RUPAULS DRAG RACE SEASON 4 : FIRST EPISODE REVIEW... Wow the mones have me cunty this a.m?! I apologize in advance.

I just finished watching the first episode of OZ, er I mean RUPAULS DRAG RACE, ok so I guess this season they're walking for TALENT... but Face??.. UM....not-so-much.
This year the dolls are a little more rough around the edges.. AND THE GUM LINE! Ru on the other hand is looking lovely.. WAS IT A PLOT?! I mean the fastest way to look MORE PRETTY is to stand by someone LESS PRETTY. It was noted by a few people that I was watching the show with that Ru looked, dare I say, NATURALLY pretty. She's a wise woman, nobody picked up on this stunt BUT I DID! She hasn't got a show that runs in 30 countries for no reason ok?! I wondered if the contestants had to put dulling paste on their teeth like Mae West used to demand of her co stars, but then I realized with this crowd NO DULLING PASTE NEEDED! Not only is Ru savvy but she's all FRUGAL! That dulling paste budget can go straight to Ru's purse!
Now silly shade aside, I DO think this will be a great season, as always, but first we just have to whittle down the CRAP. Im actually GLAD they allow a couple more "common" queens on the show just to chop them because it lets the queens and the public know "this shit is tired, so please get a more savvy/sophisticated look, because a set of fake tits and a giant fake braid SUCKS SO HARD." Anyone remember that queen last year who got chopped for the EXACT SAME LOOK but she added a CRYSTAL SPIDER to the boob?..... UGH she sucked so hard she deserved to not only get the chop but to be RAVAGE by the other queens and STRIPPED of her clothes and BANISHED from Drag Queendom like that scene in the Dark Crystal when Lord Chamberlain loses the sword fight and for the first time in your childhood you get FREAKED THE FUCK OUT but learn that simply TRYING IT doesn't cut it and just because you want something doesn't mean YOU DESERVE IT!
This season we have a couple queens with a CRIMINAL RECORD, one girl has a missing (or seriously dark colored) toof, there isn't a pretty girl, but we do have a MIDGET. AKA were big on TALENT. I went to my usual RPDR party at my friends place and someone commented that it was more like Bad Girls Club then Rupauls Drag Race and I have to agree. Going by what we saw in the Interior Illusions Lounge this season will be SPIRITED and ENTERTAINING, if not necessarily "editorial". I mean when was the last time the pretty girl was actually entertaining, I think never. Though I could watch Carmen Carrera all day, or at least 14 minutes but in drag world thats ALL DAY. The first episode is always a bit of a snore because its more like a "meet and greet and please get the fuck out" then an actual episode where we know the queens, their roles, rivals, etc etc. That said Im gonna give you my thoughts on the queens so far:

Sharon Needles: The best one.

Jiggly Caliente: I don't share everyones love of the big girl.

Willam: Glenn Close vs Punch and Judy. She has a brain, and a chin.

Kenya: Why the fuck you name yourself KENYA?!.. Were the PYGMYS from Kenya?

Madame LaQueer: Everyone is over the "rican show" and someone please place a used car tire around her neck, usually Id suggest putting it around the waist but THE TIRES ON A 747 are hard to come by, full of gasoline and light it on fire for just having that WICKED SHITTY NAME.

Milan: Seems like a nice person and I hear she can do shows. Most people I know here in New York like her so Im not gonna throw shade.

Latrice Royal: The poor mans Dorian Corey. Shade aside I like her voice a lot and she seems genuine albeit a CONVICTED FELLON.

Dida Ritz & Lashaun Beyond & Alisa Summers: Who cares.... read a book... get a job.

The Princess: Anderson Cooper isn't looking so fierce.

