Dragtestants-Have Your Claws Ready



Logo's new reality series will be the ultimate in drag queen competitions. The Mistress has been waiting a while to see all the entertainment from this show. And I'm not a big reality show watcher. The premises for the show is nine divias from the US will vie for drag stardom, as RuPaul in full glamazon drag will reign supreme in all judging and eliminations, while Mr.RuPaul will guide the dragtestants as they prepare for each challenge. Dragtestants must remember to embody the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent that made RuPaul a international drag superstar. In the end the judges bring the bottom two back to compete in a show stopping battle, and then determine if they will"shante" and stay or "shante" and go away. The Mistress looked at the Logo web site and my three favorites are Victoria Parker and Shannel. I have seen both and know they are very talented and beautiful queens, but I also like Nina Flowers who seems to have a heart of gold. Those are my three contenders as of now.
The first episode will be Drag on a Dime. The dragtestants will have to re-invent their glam looks using thrif store clothing and tschotches from the 99 cent store. Bob Mackie will help weed out the queen with RuPaul, who has the least style. Here are the divas-

Bebe Zahara Benet


Bebe Zahara Benet ia a native of the Africian Republic of Camerron, Bebe's exotic dignity and sophistication set her apart from the other dragtestants.

Jade

Jade is from Chicago IL who is a professional dancer who has it all- beauty,talent, abs of steel and a great attitude. I'm thinking Miss Congenitilty here.

Akashia


Akashia is a queen who has no problem throwing shade as long as it gets her closer to the finish line. I see some drama from this one.

Nina Flowers


Nina Flowers is originally from Puerto Rico and is known for her intricate make-up and flawless runway presentations. A plus for Nina is she has a mix of styles from punk, gothic and couture. I think she stands a very good chance of winning.

Rebecca Glasscock


Rebecca Glasscock is the innocent ingenue of RuPaul's race. Under the make-up is a competitive queen.

Shannel


Shannel who is from Vegas is FIERCE! Shannel brings skimpy costumes, a killer body, dazzling wardrobe,sickening make-up skills and truck loads of confidence to the race. She is another of the Mistress's favorites.

Victoria"Porkchop" Parker


Victoria"Porkchop"Parker is a charmer from the south and has twenty one years experience to bring to the race. The Mistress has seen her before and she is a favorite contender of mine. She will quickly become the "mother hen" to a few of the girls.

Ongina


Ongina is from LA and dosen't wear wigs, padding,or tucking, but is still one of the most versatile and focused dragtestants.

Tammie Brown


Tammie is a unique performer with her own wacky style. She brings her touch of "old Hollywood" to the race.

So, there you have it in a neat little MAC compact! You will you be routing for?

  1. My faves are Shannell and Pork Chop. Chanel is clearly a talented illuisionist, and Pork Chops looks like the kinds girl you would go out for drinks with after the show! We gotta get that dark lipliner offa her, though!
    I predict Orangina will be the first to go! Drag without wigs and padding just ain't proper! That's not drag, that's a tranny mess if you ask me!

  6. Beth I'm sure we will keep you abreast of all the fun. And I have seen Jade as a boy- not bad! I believe if you go to Logo.com they will have the epsoides to watch on line-I think!

    Chef- I do agree with you! Nina could be some stiff competition!

    American Girls,
    You are sooo lucky to be able to see this show. Your international sisters are having to fight LOGO to try to gain access. They promote the show in Europe and then block us due to "copyright", i.o.w. "money".

    If you'd like to support your international sisters, please stop by at freethedragrace.blogspot.com .
