(This year really is RuPaul’s Best Friend Race, not that there’s anything wrong with that.) None of them are there purely to complete a forced narrative arc. None of them are there because the editors needed to have a villain. I’m still extremely pleased about this year’s top three: Naomi Smalls, Kim Chi, and New York’s own Bob the Drag Queen. But her glamorously pageant “best drag” runway was arresting, if not boundary-pushing, and her heartfelt closing speech about growth and opportunity was powerful. The charismatic Shreveport queen struggled during this week’s main challenge, which saw the queens filming cameos in RuPaul’s upcoming “The Realness” music video. One not so pleasant surprise came in the form of Chi Chi DeVayne‘s elimination following the final lip sync of the season. I think Judith Butler said that.Īnyway, it was a pleasant surprise - one of many over the course of recapping this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, which saw everything from a rollerskating runway to the Logo show’s first all-POC top four (and top three!) since 2011. Gendering articles of clothing is totally bullshit and arbitrary, but I didn’t make the rules - Topshop did. The heather-gray hoodie I was wearing came from Beyoncé’s Ivy Park Topshop collaboration, which, while unisex as fuck, had only been manufactured in a “woman’s” size. This week, I hit up Eastlands, located at 53 Wilson Ave off the Morgan L and Central M.Īs I crossed Flushing Avenue on my way to Eastlands Monday night, I suddenly realized that I was technically in drag. That’s why I’m recapping the eighth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race by hopping from bar to Brooklyn bar where you can watch the show live every Monday night.
