Per VG's comment there, Race Chasers is unsurprisingly now a totally essential listen. The episode with Ongina guesting was next level for the background detail there.

i am still kinda outraged that ongina didn’t actually get to be a spokesperson for MAC! jerksher story abt seeing Shanel for the first time & asking if she was a host was adorable
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 18 August 2018 02:58 (six years ago) link
Latest Race Chasers great as ever, and of course more behind the scenes stuff in general (Willam says that Sharon didn't shower on her season but that she was into it and they made out -- Alaska sounded unsurprised).
Meantime!

I'm catching up Race Chasers and lol at the interview with Shannel where their connection drops and reconnects after like 10 seconds and Shannel is STILL talking.
― Cold Stone Cream Austin (Leee), Tuesday, 4 September 2018 21:11 (six years ago) link
yeah everything about that interview was pure gold

honestly i didnt think i could love her more but Race Chasers has given me a whole new level of appreciation
Alaska and Willam are a perfect pairing, because one is a total acolyte and the other a total skeptic and they’re both equally smart about how the biz works
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 5 September 2018 01:28 (six years ago) link
exactly. i think as well it’s a great match bc they both seem to have a pretty amazing work ethic in life, not only for their own drag, but performing in general & gigs of any kind so it’s not like 90% of podcasts where they think the idea & their personality is enough, and then just faff through it. they’re both actually really trying to provide good content while still being themselves & it shows.

Best quote from todays Race Chasers, was Willam on Rebecca Glasscock:“That’s not even fashion. Dont’t call it that. Those are CLOTHES.”

It was interesting when they pointed out how for at least the first two seasons everyone was mostly off-the-rack with their wardrobe choices but now most queens wouldn’t even walk into the ~workroom~ in anything off-the-rack let alone on stage. (Unless you’re ChiChi DeVayne) (and I say that from a place of love)

went to Werq the World last night in montrealgreat show (although give the ticket prices, i'd sure hope so)Aquaria, Valentina, Violet Chachki, Eureka, Asia O'Hara, Kameron, Kim Chi, hosted by Bob the Drag Queen
to everyone's surprise (?) violet chachki stole the showthough i gotta say that one of eureka's numbers was amazing (and i hate eureka)
aquaria was great, really inhabits herself
asia did a piece about dying butterflies
― sean gramophone, Saturday, 8 September 2018 17:13 (six years ago) link
Might have been said before but Aquaria is the Valentina dream realized. She really exposed what Valentina was lacking this last season.

Also, picking up on Sean's post just above, Violet is starting to really come into her own here a couple more years down the line. She and Katya did the latest Fashion Photo Ruview and my girlfriend and I think she pretty easily stole the show:

My girlfriend also adding that in terms of look and absolutely cutting right to the chase and telling you what she thinks, she feels Violet has got some classic Boy George vibes about now.

There's no fight. Eureka inserted herself into a situation when she should've just sat there and ate her rice.

I wish they had waited a year before AS4, the line up feels a bit lacklustre and I think part of it is simply timing
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 11 November 2018 09:18 (five years ago) link
I think it's a great cast for the most part, but I agree they are milking that cow dry. Makes it feel less special to have an AS every year.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 12 November 2018 15:14 (five years ago) link
As much as I love them, calling back Latrice and Manila for another AS is redundant imo. Replace them and Farrah Moan with Nina Bonina, Shea, Ongina and Mariah and we've got a perfect cast (I know it's already been filmed).
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 12 November 2018 15:22 (five years ago) link
i dunno - AS 1 was weird because of the team format, i think giving them a second shot is fine

I don't think it's chance that there are only two white contestants in this round -- or that we're getting Monet and Monique back.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 November 2018 18:04 (five years ago) link
Season 1 is so underrated. Nina Flowers, Tammy Brown, Ongina, Bebe and Shannel are classic. (x-post)
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 12 November 2018 18:07 (five years ago) link
An interesting All Stars would have a second chances theme for girls who were eliminated really early like Kelly Mantle or April Carrion.
As for this upcoming season, it looks to me like the first one without a predetermined winner in mind.
