The racers are back for a brand new season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race! The first episode premiered on Logo January24th, and it certainly did not disappoint. The queens are fierce and Ru Paul is all to thank for it. I got an opportunity to preview all the queens on the casting special which got me pumped for this premier! Guest judge Vanessa Williams graced the show with her presence along with Mike Ruiz for the traditional first photo shoot. This season the girls had to strike a pose while jumping on a trampoline, praying nothing fell off or out! Strong impressions were made by Raja who won both the photo shoot and the thrift store challenge. A new twist this season involved Ru Paul’s Drag Race season 2, Shangela Laquifa Wadley returning to the race for a second chance! This second chance was almost short lived when Shangela had to lip-sync for her life, until Ru told Venus D-Lite a queen from the open casting call, to sashay away.
This season is literally bigger and better than ever! We got some big personalities and a little more to love this season, with 2 big girls representing. Mimi Imfurst, who had the first breakdown of the season due to her outfit, served it in the end doing her own version of the Virgin Mary. A personal favorite would be Manila Luzon all the way from New York, New York! We will just have to wait and see who is serving it this season! Mondays may be a drag but it will have you talking until the next week! Be sure to tune into Logo and may the best woman WIN!
And if we’re lucky the queens will come to Las Vegas again, like they did last year. What fun it was to meet Tyra Sanchez, Raven and the others. That’s the cool part about Las Vegas, EVERYONE comes here, we really are the hottest place on earth to be!
