"For God's sakes, Lemon. We'd all like to flee to the Cleve and club-hop down at the Flats and have lunch with Little Richard, but we fight those urges because we have responsibilities."

Ok Pumpkin Spice Fatigue... don't you go stealing my acronym. I like Pumpkin Spice Lattes as much as the next 20-something white lady but this is A STEP TOO FAR.

I'm so disappointed in myself for not knowing about this. I love RuPaul so much that I named my fish RuPaul.
