These "races" piss me off on so many levels. Not only are they risking what could potentially be serious injury, they just seem so "oh silly women running in silly shoes." Why don't they get serious and run in a real race with proper athletic equipment? Why do you need to look cute when you're competing/exercising?
That said, the gay man can seriously motor in those heels. I agree with him. Running in heels is stupid.
@shushi: It is stupid, I agree, but it tends to garner a lot of attention... which equates to more money for their cause. Silly, sure, but it's for a good cause.
You gotta give it to the Atlanta ladies- I can't imagine any of the other RH franchises so genuinely psyched to be surprised by their friend in drag (though I would love to see what Theresa would say!)
I loved the first season, I just hope their budget is big enough this time so that there will be NO VASELINE ON THE CAMERA LENSES, OMG! My eyes were always crying for mercy at the end of RuPaul's fierce runway struts to the judges table.
AW!!! One of my dearest friends in the world came in second after Nina Flowers in the online competition for the first one. I don't know if she'll do it again, but if she does, her name is Pandora Boxx, and you should totally go insane voting for her EVERY SINGLE DAY. She's all sorts of genius, and does the best Carol Channing impression ever.
If he lost the suit and the facial fuzz I think Ru Pal would far more readily pass for a woman than when he is in drag. I know that drag is suppose to be a caricature of femininity which is why I have never liked it and always regarded it as highly dubious, in the same way I find caricatures of other minorities problematic.

Ongina is still my favorite though. Fabulous with a capital F.

I wonder if I'd get thrown out of the competition for being a biological woman? Do they do junk checks at the auditions??

dolly parton actually said something to that effect once,
'it's a good thing i was born a woman. or else i'd have had to be a drag queen.'
