纽约变装演员请替身舞者代跳高难度动作走红：40秒视频一天内播放破百万次
位于美国纽约州皇后县的纽约市皇后区 Astoria，一家名为 ICON 的酒吧在11月8日周日晚举行当地变装比赛 Pantheon 第五季总决赛。变装演员 Sierra La Puerta 表演到中途旋身退到舞台一角，舞台烟雾喷起，另一名穿着同款装扮的演员 Spice Diamond 从烟雾中现身，替她接下高难度的舞段，包括大幅度的地面动作和下腰折摔（death drop）。La Puerta 11月10日把这段40秒的视频发到 X，配文写道：「让请年轻替身舞者代跳舞段成为常态!!!!」（Normalize twink stunt doubles!!!!）
据 Queerty 报道，这段视频在 X 上线不到24小时播放量就突破100万次，到11月12日周四上午点赞超过4.3万次，在 Instagram 上也被转发数千次。La Puerta 在帖中标注了替身 Spice Diamond 的账号。尽管这段表演在网上走红，她当晚并没有赢得 Pantheon 第五季冠军，夺冠的是另一名表演者 Tiffany Piffany。
La Puerta 对 Queerty 说，这个点子是她被选入 Pantheon 阵容后就一直在想的，灵感混合了两个来源：一是电视剧《黄金女宝贝》（The Golden Girls）里 Rose 参加舞蹈比赛时由专业舞者替身完成高难度动作的桥段，二是《加拿大变装皇后秀》（Canada's Drag Race）选手 Silky Nutmeg Ganache 用体型反差极大的替身制造笑点的做法。她说，两者一个靠的是训练有素的舞者、一个靠的是替身体型与本人反差悬殊，混在一起才成就了这段表演。她本人还曾在一个名为 The Golden Gays 的变装团里扮演过 Rose 一角。
据爱尔兰媒体 GCN（Gay Community News）报道，这是 La Puerta 第一次请任何人做自己的替身。她说，特意找一个体型与自己形成喜剧反差的人来演，Spice Diamond 正合适；Spice 在本季比赛中几周前已被淘汰，而她一直想让 Spice 和自己一起站上总决赛舞台，对方答应后她非常高兴。
GCN 指出，这种中途换人的手法在老电影里叫「德州换人」（Texas Switch）：演员借桌角、墙角等遮挡退场，替身在同一镜头里接上完成特技动作，不靠剪辑。La Puerta 对 Queerty 说，她在疫情期间开始做变装表演，2022年首次登台。视频走红后，不少网友留言称赞这是变装表演的绝佳创意，也有人说这一幕让他们想起《黄金女宝贝》里的经典桥段。
New York Drag Performer Goes Viral for Using a Stunt Double for Her Dance Breaks: 40-Second Clip Tops 1 Million Views in Under a Day
At ICON, a bar in Astoria, Queens, in New York City, Queens County, New York, the grand finale of Pantheon Season 5, a local drag competition, was held on Sunday night, November 8. Midway through her number, drag performer Sierra La Puerta twirled away into a corner of the stage as a cannon of stage fog went off, and fellow performer Spice Diamond, dressed the same, emerged from the fog to take over the demanding choreography, including floor work and a death drop. On November 10, La Puerta posted the 40-second clip to X with the caption: "Normalize twink stunt doubles!!!!"
According to Queerty, the video racked up more than 1 million views on X in less than 24 hours, had drawn more than 43,000 likes by Thursday morning, November 12, and was shared thousands of times on Instagram. La Puerta tagged her double, Spice Diamond, in the post. Despite going viral, she did not win Pantheon Season 5 that night; the crown went to fellow performer Tiffany Piffany.
La Puerta told Queerty the idea had been in her head since she was cast in Pantheon, and that it mixed two sources: the dance-contest routine of Rose in The Golden Girls, in which a trained dancer doubled for the harder moves, and Canada's Drag Race contestant Silky Nutmeg Ganache, whose gag relied on a body double of drastically different size. She said one worked through a trained dancer and the other through the comic contrast in size, and that mixing the two sold the performance. She has herself played Rose in a drag troupe called The Golden Gays.
According to Ireland's GCN (Gay Community News), it was the first time La Puerta had used Spice, or anyone, as a body double. She said she deliberately wanted someone of comically different size, and that Spice fit the part; Spice had been eliminated from Pantheon a few weeks earlier, and La Puerta had always said she wanted her in the finale with her, so she was thrilled when Spice said yes.
GCN noted that the mid-performance swap echoes an old film technique called the Texas Switch, in which an actor ducks behind cover and a stunt double takes over within the same continuous take, without editing. La Puerta told Queerty she started doing drag during the pandemic and made her stage debut in 2022. After the clip spread, commenters praised it as drag performance at its best, and some said it reminded them of the classic Golden Girls moment.
