What a sad, silly way to end a decent season of the show. Don’t get us wrong; we like the idea of LOGO putting on a staged dragstravaganza, but we’d rather see them attempt it as a variety show or series of specials rather than as a hastily put-together afterthought for a...
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Psych!Ugh. Y’know, we were fully prepared to start this recap off with the word “Ugh,” and then follow it with another 700 words on how disgusted we are by the win, but instead we’re ughing over something completely different. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Bitches on ParadeWe’re going to do things a little differently this time and run parallel commentaries both on the show generally and on the challenges in this episode specifically. Let’s see if we can pull it off and all come together at the end. Well. It’s always fun until someone... RPDR: Such Devoted Sisters!Hit it, girls! We kinda felt like the criticisms leveled at them were a bit on the arbitrary side. No, they didn’t literally look like sisters, but Phi Phi was the only queen who managed that. What Jesse Tyler Ferguson said about them looking like friends in a Tyler Perry movie was... RuPaul’s Drag Race: NO MO HOs!We stand with our more glamorous sisters during their Norma Rae moment: Damn straight skippy, queens. Ew. Ew. We just can’t with this one. We figured it wouldn’t be Willam but we shouldn’t have been surprised it was Kenya. Michelle Visage has always had an inexplicable... RPDR: Politics as UsualWe’re a couple of white boys, so it’s not for us to say whether the “The Help” joke was offensively racist. Our problem with it is that it just wasn’t funny. Drag is almost always politically incorrect in one form or another, so a talented queen... RuPaul’s Drag Race: It’s Debatable!A drunken platform shoe decorating contest! Oh, why can’t there by gay summer camps with activities like this? This is, after all, why God invented queens; so that they could go and teach underprivileged children the value of sequins. The results were about what you’d expect,... RPDR: Upchuck and Kai KaiWe think we speak on behalf of all America when we say… WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!?!? But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. *tinkly flashback music with accompanying wavy screen effects* It all started quite innocently. Or at least, as innocently as things get with a... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Catwalks ‘n CoversHit it, Ladyboys! None of the covers really stood out more than the others. They pretty much all looked cheap and awkward, but Sharon dressing up as Little Edie for a cat magazine cover was kind of genius and the captions were pretty funny. But the judges don’t want to give her... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Cover Girl! Put the Bass in Y...We’re somewhat disappointed with the readings last night. We expect our queens to be witty at the drop of a hat and most of this crowd, sadly, didn’t come through for us. You’d think these queens would spend some time working out a reading routine, since they know... RPDR: Seamen on the Catwalk!This was fine, but we agreed with the judges that it was pretty much a literal showgirl look, which made it kind of an odd choice for a boat-themed Pride float. She looked good, but the concept was kind of half-assed. That’s the cutest her face has ever looked. She’s putting more... RPDR: Wet Hot American Parking LotWe loved the conceit that the crowd consisted of straight guys on spring break. Because that’s what spring break is all about; hanging out in parking lots and watching semi-naked men spread their legs, amirite boys? And of course, no spring break wet t-shirt contest would be complete... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Catwalk KittiesHit it, hos. This, to us, is the most boring kind of drag queen. There’s no “character” here; it’s just a queen in a dress and wig. Totally dime-a-dozen. She looks pretty enough, we suppose, but totally generic. We were with the judges on this one: if... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Cock ‘n Bull StoryWho, darlings? Who are the viciously hilarious queens who come up with challenges like “Pin a cock on Ru’s mouth?” Because we would like to shake their hands. We like to occasionally pretend that we’re funny queens, but this crew is operating on a whole different... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Catwalk FolliesWe’ll grant you that this is at least partially fueled by our dislike of his character, but isn’t Phi Phi’s face pretty consistently jacked up? Which is odd, because he’s one of the cutest boys out of drag, with a face practically made for makeup, all big eyes and... RPDR: Toot-Toot! Hey! Beep-Beep!Quality Pubic Televison. Oh, shut up. Puns are cool. Once again we L-O-L’d at the challenge this week: to be handcuffed to your team mate, get your makeup done by them, and have your mug shot photo taken. A little holding cell ki-ki for the masses. Freaking hilarious. Are there new... RuPaul’s Drag Race: Claws out on the Catwalk!Hit it, ladies! We hate to say it, but we are so not feeling this one. And her catwalk performances always seem frantic and weirdly robotic at the same time. Serving up Joan Van Ark-at-the-’86-Emmys realness. Enh. Not memorable. Bitch needs to start cashing those checks... RuPaul’s Drag Race: FROM NOW ON, QUEEN.Darlings, we’re packing up and heading out today, New York Fashion Week only a happy memory in our minds. Yes, we are quite behind on our TV blogging. All we ask is that our Bitter Kittens remain patient. We’ll be in transit most of today but from Friday to Sunday, we’ll get... RPDR: Drag Your Kitty Down the CatwalkDarlings, we must dash off to fashion shows this morning, so we’ll have to be quick about this one. At least there are lots of pictures for you to look at. Is anyone else just a little freaked out by her? J’ADORE. And it shows some shrewd thinking, showing the judges early on that... RPDR: Booty SlamCan we just say – as we have said many times before about this show – that we are constantly amazed… by its ability to provide delicious eye candy (although pornstache really needs to rethink the whiskers)… with hilarious challenges that are so campy they’d make... RPDR: Blood on the Catwalk!Hit it, bitches! As we said in our previous recap, we wound up liking Willam a bit against our wills. She was funnier than we expected. Not quite as pretty as she claims, but this was a good look. It was the wig that came close to ruining it. “Apocolops” in the house,... |
