Ivy is in a relationship still, right? No kai kai there?

Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 20:47 (ten years ago) link

Yup. They just hit it off as friends.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 20:48 (ten years ago) link

Including a kind-of cryptic hint that three coronations were filmed but nobody knew which was going to be chosen, which would make sense:

they did that last season too and you can totally tell bcz there's no, like, real excitement when the winner is announced on tv; you can totally tell they're acting.

Yeah I was thinking "Hmm, Jinkx seems too...restrained?" So that doesn't surprise me at all.

Meantime Season 4 is finally back streaming in full through the official site so I can properly catch up:

http://www.logotv.com/shows/rupauls_drag_race/season_4/series.jhtml

And if I posted every cool thing Jinkx has been up to lately I might as well rename the thread but if you're on FB you've been getting it all there, so.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 18 May 2013 15:11 (ten years ago) link

Those fools. I have been sooo close to buying that season on iTunes for the last few weeks.

Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Sunday, 19 May 2013 06:21 (ten years ago) link

Hahah you were NOT alone.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 19 May 2013 06:22 (ten years ago) link

Fasten my seat belt. It's time to discover exactly why Phi Phi O'Hara was the single most hated queen in all Drag Race history.

Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Sunday, 19 May 2013 06:26 (ten years ago) link

ugh god she's awful, she's just bitchy and mean but not clever about it one bit

siouxsan sarandon (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 19 May 2013 08:14 (ten years ago) link

ooh I want to see Season 4! yay!

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 19 May 2013 14:48 (ten years ago) link

It's definitely fun/weird to finally see the ascent of Sharon Needles after seeing Season 5; if anything I'm more used to Alaska being her own thing rather seeing her through Sharon's lens, so the two actually come across as very individual characters as a result.

Phi Phi gives off Tatianna vibes from the get-go, I have to say.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 19 May 2013 16:09 (ten years ago) link

honestly I'm kinda interested to see Willam

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 19 May 2013 16:49 (ten years ago) link

i've only watched ep 1 of S4 but Sharon Needles' runway was badass. The fake blood? ugh. so awesome.

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 19 May 2013 19:34 (ten years ago) link

then again i would expect my namesake to be nothing short of rad :)

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 19 May 2013 19:35 (ten years ago) link

Willam I sorta liked and then hated and then adored once I realized how clever she actually is. I think Snatch Game was the turning point for me and I was like "ok I get it this queen is fucking smart"

siouxsan sarandon (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 19 May 2013 21:18 (ten years ago) link

willam is next level. love her.

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 19 May 2013 21:26 (ten years ago) link

I love how her general drag steez seems to be 'tired LA has-been drunk in the afternoon.' That whole bored, slightly staggering in too-high heels is the best. And I love watching her get read by Phi Phi. Nothing fazes her.

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 19 May 2013 21:55 (ten years ago) link

Yeah that bit in the opening credits for Untucked is hilarious. Just that pause before saying anything.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 19 May 2013 22:54 (ten years ago) link

she should play nfl. that's one hell of a block

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 19 May 2013 23:04 (ten years ago) link

i remembered last night that I hadn't quite finished season 3, so i've now only got the finale left. Man oh man the transformation of Tyra is almost unbelievable. The speech she makes in the Diva Award episode, my jaw was on the floor. Tyra is funny! and legit sincere without being weird and awkard. I already know she won but damn I can see why. No idea why tatianna made it as long as she did, it's like if you blew in her ear, pillow stuffing would come out the other side.
I loved the old-queens makeover in that season too. Some really beautiful moments in that one, such a good concept.

And I'm about 1/3 into S4. I am crushing HARD on sharon needles out of drag. jesus. She has such a good personality in general, I really like the way she is in the untucked episodes. Not at all what I expected. And I really love seeing the way Latrice is kind of taking Jiggly under her wing. Unlike Phi Phi who just turns every heartbreaking moment into a story about her, which woudl be fine if it was her moment but gaaaah would you STOP

I hope you're being a good girl & reading old TLo recaps as you watch!

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Tuesday, 21 May 2013 23:26 (ten years ago) link

Phi Phi is the worst. The WORST! Sharon & Alaska out of drag both totally crush-worthy, smart & cool.

I now have a term for my house-kaftans out-of-doors look: bed, bath & beyonce!

emilys., Tuesday, 21 May 2013 23:29 (ten years ago) link

xxpost what are TLo recaps?

I've almost seen all of season 4 now and have been keeping my mouth shut about The Big Dramatic Shocker I sense VG has yet to reach. Because she'd kill me if I spoiled THAT.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 21 May 2013 23:46 (ten years ago) link

If it's to do with Willam then I know it already. I spoiled it for myself by googling her ages ago :(

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 21 May 2013 23:56 (ten years ago) link

I'm *very* glad I didn't do that; it made the whole thing a 'what the' moment beyond description.

Sharon & Alaska out of drag both totally crush-worthy, smart & cool.

I do like how the fact they found each other just seems so right, really. I also like the difference in their speaking voices, you get Sharon as peppy without being silly/bubbly vs. Alaska's amazing drawls, which I kinda want to imitate forever.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 21 May 2013 23:57 (ten years ago) link

Oh my god, thank you for giving something to read tomorrow en route between here and my folks' place.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 00:01 (ten years ago) link

I'm happy to help!

man I need a book of Willam lines

tuckahoe episode is a goldmine -- pwns Muchnik about why Rupaul can call her Willam but he can't 'because she's holding a check for a hundred thousand dollars'

milan 'just swiffered the floor with his taint'

'i don't get why people throw their wigs. this isn't wig wars.'

oh and I had my seasons mixed up. I finished s2 with the Other Tyra. And I started s3 last night. I can only watch s4 online so I don't watch that as much, but s3 is streaming for free on amazon.

um s3? raja already has me with my jaw on the floor. that girl is str8 FYAH

VegemiteGrrl, have you watched Willam's Beatdown on YouTube?

tokyo rosemary, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 23:40 (ten years ago) link

omg I just found out about it.

tonight's viewing :D

you guys I am LIVING for Willam. i can't even tell you. she speaks to my bitchy smartass soul.

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 23:44 (ten years ago) link

Willam is some kinda crazy genius. I also loved his explanation in the S4 finale as to what happened.

I am pleased to see VG understand the greatness that is Raja.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 May 2013 01:59 (ten years ago) link

when Raja walked into the workroom wearing that pink cyclops hat I was like OMG WHO IS THAT, total love at first sight. and then she dressed up as Labyrinth Bowie in the space movie trailer, and she was Grace Jones C-3PO on the space episode runway. BOW DOWN.
