Start Your Engines!

It's time, once again, to put your stiletto to the metal for Ru Paul's Drag Race! It will be airing on Mondays on Logo. I don't get Logo, but they post all the episodes on the logotv.com website. They also post the behind-the-scenes show, Untucked.

To get you prepared a Drag Race Primer:

Drag Queen: "A gay man who has far too much style for one gender" -Noxzeema Jackson

Shade: aspersions cast upon another, often regarding target's appearance, best when both true and funny. Also known as "reading".

Example:

Work: Has nothing to do with the traditional connotation of the word. Generally involves walking, giving face, and posing to the death. One is commanded to "Work!" when one is already looking fierce.

This season's contestants are posted on the website now, with bios and pictures.

I don't know who will be my favorite this year, maybe Mimi Imfurst (she seems funny) or Raja (one of the makeup-artists from ANTM). One thing I do know is that I'm going to love every minute of it!
