I have yet to make it to Taffy Pulls's Watch Drag Race show at Styxx. Hopefully, soon. But, anyway.
So, the first episode bugged me, because I would rather know all my queens all at once, so I can pick and choose who I like, and who I don't. Because I'm judgmental like that, and I prefer all my eggs in one basket, so to speak. That being said, it made it harder for me to pick, because I have people from each group that I want to see do well. And, if I don't narrow the two groups down, to, say, a Final Four, RuPaul will do it for me.
I've been debating how to proceed from here with the Drag Race stuff. Part of me wants to keep people updated on how my ladyboys are doing, but I don't necessarily want to go into a fully in-depth breakdown of each episode. Other bloggers who've been doing it from the beginning have that market. So, I'll just see from here, how it goes. It might be a breakdown, it might just be a skimming of the girls I liked this episode.
So, the second set of girls:
Bianca Del Rio: This one has had me hooked since the previews started for the show. I'm not sure if it's the makeup or what, but she is one of my top girls. And, became even more so, once I actually got to hear her. I love that she's an insult comic. I hope that she goes right up to the end. But, I refuse to speculate, because when I picked my top group last year, I got only one right.
Trinity K Bonet: From what I hear, she's beautiful. I'm not really digging her. I didn't get the wire around her head in her walk-in outfit. Although, her Queen Amidala realness was good. A little too geisha for my liking, but whatever. Having seen the episode a few times, it's growing on me.
Joslyn Fox: She's from Massachusetts, so she's a hometown(ish) girl. She dresses like Shaunna Rai does. She's goofy and cute, and she's coming to Ogunquit in May. And I'm going to be there too! I'm going to be a little bit fangirl-ish the week of the Southern Maine AIDS Walk/Run, because I get that way with new queens that I don't know...especially if they've been on TV. Like Joslyn herself was, when Courtney Act walked in. She's one of my people to watch.
Milk: Milk scares me a little bit. She's so tall, and thin, and, the gap in her teeth makes me fear that if she were to take a deep breath, I would get sucked through the tooth gap...even though, I know that it's a drawn on gap. It's not real. It still scares me though.
Magnolia Crawford: Oh, Magnolia...Attitude is everything. But, a bad attitude, well, it doesn't get you anywhere. I liked her interview as a boy, during her walk-in, when she was like "The sexiest...I'm not sexy." It was funny. And, it gave me hope for her. Unfortunately, because she just wanted to use Drag Race to get her name out there, and didn't care that she was going to be deemed a bitchy queen, we didn't get to really see the fun/funny side of her.
Courtney Act: "Is this America's Next Top Model?" If I didn't know better, I would have believed that she was actually a woman. A lot of drag queens, you can tell that they're actually male. Not this one. She's beautiful. And, when you put both of her personas next to each other, they come off as brother and sister, NOT the same person in drag. That takes talent.
Darienne Lake: She actually liked a fan art drawing that I did of her. (Because I wanted to, and her hair is awesomely huge.) And, she's following me on Twitter. So, obviously, I want her to do well. And, Mike Ruiz long distance motorboated her. Was I crazy about her runway outfit? Not really. But, her personality was great. And her lip sync was dead on.
I loved the pillow fight photo shoot, for all of them, except Magnolia. It was like she didn't even WANT to be a part of the shoot. I have to say, with the Pit Crew in nothing but Scruff undies, I would be all over doing whatever Mike Ruiz told me to do...wait, what? Was I daydreaming? Crap...
The Mystery Box outfit challenge: I love it when they show that either the contestants know exactly what they're going to do, or when they have no idea what they're going to do. What I hate, is when they take a box personally. You can get a horrible box, and make something awesome out of it. You can get a great box and make something horrible out of it. It all depends on your talent and creativity. But, when the box itself becomes a zone of contention, between not only the queen and the box, but, Ru too, you might as well give up and leave the workroom, and save Ru from eliminating anyone... Just sayin'.
