RuPaul’s Drag Race

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 Episode 6 starts with a bit of Acid Betty shade. It seems very forced because if you watched Untucked you know that Acid Betty wasn’t that bitter. And you guys! Naomi Smalls puts a lot of effort into her looks! Does she have to wear a turtleneck now? Ru’s in the workroom, and he introduces Marc Snetiker, an Entertainment Weekly writer. He says the EW audience loves Drag Race recaps. Huh? Wonder who else does that? And I don’t see many recaps from this season on the EW.com web site. Sure isn’t linked off the […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 Episode 4 begins with a dissertation on Derrick Barry. Who is Derrick Barry? What motivates Derrick Barry? Does Derrick Barry have a soul? Is that different from having soul? Does Derrick Barry know what soul is? (Answer key: Don’t know; Unknown; Probably not; Confused; Nope.) This week’s guest judges are Lucian Piane, Chris Stein & Debbie Harry from Blondie! Purse first! Bob’s decided that the purse he made in episode 1 shall now be featured in every episode going forward. So it’s purse first into the workroom! We apparently haven’t had interesting conversations waiting for […]

When we last watched Drag Race, we were left with a double elimination and a mysterious phone call to someone from RuPaul. So of course RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 episode 3 begins with much speculation. Victoria PorkChop Parker? Shangela? WHO DID RU CALL!?!? Sensitive, shady mentor Ru enters the workroom, still rocking the hats. Oh, and did you know his suit was from Klein Epstein Parker and they’re made to order? Wow! I had no idea. It sounds so casual & in the midst of conversation rather than actually advertising a product. Wink. But before we answer the question […]

Sorry I’m tardy to the party people. Let’s get started! RuPaul’s Drag Race season 8 episode 2 brings the reality – someone’s going home. Every time. Probably. Unless they do that “you’re both safe” crap again. Eye roll. Jamal Sims, Lucian Piane, Ester Dean are this week’s extra special guests. Did they make a bigger judges table for this? Mini-challenge: a Latin dance-off in quick drag. AB Soto is the guest judge for this mini-challenge, featuring a song he created with RuPaul. I’m sure it’s available on iTunes. Cynthia Lee Fontaine and Chi Chi DeVayne are the “winners” & get […]

The RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 7 Finale begins with a re-introduction of all the queens. It’s nice that each queen gets to walk the catwalk – and they all look great.   When Ru herself is introduced, she even lipsynchs a little bit to her song The Realness. She talked a little bit about possibly touring on her podcast, What’s the T. Maybe this is a sample? After the introductions, we learn that the top 3 queens have all been asked to prepare yet another lipsynch to help Ru make her decision. Songs have been created especially for this performance. […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 7 episode 13 is this season’s clip show. I’ve spent this Memorial Day cleaning out closets & taking in a baseball game. Now I must relive the moments of season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. There’s really not a lot of reason to watch this episode, but it’s good for a few laughs. Jasmine has abs! Fame is skinny! These girls don’t pad! What happened to Jinkx’ face? Violet can cinch! Kennedy has curves! Ginger is a glamour toad! Jaidynn is fierce! The beards looked cool and the #1 beard was Little Richard. Huh? I mean, Little […]
