In Three Words...

THE QUEENS

I never thought we'd be here 17 seasons later with RuPaul's Drag Race. Yet again, I wasn't sure if I'd watch this season, but then when Sixpence visited, I had told him I had the feeling a friend might have gotten on the show, but he'd been mum about it. Well, sure as shit he finally told me he did indeed film the season!! So I will have to watch and support Crystal Envy, I mean what kind of person would I be to not watch? This season promises to be one of the splashiest seasons yet, and many of the queens are budding queens, so I like the idea of the stage being a more even playing field for queens to battle it out without well-known seasoned queens, yet the cast is still a bit too fishy for me, although there is a few campy queens. The stage is set for tomorrow night on MTV, with 14 queens in age from 22 to 34 and all have vastly different levels of style and experience in high heels. Here is the cast... and from what I know of them, I have them in an order I think their stay duration will be. I have the feeling yet again, there may be a clear top four.

Lucky Starzzz-Miami Florida

Joella- Los Angles CA

Hormona Lisa- Chattanooga Tenn.

Acacia Forgot-Los Angeles 

Crystal Envy- Asbury Park NJ

Kori King- Boston Mass

Judia B Kollins-Pittsburg, PA

Arrietty-Seattle, Wash.

Lana Ja Rae- Nyc

Suzie Toot- Fort Lauderdale, FL

Top 4....

Lexi Love-Louisville KT

Onya Nurve- Cleveland Ohio

Sam Star-Leeds ALA

Jewels Sparkles-Tampa FL

A nice mix of queens, and also what is nice to see, is the mix of cities the queens are from. I'm fairly confident in my top four. Trinity Taylor has two of the top four in her house, if they make it.  All four are fierce as hell, and Sam and Crystal will be the hot boys out of drag. People may think a friend may place Crystal higher and while I wish her well, knowing the judges, they are going to want more then I think Crystal will deliver. Glam and fish is nice, but lately the winners have been extremely versatile in their ranges. But stranger things have happened...So bring the crown Crystal!!!!!

Now Meet the Queens...

 Jewels's wig and headpiece in the Meet the Queens....OFF THE HOOK and jaw drop stun-NING!  I also found I adored Suzie Toot.

What's your thought squirrel friends???

NEW YEARS DAY=MUMMERS!

Hope everyone one is having a great New Years Day!!!! 

The dead arose here sometime around 12:30pm and got right into the swing of things. Of course, a regular visitor will tell you that a New Years Day is not complete without the day long, and into night, spectacle of the Mummers Parade!! Over 10.000 participants, and over 40 divisions, fancifully dressed in baubles, bangles, beads, sequins and plumes and feathers of all types, marched and played instruments through center city for the 124th Mummers Parade. The term Mummer comes from Germany and means, "to costume, pantomime or masquerade. The parade made up of mostly blue collar, straight males, along with some women and children, some of which are third generations in the parade, bring the sparkle to the nines, to rival any drag or Broadway show. The parade made up of comic, wench, fancy, fancies and string band divisions turned it out this year, and all bought distinctively Philly performances on the day which dawned fairly mild but then gave way to some gales. The parade itself has roots in Northen European, British and Africa American traditions. More than a century of Philadelphia New Year's Day tradition is steeped in sequins, theatrical performances and copious amount of spirits!!!! Our particular favorite string band performances this year were that of Duffy, Aqua, Avalon and Fralinger and Polish American String Bands.

And of course, the two other traditions....

A Good and Happy New Year!