Phi Phi Ohara: Not gonna win and has already decided to let her insecurities get the best of her and get her camera time by being the JEALOUS TWAT- fair enough, perhaps wise even. Jealous beauty is sorta the GOLD STANDARD for garnering gay attention, Alexis on Dynasty, Evil Lynn on He-Man, Madonna vs Elton John...
Her look was one of the better ones for the Rupocalypse as it was a direct lift of Dr. Dealgood from Beyond the Thunderdome.

Chad Michaels: She can't win because she's SURGICALLY ONE NOTE, but I dunno as much as everyone was hating on her at the party I was at I feel like she might be a nice person and I do like Cher. I respect that she's OLD SCHOOL and comes from that OLD TYME drag world of IMPERSONATION and I actually sorta love an impersonator because its WEIRD. I mean WE ALL have impersonated Cher at one point of our lives, so we all can relate on some level. So I don't wanna throw shade for someone doing something they love.

Did I forget someone? Well If so, make a better impression next time.

Love the show, can't wait for more!

I don't have much to say.


Im happily busy and I don't have much to say. I dunno why. I think because I am busy I am more tired. Im also not so angry right now so Im not so motivated to rant. This is what happens to people. They become more secure and no longer feel like bitching... don't worry It won't last long :)
HOLY SHIT... I forgot Rupauls Drag Race is on tomorrow!!! First episode! Ive already seen it, snatchturally, its good to meet the new competitors but as always with these shows when there is more people and you don't know the characters yet its a little slower and boring to watch 13 people do the same thing... BUT its still AWESOME and I CANNOT WAIT, I finally have a reason to turn on the tv.

I stumbled across some neat-o "street art" online....I can't believe I just said that.



The cold makes for interesting looks....

Its FREEZING and DAMP outside and normally it wouldn't be so bad if you lived in a place where you drove around in a car, but I live in Manhattan so I WALK everywhere I go. So, when its FREEZING and DAMP outside it extra sucks hard. SO, when I see a guy on the street wearing a ski mask, I get it, when I notice there is a beret on top of the ski mask I ALMOST GET IT MORE, but what I DONT GET is why if he is so cold that he has to wear a SKI MASK WITH A BERET ON TOP LIKE GRACE JONES IN VIEW TO A KILL is he also wearing SHORTS?! He was wearing a ski mask, a beret on top of the mask, and DENIM SHORTS!... wow. I actually ran home to blog this.

My friend, who happens to be my favorite DJ, Honey Redmond worked with Giorgio Moroder for the music for the new LV 2012-13 FW show




Honey is major and my favorite DJ, I can ALWAYS dance to what Honey plays OR Giorgio Moroder so this collaboration is just great. She's done the LV show a few seasons now. I love her work, this isn't even a PR thing mind you!! I stumbled across it and was JUST talking about Ru's fun little Moroder/Wildenstein mix and I was really feeling Giorgio at the moment.
Honey and I were talking about it at the gym and how she was excited to being heading to Paris to work with him and its so nice to see how it turned out. The clothes I couldn't really even look at though. I mean.. um.. not for me.. but the MUSIC was MAJOR! Honey MAY be moving to Berlin :( BUT I think its a wise move. Its a nice change, doesn't have to be forever, and I think Europe gets her better then American audiences... perhaps. Here you just get SO MUCH of that circuit top 40 stop that is just ROTTEN. We'd be losing a TALENT, but I get it, and it gives me a reason to visit Berlin again.

My Breakfast with RuPaul....and why grudges are like CHICKEN TACOS WITH HOT SAUCE.

