Drag Race UK: Hannah Conda and Tia Kofi clear up “silly” narrative over wins

Ahead of the Drag Race UK vs the World finale, Hannah Conda and Tia Kofi reflect on their respective journeys, straighten out a particular narrative from “bastards on the internet” and feel the rain on their skin. That last part will make sense later. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC ‘Demolished’ is an apt word for Hannah Conda and Tia Kofi’s performances on this season of Drag Race UK vs the World. With a respective three and four challenge wins, the Australian and British duo will make…

Drag Race: Scarlet Envy addresses ‘surprising’ UK vs the World drama

Scarlet Envy speaks with GAY TIMES about her “surprising” rift with Hannah Conda and why she’s “glad” she was eliminated instead of Marina Summers. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC “Scarlet Envy” and “viral” go hand-in-hand at this point. Ahead of her stint on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6, the Southern beauty added a new phrase into the ever-expanding queer lexicon – “is it me, am I drama?” – while a resurfaced clip from season 11, in which she put the “race” in “Drag Race“, had…

Drag Race UK: Why Choriza May wanted another double elimination

Catherine of Aragon’s praise beyond the grave. Marge Simpson’s “blue muff”. Eating ass. Incoming: a very serious interview with Drag Race UK vs the World star Choriza May. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC Choriza May might have sashayed away from Drag Race UK vs the World in sixth place, but it doesn’t matter: her 2021 debut single ‘My Pussy is Like a Peach’ has just surpassed three billion streams on Spotify.

Why ask me here then?”: Drag Race UK star Gothy Kendoll on ‘annoying’ critique

Gothy Kendoll has broken her silence on the most annoying critiques she received on Drag Race UK vs the World.  For the fifth episode of the beloved UK-based series, the seven remaining queens tapped into their inner showgirl for Six: the Musical-inspired Rusical, “Seven: Confessions of Drag Queen.”  However, unlike previous Rusicals, the queens were tasked with writing their own verses and singing live.  While most of the queens delivered dazzling showmanship and comedic original lyrics, Gothy and Choriza’s performances failed to captivate the judge’s panel, resulting in their bottom two…

Drag Race UK vs the World: All 8 Snatch Game performances, ranked

Major spoilers ahead for the fourth episode of Drag Race UK vs the World.  ‘Unhinged’ is the adjective we’d use to describe this week’s edition of Snatch Game – and, to be honest, it’s the adjective we always want to use in reference to Drag Race‘s staple challenge. Rather that than “romper room fuckery”, huh? For their fourth maxi, the eight remaining contestants on UK vs the World season two – Choriza May, Gothy Kendoll, Hannah Conda, Keta Minaj, La Grande Dame, Marina Summers, Scarlet Envy and Tia Kofi – flexed…
