And that's an interesting question, isn't it? Is the marker of a "drag superstar" their ability to perform live in some way? I've always thought "well, duh" but that might be what Ross was kind of alluding to when he said she could really change the whole drag scene. If Kim Chi were to win and since traditional…

For sure, it seems strategic when they do this limp 4 way meaningless lip sync and get rid of the queen who would have slayed the traditional LSFYL. There's no world in which Kennedy wouldn't beat Pearl or Violet even in a lip sync of a dance-centric traditional drag song (Violet could probably turn something if it…

I think it's great that there's a return to some more diversity after last seasons Aryan Airlines where a POC of was barely even in the top 4. I'm not arguing for quotas or anything but when some of the most beloved aspects of drag race (especially the drag ball lingo which RuPaul borrows so heavily from) are from…

Yasss, "show your work" realness, no need to apologize!

That green dress was so crazy looking and lived for it!

I mean, yes, we figured it out but it seemed like a weird choice to use the name that two queens share when it would be much more clear to just type Chi twice.

Oh I think Chi Chi has oodles more charisma than Dida and while some of Chi Chi's looks were less than polished, Dida always looked a damn mess. I was amazed in a season as strong as hers that she made it as far as she did! She could lip sync the house down though.

That's interesting because when I saw BOTS last year it had Bianca, Sharon, and Jinkx and I remember thinking "dang that's a lot of winners!" I know Sharon really grinded and did like every day of that tour; I wonder if since she's not comedy and she's only kind of a singer if she just has better luck going with BOTS…

Latrice and Chi Chi are really similar in that they were just so easy so love, amazing lip syncers, funny and can act, but lacked the taste level and polish that might have put them over the top. It might be hearsay but I think I like them equally! They also both re-wore boots a few times and called out for it!

Agreed. Sometimes RuPaul gets out of her lane and puts on her Self Help wig and I don't really think she's qualified to do this. I really don't believe she is trying to pull out these tears for the usual exploitative reality reasons but instead from her subtle desire to be a Dr. Phil kind of presence.

Ooh I hadn't seen that one and I'm glad…I really don't like seeing disembodied bellies on my facebook, be they before or after pictures!

Also, I have found the rise of this weird tea vaguely interesting so I want to read the linked article; this post was a Read This which is just a suggestion to read a more in depth piece on a particular subject.

Jamberry was huge for a while among my facebook friends and that didn't offend me so much because, sure, post pictures of your cute nail decals or whatever, but the tide seems to have turned and now they're on to LulaRo (or something like that) which appears to be "generic small town boutique wear" and it's not great.…

My mom would be so easy because she already has huge hair, loves guady jewelry (bonus points for sparkly crosses), lots of makeup, and a bold lip. Giant blingy metallic purse. Pair all of that with a sparkly caftan and some elastic waist pants from Chico's and you will be good to go (and probably wouldn't even have to…

I liked it, I loved the line about New York & Company (no shame, I've bought work clothes there before!) but thought she could have elevated it to make it draggier instead of just literally looking like an office worker. She was serving a little too much REALness for my tastes.

It did totally feel tacked on but I love Strangers with Candy so deeply it was hard for me to complain. When I told my husband what was happening he was like "wow, they are really pandering to their audience." I guess so if the audience is made up largely of people like me! They went to the trouble of making Amy…

I have no first-hand knowledge if our dessert options were good because I was a total cliche and couldn't eat anything at all!

One theory I saw is that they represent oppressors (Jack White is literally acting as a bad guy in his part of the song but it's not really explicit in the others.) Or she could just like their work and chose them to work with. When people say it's "for black women" I think they're just saying that it speaks to them…

I agree- I never minded Beyonce's music but always thought it felt very corporate and impersonal which is fine for pop music but not terribly compelling to me. But these songs and videos are great and actually made me feel something, so I'm into it!

Work It Out is a great song! And you almost wouldn't know it was from the soundtrack aside from the part at the end as it fades out where she says "Austin better work it out…"
