IM BEGGING, DON'T TAKE MY MAN

How's about a funny Sunday ditty!!! Dolly Parton's legendary "Jolene" covered by some of our favorite queens, serving iconic Dolly lerwks, among them Ginger Minij, Manila Luzon, Alaska, Bebe Zahara Ben dela Crème and Katya. And as the Mistress would sing..... "Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.. I'm begging of you.... please don't take my men."

And did Bebe not get the memo it was a Dolly Parton song and homage?  I'm sorry my dear, but your up for elimination. 

SO ...YOU WANNA BE A DRAG QUEEN?

I can remember the first time I did drag. Talk about scared, But I always had big balls and went out and did it!!!

 

 I had the best time, and then ended up doing drag for shows, but mostly became the Social "It" queen at the clubs, and parties to keep the crowd happy and entertained or the lure. The Amanda Lepore if you will, and continued for the next 10 years!!!! What captured me was the transformation, and still does amaze me. I was also enthralled by the crowd loving the Mistress Borghese, as well... it also gave me another outlet to express myself, and helped bring my boy personality to the surface....which the Mistress Borghese was a terrible influence!!! When I get asked questions, I think this video really  answers a lot of questions I would get asked. So..... How do fabulous queens become the creatures they were meant to be? Find out here in these outtakes from the 2013 documentary I AM DIVINE. Very candid.Featuring Jackie Beat, Bebe Zahara Banet, John Cantwell, John Epperson aka Lypsinka, Joshua Grannell aka Peaches Christ, the fabulous Heklina, Brian Entler aka Lady Bear, Mark Payne, and the legendary Holly Woodlawn.

Fierce Queens- WORK IT, But Don't Break It!!!

I could just sit and watch queens perform all day, I swear. And it takes guts to get up and do the things we queens do and have done. The Mistress always enjoyed doing high enengy, or groove/lounge numbers, but low energy numbers can take it out of you too. I remember one time both my feet just came out from under me at the club once,(damn cock-a-tails) but like a lady, you get up and just make the fall look fierce and like it was meant to be! And I will say one thing about drag. Even though I work out three times a week, my legs muscles and definition is a result of wearing 6 inches heels for years!!! Anyho, lets get his ball going with some of my favorite performances.

First up is the ever entertaining and high energy Nina Flowers. Not many queens can do ballroom and runways with such gusto and attitude like Nina! And she looks fierce as hell doing it! Bitch can tear it up.


Next up is the more elegant Bebe Zahara Benet. Here she is at last years Night of A Thousand Gowns performing Shirley's Bassey's version of Get the Part Started.


And lastly Miss India Ferrah from his years Drag Race. I have seen India perform three times, and girls, I'm here to tell ya, girlfriend will leave you breathless and wishig you could get all kinds of flexible! This is India at Club 216 a while back before Drag Race, and this is from a different perspective of her performance will never saw on Drag Race.

Bebe Zahara is the Shit

Bebe's first little ditty, not bad!!!! Love the whole 80's feel though.

The Finish Line Appoaches

I have to admit the Mistress has really enjoyed RuPaul's Drag Race more than I thought I would. In the beginning I thought it would be blown way over the top and give the queens a negative image. But I thought it was really done very well and has even opened doors for some people the Mistress knows. They had no idea how much work went into it. And the show wasn't sensationalized with all kinds of drama like some other reality shows. The situation with Ongina was very touching and took such courage to do on national television. I haven't been touched like that by a show like this since Pedro died of AIDS on the Real World. The only disappointment was I had wished Tammy Brown would have last longer. Yesterday at work a friend and I were talking about the show when he said a friend of his worked at Logo and told him who won. He did tell me who won, but what his friend told him we don't know if we believe it or not. And I am not telling, in case it is correct. It doesn't surprise me the final four though. I did think it would be Ongina in there though instead of Rebecca Glasscock. Here are the final four left. Who are you routing for? I'm hoping Nina Flowers takes it. I have been behind her from day one.

Bebe Zahara Benet


Nina Flowers


Rebecca Glasscock


Shannel


So you do you think will win it? Could these be the final three?
