'...and DON'T *bleep* IT UP!' -- the RuPaul's Drag Race thread

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.

honestly I'm kinda interested to see Willam

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

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

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"

willam is next level. love her.

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

Ooh, gurl: http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/tag/rupauls-drag-race

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

I'm happy to help!

weee thank u FFM!

Oh BTW

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?

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.

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.

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.

okay I am dooooooooooown the Willam/Stylish rabbit hole, I won't blather on but I'll just share this random thing that I found unintentionally

hmm.

better

Lollllll "I think it's named after a place in Greece or somethin"

It's a fuckin Escobar party

i watched so many of these goddamn videos last night I dreamed Willam was my roommate

Ha ha ha, awesome.

this gif for posterity

(it's vaginal deodorant spray looool)

she also eats elmers glue on camera and doesn't even flinch lol

Finished Season 3

Raja definitely was the shit. But man, that was one bitchy season. Not like normal bitchy, but like, embarrassing high school bitchy with all that heathers/boogers bullshit. That whole thing was pretty facepalm. I am NO fan of Shangela, she's annoying as hell...and yes Stacy Lane Matthews was 90% of the time not rising to the challenges at all, but still. That was some really junior-level stuff going on behind the scenes. I had kinda liked Delta Work's steez but the way she embraced the heathers thing, and the bitchiness from her was really offputting. Raja too.

But at the end of the day, one thing is clear. Mimi Imfurst is batshit fucking crazy.

Heathers vs. Boogers was an essential conflict, imo.

it was good for added drama, I def agree with that. I think it's more that I still have ptsd from all the stupidly-named cliques from high school

I only know Mimi Imfust from a local drag revue she hosts but her personality strikes me as deeply unpleasant. I remember one time she asked for a bunch of volunteers to come on stage and then made them totally on-the-spot take their shirts and pants off and stand their in their underwear (or look like spoilsports if they didn't want to or felt uncomfortable) and started fucking *grabbing their dicks* and I'm just like wtf is wrong with you? No one is consenting to this (except but passively to save face I guess)! What if this, I don't know, makes the participants deeply uncomfortable? Then they had to run around and people shoved money in their undies for "charity" or her tab or I don't even fucking know but it was p disgusting.

Also it was in front of like hundreds and hundreds of people.

That's fucked up. Bitch be crazy

She later did a fucking incredible performance of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" perched atop a wooden coffin that Sharon Needles was hiding in but I still think she's p rotten. I've only seen the first ep of S3 and don't wanna watch the rest til I can reliably track down all the Untuckeds.

so sad: Willam's Beatdown on indefinite hiatus. The Stylish channel wasn't renewed by youtube, apparently? ;_;

Logo just posted all of season 4 for Memorial Day, if anyone needs to catch up.

Someone gave me an itunes card so I ended up buying season 4 + untucked. :D

Meanwhile, Raja's got a new thing going:

AND a new single coming out tomorrow

i love watching raja do makeup.