So I was just lucky enough to enough a breakfast with Ru. Though I wouldn't exactly call it a "breakfast" for Ru as no FAST was technically BROKEN as she only nibbled on a piece of BURNT TOAST ( she ordered it that way) and had an espresso and a coffee. I was happy she lived up to her title of "Supermodel of the World" and ate nothing but CARBON. If he had ordered "The Lumberjack Special" I woulda wondered, not judged, but WONDERED???...
We met at Elephant and Castle in the village which is a bit of a cottage in the middle of Manhattan, like one expects Goldie Locks to walk in at any moment AND WOULDNT YOU KNOW SHE DID?! She was on time and as I sat there my table looked out the entrance window and I could see her come in. It was VERY Brothers Grim, she sorta had to bend over to get in and then sorta UNFOLDED as she got inside. She looked GREAT, face was tight, and the look was sorta like a GRASSHOPPER styled by QUENTIN CRISP. I got excited, I like these types of people. I can't remember if she had a FASHION CANE or my mind just filled in the styling blanks but it was VERY THAT. If you are around my age you may remember the Sesame Street piece about the boy remembering how to get home and he does it by remembering all the WHACKED-OUT PSYCHEDELIC stuff in his neighborhood but in reverse. Ru stepped RIGHT OUT of that cartoon. ... What the hell kinda parent lets her child out alone in a place like that?! Answer... MY KINDA PARENT!
So Ru sat down and we just started YACKIN' and Blabbing and KIKI-ing and it was like we were old friends, it genuinely was quite nice. The bitch TEARED UP twice?! and it just made me think "Oh she's HERE, she's FEELING THINGS, this is REAL." I was thankful for that. It wasn't a press conference. We were sharing stories about our childhood development, spiritualism, the foundations of fetishism, self loathing and the self love that comes after deciphering all that INSANITY and how if you didn't experience that rancid crap you wouldn't be the person you are today and how basically in the strange way were HAPPY about it as you couldn't just be told life lessons you have to FEEL them and thats EVERYTHING. Being PRESENT is one thing I have had to relearn to do and let me tell you once you can actually FEEL and UNDERSTAND being PRESENT is when you start living again. Im just now learning how to be present again. Ru and I really talked about some HEAVY SHIT. We talked for 2.5 hours! I can't even get into it all but some day, should we hang Id be happy to get into it over a drink or more preferably a SUNDAE.
As you know I am a FAN of the show. Did you know its shown in thirty countries but NOT England?! This neither Ru nor I can understand. She said they tried it there on a Friday night and it just wasn't well received. This is SO STRANGE to me as I feel like if anyone would appreciate the show the Brits would but NO. So sorry British people its not like the bitch didn't try?! I of course wore my RuPaul T shirt under my Jeremy Scott Rolls Royce LUREX SWEATER- Barf/AWESOME! I figured I should CLASS IT UP in FANCY COMPANY and nothing says IM RICH AND DESERVE TO BE HERE like a ROLLS ROYCE embroidered in SYNTHETIC YARN on your sweater! I then peeled it off cause i knew we both love a REVEAL and under the sweater was my RuPaul T-shirt. I thought it was funny that Ru hadn't seen the T-shirt yet and was dazzled just as I was that they printed her outfit in holographic glitter?! I had A LOT of questions for her both about the show and just random ones that I feel speak of a persons identity that are of interest to me, so LETS GET TO THEM:
1. Favorite color, animal, and villain? ( I mean if you fail this question why bother with the rest. Thats why I ask it first):
Orange, I could bathe in orange. Giraffe (makes total sense as its one of mine too but I think thats cause if WE were animals wed be giraffes) , and MAY DAY... (I mean I woulda bought her an ice cream cone just for that answer alone)
2.Have you ever experienced the supernatural?: YES, I was visited by a ghost in the Chateau Marmont! I woke up to find it had placed all the things in my room around me sort of pinning me in my bed, but it wasn't a negative force more like a childish playful one.
3. What did you want to be when you were a kid?: FAMOUS. (she answered this very quickly)
4. Do you hold grudges?: I HAVE HELD grudges but on a daily basis work to release those grudges. My mother died from holding a grudge. Grudges are like CHICKEN TACOS WITH HOT SAUCE. I think of chicken tacos and I salivate. My body has a physical reaction to that thought. A grudge is the same thing, it causes a physical reaction to happen inside as well, like CANCER. (We related on this as my mother also died from cancer from holding onto negative energy as well)
5. Is it possible for a white queen to win RuPauls Drag Race?: No. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!)
6. What has been the response to the show in other countries?: Its very successful. Its showing in 30 plus countries and really BLEW UP in South America.
7. Why aren't there contestants from other countries as there is so much great talent out there?! I would really love to have people from other nations but the working papers are very difficult to get through for the show etc etc.
8. Why isn't season one on DVD?: Music licensing issues that we didn't have on the other seasons. Its the same reason why the Rupaul show from VH1 isn't available.
9. If an assassination attempt was successfully made on your life, who would you want to host the show?: I think the three previous winners working together would do a great job.
10. Can your body still support a pregnancy?: Yes, Im in my first trimester.
11. When is Grace coming on the show?: You know we've asked her every season but scheduling is very difficult. We shoot in July and its rare that people are in LA in July and its very hard to get someone to work for a day to only be on camera for no more then five seconds. (The day Grace is on that show is the day I figure out how to turn my refrigerator into a PORTAL and magically pop out of the clothing rack in the Interior Illusions Lounge.)
12. Who is your dream guest?: CHER, she is the ULTIMATE DRAG AUTHORITY.
13. You twitter your "cardio jam of the day", what is the cardio jam of your LIFE? The one song you LOVE to workout to every time it comes on?: "Shine", by Luther Vandross the Freemasons Mix, "You won't forget me" by La Bouche, and "Tell it to my heart" the Tony de Vit mix.
14. Are there any of the contestants that you thought got the HI-YAH to soon? They ALL get the chop to soon. We really look very hard to find total packages, show girls, and we really hate to see them go as they're very talented. Any girl can put on a wig and heels. We really are looking for people who can do commercials, perform on stage, photo shoots etc. We pick girls who can do it all so we really hate to see them go as they're all very talented.
15. Jocelyn Wildenstein, Princess Stefanie or Morgan Fairchild? Well I think the answer is OBVIOUS NO?! (No, who is it?) JOCELYN! We also asked her every season but she's never in LA in July :(

