VE Day 75th Anniversary – “We’ll Meet Again”
As you all know, today is VE Day. Not only that but this year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War 2. This year has hit people hard with Covid-19 and the anthem of both VE Day and the lockdown has fittingly become ‘We’ll Meet Again‘ by Vera Lynn. It’s hard to celebrate and stay positive when you can’t socialise with friends or meet up with family but we’re all doing the best we can with the facilities we have. How did I celebrate VE Day? As I’m sure you know, I’m living on my own so there wasn’t much I could do. I went for a…

“You cooking with me you cooking with the best!” – Flour is the new White Gold
During these crazy coronavirus crisis times, it’s hard to stay motivated, productive, and sane. Jobs are furloughing people left, right and center (myself included) and supermarkets are the most stressful experiences imaginable. In fact, I’ve done well with supermarkets. I’ve only been to ASDA twice and then I’ve bought little bits from my local corner shop. But there’s one thing I’ve noticed that has been selling out in bulk and people are craving it – flour. Yes, flour. That thing that usually lives in the back of your cupboard for years. People are now wanting to make their own bread to avoid supermarket stresses but getting flour is like finding an…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep7: Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical
The Snatch Game is over and now it’s time for the next challenge. We’ve seen sewing, we’ve done acting and we’ve had the impressions and a terrible improv challenge but now it’s time for a musical. More specifically; Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical! But before we get into it, let’s talk about the start of the episode. Brita sent home Aiden which you can tell she was thrilled about but then acted all gutted and like she had to say bye to her best pal. How Brita acted: How Brita felt: This couldn’t have been more false and I’m glad Widow addressed it in her confessional but I wish she did it in…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep6: The Snatch Game
Quelle surprise, the episode starts with Brita kicking off at Aiden because she felt she should have been in the bottom. Guess what Brita, she was in the top and you just escaped the lipsync. Don’t get Brita – just get better. Still, its time for Brita to put her money where her mouth is because she’ll be acting solo this week for The Snatch Game! The Mini-Challenge – Zero-PPE Exposure to Vanjie There wasn’t really a mini-challenge this week. Instead, the queens just had to be in the vicinity of Vanjie yelling, hitting on the queens and offering terrible advice. Vanjie literally did one of the worst Snatch Game…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep5: Gay’s Anatomy
From a sewing challenge into an acting challenge – this is the show’s format that I’ve loved and missed. Gay’s Anatomy was pretty darn good in my opinion – and that’s kind of what this blog is about so yeah, I liked it. I have to be honest, this one was fun (and you know these acting challenges can usually go one of two ways *cough* “Shakesqueer” *cough*). Quelle surprise, the episode started with Brita being a Bitter Betty to Aiden. Guess what, your outfits were shit and that’s why you lipsynced and not her. Also, Rock’s outfits were a mess. Yes we all like her but Aiden’s looks were more…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep4: The Ball Ball
After last week’s ‘World’s Worst‘ episode and saying by to our first queen, Dahlia, the competition is very much on the way. But will this week be a step up from the last? I think so. Why? Well, because its time for a ball – The Ball Ball to be specific! Now, there are a lot of outfits to talk about here so I’m going to try my best to blitz through it as quickly as possible. The Mini Challenge – Queen Bees As you know, every season seems to have some sort of weird dance break, get into a weird costume type of challenge these days. Season 12 was…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep3: The World’s Worst
I’m just going to throw it out there, I thought this episode was DREADFUL! Legitimately, it was fitting that the episode was called The World’s Worst because this episode is definitely up there. Like the ‘The Bossy Rossy Show‘ challenge of Season 10, this improv challenge felt too forced into a narrative due to Ross Matthew’s bad puns and awkward pre-made characters. Anyway, this was the moderately-anticipated moment we saw all the queens come together. Will they love each other, will they hate each other? Will it be the same as Season 6’s drama? Probably. The queens had a bit of interaction with each other. The first week did a…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep2: You Don’t Know Me
Here we go, the second half of the cast are ready to join the party! Before I review the episode, I’m going to throw a quick spoiler out there – I thought this episode was substantially better than the first episode. Just saying. The first queens might be ‘that bitch’ but these girls are here to say “You don’t know me”. So far the season is shaping up to be a fun one but I do have to address the elephant in the room… The Sherry Pie Drama You may very well have noticed this little introduction to the episode this week: While a lot of people are trying to…

Let’s Address The Sherry Pie Problem
I know this is a bit of a touch-and-go topic to talk about but I feel like it needs addressing. Sherry Pie, real name Joey Gugliemelli, is a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12. So far, she’s been killing the competition. Sherry Pie’s campy persona, quick wit and bundles of talent which actually makes this all a little more awkward. By now, I’m sure all you gays and girls know about the Sherry Pie scandal. If not, let me brief it because I don’t want to give it too much air time. The Sherry Pie Scandal At some point in her past (during her time at university I believe),…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep1: I’m That Bitch
Here we go gays and girls, are you ready for a new season of Drag Race? Season 12 is here and each queen had a message for the world; “I’m That Bitch“. The show decided to split the group in two, much like they did in Season 6… you know, that format that everybody hated! I don’t want to wait another week to meet the whole cast, I want them now. Whenever I revisit Season 6 (and let’s be honest, I do it a lot because it was the golden era of Drag Race) I skip the first two episodes and start where all the queens are together. But enough…
