RuPaul's Drag Race: Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent

TOP 5 QUEENS, THIS IS TOO STRESSFUL!!

As I only started watching any RuPaul's Drag Race in January, I haven't had the eliminations happen as everyone else sees them before, I haven't had to wait weeks between shows and while I've gone through heartbreak when people left, it hasn't been along with a nation.

This week my heart broke hard.

The mini-challenge this week was to drag up a puppet of the other queens and do a read. Faaaaaabulous:

Pearl pokes Kennedy

Kennedy finally gets inside Pearl

Violet gets one up Katya

Katya puts her hand up Ginger's Minj

Ginger fists Violet

Ginger won the mini-challenge and got to go early to the supplies, which is hillarious because it didn't matter if she got there first or had an extra day, Ginger hates sewing.

In the work room, there were 2 special guests - one was Santino and frankly he can go eat a dick, but the other was...

HELLO MOTHERFUCKING KITTY

And the queens were told that they had to create a Hello Kitty BFF outfit alongside some Eleganza Couture for the runway.

Fucking bobblehead MFs.

Runway time and Ru Sashayed on in an orange floor-length gown and a geometric wig:

Very 80s feeling

Michelle Visage worked it in a Kitty fascinator and a Manila Luzon hairpiece! I live for the blonde

Hello Kitty stomped the runway in some bloomers and bows

and then the Queens came out in their BFF Realness:

Violet

Ginger

Pearl

Katya

Kennedy

And onto the runway looks:

Katya

Violet

Ginger

Pearl

Kennedy

Unfortunatly Katya lost the lip sinc, in possibly the worst decision of Drag Race Herstory. Seriously, the Facebook sites are a flame with people shooting the decision down. Kennedy is on that stage 8 weeks longer than she should have been.

I am just grateful that I properly love Hello Kitty and therefore this manicure was easier than it could have been. Unfortunately I decided to try using Foil for the first time and it was AWESOME. Until I used topcoat. DAMN THAT TOPCOAT.

We'll miss you Katya!

RuPaul's Drag Race: Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

The final 6? This shit is getting bananas! You really are starting to have to nitpick with everyone to find something that's not right.

This week's Mini-challenge was to take a roll of clear tape and give themselves surgery for the Fake Housewives of RuPaul's Drag Race!

Pearl

Kennedy

Violet

Ginger

Trixie

Katya

Violet won the mini-challenge, and therefore was able to choose who she worked with for a dancing/sewing challenge! She chose Katya (who wouldn't, really) and off they went into the work room!

They had some practise with Carson Kressley and surprise surprise, they were all terrible!

Ru, however looked STUNN-NING in her tearaway spangly nude number!

The runway looks were a half-and-half, with the male side being done with an all-in-one lycra number and then the drag being sewn onto the side. It was a creative idea but was SO DAMN HARD to take screenshots of. So deal.

Pearl. Jesus, I can't contain my lust for him any more. Boy Pearl is FIT.

Kennedy Blahvenport.

Trixie Mattel

Ginger Minj

Violet Chachki

Katya

To go with the mash-up clothing, the Queens had to dance to some TERRIBLE mash-up music.

Kennedy and Pearl doing the Charleston and the Twerk Kennedy admitted later on that she had a major wide-on for Pearl. Join the line!

Trixie and Ginger doing Country and The Robot. Lacklustre and nervous, you can't half-ass The Robot.

Katya and Violet doing the Tango and Vogueing. The Chemistry was incredible.

Unfortunately for Trixie, they were judged in pairs, and due to Ginger's terribleness they were in the bottom two with Trixie not really managing to even remember the words to Robyn S's Show Me Love.

So here's my second set of Trixie nails. With tiny little cowgirls and a straw hat. I really didn't want to even do this, but here it is and roll on next week.

RuPaul's Drag Race: The Library Is Open

Apologies for this post being late - I had a bunch of friends over and I didn't get a spare minute to myself, let alone time to make them watch RPDR again and take screenshots. I'll play catch-up!

Yayyyyyy, my third favourite thing after the entrances and Snatch Game - The Library is OPEN!!

Look how happy they all are about it, too!

I won't go into finer detail or provide screenshots, because they just look like their boyselves with a pair of sunglasses on.

Fine, here:

Pearl, attempting and being thwarted from reading Mama Ru

The main challenge was to perform Musical versions of John Waters' most iconic films

Kennedy and Katya performed Cha-Cha Heels, a parody of a scene in Female Trouble:

Kennedy did ok in this. She's not bad, not good, just OK

Katya

Kennedy

Trixie and Ginger did Eggs from Pink Flamingos:

Ginger Minj

Trixie Mattel

and Pearl, Violet and Miss Fame 'sang' Poo, taken from Pink Flamingos: 

Pearl

Miss Fame

Violet

Ru absolutely killed it in a neon disco trashy dress with herself and a panther on the front:

This is NOT Bad Drag, Ru!

 And The Queens were asked to do Bad Drag on the runway:

Kennedy Davenport, channeling Old Ladies and the smell of wee

Katya, making Raggedy Ann look like a Barbie

Ginger Minj, Actually not even looking that bad!

Trixie, I would wear that dress myself. No lies.

Pearl, makin' eyes at me!

Violet, wearing her Chachki on the outside

Miss Fame, full of hot air

And so, Miss Fame and her Über-visible tape sashayed away to the sound of a lip-sync against Pearl. My tribute had to also include the tape, because it's been bugging me like all fuck all season.

Just loads of Revlon, I don't even remember any more.
