Drag Race, Season 4

Lee and I love Drag Race.

To tell the truth, he sees all of the episodes and I see about a quarter of them.

This season the clear stand-out right away was the Mansonesque Sharon Needles (great drag name!) with the undead contacts and a great zombie aesthetic.

I picked both the winner (Sharon) and who would go home in the first competition. So yay me.

But this first competition favored Sharon, since Elvira was a guest judge and the theme was the Rupacolypse (in honor of the impending end of the world apres les Mayans).

The best part of the show is Rupaul, as it is every season.

Jiggly Caliente is the hot mess who is the most fun to watch.

Rupaul continues to turn more and more into the Mommy Dearest of the competition, the loving hateful mother of his gurls.

I was impressed that Russell's honey badger meme was mentioned twice (or possibly even three times, I forget!) on the show.

But Ru didn't credit Russell or say his name at all.

I told Lee I thought there was a "very outside" chance that might mean Russell is going to appear as a judge on the show.

I think that would be awesome--ESPECIALLY if Rupaul allowed Russell to do his brand of commentary while watching the runway show.

Lee hates Santino as a judge. I love him. I love his hats and threads.

I guess it remains to be seen if Sharon Needles, the clear front-runner, can bring it in the more glamorous parts of the competition.

Because the undead look will only go so far.

The Cher is already up against the wall since nobody really wants to see a drag Cher impersonator in 2012.

That's so 1984 or something.