What do I have to do to get JOSSY on RUPAULS DRAG RACE?! Id be SO HAPPY! Ru emailed me a song she made of all these news sound bytes of people talking about Jocelyn. Its MAJOR and set to a Giorgio Moroder track. If you want it email me and I can forward it to you. It needs to be about 45 minutes LONGER though as Im barely stripped down to my thong back leotard before it stops?!




Thank you RU for such a great time, and being so generous with your time, and open with your identity! For those of you that don't have BURNT TOAST to LURE Ru to your home you can catch her on the new season of Rupauls Drag Race starting Monday January 30 at 9 on LOGO. You can also head to LOGOS WEBSITE to watch past episodes and get previews of the contestants of the new season!

Im trying to describe the difference between SKANK, BIMBO, SLUT, to my French friend and in turn hes trying to describe "POUFFIASSE"


Skank: is the worst of the group as it means poor, and slut without charm.



Slut: Close to skank but not necessarily charm less or poor but usually is and definitely qualified by his/her use/need of sex as a personality defining element.



Pouffiasse: This is hard for me as Im not French BUT talking with my friend he told me Mariah is a good example. A slut plus a dash of bimbo but not necessarily attractive, but a girl who TRIES TO BE. Very particular but accurate.



Bimbo: Certainly the most "positive of the bunch. Not necessarily negative even, just very sexual but not necessarily trying, more like EMBRACING elements that the person just happens to be. Often a "dumb" element but not necessarily true either the "dumb" could just be construed from the comfortability of the "sex power".



Its more difficult to define these then you think as its all little things that make the difference and often the types overlap and are really down to the judgement of the ACCUSER, but in my eyes these are the differences. I like to be a bimbo when I get the chance. Skank is not known in Europe and certainly more East Coast then anything. I say it a lot. I also use SKAG which I made up, I think, and its the worst of them all its somewhere between Skank and SCAB.
