Well, looks like the Mistress has finally had enough fun in the sun, and is now back to the Casa du Borghese. Are you happy to see me??? What a whirlwind end of summer. If one knows me, I very seldom turn down any beach time. The beach is by far, my favorite locale. As much of a pain in the ass and time as getting to Provincetown and Fire Island, I just adore these two places. It is pretty much 90% gay populated, so it is very nice to be with like minded people, and the LGBTQ community can just be, and act and dress how we want with no worries and just be us. Which is very cool and refreshing. Provincetown is a cool spigot of land and reminds me if one would take Rehoboth Beach and New Hope and marry the two, you'd get P-town. A lovely beach town, but has a vintage and campy feel to it, and who can pass up on the award winning fudge shops!!! And my hostess with the mostess, Pearl Gates had a lovely schedule planned out... even at the dick dock. Some of my favorite memories from the trip.
The whale watch is by far one of my favorite things to do when in town. It's nice to see another variety of Moby Dick. They were very active this year too.
I made quite a few deposits here.
I remember Cali Boi and Sixpense wanted some basket pictures, and there was plenty of those at tea dances.
The guy in the middle here, Jacob is actually a Instagram follower who I met, and is a doctor. I had quite a few things for him to check out for me. The guy on the right is an interior designer, David Bromstead who to my knowledge, used to have a show on Bravo. I don't remember him having so many tats, I used to adore him. On a side note, All three could have choked a horse with what was in those hotdog smugglers.
The Lad and one of the clan, Marcus, from the house, acting out their Coppertone Baby fantasies. sigh..... I told you all he is a handful.
Two take out bears for Anne Marie! I hope the dear is not dieting yet?
And of course I saw some of my girls!!!
The hilarity of Miss Rchfield 1981!
Here's is Preston on the left with one of my favorites, Ben de la Creme
Cleo Phatra
If drag is your thing, P-town is the spot for you then. A boat load of queens have summer residencies there and this year we caught the talented and funny Thirsty Burlington, and she DID NOT disappoint.
I have long adored the antics of Dina Martina. Who else can pull off those lips, and a flip with a lovely afternoon kaftan? What an eye popping day look.
And the always lovely Jinkx Moonsoon! That bitch can sing!
Also in town, a treat I hadn't seen in some time was Dixie Longate, with a very convincing Wonder Woman.
Of course, just taking in the beauty of the town is always relaxing.
Merdrags do exist!!!!!!
Our B and B had a lovely room for us, even though it was a bit tight with three of us in the bed, and a very relaxing pool, and delicious breakfast. What a treat to hear the sea at night.
This was me lounging poolside, a day before we left for the next leg of the trip.
A huge thanks to my hostess Pearly Gates for taking the lead and showing us a good time, and to the Boatslip for all those yummy drinks!!!! If I didn't know better, I think those bartenders were trying to take advantage of moi. And if anyone in P-town sees Ms Moorecock, tell her I'll send a envelope with money to get her home. Seems I misplaced her in a shop up there somewhere, probably distracted by free samples of cheese or fudge. But where ever she is I'm sure she is sitting somewhere. So there's that.
WELL, WELL WELL, here we are already the final five!!!! When I did my initial post, the five queens in the top five are close to what I picked, and it was interesting to see the order I picked from beginning to end, compared to how it panned out. The biggest shock was seeing Kelly Mantle go first. But the rest followed suit pretty close to my predictions, with the exception of Milk and Adore. I thought for sure it would be Milk in the top 5 along with Adore being 6th. Josyln made it much further then I ever expected, and I'm glad for her. Heaven knows she can't act or lip sync her way out of a paper bag, and her high NRG dancing needs work, but she is so frickin adorable, and paints up real nice. I'd meet her for a drink any time, she seemed like a lot of fun. She gets my surprise hit of the season award. My initial order was...
