Hosted by the lovely Rebecca Romijn with judges RuPaul Charles, Craig Tracy, and Robin Slonina, the challenges are crazy, the designs immaculate, and the best part? It's mostly free of contestant drama- but judges trying to instigate drama? That's a different story. A look at the first season of Skin Wars, with Rebecca Romijn and RuPaul[...]

In case you have been a little busy keeping up with all the SDCC@Home news and forgot that the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 5 was this past Friday night, this is your reminder before you get spoiled on the winner of the season Spoiler: Bob completes the rainbow and it's everything It's[...]

Bob The Drag Queen is back with her drag sister Monet X Change to "kiki" about this week's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars To quote Bob, "I'm helmed." This episode was fine, but it was a stand-up challenge and we all knew that Blair St Clair wasn't long for this competition going into[...]

This brings us squarely into the current era: as I like to call it, the "drag revolution is televised" era. A scene from Pose, television's modern look at ballroom culture (Image: FX Networks). Category is: Current Television RuPaul started a little show called Drag Race in 2009, and it proved that people would and did care about drag[...]

The first look required the queens to walk the backyard – er, runway – as a member of RuPaul's family, complete with character backstory via recorded monologue that played as they walked the runway The next look was a very Project Runway found-fashion challenge: they had to create an outdoor eleganza look using the BBQ[...]

Okay, if you keep current with RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars and you're familiar with my coverage of this season, you know that I am absolutely shook at who went home this week If you don't know who that is – you should probably be warned that there are major spoilers for episode 6 of[...]

Okay, I know it was a month ago, but I have been rationing my pre-quarantine content in an attempt to not run out of exciting things to watch, so I'm just now getting to RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 finale Before we get into it, if you haven't seen this season, you can read my[...]

Personal opinion disclaimer: a certain contestant (who is nowhere near as sweet as cherry pie) on the 12th season of RuPaul's Drag Race is a skeevy predator and was disqualified immediately after her actions came to light This queen is a disappointment and seriously lets down the title of "camp queen", which is a real[...]

Bob was right there with me in being stressed because this round of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars competition just got cutthroat Did we also mention that India Ferrah is a dirty liar playing a ridiculous game and if Alexis Mateo doesn't win this season I will riot But I'm getting ahead of myself Bob[...]

In this first part of my look at ballroom culture and its portrayal on TV, some historical context, Madonna, Paris is Burning, and more.

But, we're back (against my family's begging – they even staged an intervention!) with our next look at RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, and this is one of my favorite seasons, so I absolutely cannot wait to dive in. Now, this is the first season to be formatted as we know it, with the eliminations falling[...]

I know it's been a hot minute, but honey, we are back and watching RuPaul's Drag Race! Now, we did skip a few seasons, but honestly, seasons 7 – 10 are a little hard to come by as they're not on a streaming service But regardless, we're back covering all the drama, sequins, sass, and[...]

As a two-for-one, I would absolutely take RuPaul's Drag Race as well as sister series All Stars Why?

RuPaul's Drag Race is such a hit, it's now inspired a version specifically for Canadian queens (no, not The Queen) The dozen drag queens will hit CraveTV July 2 in a quintessentially Canadian competition show in Canada's Drag Race Brooke Lynn Hytes (Drag Race season 11 runner-up) will judge the competition series alongside actor Jeffrey[...]

Bad news to fans of the RuPaul-scripted drama/sitcom: Netflix has officially cancelled AJ & The Queen – which means no more adventures of Ruby Red (RuPaul) and her pint-size companion AJ (Izzy G) The show's first and only season struggled tonally and failed to capture any demographic You would think that a RuPaul show would[...]

So, if you're a fan of VH-1's RuPaul's Drag Race, you know that the show is no stranger to rap queen and real life barbie doll Nicki Minaj – but for the first time in the show's history, the rap goddess herself will appear – live and in the flesh! The award-winning rapper will guest[...]

Okay, I know it's probably not a surprise that a scripted RuPaul show is cheesy beyond belief, especially when it involves a kid, but I didn't expect AJ and The Queen to be quite this over-the-top In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, RuPaul developed a new show for Netflix that can[...]
