help couples confront their issues and communicate better.

That kind of thing interests me.

If people were going to confront their demons, face their problems, and start healing, I could get behind that.

But Bad Girls Club?

No.

They were telling me how much money I could make, and I was thinking, “Absolutely not.”

First of all, I would have to live in that house.

Could you imagine?

I had a hard enough time with people getting upset because someone let the cat out.

I’m not doing that.


Learning From Your Mistakes

Platinum Puzzy: A lot of this comes down to communication.

When I was younger, I had a hard time telling people when I didn’t like something.

I avoided confrontation because I didn’t know how to go from confrontation back to peace.

I didn’t know how to communicate my feelings without making things confrontational.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how to communicate.

I’ve learned how to set healthy boundaries.

I’ve learned that I’m responsible for how I feel.

My feelings are mine.

And I’m also older now, so things that used to bother me don’t bother me nearly as much.

Someone doesn’t like me?

Okay.

I’m not here to make everyone like me.

I’m here to work.

I’m here to make money.

This is my job.

This is my livelihood.

Whether you like me or not, is that going to pay my bills?

Gary Gabagool: Fuck no.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

My advice to anybody watching is this:

Don’t allow certain things to bother you or enter your energy field.

Tune that shit out.

Focus on what’s important to you.

If the friendship is important, communicate and try to work it out.

Sometimes it won’t work.

Sometimes the other person has already decided they don’t want to be friends anymore.

And you have to accept that.

Move on.

Let it be what it’s going to be.

It doesn’t have to turn into turmoil.

It doesn’t have to become a hater situation.

You go your way, and they go theirs.

But if you really care about somebody, communicate.

Gary Gabagool: Exactly.


Fuck You, Pay Me

Platinum Puzzy: In my cam room, if somebody comes at me with an entitled, arrogant, “I own something” attitude, I’m just going to ignore them.

And sometimes it pisses them off so much that they start tipping just to get my attention.

Then I’m like, “Okay. Clock it.”

Gary Gabagool: So they tip because they’re angry?

Platinum Puzzy: Sometimes.

Everybody has a different approach and a different way of responding.

For me, I’m like, “You want my attention? Pay some money.”

Gary Gabagool: Fuck you, pay me.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

I don’t sleep. I Cash App.

Gary Gabagool: That’s what I’m talking about.

Platinum Puzzy: I actually have T-shirts being made that say, “I Don’t Sleep, I Cash App.”

Gary Gabagool: Hell yeah.


Bringing iHeartBBW Back

Gary Gabagool: You’ve got Garbage Pail Kids, you’ve got merch, and now you’ve brought iHeartBBW back.

Platinum Puzzy: I broke the iHeartBBW website!

iHeartBBW had been on ice for a couple of years.

Then I went to Chicago and someone gave me a pep talk.

They told me, “You need to bring iHeart back.”

I thought, “Okay. Let’s see what happens.”

Then I went to Chicago and had people come up to me saying they came to Exotica because they saw iHeartBBW was going to be there.

That was huge for me.

I’d kept the brand away from people because I wasn’t comfortable bringing it back.

I didn’t know what was going to happen.

Now I’m rebuilding everything.

The website was one of those things.

I went in there and broke it, then fixed it.

Everything is a work in progress because I didn’t expect things to pick up so quickly.

Gary Gabagool: But that’s good.

Platinum Puzzy: It is.

And iHeartBBW is also a sponsor of the Battle of the Big Girls in Chicago.

We’re still looking for performers.

If you’re interested in performing, go to the iHeartBBW Linktree. The link will be in the description.

There’s a model signup form, and we still have some spots available.

Sign up, and we’ll send you all the information.

Then we’ll get you a flyer and promote, promote, promote.


Battle of the Big Girls Chicago

Platinum Puzzy: If you’re in the Chicago area and want to attend, you can also get tickets through the website.

I recommend buying your tickets ahead of time so you can secure your seats.

It’s going to be a high-energy show.

And Sarah J will be there.

Gary Gabagool: That’s reason enough.

Platinum Puzzy: Absolutely.

Sarah J is one of the most amazing people I’ve met in this industry.

I’ve gone to her booth at Exotica for years, and she has never treated me differently because I’m in the industry.

She’s just a genuinely cool person.

And as I’ve gotten to know her more professionally, I’ve realized she’s also incredibly smart and business-savvy.

She’s the full package.

That’s why I was so excited when she agreed to be part of the show.

Gary Gabagool: So you’re hosting?

