   Vallegirl, excellent recap. Whenever I need a good chuckle I head over to the Gasm.

   I don’t give a crap about Alyssa and Coco’s beef- It sounds stupid and if this is supposed to be for drama, it’s so not working. Not for me anyway, yawn, that’s what I think about it.

   I also think Untucked so far has been a snore, the surprises in the “Big, pink, furry box” have sucked so far.

   That being said, I still adore Drag Race and will watch faithfully for as long as it runs.

   I can’t understand why they never show Season 1 at all, anybody know? I thought that was the best year!

   Vallegirl: I’m not done with the recap yet but I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDING THE CHICKEN LADY!!! I loves me some “KITH” like it’s my job. Also, the “Vivi…zzzz” had me struggling to contain my laughter at work.

   I live for your Recaps, Vallegirl! I was lol-ing at the part about “David”. That seemed kind of forced. You could tell Paulina’s skin was crawling over having to be in the same room with Coco T and I don’t blame her. Pat, I have always wondered the same thing about season 1. It truly had the best queens- except for Rebecca. But I don’t understand why they act like it never happened.

   if I hear Vivienne comment one more time about how “FISHY” she is i’m gonna scream, she’s the manliest looking one this season and one of the manliest looking ones in the history of the show, Look at Page 8 and tell me different, Alaska dressed as Buffalo Bill was fisher than Vivenne, she needs to go asap!!

   Also, Paulinas dig at Tyra was funny, but really rude. I’m not a big Tyra fan, but Paulina wouldn’t have even been asked to guest judge on Ru Pauls panel if Tyra hadn’t plucked her ass out of obscurity and had her as a judge at the peak of ANTM’s sucess and exposed her to the generation of today, I didn’t know who Paulina was till she was a judge on Top Model, I mean I eventually learned she was the IT girl of the 80′s, but let’s face it besides Coco Monteres were any of the queens out of elementary school in the 80′s?? Tyra Banks is an ego manical bitch no doubt and Top Model is now basically a giant ode to the one and only Tyra, but she made Janice Dickison, Twiggy & Paulina names again, even Janice didn’t make a Tyra joke when she guest judge and she probally hates her more than anyone else. Just my 2 cents.

   Paulina had written a novel prior to being the ANTM judge and was already resurrecting her own career. And by all accounts Paulina’s book was better than Tyra’s, too.

   Plus, Tyra just dumped that whole crew (including Sutan) in what was a rather rude way (I’m fuzzy but I think Paulina got a phone call…on her birthday), so quid pro quo.

   Tyra’s book was atrocious lol, I don’t want anyone to think I’m defending Tyra because she has done alot of people dirty through the years, maybe it’s why she so succesfu, because honestly if it wasn’t for Top Model, guest judging a drag competiton would probally be the only way she’d be getting her face out there. Also the whole COCO/Alysaa thing is getting old, I have a feeling it’ll resolve it self when they have to lip sync aginist each other, Honestly as annyoing as CoCo is, the bitch can lipsynch the house down.

   I’m really trying to get into this season but maybe I am jaded because I think last season was the best.

   I agree with the whole Alyssa (who has got some serious SJP horse teefs going on… some people just look worse with caps) and CoCo (who will say anything trying to be funny in her interviews…and it don’t werk!) beef. It is so tired and we just. don’t. care!

   I did lmao at Alaska on the previews for next week. “Chaz came out of Cher’s va-gina!”

   Oh, and Pope Philly…I got to see KITH on a tour they did a few years ago. Still awesome.

   I can’t prove that Detox is a KITH fan, but I’ll believe it until proven otherwise.

   @Pat – Last week’s Untucked was to classic that anything this week would have been a letdown. But this was even worse than expected. But I am with RPDR for the long haul.

    Honey Mahogany’s walk was PAINFUL. We’ve seen a few busted runway walks this season, I think we need to bring in Raja for some walking lessons.

    I had no idea who either of the guest judges were this episode.

    I love Monica and you can tell she is a sweet girl. I hope good things come her way. She was out of her depth. Aptly put.

    I am getting tired of these Queens dissing my two favorite party stores! Last season they dissed Party City and now Hobby Lobby! Damn you I love those fucking stores!

    @JMo – AHAHAHAHAHAHA…poor Toni Collette. Although, I will say Uncle Dick kinda looks like what I’d expect Buck to look like if he dressed like T on “United States of Tara.” (Yes, I watched it and was finally at peace with that painfully pretentious and awful opening sequence.)

    But April, fear not. Both Party City and Hobby Lobby got great publicity for their stores because both Sharon and Jinkx are two of the more creative queens on the show, ever. Especially Jinkx’s pink runway outfit. That was such a fantastic little confection that Alyssa’s criticism of the “yellow shoes” was weird. Yellow is a perfect accent color for pink and Jinkx’s makeup job was flawlessly Close-ian.

    I am glad Monica has been sasheyed.
    That girl always looked like she was just coming out of a Zipper Club.

    @April- also called a ‘Back Room’ (the place in a gay bar where patrons have sex)
    And now it occurs to me I may be spending too much time on LOGO.

    Congrats, on being the 1st blog to post a pic from my furry pink box video. I promise Miss Jolie and I are 2 separate people, most of the time. The video was edited super short, and the moment was understated, but I’m proud I could be a part of it and support Jade (who at least got to see the whole video message), none the less.

    aaarrrggg!!!

    I know this is a snark site but if the above comment is really from Jade’s BF then I think that is sweet (even if I did find the comment about Jade and her BF being the same person terribly amusing). For the record I like Jade in spite of her Nazi porn past. That shizz is in some serious bad taste but whatever floats your boat I suppose.

    My real gripe is with Detox. Am with the recapper that the whole rolaskatox thing is way annoying and needs to stop. Also don’t find Detox funny the way Willam was. Detox seems to have a superiority complex married to a nasty disposition. Not a great combo. And her fashion sense is completely Adult Video Awards which is fine but not very creative or interesting in the way Alaska’s is. Hated Detox’s runway look. Wasn’t anything to it more than an old fishing net. And she was wearing a ruff just like the ruff they gave miss panama such grief over. And her porn ain’t so savory either.

    So do I April. Of course, I was a huge Raven fan, so it figures. I’m coming to really love Jinx though!

    I didn’t like Detox’s outfit either.
    The boobies freaked me out, and they didn’t have nipples. I feel like if that outfit was on a real woman, you would be able to see some nipples.
    Didn’t like the ruff or her hair either.

    That’s a big reason why I thought Roxy should have won. She was so much prettier up there than Detox, and I found her character much more entertaining.
    Maybe they gave it to Detox because it isn’t easy to be a drag animal and she really committed to the role and brought alot of fun to it, but I just don’t think she should have won.

    I liked Vivienne in the first episode because she was so mean to Serena, but that aside, she is pretty boring. She also suffers from Dita Ritz syndrome, where for one reason or another, she refuses to wear hair of the proper size. I really think if she wore bigger hair, it would help offset her jaw. She’s a pretty woman until you hit that chiseled, manly jaw. That jaw looks like it belongs to a lumberjack or MMA fighter, not a sparkly drag queen.
