Since Alaska Thunderfuck has been all over the place lately and cranking out pretty good music for a queen, you would think she won her season of Drag Race!!!! I just caught her newest single and
regarding this newest release, titled -- naturally -- "Nails," Alaska says the moral of the song is: If you're not wearing nails, you're not doing drag. Which makes sense. Known in part for her long, ornate, almost claw-like nails, this fabulous queen wrote the song a while back. Definitely a portrait of a certain time in her life, she calls "Nails" "a message for young, starting-out queens to not neglect the detail of their hands when getting themselves in drag. "Drag is about the face," says Thunderfuck of this cautionary tale (so be sure your makeup is not terrible), "but the secondary thing is about the hands." And at the end she looks more amazing then I ever did see, and yet again, not a bad dance ditty!!!
The song is out of my comfort zone, but can appreciate it. It does appear to be stuck in my head now. That is one good thing about Drag Race. I feel everybody on there comes off a winner. Most are finding notoriety in some way other. Pretty creative video I might add.
ReplyDeleteWorry not about Alaska......when are you coming to sing a song!!!!!!
DeleteMy sister always calls long nails like that "cock handling nails" because that's the only thing women can do for a living with such nails because they incapacitate you from any other kind of work. Not that there's anything wrong with that, lol.
ReplyDeleteI WOULDN'T know anything about what you speak of.
DeleteDarling Maddie,
ReplyDeleteWell, we do not know about you, but we find the talon like nails positively frightening. We can only imagine the expense of maintaining such finger extensions and have no idea how Alaska Thunderfuck peels potatoes.....or, indeed, manages anything else apart from singing.
That said, AT can belt out a tune.....rather reminds us of Rufus Wainwright.
Jane and Lance, I think she might actually use those things to peel the potatoes, and she's been know to toss the salad with them as well!!!
DeleteShe's like a Virginia Slim....she's come a long way baby!
ReplyDeleteShe has!!!! Little baby girl is all gown up!
DeleteNailed it.
ReplyDeleteLove the tune; love the idea of changing my last name to Thunderfuck, though, how I would introduce myself to the Smallville church ladies might be problematic!
I say go for it. I find that those easily shocked, should be shocked more often!
DeleteWow, that is actually pretty good!!! I am didn't recognize her!
