Many fans expressed dismay when Willam Belli was unceremoniously dismissed from "RuPaul's Drag Race" after it was announced that the contestant had broken the rules...
I have a hard time understanding why the idea of estrogen use would be threatening to being a gay man, when in fact, personal identity is a delicate balance of choice, personal representation, and lived experiences.
To grant this level of exposure to the politics of drag is astounding. But the racial implications of these performances and the manner in which the production crew chooses to depict these contestants is a delicate space that could maybe benefit from a little tune-up.
Sharon Needles is definitely our first Marilyn Manson-inspired contestant ... With a quivering, black painted lip and a witch's hat, she enters the work room and claims she's three things: beautiful, spooky and stupid.
Bebe Zahara Benet made a bit of history when she became the first winner of RuPaul's Drag Race. She brings her own brand of international flare to RuPaul's Drag U as she helps women connect with their "inner Queendom."
She may not have snatched the crown, but Raven's deliciously wicked demeanor and fabulous transformations won her a worldwide following during the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race.
If I were to write a story book about Shangela I might title it "The Little Drag Queen That Could". After being the first gal eliminated on Drag Race Season 2, she returned this season.
Last week, Carmen Carrera became the latest contestant to be eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race. This week I chatted with Carmen about her performance on the show and her drag beginnings.
