TOE TAPPIN'

 Have you heard the Mistress was chosen as the Vera Ellen part in the White Christmas Reboot?

LATE NIGHT.....MISS VANjjjIE

Since it seems myself,  The Lad and our dear Eros can't get enough of Miss Vanje, while were still out, here's a clip of her performing in May. If you think she is just famous on the drag circuit in name alone...witness this performance. My money is already on her for season 11 or All Stars being back. Girlfriend can tear it up, and bring the cookies.

LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU.....AJA

In the world of drag, Brooklyn, New York is a hot bed RIGHT now with the likes of Horrorchata, Thorgy Thor, Scarlett Envy, Maddelynn Hatter,Kittin Withawhip, Frostie Flakes and Paige Turner, it's where it's all happening right now. Creating their very own style, some of the most fresh looks, themes and performances, and their very own form of drag. For such a small borough, they sure have a ton of queens there alone, but one of the most popular break outs is Aja, who won Drag Queen of The Year at the Brooklyn Nightlife Awards this year, and calls her style of performance a powerpuff girl stripper. She was also named Mrs. Williamsburg in 2014, and yet, she is far from a typical pageant queen.  Having seen her perform she is more versatile than most think, and I'm hoping she will being showing us just the sides I have seen.  Like this very interesting performance. She shouldn't be ruled out on the show, her dancing is very fierce, and her lip synchs are tight.

Take it away Aja........

MOST AVANT GARDE THING YOU'LL SEE

Sasha Velour is an up-and-coming fireball of talent, and campy fashion shaker, that resides in New York City. Graphic designer, cartoonist, illustrator, and most importantly drag artiste.

Sasha is the first drag performer, I've seen, that uses visual art in her numbers as a way of storytelling. She wanted more tools to share that narrative with the audience, so she started to use projected images…and from there she just went bonkers. Take a look at the phenomenal performance of her's titled Cellphone. It's the most avant garde thing you see all day. I have never seen anything like it. I was literally speechless. Sasha can also be seen this Friday when the ninth season of RuPaul's Drag Race starts. This is promising to be a group of the most talented season yet.

LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU....THE HAUS OF EDWARDS

They don't get cute, they get drop dead gorgeous!!!

The Haus of Edwards is doing well and may be touring to you soon! Experience an unforgettable night of dancing and death drops with Shangela, Alyssa Edwards and Laganja Estranja! Three queens in my opinion that should have went further on Drag Race, but have since been taking off with unforgettable shows. If they had danced like this on the show....my oh my!!! The other girls would have been in trouble. And these three can MOVE IT!!!  I give Alyssa a lot of credit for ignoring bad press and the past and becoming a fabulous and entertaining queen, and creating this drag troupe of hers... the drag family "the Haus of Edwards" and serves as drag mother to fellow RuPaul's Drag Race contestants Shangela Laquifa Wadley, Laganja Estranja, and the newest member Gia Gunn. If you don't get to drag shows much....take a gander at this performance from the Drag Race audience warm up this year before the finale.......

 

I'm here to tell you...it aint easy swinging hair like that and keeping it on!!!! When doing drag, I was always loving the dancing like this. But never did the death drop...high kicks were my trademark. 

Go on gurls.....werk it but don't wreck it!!!!

LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU-LATRICE ROYALE

 

That year I was sure Latrice Royale would be crowned the winner. I mean she is elegant, fabulous, funny as hell, great sense of humor and large and in charge!!!!! And I'm here to tell you, girlfriend can tear up a stage, Here is a classic Royale performance of hers I saw once when she came to Philly...this clip with her single "Weight" during the audience warmups at the grand finale taping of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 at the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles. After seeing this, Miss Latrice sure did/does deserve a win. That's right honey....  you werk that runway gurl!!!!

 

LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU-VIOLET CHACHKI

If you like drag queens and drag shows...but don't get to them often, watch this new segment for some phenomenal drag clips. First up is Violet Chachki. I'll admit....I was not on the Violet Chachki bandwagon. Ever. Being in the drag world, doing drag, and having friends who did/do drag, you meet a lot of the drag queens on the road and at shows, but I knew nothing of Violet Chachki when she came onto Drag Race. I was hoping for a Ginger Minj win, it was time for a big girl to win, and she  was the best right after Latrice Royale. But lately, lately, Violet is really starting to bloom. She was the absolute show stop on this years Drag Race finale, and I had seen her a few weeks ago for the first time, and her show was a complete jaw drop. See, Violet does a mean burlesque routine and it's is her shtick and she does it well. I had always wished I had taken up the art of burlesque...so elegant. I have no problem eating crow and giving this gal the respect she deserves. I have really grown to like and enjoy her. And her style is absolutely stunning.....

 

This is not the show I saw, but pretty close to the same. Tell me this is not entertaining, and what about the surprise move at the end with the fans!!! You go gurl!!!! Work it, but don't wreck it....
