i wish i had cool drag friends when i wasnt a loving lump and i still looked good and felt good to do cool gay man in womens clothes poo poo like grope very clearly and obviously homophobic white men in outings deliberately scoping out old boys bars where the same people drink at the same time in the same place every loving day and look cockeyed at anybody that walks in that they dont immediately recognize

There's definitely something to the newer generation being sheltered, for lack of a better word. This sounds like boomer posting but the old guard of drag did grow up and perform in a much rougher and dangerous environment, ending up with a thicker skin. I think we can all agree it wasn't a good thing that they had to but it shaped the culture we have today. I don't know how you can transfer that culture down to the next generation without that context but I'm interested to see how they'll try.

Just makes me think of this (and laugh again)

Realistically any adult gay person here has probably lived through something very similar to this and knows what it's about, being gay and having sex 20 years ago was so startlingly unrecognizable to what it is now that having it pop up in other industries should be a pleasant surprise since you know how to think your way through it if you got this far.

Apparently the show right after Drag Race is Real Friends of WeHo which just added Todrick to the cast so some people are real mad that Todrick is still messing with Drag Race from beyond the grave and cutting into the runtime.

That is wild to me but starting drag underage is pretty on brand for old school drag

... No. NO? No.

edit: this makes me more critical of her entrance, the pads and hip belt-danglies were giving very droopy, she should shape for more upward momentum on the hips. I am a fat-assed bitch, so this comes from a place of love. Do not droop your thighs downward for the audience automatically!

Nah, it's been 'an hour' since season 10, that means 60-63 minutes of show, 90 minutes of tv air time, season 9 and before it was 60 minutes of air time but 42 minutes of show.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I wish this was a non-elimination!! This cast is so good and I can already sense this season will be an all-timer. Anetra had my favourite talent show performance ever the moment she bounced up from that dip with her bionic spine.

Just thought of the best gag for an All Stars lipsync where they do the whole "who is that??" thing and then the lipsync assassin is Ruvealed to be one of the current contestants and the camera cuts back to the queens and she's suddenly not sitting with them.

really strong cast this season!

the twins are moderately obnoxious but as others have posted they seem eager to learn and aren't too arrogant

Salina Estitties is a friend of mine from waaaaay back lol. I'd forgotten she got into drag, that was after we kind of lost touch. She's really good and I've gotta root for her.

I wholeheartedly agree. She was great, and I think she was the victim of Ru pushing for a Kennedy win, even when force Kennedy wins even when she wasn't deserving. That music video parody challenge was one of those.

Aug 16, 2008

:gowron::m10:
The music video win was definitely rigga morris, but I do think Kennedy's Snatch Game was worthy of a solo win for the risky choice in addition to being one of the funniest in a surprisingly strong SG. Seriously, for all the flak S7 gets for doing a bunch of acting/comedy challenges with non-comedy queens, they did one of the best SGs.

On a tangential note, Yuhua deserves an AS spot too. I hope her work on Bootleg Opinions is enough to get on WoW's radar. She just reviewed the S15 entrance looks with Pangina (and releasing the runway video soon). Looking back at them, Mistress's entrance look is :perfect:

Yip Yip, bitch.
I am liking this season so far. The bedroom queens are fine. The pageant queens are fine. Sasha Colby is amazing, and making me question my gayness. Anetra is unexpectedly delightful.

Ra’jah’s 1 minute sew is still the best talent of all the talent shows.

To me it's more that Mistress has the personality and perspective of a woman who has been on this earth way longer than 24 years.

It's definitely this. I was shocked at her age when it was mentioned but after thinking it's quite clear that she's still young if you look at her. It's her vibe that gives the impression of a much older queen.

Nihonniboku

It doesn't help that she said that where she's from, she's considered one of the younger queens because the queens there are so seasoned. That gives the impression that she's actually quite old, but still treated like a newbie. But it's also such a 24 year old thing to say, that they're not young anymore.

Yeah, this season is stacked. I really love most, if not all of the queens. They really brought their A-game! It's going to be sad every sashay.

Salina was going through some pretty tough personal poo poo when we lost contact, super glad to see she's bounced back and is an incredibly confident and powerful drag queen.

She went to school for dance and is gonna bust out some moves at some point I'm sure.
