Remember how last season everyone was BITCHING about how they hated the show? It was this never ending chatter about how there were no talents, which was inaccurate, and how they didn't like anyone which I think people confused with the queens abilities. The casting did a REALLY smart thing this year and dropped annoying people who only give good sound bytes and instead actually cast likable people you'd actually want to hang out with. It could just be smart casting but it almost gives you hope that younger people aren't all tedious vapid twits and they MIGHT be listening.

Well Britney/ Derek is actually a twit. I don't know how you could talk to him more than thirty seconds. What could that robot possibly have to say when its clearly never questioned anything? He's clearly never questioned anything because he doesn't have a soul, so there is nothing to question because he's never encountered a situation that would motivate introspection because how could he without a personality? Its only until you have a sense of self that you start asking questions because only then do things become contrary to your thoughts. He's like a BLENDER just sitting on your shelf waiting to be used. Isn't it interesting that the soulless person puts all his effort into simulating a famously soulless person?! This whole "being a correct little girl" fetish is just LAME. Its not even a powerful woman?! I can't fathom why you would want to look like a COCKER SPANIEL, turned into a GIRL IN BEIGE PANTS FROM OLD NAVY, who works at the SPRINT KIOSK at the mall?? His interest in her being she has zero personality is almost kinda cute, but its not because its a CHARACTER FLAW. Its like ROBOT ON ROBOT LOVE?! So sad, robots can't make a baby and they don't know it:(

I have to say we all owe an apology to Chi-Chi. In her "Meet the Queens" interview I was like EWWW and also TIRED. She came off like a cliche of the girl that is only cast because she represents "THAT SCENE" which is a large scene in the drag world, but "THAT SCENE" is never going to win because they're non creative and not smart. Kinda like the token fat girl who they also didn't cast this season. Yes Kimchi is BIG but she's not fat. That Ginger Minj thing was so rotten. Who invited her anyways?! She had all the charm of a Walmart greeters "How y'all doin?" and not the charming old man or retarded person that they use to make you feel sorry so you shop more to feel better. Chi-Chi is a fantastic example of how you either HAVE IT or YOU DONT. Chi-chi has nothing, but she has IT. She is fantastic in my mind. She was COMPLETELY CORRECT in her take on the New Wave challenge and Im sure she has MAYBE MOST LIKELY NEVER heard a or seen a New Wave song?! Costumes in the form of abstract shapes would have been transgressive, and funny, totally on par with the genre, and a great reveal and Britney and Puerto Rican lady are just too concerned with being the "pretty" girl their mom never had that they couldn't take the risk of being interesting. Chi-chi painted on Grace Jones face which is total New Wave so she knows whats what. I didn't think her costume was bad either. I mean it is exactly what you want, neon pink and black zebra, thigh high boots, with a riding crop and Gestapo hat. Was it cheap looking? YES, were the eighties cheap???… ALSO YES! Can we talk about how according to TODAY the eighties were ONLY NEON. In case you weren't there this is NOT TRUE. The eighties were GREY, nothing was NOT GREY. HOPE was GREY! Watch Baby Boom, or Working Girl and when you see it now you think its a JOKE. There is NO NEON TO BE SEEN. You think the sets are some kind of humorous art direction but it was REALITY. Neon was SORTA invented in the eighties and its why neon seems so much part of it because against they grey world we lived in that SMALL DASH of neon splatter paint effect was SHOCKING. However there is WAAAAY more neon around today than then. In fact in the New Wave Era neon was pretty much non existent. When I think New Wave I think glossy black, matte grey (in many applications) and gloss red. Flock of Seagulls, Devo, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk all of them are red and black.






For my final three its definitely Naomi, Chi-Chi, and Thorgy. To be honest Thorgy is cool and I like her but I dunno if I have to give her a trophy. She's COOL, I like her a lot but also like WHY SHOULD I GIVE HER A TROPHY? I have plenty of fierce friends that do drag but they don't deserve a trophy, they're cool people and thats enough. They don't really NEED a trophy. Trophies are kinda for young queens, SHINY NEW OBJECTS. Thorgy, like Alaska, kinda seems maybe not BEYOND THAT but like NOT NEEDING THAT. Like it sorta doesn't go with her values. Detox should get the All Stars 2 trophy because a shiny trophy goes with a Mugler suit ya know what I mean???. I think for a trophy you need to be stunning. Naomi honestly could take it for me just based on the fact that she looks like she's made out of BASEBALL BATS.

OH I forgot, did you see Untucked? Before I say more CHANGE THE DREARY MUSIC it ruins the entire mood of the show?! Beyond that was anyone else CREEPED OUT by Kimchi? Her behavior with Debbie Harry was INAPPROPRIATE?! Don't treat a 60 something ICON like some TART. Don't belittle her by saying you like her BOOBIES and say how she can sit on your face?!? Are you INSANE?! It makes sense I guess if she's a virgin though and she is around someone famous because like any insecure person she thinks in order to be cool you have to be someone you ARENT (BIG MISTAKE) and therefor acts "sexual" because thats "cool." I was TURNED OFF, this cabbage has gone SOUR.

Well said! Derrick Barry needs to GO!
ALWAYS THE BEST!!!! I'm dying in this jacuzzi tub!
Derrick seems to be a favorite of Rupaul's and it makes me nauseous.
I'm so, so, so, pleased your back. I LOVE your commentary on EVERYTHING, your voice is so pure and honest, and you give so much spice to my life!!! you're a frickin legend, and you inspire me to follow my true path...a disco muscle pig with a penchant for neon!!! Killah! much love from Australia! xxxxxxx
Spot on about the '80's! Everything was grey. Grey and black. Also, grey and mauve --remember that? I actually dumped a boyfriend when he picked out mauve carpeting for his new condo.
The first time I saw neon was about 1983, a woman walking down the street in a an all-black ensemble, with neon orange ankle socks paired with black pointy toed pumps. It was really shocking and fresh at the time. The neon was worn as an accent, not a head to toe look.
I also wanted to smack Kim Chi upside the head! I liked her up til that point on Untucked.
Your spot on perfect reviews are worth the wait. Since the Universe has delightfully been listening to me and I've had my last 2 elimination requests fulfilled - Derrick Non-Spears Barry may be cleansed of the work room this week. Fingers crossed.
Remember Neon colored Zinc creams for the Athlete Cheek Sun Block Look, which is still used by pros in basic black.
Flashback to the 80's : Neon Oxide sunblock and neon lanyard sunglass holders around the neck: with the neon athletic shorts that actually were mid thigh. That was me in P-townd, and I was definiite New Wave and Alternative. Joy Division is my Favorite band in the world ... RIP Ian Curtis
