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

honestly i didnt think i could love her more but Race Chasers has given me a whole new level of appreciation

Alaska and Willam are a perfect pairing, because one is a total acolyte and the other a total skeptic and they’re both equally smart about how the biz works

exactly. i think as well it’s a great match bc they both seem to have a pretty amazing work ethic in life, not only for their own drag, but performing in general & gigs of any kind so it’s not like 90% of podcasts where they think the idea & their personality is enough, and then just faff through it. they’re both actually really trying to provide good content while still being themselves & it shows.

I'm going to this https://bushwig.com/ this weekend and am gonna see Alaska, Sasha Velour, Aja, and Dida Ritz, and maybe Thorgy? also Lady Bunny

oh and Pearl is djing lol

Best quote from todays Race Chasers, was Willam on Rebecca Glasscock:

“That’s not even fashion. Dont’t call it that. Those are CLOTHES.”

Hahah yeah that was great.

It was interesting when they pointed out how for at least the first two seasons everyone was mostly off-the-rack with their wardrobe choices but now most queens wouldn’t even walk into the ~workroom~ in anything off-the-rack let alone on stage.
(Unless you’re ChiChi DeVayne)
(and I say that from a place of love)

My god, I think I've found the most shamelessly negligible of all showbiz awards...

Yaaas!!! Thank you @GoldDerby Awards!!! #DragRace snatched the award for Reality Competition Program and Mama @RuPaul snatched the award for Reality Host!! 🏆Come through!!! pic.twitter.com/KcgWPzUO0N

My challop: "Come through" is some weak-tea catchphrase.

went to Werq the World last night in montreal
great show (although give the ticket prices, i'd sure hope so)
Aquaria, Valentina, Violet Chachki, Eureka, Asia O'Hara, Kameron, Kim Chi, hosted by Bob the Drag Queen

to everyone's surprise (?) violet chachki stole the show
though i gotta say that one of eureka's numbers was amazing (and i hate eureka)

aquaria was great, really inhabits herself

asia did a piece about dying butterflies

Might have been said before but Aquaria is the Valentina dream realized. She really exposed what Valentina was lacking this last season.

This is where I approve of Leee’s display name kthxbye

ha i didn’t notice that before 👍🏻

Ta!

Also, picking up on Sean's post just above, Violet is starting to really come into her own here a couple more years down the line. She and Katya did the latest Fashion Photo Ruview and my girlfriend and I think she pretty easily stole the show:

My girlfriend also adding that in terms of look and absolutely cutting right to the chase and telling you what she thinks, she feels Violet has got some classic Boy George vibes about now.

otm

Eureka vs... Lisa Landry from Sister Sister

that's a thing now

what a world

?

There's no fight. Eureka inserted herself into a situation when she should've just sat there and ate her rice.

She pretty easily stole the show

Violet has got some classic Boy George vibes about now.

Totally. She is doing amazing in these.

Geopolitical impact by one of our all-stars!

Morgan McMichaels: no biggie, just hurt herself punching Nazis.

The full triptych is amazing

Ooh nice find. PS I wish I could wear that tee in good faith!

morgan is a badass bitch i love her

Legend.

AS4 cast is out, do even we care still about AS?

That's a lot of Drag Race for one year.

And a Christmas special too?

I am excited to see Trinity again, though!

g g gGia

Absolutely

oats will be felt

I wish they had waited a year before AS4, the line up feels a bit lacklustre and I think part of it is simply timing

I think it's a great cast for the most part, but I agree they are milking that cow dry. Makes it feel less special to have an AS every year.

As much as I love them, calling back Latrice and Manila for another AS is redundant imo. Replace them and Farrah Moan with Nina Bonina, Shea, Ongina and Mariah and we've got a perfect cast (I know it's already been filmed).

i dunno - AS 1 was weird because of the team format, i think giving them a second shot is fine

I mean, keep bringing back the girls of seasons 2-6 unto perpetuity afaic.

i agree!

I don't think it's chance that there are only two white contestants in this round -- or that we're getting Monet and Monique back.

Season 1 is so underrated. Nina Flowers, Tammy Brown, Ongina, Bebe and Shannel are classic. (x-post)

An interesting All Stars would have a second chances theme for girls who were eliminated really early like Kelly Mantle or April Carrion.

As for this upcoming season, it looks to me like the first one without a predetermined winner in mind.

OK, so that holiday special was kind of ... really truly awful.

Yeah I heard enough advance word about it to steer clear.

Okay so anyway

If Obama released NCAA tournament predictions, does that mean I can do the same for RPDR #AllStars4? 🤔

(The right one went home tonight, frankly.)

That was kind of rote. Hardly anything surprising or, unfortunately, entertaining.

Also the timing of it just before Xmas seems weird, honestly. Guess we'll see where it goes...

Yeah it was kinda meh

Trixie summed it up best:

This ep had the benefit of coming a week after the worst thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

It was totally fine. Tho if I'm to be totally honest I think Monique won that LSFYL.

Also, seemed a little weird to re-introduce two previous all-stars and then both of them are merely safe the first week. Like, make at least one of them a serious threat?

(Which based on the talent show I kinda feel Manila actually was. Latrice, otoh, seemed saved in the editing room.)
