Entry looks I liked: Sasha Velour, Nina Bonina Brown, and Charlie Hides. I thought Farrah's makeup was good. Vocally, does Alexis sound like Roxxxy to anybody else, or is it just me? Maybe even looks a teeny bit like her?
I was quite surprised to learn that Valentina had been doing drag for less than a year when this was filmed! If this is where she is now, think where she'll be in five years. I was impressed!
Every Lady Gaga moment was perfect. :) Well, maybe with one exception, and it wasn't because of her - she's amazing!
I'm sure this is probably just me ... but ... do you know those people who are mean to anyone they think is equal or below them, and then kiss up to those above them? That was kind of the impression Eureka gave me. She made a lot of cutting comments, and then was all impassioned sweetness and emotion to Lady Gaga ... the gushing, while probably real ... I don't know. I felt like Eureka made it really about her, like she was aware the spotlight was on her, and she was milking it. (I'm sorry. I feel like I am not explaining this very well.)
I know some fans don't like it (Which I get and respect - I understand about many bars doing Drag Race nights on Mondays, and it bringing in traffic), but for me, it is wonderful that they've moved the show to Friday! Now I can stay up chatting about it and not be tardy to work the next morning. :)
One thing that stood out for me with both Nina and Sasha: they both seemed really, sincerely committed to their looks. I think Charlie's experience will be a treat to see going forward - I expect good Snatch Game from CH.
I also like that, at least to my eye (others may feel differently), this season doesn't seem to have one queen in first place out of the gate. Like, it's not Bob and then everybody else, or Bianca and then everybody else.
I look forward to spending Season 9 with all of you! This community makes this my favorite time of year! :) Hooray!
