*TONGUE POP*

Is there something on Pearl’s face? Yes. And it’s called additional context.

For decades now drag queens Lady Bunny and RuPaul have been close frenemies, first performing together in New York City during the early ’80s. Since then RuPaul has expanded his empire immensely with the show Drag Race, but now Lady Bunny is reviving her very own drag convention, one that predates RuPaul’s own DragCon…

From RuPaul to Lady Bunny, drag queens have attracted the mainstream spotlight in recent years. But those who love the art form beyond Drag Race know that there’s far more to drag than performances of over-the-top femininity. Drag kings and male impersonators have been perfecting and honing their own performances of…

From the front of Bushwick’s tiny Bizarre bar, the first piano notes of Céline Dion’s “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” begin to play. The Missy Elliott that was just coming from the speakers has died down, as well as the chatter of young people around the bar ordering absinthe cocktails and burgers. The crowd here…

All-Stars seasons of Drag Race always up the ante just a little bit—the queens, previously disqualified and sometimes disgraced (Willam), know far better what to expect than less seasoned newbies on regular seasons (exception: Shangela), and so they ideally come even more correct and bring a host of looks that won’t…

Hay squirrelfriends! It’s finally time to crown America’s Next Drag Superstar, and Season 9 has been a real doozy, with a surprise four-queen finale that seems as tight as any Drag Race has ever been. Will it be Sasha Velour, the intellectual art diva? Peppermint, the congenial and heartfelt beauty? Shea Coulee, the…

Today, during a writing break, I took to Google and typed with fury. “TOM HOLLAND?!” I demanded of the search engine. You see, I had just watched this video from Lip Sync Battle in which the Spiderman star performs extraordinary choreography to Rihanna’s pop masterpiece “Umbrella.” Now I have watched it several times,…

I’m skeptical about everything and so I must admit I side-eyed the fact that RuPaul’s Drag Race, newly shifted over from LGBT network Logo to its Viacom brother Vh1, was given a similar Friday night slot to Amber Rose’s nowhere to be found talk show. How you gonna do cultural icons like that?

Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race premieres tonight on a new channel (Vh1) and a new night (Fridays!) and a new time (8 p.m. Eastern—THE WITCHING HOUR). Also, LOOK AT GAGA DOING HER THING.

Several minutes ago, a friend sent me a link to the video above along with the question, “HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BOBBY?” I had not seen it, nor did I know what it was before clicking. The video’s title, “Cate’s performance at The Stonewall 2/20/17,” didn’t help either. Cate who? At The Stonewall Inn? Is she a drag queen?…

As Mike Pence, Satan’s meticulously groomed undersecretary, lurches toward what may be the most powerful vice-presidency in history, we have to move to protect what’s ours—our bodies, our civil rights, our ability to put on a giant wig and heavy contour and lip sync to Gloria Estefan in front of RuPaul.

RuPaul is an inspiration to many and as such, gets asked a whole lot about things that might seem outside his purview. But, when he speaks, you remember politics belong to us all in this beautiful way and RuPaul 2020, please.

Some people have Christmas; some of us at Jezebel have Drag Race. Because baby Hay-Zeus don’t come but once a year, we’ll be here all night, liveblogging/celebrating the Season 8 debut of RuPaul’s brilliant reality competition baby, in which drag queens from all across the US and Canada compete to become the next drag…

RuPaul’s Drag Race might be entering its 8th season (and about to hit its 100th episode), but—from the look of this trailer—the new queens’ engines have yet to lose power.

Harvard University’s historic all-male drag and burlesque troupe Hasty Pudding Theatricals may begin to accept women after two college seniors decided it was unacceptable for a college theater society to bar females from performing.

At Monday night’s Diary of a Teenage Girl premiere, star Alexander Skarsgard walked the carpet in full-on, gold-lamé, big-wigged drag. He was giving a little Krystal Carrington, a little Dynasty meets Hedwig, a little Farrah Fawcett’s been at Studio 54 too long and it’s only 3 AM.
