I don't think I've seen anybody mention The Little Prince, which is the piece of literature that has stuck with me the most over my lifetime. So I'm gonna go with that. It's something that captures the essence of so many things about the human experience - childhood innocence (and its loss), friendship, love, death,

Well, let's just thank Precious Roy for this product. It's the Precious Roy Pirate Cripplers! Now these shaved beavers have been raised since birth to attack wooden legs. This renders any pirate helpless!

It's like, "You're not a musician. You're my accountant."

"Ripping off their gay friends"? News flash from the straight world: Women had their own culture of wit, humor, shadiness and style amongst themselves, long before they started having widespread access to gay culture. I mean, when drag queens develop their personas, it ain't their daddies or their brothers they're

Well, AV Clubbers, Dr. Sidney Freeman is dead.

@avclub-e65076d21d4b718526e684473c359d55:disqus I so wish that could really happen. CGI Edna would. Be. EVERYTHING.

@avclub-354cba0b7ecec1d87911f67404d29af6:disqus I will totally endorse a Fudgie the Whale's Best Friend Race! All you have to do to be my BFF is write and perform a musical-comedy number explaining why you should win, transform my burly uncle into a drag goddess (using footwear provided by ShoesForQueens dot com -

Oh, Lord, that comment did me in. *dingdingding* We have a winner!

I think with both Phi Phi and Roxxxy, they were too immature to know the difference between confidence and arrogance. A confident person can acknowledge the skills of their competitors, but still believe in their own ability to win on their own merits. Arrogance is when you think your competition is totally beneath

Alyssa is definitely the exception when it comes to pageant girls,  not the rule. God bless her crazy face!

Wish I could like this comment more than once. And of course I read it in Edna's voice.

I know I'm showing my age with this reference, but Alaska's got sort of a Morris the Cat thing going on sometimes, particularly when he drops into that deeper register during some of the confessionals. He just gives me finicky feline realness. And I don't know why I like that, but I do. As you said though, different

I see your point. I have to say, Jinkx has talent and charm in bucketloads, but Alaska seems…I don't know…balanced? Maybe even happy? Not that her life is perfect, but that she basically likes herself and doesn't feel like a victim, despite any struggles in her past. That's very appealing to me, personally.

I am sorta the opposite. I'd love Alaska to be my BFF. I love Jinkx, don't get me wrong, but there's something about her speaking voice that I think would grate on me after a while. On the other hand, I could listen to Alaska talk foreverrrrrrr.

Roxxxy's closed-mindedness is so very, VERY irritating to me. She needs to look around at the world of drag a little bit more. Sure, polished looks are important, but if all you are is a clothes hanger, then you're never going to be a Drag Superstar. Compare Roxxxy to the RuPaul template:

Epic shopping spree at Party City? ;)

Anyone else tear up a little during Alaska's description of her relationship with Sharon? Sounds like they've got a good thing going, which is tough to find whether you're gay, straight, a drag queen or anything else. In a way it makes me feel that, no matter who ends up with the crown, Alaska's the real winner here.

@avclub-33beffd09a1b020d1187c6b4b264014a:disqus Oh, I see what you did there! Scent of a Woman!

So the girl who did silly sketch comedy on Teen Nick is now asking the dude who played a paraplegic former athlete on Teen Nick to annihilate her vajayjay.
