'...and DON'T *bleep* IT UP!' -- the RuPaul's Drag Race thread

Seriously. Jinkx is my no-contest favorite in this cycle.

I'm glad Jade's gone. That cute thing got old quick. And that hairy wtf getup. Bleh.

Jinkx was cool but Ivy def eclipsed everyone. She's impressing me more and more.

Holy shit @ Detox's surgery list. What the fuck would it do to you have silicon *muscles*. Jeeezus lady.
Her cleavage is weird, it looks like an ass crack. But her actual ass crack is lovely, lol

I love Jinkx but I am a tiny bit worried. Michelle really is out for her.

Holy shit @ Detox's surgery list.

First thing I thought was all of that but NOT THE NOSE??

Hahah.

Jinkx may just wear Michelle down, we'll see. Ivy did step up for sure after last week! Like 'em both, really, but Jinkx I'll make time for.

My theory is that CoCo will make the top three by default, meaning: if she ends up in the bottom 2 at any point in the future, she'll kill at lip syncing once again. So...she's going all the way.

I agree re: Coco. Lip syncing's her superpower, no doubt. Honestly as batshit crazy as she is, I'd love to see her Janet show. I bet she kills it.

Michelle really is out for her.

Not exactly sure if Michelle has much nice to say about any of these girls.

I think in the history of judging on this show, it's MUCH more damning for a contestant if Santino is the one calling you out on the runway. Michelle always has her favorites but she's always been a tough critic.

And let's face it: she HAS a point. Jinkx is supremely talented and funny and insightful and it's been great watching her character develop this season, but the LOOK could be elevated for SURE.

Little Edie does indeed use a magnifying glass a lot in GG.. Good work, Jinkx! Had to turn the movie off though, it was too depressing for me. I do agree Jinkx could be a bit more glamorous. Not sure if I can ever look at Ivy the same way after that terrible Marilyn - the Snatch Game means so much to me.

Am I am mistaken in thinking that the reason her name is pronounced IVEEEEE WIINNNTTEERRRSSS was because of the way Latoya introduced Ivy onstage somewhere? Did I miss them taking advantage of this glorious opportunity in this episode?

ivy's marilyn was unforgivable

It was despicable. Ru sorta confused her by telling her to be a smart dumb blonde.

there was nothing marilyn about it besides the beauty mark, least of all that horrible ice dancing costume

The part that was edited out but was shown on the Logo website where she tries to wear her tiara around her neck was kind of funny.

tbh i don't really think coco has much of a chance for the final 3. she's good for a lip synch, yeah, but she's had 2 high energy dance songs versus a couple self-conscious queens. all it takes is a broadway number to take her outside her comfort zone and she's toast.

Hey New Yorkers

This is actually a great lineup!

Featuring Michelle Visage (head judge on the show), Pandora Boxx (Season 2), Carmen Carrera (Season 3), Mimi Imfurst (Season 3), Alaska Thunderfuck (Season 5), Jinkx Monsoon (Season 5) and Ivy Winters (Season 5). Note: lineup subject to change.

I can't deal with Mimi. Theater kids are the worst.

Yeah, I've been filling time between new EPs by catching up, and started with season 3. Mimi should've been knocked out of the running on day 1.

Mimi is the weakest link in that bunch, yeah. Manila Luzon would have been perfect.

I'm halfway through and had to spoil it for myself by checking the Wikipedia page to assure myself that the one I thought should clearly win actually did. I was right.

Hey, it happens. (And yes, deservedly so.)

It's not that I don't like some of the other S3 queens. It's just that I'm basically in love with Raja, in and out of drag.

Rewatching it the other week knowing the outcome made it seem like a royal progression for her throughout the season. Won the opening challenge, along the way, and boom at the end.

How many votes would an ILX poll of the houses (e.g. Extravaganza, Labeija, Ninja, Overness, Pendarvis) get?

wow I didn't even know about houses til just now

I got some learning to do

I just watched Paris is Burning yesterday too. It's been a draggy week here.

Paris is Burning is emerging as an annual view for me, alongside Do the Right Thing.

brb gonna watch

Yup, watch it immediately, VG!

eric there was a poll on 77 and house of ninja won hands down

HOW have I not seen this

amazing

The all time "I want to go to there" movie.

Re: that janked poll, I have one thing to say -- sashay, rePOLL.

for VG:

http://opencity.org/archive/issue-6/the-slap-of-love

the slap of love by michael cunningham. it's a piece about angie xtravaganza in particular and the ball culture in general, including cameos by dorian corey and pepper labeija -- it involves a little more history of the balls than paris is burning

omg thank you elmo!

I have seen sequence used as the plural of sequins at work.

let's not started on paillettes then

VG just you WAIT until you get to the last paragraph of that piece

Phew. Some crazy intense times there tonight.

goddamn

i'm going to have to start watching with a box of kleenex, these girls know how to make me cry holy shit

coco's roast was awesome, glad she won. hope Alaska keeps bringing the heat too. I like her.

Jinkx takes the high road!

Dear fans, friend and supporters.

I've seen some really disparaging remarks made about my fellow drag race competitors...
for example: "You deserved to be left at that bus stop."

Roxxxy and I may not always see eye to eye, but she doesn't deserve such things being said to her. Remember that we all play the game in different ways. Though we may feud, it doesn't mean we don't have a friendship underneath it all.

Any fans of mine who think that's the way to talk to other people have completely missed my message.

Haters will hate, but let it just be water off a duck's back. I love you all.

xxoo

Season six casting, heads up:

Finally Coco starts playing! Still I liked Alaska's roast the best, but they were both funny and so was Jinkxy.

A lot of people didn't seem to buy Roxxxy's tears, but I was really touched. How can you be cynical about a story like that?
And when you saw Untucked afterwards it made even more sense that she was in that headspace on the runway since they had just been talking about it backstage.
