You’re probably right, but I wouldn’t draw the conclusion you do from it. The commercials from AS2 were technically not edited by the queens but it didn’t stop all of them from making stuff that was identifiably theirs, for better or worse. Trixie pretty much nailed the branding of the soup can, so it could be done.

As much as I do not care for Shangela as a reality show presence, it was a really tough call for me. Assuming this season is played fairly the rest of the way (*side-eye to camera*), Shangela is the only one outside of DeLa with any sort of consistency. Despite her outfit being the worst, she’s the only one at this…

I agree with you about the lip-sync insofar as there was nothing Trixie could do. But it felt really unfair to see a strong, effortFUL performance get trounced by something that was next to effortless.

Half-assed is a pretty generous compliment to what Trixie, possibly correctly, calls the worst look on Drag Race ever. It’s at least the worst look of the season.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

‘...the judges can’t give Shangela shit for covering her disco garment in records when everyone is hiding their body underneath a soup can for half of the runway.’

This was the episode All-Stars needed at this point. A creative challenge that wasn’t just ‘pull out this pre-prepared character/look/performance’ is exactly the type of thing All-Stars should traffic in more often. Was it super exciting or well-edited? No, but the format switches back to 90 minutes next week so I’m…

A person who creates an animal character and sometimes wears anything from a tail to a full-body animal outfit to conventions or whatever. From what I gather it’s a bunch of innocuous nerds nerding it up together.

I’ve mentioned this before but I lived with a furry for two years and he was a totally alright dude. I think the concept is hilarious but it’s not cool to bully any subculture as long as they aren’t harming others, and apart from some overactive libidos (not relating to the costuming) my roommate filled me in on,…

Idk if this is a parody or reality (a chilling notion) but it’s lame either way.

Seeing Rosanne Barr tweet “lowkey” is one of those things that makes me wish the apocalypse would just hurry it up already.

I don’t agree. The political climate has leaked into the pop culture climate, so now people have blinders on about silly things like Drag Race. Every controversial, cruel or annoying moment from Shangela just galvanizes her supporters and makes her ‘haters’ gnash their teeth. There is no switching sides. This is war.

This is art. Brava.

Good luck for the 2-hour-episode season to come.

I think I might love you.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen the list of names but I believe I’m team Miz/Monet/Vixen. There’s a rumor that The Vixen freaks out about a white queen wearing dreads on the runway (which I am not looking forward to discussion, honestly) but she had the best verse in Cocky and her lewk is so on point. I’m ready for…

Agreed. People here are way more willing to engage and discuss than in other communities, and any undue nonsense is quickly dealt with or ignored. I miss the AV Club, I wish things hadn’t changed :(

Parts of the Drag Race Reddit love the shit out of her. Several people called her woefully mediocre Bitchelor character ‘hilarious’ to crowd approval. Any disagreement is generally shouted down. IN FACT, there was a Reddit comment just last night about how this very comments section was saying gross things about…

Oh totally. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been accused of my dislike of Shangela having a racial component, despite no evidence. Apparently since some people are racist dickholes to the black queens we all have to love them unconditionally.

I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em. I had a lot of harsh words for Milk too, but I’m guessing you don’t care about that.