14- Magnolia
Crawford, 13- Vivacious, 12-Joslyn Fox 11-Gia Gunn 10-April Carrion
9-Laganja Estranja 8-Darienne Lake 7-Trinity K Bonnet 6- Adore Delano 5-Kelly Mantle
4-Milk 3-Courtney Act 2-BenDeLa Crème Winner-Bianca Del Rio
But here is how I think the season will pan out from here......
5-DARIENNE LAKE
I know I will regret this, but I have the feeling she will beat out Adore for top four. But lately she has been on the bottom. It amazes me this bitch is still here. It is driving me nuts. I have no idea what is going on with RuPaul and the judges. I had high hopes for Darienne to place mid way. But she’s got a really bitter, nasty streak when someone outdoes her that’s really unpleasant. She is the nasty queen back stage you hear of. And do they not see she only as one look it seems, and how she got past the Talk Show Host episode is beyond me. That was a major disaster to watch, and she is no Lattrice Royale to make it this far. If a big girl should win, it should have been her. Lattrice had way more style, class, and a funny side than this Great Lake!!!
4-Adore Delano
I had a feeling Adore would place high, but not top 5. While she does have a great look some weeks, I don't think she is winning the season. But she better beat that big bitch this week and send her packing!!!!! I find Adore oddly endearing, even though she’s a hot mess. She’s kind of like a Labrador retriever puppy — if you can stand to get through this early phase of her drag life with her chewing up all your high steppers and pissing on the rug, you might just end up with something really lovely. I think Ru also sees a ton of potential in her and that’s why she’s been so forgiving of Adore’s missteps. But who really thinks Adore can win? Even Adore doesn’t think Adore can win.
3-Courtney Act
Going into this there was no question this already well known queen would be top 5. Courtney has been consistent, but underwhelming in my opinion, so she won't win. I was expecting great things when I found out that she was part of this cast, but I’ve yet to be wowed, except for the pearl clutching moment of the bird wings!!!!. Don't get me wrong, she is fabulous and stunning as hell, she’s giving me Olivia Newton John realness with the Aussie bit, and has legs more fishier than Long John Silvers on Good Friday. Courtney has really grown on me, both as a performer and because she seems like a genuinely nice person. When Great Lakes, Darienne was saying she should go on The Biggest Loser so she could find a nice man, and Courtney said, “You can find yourself a nice man looking just like that…” she won me over completely. I do feel she was cast just to get viewers in, with her being already well known. I don’t give a shit if she can’t make costumes or do impressions of celebrities. I would fuck Courtney Act. In drag, out of drag, either way.
2-BenDelaCreme
Just this Friday night I had the privilege of seeing this fabulous queen right here at Voyeur Nightclub in Philly where she brought the house down and is every bit the sweetheart you would expect her to be. I think BenDeLaCreme is lovely. Always pulls it off with great style. At first I thought she was just Michelle Visage’s twin brother, but she has now done other looks successfully. I don’t see anything stopping her for second place. DeLa’s experience with theater and music should put her in a fantastic position, and she for the most part has been consistent, but I think her closeness in style and talent and quirkiness, being so close to her friend Jinkx won't give her the win. It would be like Jinkx winning again.
So that leaves Miss Bianca Del Rio to take the win.......
Bianca really is the whole complete package of a drag queen with just enough campy bitchiness. She has great style, is always flawless and is down right funny. And she has fabulous lashes for days!!!! Loved the Judge Judy, her and Ben stole the whole Snatch Game.I really like Bianca for her commentary.
At first Bianca’s jokes were like bad Don Rickles rejects. But she relaxed and got into the groove. Her one liners are slick as goose shit going threw a brass horn. She is so polished and confident, I felt like she already won the whole thing from the beginning. Bianca is far and away my favorite and has been. She is also already a legend in New York and New Orleans, and historically the queen who wins the most challenges has won the whole season. If someone is looking for the whole package- Bianca is the ticket.
