   Yay, for “Drag Race!” Honestly, there are a number of queens I’d be happy to see win: Nina (so robbed), Chad (probably wouldn’t have won if it weren’t for Sharon), Manila (like Chad, probably would have won if it weren’t for Raja) and JuJuBee (because I just love her)! I really do like Shannel. Back when MySpace was a thing, we had a brief exchange of messages and she was really sweet. Maybe I’m biased. I’m so excited for your recaps, Vallegirl and I’m jealous you met Tammie Brown.

   I’m also jealous because Willam commented on your article. Hi, Willam! You’re fabulous!

   VGirl, you are so adorable!!! And you Do shine in that picture, and I’m not talking complexion.

   Agree with PPhilly about drawing Sweet Willam. Hey, those toes are important.

   Like you I really wanted Willam and Jessica Wild. I will miss them.

   I am a huge Alexis Mateo fan. I just love him in boy form and I love her personality. She is a fabulosa Disney Princess. So I will be rooting for him and also Chad.

   I do not like Manila. I didn’t like her in her season. I hated the Heathers. I really hope she does not win. So I am going to have to disagree with you there.

   Funniest queens are Pandora and JuJu Bee. So love them too!

   Ps the only choice for All Stars I just don’t get are Mimi Imfurst. Why!? Nobody likes her! She about killed that one Queen in the LSFYL. I just don’t get it.

   Chad would have just slaughtered Drag Race if it hadn’t been for Sharon Needles who is tha bomb!!! But this really can’t be AllStars with out Willam!!! If she needed a pedicure then baby film around HER SCHEDULE!!!!!!!!
   IMHO they didn’t include Willam because she is what I would call a RINGER, there would be no suspense because who the hell could beat her!? I wish she would give lessons on how to be that….awesome

   There are a few queens that I would have liked to see as color commentators. Willam is at the top of that list.

   That is what all “All Star” seasons of various shows need to have. There are contestants on every show that may not be the best, but they certainly have the most interesting comments. (Not that Willam is untalented, of course.)

    OMG great idea! Willam should be like a commentator or judge and then we get him the entire season! Would rather hear him judge than Santino.

    I’m so depressed about Willam. *sob* I’ll just have to deal with her hilarious Tumblr commentary.

    Manila was ROBBED! And I’m saying that as a lover of Raja too. She’s my girl in this race though, I adore Pandora. I did on her season and still do! I’m not big on her style but I love a funny queen over anything else. I’m not one for just a pretty or serious queen.

    All I really want is a Snatch Game to see Manila and Pandora TURN. IT. OUT!

    Is anyone else thinking that the only reason MiMi is there is because Mariah Paris Balenciaga couldn’t? :/

    I so wish Jessica Wild were in instead of Mimi. Or Ongina! Gosh, I adored Ongina and her little bald head. She was so fun and sweet on Drag U, too.

    As of now, I’m pulling for my girls Pandora, JuJu, and Alexis. Pandora confirmed that there’d only be six episodes of this season, so I’m guessing it’ll be a bottom THREE lip-synch and then two sashay away each week until the finale.

    Sadly, my school doesn’t get Logo because we have crappy Comcast so I’ll be watching this season on their website again!

    Let’s just hope that Mimi is Imfurst out the door. At least Jiggly isn’t among them. Tammie Brown is Norma Desmond reincarnated. I’m loving that “Tiger Lily” video. I hope she stays in the running for awhile. I’m looking forward to seeing the all-star girls this fall. It’s always a letdown after the race is over, and I’m glad we don’t have to wail till January for the Drag Race fix.

    I was also super disappointed Willam wasn’t chosen for all stars, I thought for sure she would be. Luv Manila though, she has been my favorite queen in all of Drag Race since about the 2nd episode of Season 3, I absolutely adore her. Crazy about Raven too, though, I’ll be so shocked if she’s not in the top 3.

    Logo is really going down hill, I can’t believe they have all these fabulous queens back, and are only doing six episodes . . . . how many did they do of that awful little pageant girl . . . worst show ever!!!!

    Have to agree with you on most points (valle) and awesome to see you in the arms of Tammie! You must be tall . . . I met her at a logo event, and all the queens were glamazons!!! Towering over the rest of us!

    I like Latrice and Pandora more than you, I guess. I really like Chad, but she’s not very entertaining in this format, I hope she brings it and proves me wrong! Love Juju and Raven, hope they bring the drama. So happy to see Nina again, she was ahead of her time in her season, and after the Raja and Sharon wins, she could be a contendah! She’s had a lot of years to work on english . . . not that that should be required. Even Tammie could benefit from the recent trends. Have to agree that she is so Bette Davis Madcap . . . but I heart!!! She just makes me smile.

    Manilla is also a fave, I wish her lots of luck, as she’s gorgeous and funny. Mimi has a chance at redemption . . . she’s been here before, and probably better understands what’s required. I also think america loves a good weight loss story, almost as much as a weight gain story, hee . . .

    Love the screen grabs here, love the colors!!! the Raven one is amazing!

    I could just go on and on, but I’ll save the rest for the season. I do like Willam, but I have to imagine whatever the funny business was that got her booted off DR makes her a contractual risk. I have to say, I didn’t like her brand name dropping and attention whoring. And besides . . . she’s getting a pedicure, right!? Maybe she’ll do a blog . . . that could be rich!

    Smooches, Valle, and wink-wink, I do photoshop work and would be happy to reduce your shine. It’s the least I could do for all you do for us gasmi!

    Thanks for all the love. I really think Drag Race brings out the best in society. I know my opinions of Pandora and Latrice are not the norm so I won’t argue with anyone who thinks they’re awesome. Especially since I generally like both of them as people. Especially Latrice.

    Unfortunately, since this season runs in the fall I won’t be recapping. It conflicts with Boardwalk Empire. But I’m sure whomever covers it will have a great time. Sadly the new recapper won’t have Willam to write half the recap with her charming quips, but luckily Manila, Jujubee, Pandora, Latrice…and yes, Raven…are there to pick up the slack in the quipping department.

    Finally, juddfan, thanks for the ‘shopping offer. But I think I was just glowing from the excitement of meeting Tammie (Oh yeah, and getting a hug from Slava and a smooch from Pit Crew Jason…regrettably, that photo didn’t come out because the camera was on a wonky setting.)

    I seemed to remember that Mimi had alot of votes on Twitter. I think that she and her friends set up a tons of accounts and voted for her. That is the only way to explain why a Queen who sucked and was voted off early is on the All-Star Season. I agree with you that Latrice could use a bit of more glamour in her looks but she has such a great personaltiy the same with Pandora.

    Emily: I thought the same thing. I remember she was like last place and then jumped up to the top 10 and everyone was like what?! I call shenanigans!
