That is why we need Ru making jokes about how Michelle Visage is 100 years old.
It is not only funny but familiar.
It is not only cunty but comforting.
That is why we need this season now more than ever.
And a new season means a new crop of girls.
Shall we meet them?
Does that a bearded queen make?
She and Danny were competitors in a drag pageant and she lost.
Does that make Pixie the Coco Montrese of the season?
So she wins this round.
Jonbers Blonde: Being an East Londoner myself, I love a queen who lives at the Glory.
Shes queering the alphabet.
Baby, take note.
This is how you do SEO.
I was immediately in love.
in the face with Trixie Mattell?
Im not sure, but you Just May.
I cant wait for all of us to fall off the pier together.
Complete with about 864 inches of weave, this is a whole lot of queen.
Cheddar Gorgeous: She says she is 488 years old and is from the future.
Give this bitch the crown already.
Can we just scrap this challenge at this point?
Much like taking a selfie from below, I dont think this has ever resulted in one adequate picture.
However, one of them is not about where theyre from, like in past years.
The first look has to honor the 100th anniversary of the BBC.
You know, the people so cheap they wont even give these queens a real prize.
The second look is supposed to tell us about who the queens are.
Airing her tragic backstory so soon?
You know this girl is in big trouble.
Will she be the first queen to go?
This is the kind of synthesis that I want.
Take that look and make it drag, baby.
I feel the same way about both Mr. Blobbys.
Other queens took the theme a bit too literally.
Le Fil is actually justPudsey Bear.
I loved the queens who took it somewhere.
Thats the problem I had with both of Dakotas looks.
Her Anne Boleyn looked like a rejected costume idea for a regional production ofSix.
And for her best drag, she said she wanted to look like Anya Taylor-Joy in a Valentino campaign.
Thats cool and all, but that is not drag.
Its like real, actual glamour.
Drag is about taking that feminine ideal and amping it up to the thousandth degree.
I wanted to give her the win immediately.
You know Ru was pissed.
Is it possible that Starlet has no idea that she looks like a Tinkerbell Barbie?
Does she even know Tinkerbell and Barbie?
There may have been more bad looks than good.
She also entered in a look that said Copper Top.
Is she a typesetter or something?
Does her look always need to literally spell out the theme?
And let us not forget Just Mays look that was, again, a Geri Halliwell reference.
Her skin-tight tube dress had a print of her face all over it.
Its like saying that she is herself because, well, she is herself.
Do I think thats a little bit solipsistic and tautological?
Is she the British Symone?
Maybe, and I am here for every damn second.
It is May, Copper, and Dakota in the bottom, predictably.
