Date: 2011-02-01 06:08 am (UTC)"My take on today's episode...Ladies is so sad to see how some of you disrespect each other...I don't think you guys realize how much this is going to impact your careers. It also impacts our subculture,our community. Love yourself,but most important respect one and other. I know this is tv,but we can all compete with class and dignity. Learn from it. I love you all."
Poor kids.

Date: 2011-02-01 06:11 am (UTC)I miss Nina and Pandora and all of the classy queens from seasons 1 and 2. There's been soooo much cattiness so far this season. And I may not like Mariah, but at least she seems nice. And she's willing to help out her fellow queens.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-01 06:19 am (UTC)Yeah, the backstage stuff from Season 1 was actually quite delightful to watch -- it felt like they were mostly enjoying it, as a game. Which it is! More recently it kind of feels like they're performing and/or magnifying that backstage cattiness for the camera because it's sort of --- expected, maybe, for reality tv.
It also makes me miss Jessica "with or without panties" Wild.

Date: 2011-02-01 06:22 am (UTC)Shanglea was all over Mimi. Then Mimi acused Shangela of having a sugar daddy.
It was bad.
I never saw any of the backstage stuff from season 1, but they were way more laid back in general. They were there enjoying themselves. And the same with season 2. I mean... Yeah. There was drama. But drinks were never thrown. Nothing like that.
I so agree, I miss Jessica as well.

Date: 2011-02-02 05:04 am (UTC)I am also pretty sure that Mimi is on her way out since she relies on campiness way too much. Just wanted to throw that opinion in. ^0^

Date: 2011-02-02 05:24 am (UTC)Yes! But they seemed to like it! But based on 'Starrbooty,' I guess Ru has an appreciation for high camp and overacting.
Manila's "Evil Henchwoman Realness" look was brilliant. And the fact that she described it as such.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-02 05:32 am (UTC)I love Manila's character! ^0^

Date: 2011-02-02 05:50 am (UTC)... I see what you mean though! Also, the one trick is laced with too much insecurity. She makes me nervous just watching her.

Date: 2011-02-02 09:36 pm (UTC)2) RuPaul looked GORGEOUS. I loved her makeup and wig.
3) I may be in love with Mariah. She's smart and unflappable. Loved her response to Shangela calling her 'tranny' (and WTF is UP with the queens on this show routinely using that as an insult?). Her 'we make history' speech was adorable. Yes, the editing rightly made fun of it a bit with that background music, but I appreciated that she went for it, in this age in which eloquence and intelligence are regarded as pretentious.
4) On the other hand Shangela's a mess. I hate it when they resort to cliched insults -- I mean, calling Mariah a 'pageant queen' when she was trying to diffuse the bullying and be constructive.
5) Shangela doesn't have a leg to stand on, calling Mimi 'unpolished'. Maybe she is, but Shangela's turn while lipsyncing last week was horrendous. Her wig was off, her nips were out. Ugh. And this week her hairline was visible, with her wig sitting atop her head like a hat.
6) Need moar Yara Sofia.
7) Delta Work's lipsync was perfect and graceful. It wasn't flashy but I think she really proved herself -- she has that quality I love in live performance -- a sort of confidence, comfort in her skin and sense of assurance that everything will be OK and nothing awful will happen.

Date: 2011-02-02 11:14 pm (UTC)I'm so attracted to Raja as a girl and a boy. LOL. I shouldn't be though, I aint no gay man. But ugh I hope Adam Lambert's hitting that every opportunity he gets.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-02 11:52 pm (UTC)Gasp, teehee, clutching my pearls, etc. Might as well say that he is, because there's no way to know. But yeah, Raja's cute. And attraction is complicated, so maybe you *should* be :) I'm not really attracted to drag queens and am basically gay, but I'm really attracted to Morgan in drag. She has a lesbian vibe or something, and not just when she does the Pink look. I can't explain it.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-03 12:33 am (UTC)& I'm just gonna wholesomely think that Adam and Raja are like just really good friends.
I've been finding myself increasingly attracted to gay men & drag queens lately and I'm a woman!!! It's annoying and weird haha. I'm okay with it, but I suppose I'll be forever frustrated over it.
Head over heels anyone? LOL.
