TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 4: Jersey Justice
These queens didn’t come to play this season. In fact, it’s only taken us 4 episodes to see just how hot the competition is getting. And believe me, tough decisions are being made. But that’s just the name of the game. The episode started with Trinity and Manila talking about sending home Gia and what not and both agreed that it was her time to go. However, we did also start to see a bit of Valentina’s shady side come forth once again. Despite being saved by Manila and the fact that Valentina even said “thanks for saving me” and all that jazz, she then went to the confessionals and…

Happy New Year folks! Well, 2018 has been a wild ride, I’ve had a lot of ups, I’ve had a few downs but now we’re on to the next chapter. “New Year, New Me” and all that bollocks.

But for now, I’m just dicking about with a hangover, remember last night’s fireworks but being too scared to look at them because of Bird Box.

How Pat Butcher Ended Up On My Christmas Tree
Yes, Christmas day has been and gone, but we are still very much in the heart of the '12 days of Christmas' and so I thought I'd write a little blog post about some baubles I bought that both melted my heart and brightened up my tree. Like all unnecessary purchases, it starts with a drunken night out.

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 3: Snatch Game Of Love
Well bugger me blind, in the words of Gia Gunn, “Shit’s getting gaggy!” I was quite thrilled to have found a very early leak of episode 3 on YouTube (link at the bottom of the article – just close your eyes and keep scrolling) thanks to the @dragrace_facts Instagram account for pointing it out. I don’t know how or why, but I’m thrilled that episode 3 was leaked online and it was juicy. So I might as well get straight into the review. The episode started with Gia Gunn explaining that she didn’t mean throw Farrah or her team off with the outburst from the last episode and the whole workroom…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 2: Super Girl Groups, Henny
Henny, All Stars 4 certainly isn’t messing around. This week the queens had to record songs as a girl group, create a dance routine, sell the story and collaborate with a very special guest. That’s right, the original ‘Miss Henny’ herself, Stacey Lane Matthews is back to slay and I’m living for this moment. I just wish she was an actual competitor. The episode started with Trinity The Tuck Taylor having a little cry that she had to send somebody home… You know, that thing that’s been a staple of the show since All Stars 2. You would have thought they’d have learnt this by now. Then we were pretty…

Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – Bonjour My Velvet Beauty! Sofa So Good
For the past 12 weeks, I have been desperately awaiting the arrival of my lush sofa set. Now, that sounds standard for a sofa delivery, but when you’ve had no form of real furniture in the living room since getting the house 7 months ago, it feels like a lifetime. Honestly, I thought I would be dead before it finally arrived. I was ready to start planning my voodoo curse on the Birstall branch of Barker & Stonehouse. However, I don’t have to feel like that anymore because yesterday was the day! Yes, I finally got my sofa! Honestly, it’s felt like forever since I ordered the sofa and I…

Happiest’s Office Christmas Party
Another year has nearly come to a close and so of course, that means that we’re in the heart of ‘Office Christmas Party’ season. However, this one was a little different for me this year as I don’t have long before I actually finish my time at Happiest. I’ve been with the Happiest team for a year and a half, but now it’s time for me to fly the nest and head off on my next escapade. ‘New Year New Me’ and all that jazz. Of course, drinking and party games started in the office to get us in the festive spirit. We wrapped up work early so we could head…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 1: Variety Show
There we have it, the first episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4 has come out and it was a pretty interesting start to the show. There were some highs, some lows, a fall on the runway, a wig caught in the scaffolding and the wrathful shade of Gia Gunn. Already it looks like the show is off to a positive start. Thank God! Because the Holi-Slay Spectacular was a tragedy. 💪🏻 I have to admit, after seeing the Christmas special, my excitement for All Stars 4 did dwindle a little bit, but now it’s out, I’m excited that it’s back. The show started in the same way we’ve come to expect now…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race Holi-Slay Spectacular
Some people say that it was the biggest event of the gay calendar since Mariah Carey’s Christmas spectacular. But in reality, it was a dreadful as her New Years Eve live performance. Don’t get me wrong, the RuPaul’s Drag Race Holi-Slay Spectacular gave us a lot of laughs, but I expected more from whatever the hell it was that I just watched. I thought I could be experiencing some sort of asbestos coma nightmare. By now, I’m sure everybody has seen this monstrosity of a special. So I thought I would dive in and discuss why I thought it was shit. However, I’m sure there are plenty of Tumblr girls who…

Film Review: Dumplin’
I would say that it has been a while since a film has touched me in a way that both made me smile and tear up all at the same time. But yesterday I experienced the film Dumplin’ on Netflix and I think it’s my new feel-good film that is so much more than just a coming-of-age movie – it’s a film about self-acceptance and love. The story follows a teenager called Willowdean (Danielle Macdonald), a plus-sized teenage daughter growing up in a small town in Texas with her former beauty queen mom (Jennifer Aniston). When Willowdean – who her mum ‘lovingly’ refers to as Dumplin’ – decides to boycott…
