Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

Plants on the runway! This week’s design challenge has the queens feeling their oats, wheats, grains, thins and oatmeal—and a whole array of other food groups—to create high fiber fashion on the runway! Plastique gets three mommies, Yvie gets fed up, Shuga gets fed, RaJah isn’t afraid to bark, Silky isn’t as smooth as she thinks, A’keria is your aunt who plays football, Nina West is Snoopy, Vanjie sounds off in Untucked and Brooke wastes no time showing personality with those reaction shots. Plus: Alyssa Edwards is here to help water this crop of queens with runway advice, and RuPaul tills the soil for another Emmy.

Mary, please welcome to the stage, New York City's beloved Drag King: Vigor Morits. We spent an evening discussing drag kings, gender, and more. It's a long discussion- but worth every second. He is a joy, a mary, and someone with amazing stories. Enjoy! Follow Vigor Mortis: @heyvigormortis on instagram and twitter.

Go for the gold, Mary! The olympics of drag are doing draglympics complete with fanography (fan’s back!), voguing (I’m so into voguing right now), and some light shablams every now and then. Yvie’s honesty is put to the test while Vanjie talks through her tears in the work room. Nina West brings us operatic drag while Scarlet cuts a rug and a dress to try to stay in the competition for one more week. While Akeria finally takes home the gold, Rajah qualifies through one more last dance despite her 3rd time on the bottom.

RuPaul’s throwing a monster mash this week for this season’s ball challenge. Most of these queens tend to serve more beauty than beast—and we’re not sure how half of them are trick-or-treating in those outfits—so it’s a runway big on ooky, but not quite spooky (besides Scarlet, who is somehow just safe this week). Ariel, like most mermaids, isn’t great on her feet, but was swimming away with that lip sync until that flip of the fin, and Brooke Lynn is, believe it or not, the only mummy on pointe in RuPaul’s Drag Race history.

This week on Nuance, we dive into all the goings-on in Untucked, including the budding buddying up of Brooke and Vanessa, Ariel telling the truth and Nina creating reaction gifs.

Say yaassss to the dress, Mary! We sat down with Alexis Michelle to queen out on TLC's "Drag Me Down the Aisle"! Alexis, Jujubee, Thorgy Thor and Bebe Zahara Benet bring the magic of drag all the way to Lancaster, PA, to help a young bride-to-be not only look fabulous on her wedding day, but feel fabulous everyday. "Drag Me Down the Aisle" is re-airing on TLC on Tuesday March 26th at 9pm (EST), and available on iTunes and Amazon Prime.

This week, there is collusion among the queens for a lip sync musical extravaganza inspired by both Grease and the grease fire that is current events. Nina West continues to win the popular vote, Ariel struggles in the primaries, and Brooke and Vanjie might be rigging each other's polls. The Divine Miss Minj makes an appropriately ginger cameo, Silky snags a win that could be considered fake news, and RaJah air guitars no less than three times in the lip sync but still gets the electoral vote from the judges.

On this week's Nuance, we dive into Yvie and Silky's battle of principles (complete with a non-sequitur of a dress reveal), how important it is or isn't to know pop culture references, which diva we could host a televised prayer circle for, and who deserves to be awarded. this week's Best Supporting Actress.

Praise be, Mary! The queens are ministers of the good word of musical divas Mariah Carey and Britney Spears, but only one group can ascend to the heavenly safety of the Untucked lounge. Nina West, on the third challenge, has risen, and Vanjie is making the most of her second coming. But a vengeful Ru casts a plague of lip syncs on half the queens, giving Honey a hell of a time for falling from grace--I mean, the stage.

We had our very first live show at the 2019 Listen Up PDX Festival in February! While Portland has lovely people and delicious potatoes, it also has legendary drag, including the oldest working drag queen (with a Guinness World Record to prove it!), Darcelle XV! We had the huge honor of sitting down with both Darcelle (aka Walter Cole) and Portland's premier drag clown Anthony Hudson (aka Carla Rossi) to discuss what exactly is Portland drag, how the city's drag scene even started (it's largely thanks to lesbians!) and the experience of watching the queer community evolve through some of its most formative decades. This was a really amazing experience--a big thank you to Listen Up PDX for making this happen! @ListenUpPDX (Twitter) Follow Anthony Hudson at @thecarlarossi everywhere! (And we highly recommend Anthony's podcast Gaylords of Darkness!)