Platinum Puzzy: I’m hosting.

Sarah is co-hosting and helping judge.

Gary Gabagool: Do you have an announcer? Like Michael Buffer?

Platinum Puzzy: No. I’m the host.

Gary Gabagool: Oh, shit.

Platinum Puzzy: I’m going to have to get into it.

Gary Gabagool: “Battle of the Big Girls!”

Platinum Puzzy: I don’t know. Let me try it.

Gary Gabagool: Go for it.

Platinum Puzzy: Battle of the Big Girls!

Gary Gabagool: Fuck yeah.

Platinum Puzzy: I’ll probably have had a drink or two by then, so I’ll be a little less stiff.


Becoming a Better Host

Platinum Puzzy: I also do the fashion show at Exotica.

It used to be the BBW Fashion Show, but now it’s becoming the All Bodies Matter Fashion Show because I want it to be inclusive and available to everybody.

I’ve been doing the fashion show for years, and I’ve grown as a microphone host and MC.

I actually took a class on voice projection.

They taught us when to emphasize words, how close to hold the microphone, and how to use our voice effectively.

Gary Gabagool: Was that recently?

Platinum Puzzy: A few years ago.

When I was doing the fashion show, people would tell me I was holding the microphone too close or too far away.

People at Exotica were trying to help me, and I decided, “You know what? I’m going to take a class and get better.”

So that’s what I did.

Come test out my microphone skills at the Battle of the Big Girls.

Gary Gabagool: I like that.


You Can Always Learn Something New

Gary Gabagool: You’ve been really good on the microphone in the past episodes we’ve done.

Honestly, you should probably be hosting this show instead of me.

Platinum Puzzy: There are two points to make.

First, some things are natural.

But I also know that I don’t know everything.

I’m humble enough to understand that I’m not perfect at everything.

So I don’t have a problem taking a class or getting professional training.

If somebody told me I needed singing lessons, I’d take singing lessons.

I know I can’t sing.

Gary Gabagool: You know your limitations.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

I know I can’t dance either.

So if I’m going to get on stage, I want to be the best I can possibly be.

Gary Gabagool: You can never stop learning.

It doesn’t matter how old you are.

There’s always somebody who knows more than you.

Learn from them and use it.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

I think that’s the whole point of this show.

You’re either watching because you’re a fan and want to learn more about creators, or you’re a cam girl and you want to learn something.

Learning isn’t just business advice.

It’s life advice.

When you approach things from a student perspective and want to learn, observe, and grow, you have so much more potential to improve your life.

I try to take something positive from everything, even negative situations.

It isn’t always possible, but I try.

You can learn from difficult situations.

Sometimes that means taking a class.

Sometimes it means asking somebody, “Will you teach me how to do this?”

It takes self-awareness and some humble pie to admit that you’re not good at something.


Knowing What You’re Good At

Platinum Puzzy: I know I’m not a dancer.

Mentally, I am.

In my mind, I’m Flashdance.

But when I actually get into the situation, I’m absolutely not.

I’m like Gumby.

Gary Gabagool: You’re more like Pokey, Prickle, or Goo.

Platinum Puzzy: Whatever you want to call it.

I’m good at giving people a visual.

If I tell you I can’t dance, I’m going to make sure you understand exactly what that looks like.

Gary Gabagool: Gumby doesn’t dance.

Platinum Puzzy: Exactly.

He’s clay.

Gary Gabagool: That’s a whole other story.


Battle of the Big Girls: Event Details

Gary Gabagool: Let’s get back to the Battle of the Big Girls.

Platinum Puzzy: May 8, 2026.

Doors open at 10 PM.

It’s at Loft 39, upstairs at the Admiral Theater, at 3940 West Lawrence Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.

It’s 21 and over, and there is free parking.

Gary Gabagool: Can we get there earlier?

Platinum Puzzy: Doors open at 10.

Gary Gabagool: Any other important information?

Platinum Puzzy: Ticket information is in the description.

If you come to the door, mention Platinum Puzzy.

If they tell me you said my name, I’ll have something special for you.

It’s going to be a great time.

Sarah J will be there, along with Baconte Jenny, Donica Onyx, who is one of the Exotica hotties, and other performers.

It’s going to have great energy.

If you’re in Chicago, come out and support it.

And if it’s successful, I’d love to bring it to other cities.

It’s always fun talking to you.

Can we do future episodes?

Platinum Puzzy: Absolutely.

You can be the host.

I’ll be the sidekick.

I’m better as a sidekick.
