Brilliant! I knew it when I saw that drag episode of Project Runway that it was one of their best, if not the THE best, show they've aired. #queensofdrag
No drag act, or any stage/variety act, will ever come close to when I watched a drag queen lip synch to Whitney's version of "I will always love you" while being urinated on by naked musclebound men in pig masks. Even on mouth contact, she didn't miss a note. Good time had by all! #queensofdrag
I know that there are serious analyses of drag out there...but at the end of the day..Lady Bunny says it best...
"you may like your cake, that's how I love my pie..that doesn't make any of you better than I"... #queensofdrag
Oooo, I don't know anything about how shows get produced but is there anyone I can email to let them know I would watch this show if it was picked up? #queensofdrag
I love drag queens. I find them fascinating and often, very beautiful. Perhaps this is in part because so much of the music and art that I love has been inspired by them. Perfect example: Antony & the Johnsons, Lou Reed/Velvet Underground, Andy Warhol's Factory. "Candy Darling on Her Deathbed" is one of my favorite photos of all time. I will definitely watch this show (assuming that it is much better than that VH1 travesty, "RuPaul's Drag Race.") #queensofdrag
@LucilleMcGillicuddy: He's healthy but HIV+ and got an infection (I think a staph infection?) and had to leave to get treatment for it. V. sad. #queensofdrag
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.
