are you guys all onto the fact that Matthu Andersen *left the show* early this season & now Raven is doing Ru's face & Delta Work is doing Ru's hair.
I heard something about that. Curious.

Her hair and face look great as usual, it's her padding that seems oddly off this season.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Sunday, 28 May 2017 00:15 (six years ago) link
her hair this season is a lot smaller and much more wig-looking than matthu's work. and her hairlines have not been great if you go back and look. not compared to the airbrushed wizardry of matthu's hairlines for ru that made every 3 foot high wig look like it was naturally growing out of her scalp.

let me investigate Read U Wrote U
oh right this!
My boyfriend and I met Shea Coulée, Bianca Del Rio, Kim Chi, Shangela and Detox on the street in Montréal last night!!! They were all completely drunk but super sweet and having a good time. Shea even tried to speak french with us :-)

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 03:19 (six years ago) link
They were coming out of a strip club where they went after their show. Shangela was singing and dancing around with Detox and Bianca was laughing and talking very loud. We got hugs and kisses from everyone. Kim is very tall and has soft lips.

Okay, you win.

― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 03:41 (six years ago) link
Oh and Bianca and Detox were wearing Valentina t-shirts and Shangela had her own portable selfie light that she pulled out just before we took a picture with her!
― LeRooLeRoo, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 03:48 (six years ago) link

I hope this works. I'm the one on the left. Sadly, we don't have Shea and Bianca because their crew came to get them before we had time to ask for a picture.

obviously it was a losing performance but i was honestly very into nina's morose bunny rendition of "cool for the summer." in a different context it would have been a really interesting spin on that song? like maybe she's playing the other half of the bi tryst and isn't ready for it to end. she was really serving like that sad gaze w/ the batting eyelashes.

(Okay maybe too harsh but *finally*.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 3 June 2017 04:02 (six years ago) link
Also, surely that was the first time ever it was a male-sung song in the lip sync.
Native American outfit predictably on the nose & fucking terrible BYE BITCH
Peppermint lip-syncing - it's like she becomes a human ray of sunshine! I love watching her
I lolled so hard at Sasha's "Sexy Unicorn", it was so her = completely covered, not sexy, complete with medieval tapestry referent ❤️
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 3 June 2017 07:01 (six years ago) link
I thought Peppermint's personality carried her through this week, because the silhouettes she wore for Village People and rainbow flag were identical. Her lipsync was so good, though. Neither of them really knew the words, but she knew the song. I liked her gawky walk bit.
― trishyb, Saturday, 3 June 2017 10:14 (six years ago) link
Untucked this time was definitely a good portrait of someone trying to front, getting an emotional boost and then it allllll goes south.
(Also, 8 years trying for the show and that was your A-game?)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 3 June 2017 13:30 (six years ago) link
Alexis's VO in Untucked, walking miserably back to the workroom after her elimination: "I'm my own toughest critic."
Girl, wha?
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 3 June 2017 15:13 (six years ago) link
In packing, she seemed somewhere between not too angry, not too crushed, and not too both feet on the ground.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 3 June 2017 15:21 (six years ago) link
Her mom and step dad are A+, at least.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 3 June 2017 15:30 (six years ago) link
So now it's a top 4 where...I'm fine with all of them? I *kinda* assume Peppermint won't make the final cut but I don't know; Trinity still irritates me a touch but she has skills. The other two, obvious slam dunks.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 3 June 2017 15:32 (six years ago) link
Yeah. It's a replay of last year where I like all of the top 4, and the least polished one with the kindest personality is the one that doesn't quite make it.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 3 June 2017 16:26 (six years ago) link
saw Shea perform & co-host a drag race viewing party last night
she said something about how she was terrified to meet Ru bc of what she had heard from season 7 queens but that Ru was really kind and friendly towards her. she said she thinks maybe Ru just hated the s7 queens lol
and obv she slayed the house down performing. she walked past me to get on stage & her perfume smelled amazing
ps Jasmine Masters also performed! she was good too though she didnt seem to care as much about the actual lipsync at times
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 3 June 2017 16:46 (six years ago) link
Reminds me that I enjoyed these articles I found last night -- first, Shea and Sasha, from articles well before they were announced for season 9, so it's a nicely different perspective

http://forward.com/culture/art/318495/sasha-velours-talmud-of-drag/
And this one on Trinity, after the season had started, but a lot of background info

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 3 June 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link
oh and: witnessed an amazing drag queen. Chevelle Boom Boom Brooks (found out after she is Jiggly's drag mom & Kennedy Davenport's drag sister - their drag mom is Kelexis)
She looked like millie jackson in a chaka khan wig. Literally threw herself around & headbanged to a medley of live Beyonce including Formation in this incredible sequined cape. She tore the mfing place DOWN holy fuck she was good.
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 3 June 2017 17:03 (six years ago) link
ugh fuckin Alexis... she wasn't even that bad compared to some of the demons we've had in previous seasons, but the sense of like indignant and deluded entitlement really made me sad and uncomf, like "no, you don't understand, I worked hard so therefore this is good" and it's like bitch👏you👏have👏no👏taste👏
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 3 June 2017 18:02 (six years ago) link
also acc to http://www.alextheatre.org/event/world-of-wonder-presents-rupauls-drag-race-s9-grand-finale the finale is taping next week but acc to VH1's tv listings, next week is another regular episode, so I guess we have YET ANOTHER season of horrible pre-taped faux-reaction from the winner, ugh, this is the worst worst finale setup of any reality competition show ever
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 3 June 2017 18:09 (six years ago) link
Alexis deluded entitlement otm
Sasha & Shea are her biggest competition?The skirt is like what you would buy at Saks after the runway show?This will be the first of many trophies? Maybe she'll wear that dress in All-Stars????
Like I understand putting on a brave face but GURL
Also what "many trophies"? Golf?
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 3 June 2017 18:34 (six years ago) link
her taste is so BASIC but she thinks she's fuckin Linda Evangelista

I could not stop loling @ Sasha cracking up in Untucked
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 3 June 2017 18:40 (six years ago) link
Poor Alexis. She's so unlikable. At least Shannel was always well put together (even if she wasn't my style).
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 3 June 2017 23:37 (six years ago) link
Last year they did Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" which was great! There was also Fred Schneider's part in "Love Shack" this season, though I wish I could forget it. And of course, they've done numerous RuPaul songs.
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 3 June 2017 23:51 (six years ago) link
I haven't watched Project Runway in a while so maybe I'm out of touch with what's high fashion, but I thought that Sasha's cowboy look was very dowdy.
Alexis had skills, and I don't think she got to the top 5 just because the season needed a villain, but I really dislike the sort of rehearsed staginess that she brought to everything except the final moments of Untucked. Also, I love how fast she backtracked on her Native American look: AM: "I was going for more of a ready-to-wear look."S: "But the judges wanted high fashion."AM: "Oh I mean the skirt was ready-to-wear, my bustier is totally couture."And you kind of new the moment she said that she was drawn to those stones that she'd cook up something that bland. (Also also her makeup was terrible. And the hair, ugh.)
It's a shame that Peppermint said she wanted to avoid lipsyncing for her life, because every time she does she just slays me. She's a lipsync assassin.
I think I have more patience for Trinity than everyone else here (that posterior is a work of art), but it's obvious why people can find her aggravating.
