Work keeps getting in the way. Random ‘pinions!

I’ve misquoted it before, but Katya has this line - “Remember when drag queens were all mean and poor? Now they’re all rich and nice.” RPDR is precisely the mechanism to this sea change.

I’ve said before that sometimes, the best that Team Look queens can hope for is to maybe just not wholly embarrass themselves. I mean, Raja and Violet may not have bowled us over with their comedic or talent chops. But goddamn if Raja didn’t at least land a handful of jokes in S3's morning news and Snatch Game, and…

A little late to the game, vacation, y’know - but here, have some Random ‘pinions:

I can’t help but wonder if that was its own kind of strategic decision.

We’ve seen plenty enough queens create their own wardrobe - from Roxxy and Bianca to Shea and Asia, often to great effect.

It’s literally the first thing we said in my household when she came out.

Watch the next LSFYL be a twenty minute Yngwie Malmsteen guitar solo.

I’m still waiting on an air theremin.

Here’s the thing - you’re right; Monique’s runway is attractive and well-constructed, and particularly impressive for the handicap she gives herself.

It’s been occurring to me that Vixen’s confrontationalism is kind of an important representation of the difficulties of activism and woke social justice in the age of the Cheeto Tyrant.

Oh, yeah - the court order is precisely the legal run-in I’m talking about.

After AS3's spoiler-fuckery, I’m hoping WoW’s hot lid on the leak pipeline has put these squarely back in the realm of conjecture.

Only by virtue of having Untucked air immediately after, do I recall someone (Eureka, I think?) corroborating Vixen’s appraisal that Cracker and Blair got the negative critiques, whereas she didn’t.

...”hand”.

For all the many varied schools of drag the show has highlighted over 10 seasons, lipsyncing is the common denominator, the one unifying skillset that most all the queens should have under their belt, give or take a Charlie Hides.

3) Kameron’s LEWWWRRRKS have been impressing me mightily these past several episodes. It’s been occurring to me that the last several Team Look queens we’ve seen go all the way, mostly just need to keep from embarrassing themselves in these talent challenges, which Kameron manages to surpass tonight. She stays…

I’m trying to situate the taping (last summer?) against the unfolding of the growing #MeToo and related movements, with particular attention to the revelation of Kevin Spacey cementing in the movement that men can also be victims of sexual harassment and abuse.

Sorry I missed y’all last week - travel! So just a few Random ‘pinions tonight:

The whole Alaskan Summer category was a bunch of swimwear by design; it’s a limiting straightjacket of a premise to work from, but Aquaria managed to package a whole lot of fantasy, and to my mind a complete narrative in that skimpy little thing.
