There's certain Queens that just have a raw, natural talent. And can truly coin the corner on a niche market. This season, Suzie Toot was one of those queens that was on RuPaul's Drag Race. From my original recap I always had her pegged for the 4th or 5th Place, as her style and talent is very niche...but there was no doubt she had talent. Her vintage Golden age style was off the hook, yet she did give us that rare glimpse when she would break brand and do something different and even then ...she nailed it. Portraying Ru's babysitter was fucking hilarious and that sky-high hair was stunning. I recently had the privilege of seeing her perform here and I'm here to tell you she brought the house down. I was actually very surprised at how big the crowd was and just how many loved that vintage flare. Audiences are thirsty for something different other then just a lip synching queen. I was also godsmack by her natural singing voice. Oh yes in this show I saw, she was not lip syncing. I dare say I see her going on to being another Ginger Minj or Jinx Monsoon with natural Broadway style and vocal talent. Out of all the queens this season , I found her to be the most creative and artistic and cerebral with concepts and I'm here for that . And while all the Queens on RuPaul's Drag Race our friends and got along for the most part, I do think they were a little hard on Suzie Toots wins,style and talent. But Suzie is tough as nails, and she is definitely sure of herself and could definitely be overbearing and overconfident, but I'm here to tell you if you don't have those qualities and can't roll with the punches you're going to find a very short lived life on the drag scene. And from the recent show I saw here, she had a huge following already. Her fans and followers are referring themselves as Tooters!!!! Even though RuPaul did not let her go on to the Final Four, it wasn't surprising... As RuPaul very seldom ever crowns a niche performer. The only one that comes to mind really is Sharon Needles. But with Suzie's style, her incredible performance talent, and her great attitude I think her little "niche" is going to take her very far. The picture I shared from the show is the one where she has the black and silver gown on with Sky High red hair. She wore that on the show and I told her I think I need it.
