Drag Race is finally giving us what we asked for

admin, , , ,

One thing about RuPaul’s Drag Race is that there will be discourse. With such a massively popular show, it’s a bit inevitable that almost every action (or inaction) by RuPaul and the show’s producers cause conversation. Last week, Marcia Marcia Marcia complained about the show no longer requiring queens to sing for the Rusical (amongst other grievances.) The fandom rose up and cried foul pretty much unanimously when the show was shortened to hour-long episodes and the series later uploaded them at their full length.  Well, there’s a chance season…

Law Roach for permanent Drag Race judge, please!

admin, , , ,

Friday night’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race was a bit packed. Between a Mini Challenge featuring Charo (maybe a wink to the recent launch of Drag Race Espana All Stars), and all the Werk Room scheming, there’s much to get into. This week’s Maxi Challenge was essentially a task of design and branding: create a look for yourself and your doll, as well as a voiceover to tell the story of said doll.  In the Werk Room, there’s a slight scramble over fabrics. Nymphia Winds gives another swing at her…

The girls need to go beyond lip syncs for the Drag Race talent show

admin, , , ,

The RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise is a behemoth. It’s been going on so long that most of its contestants started drag after the show launched. And there’s so many spin-offs that there’s at least one version airing somewhere all year. That couldn’t be clearer than in season 16’s premiere as we watch queens constantly making references to the show’s own history. But all that means is it’s going to take a little more to stand out. Season 16 launched with a two-part premiere (a tradition that has lasted over the…
