Rupocolypse Now

Oh boy. We are back, people, and the most fabulous hour of reality television is with us. It is season four of RuPaul's drag race, and I am so happy to be recapping it again for you. If you are new to the show or to my recaps, welcome. This show gives us reality TV at its very best, a unique look at a bizarre world filled with larger-than-life characters. 13 drag queens compete to become "America's Next Drag Superstar", and this is evaluated based on four criteria. Charisma. Uniqueness. Nerve. Talent. The ladies enter one at a time and size each other up. My first impression reactions of each of them are below.

Willam: Willam starts off by telling us how she is an actor and has been on Sex and the City (or perhaps it is the movie, I don't know). She makes a point of saying he didn't come up through the club system, so she is a bit of an outsider. She really has a lot to say about herself, and I am guessing she will clash with some people. She is a very pretty lady.

Well, have I got a treat for you. I will be recapping a reality competition like no other, RuPaul’s Drag Race. Airing on Logo, RuPaul’s Drag Race takes 13 fabulous drag queens and has them compete to be America’s next drag superstar. The show is part modeling competition, part sewing and costuming competition, and part personality competition. It is difficult for the written word to do this show justice, but I am going to try my best. I don’t know a lot about the drag world (although I recently catalogued Shims in Hollywood), but I encourage you to join me as we learn about what makes a fabulous drag queen.

First up, let’s meet our ladies.

Delta Work: Delta is a self-described “big girl” and wants to be the next RuPaul. Those are some fabulous pumps to fill.
