![]() ![]() Just as the tears were starting to well up, I was hit with a startling revelation: Oh, Cherry’s going home. As she explains it, there was a lot of toxic masculinity, so not only was it difficult for her to come out as gay and as a drag queen, but even for her to be a nurse, which is not considered a normally masculine occupation. Once, at a cocktail party in London, I couldn’t find my phone and a very sophisticated-looking older lady said, “Oh, the Gypsies probably took it,” and everyone laughed no one was like, “Um, lady, no.”Ĭherry’s experience was a little different as a member of the community. While they may not be people of color, they are definitely an ethnic minority, and it’s almost like it’s acceptable for people in polite society to openly disparage them. It’s a little hard for Americans to understand Travelers and how they fit into society because they’re not really that prevalent Stateside. If every time I had an emotional breakdown I scored a hot guy, my bedroom would look like the auditions of Magic Mike Live.īack in the werkroom the girls are painting their faces to look like rats, and Cherry is talking about how she grew up in the Traveler culture in the north of England. What do I have to do to get that man to come next to me and rub my back seductively and talk to me in a calm, soothing voice? Oh, apparently I have to have an emotional breakdown like Lawrence does when she can’t seem to remember her lyrics or the steps to the dance. ![]() When they get to dance rehearsals and we meet choreographer Jay Revell it becomes incredibly clear that this season we are only hiring hotties because he is, and I believe the correct spelling is, ffffooooooooooiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeee. After the hottie who took last week’s photos, is Drag Race only hiring hot dudes in ancillary roles this season? The rehearsals bear out what we already know: Lawrence is not confident, Veronica can really sang, and Cherry isn’t as hot as she thinks she is. The queens go to rehearsals, where they’re working with Michelle Visage and her real-life vocal coach Dane Chalfin, who is a sexy, bald, bear-daddy snack. One of these queens is about to be destroyed like a Starbucks bathroom. This means one of two things: Either Veronica is going to totally flub it and go home, or Cherry is going to prove that she wasn’t up to the task in the smaller role she’s assigned and go home. Veronica, a trained musical-theater professional, and Cherry, a Botox nurse from Lancashire, are duking it out over the juicy role of Evita, but Tia, afraid to take risks, gives it to Veronica. Our Lawrence may be many things, but a singer and a dancer, she confesses, are not two of them. Why isn’t an aggrieved queen always handing out the parts so she can make other people’s lives miserable? It seems like no matter what role Lawrence gets she’s going to be afraid of it. This will become obvious when Tia Kofi, named the basicest, gets to hand out the roles for Rats: The Rusical in a twist that’s absolutely inspired. The cockiest award goes to Lawrence Chaney, which is ironic considering that her bravado is really just masking her rather evident insecurities. If this were on Netflix, would it be called Cobra KaiKai? They even get flirty later at the workbenches. During the voting we find out that Tayce and A’Whora had a one-night stand for one-named queens. Oh, wait, that’s me, too.Īs for the hottest, the award goes to Tayce, whose hair in the confessionals seems to keep changing colors like Hades from Hercules. For your consideration: a lady who thinks being mean is a personality. It turns out that A’Whora is the shadiest, but that is an award she campaigned for like Pete Buttigeig playing Tracy Flick in a community-theater production of Election, or at least like Melissa Leo trying to get her Oscar. They all have to vote on which queen is the shadiest, the hottest, the cockiest, and the most basic. Speaking of kaikai (which, as I’m sure you know, is when two drag queens knock size 13 Jessica Simpson boots from DSW) the mini-challenge has the girls getting hot for each other. Why? Who knows? The obvious answer is attention, but I would like to think that it’s some kinky kaikai action they have going on behind the scenes. Is this how racists feel all the time? And then I realized that they were both wearing elf ears. And then I was like, Not all white people look the same. And then I was like, No, it’s Sister Sister. Then I saw them again and was like, No, girl, it’s Ellie Diamond. When the girls were in the werkroom for the mini-challenge, I noticed that Ellie Diamond was wearing plastic caps over her ears so that she looked like Frodo Baggins styled as a teenage homosexual with items from Forever 21. The worst thing about this episode was the elf ears. ![]()
