If you are not watching this show then dear Lord you are missing out. It is beyond amazing. Think America's Next Top Model and add some guys dressed as girls. That is the simplest way of putting it, and it does not give it justice. It has everything a reality competition show needs. It has drama, comedy, performances, fights and so much more. The idea is to find Americas Next Drag Superstar.
Seven of my favourite Drag Queens are as follows:
Willam - The rebel of the bunch. The only Queen to ever be disqualified and throw up on the stage, and she did it all in one night.
Jinkx Monsoon - The latest winner. Absolutely hilarious. She introduced a new generation to Little Edie. She took everything in her stride like 'a water off a ducks back'. A deserved winner.
Raja - She was actually a make up artist on Top Model. She decided to take the stage herself. Her fashion would blow your mind - one in particular was her Native American look - My God. She went on to win the whole thing.
JuJuBe - So funny, so pretty and so talented. I loved her. She lost her series and got invited back to the Allstars, she lost again but whatever she was amazing.
Chad Michaels - She is a classic Drag act. If you want to see a professional act then look no further.
Alaska Thvnderfvck - After applying 5 times she finally got through. She was different, beautiful and once again hilarious.
Sharon Needles - My ultimate Queen. She had a twist on the Drag look - she was very goth. She didn't give a shit as she just did what she did. Also she is Alaska's boyfriend in real life.
However the King of Queen's will always be Ru Paul. She is Tyra Banks on acid. Obviously taking the piss at times, but she does it so well. This show used to be on late night on E4, but it needs a better air time. I feel a British version would be awesome - maybe Lily Savage could come out of retirement. F.Y.I the term 'Drag' is British - William Shakespeare invented it. Basically its Dressed Resembling A Girl. So lets bring it home.
