HIV / AIDS Awareness Commercial




I know this place has been "kinda" dead since Season 3 wrapped up, so I thought I would share this. Making icons of it right now. :)


And I was wondering if anyone else has been watching Drag U. I thought last year was uninspiring, but this year has been a total blast. Between Carmen's make up tips and Bebe going "Oh, girl.." constantly, the show has improved dramatically.

But I think the best part of the show is that it really focuses on the women that they are helping:

- Lady Bunny are giving them "Lady Lessons." And depending on the theme of the show, is what the lesson is on. A few weeks ago, they had nurses who wanted to feel sexy.. So, Lady Bunny gave him tips on how the underwear you choose actually wears you.

- The judges don't give grades for physical transformation anymore. You can see it helps the confidence a lot more.

- When the girl with the top DPA wins, they play Superstar loud and proud. If you ever heard Ru's version, total motivational piece tbh

- Finally, as if you didn't need any more convincing, Ru is such a wonderful person and the show highlights how much he cares about other people. <3

I love this show! I think they're finally getting their groove. "And now a word from RuPaul" always gets me! Gherkin!

Hearing Raven tell Manila that she didn't want to be a Heather, she's a Veronica was one of the highlights of my week, NGL.

So funny that you posted, I went to Boxer's in NYC two weeks ago to meet Manila Luzon! I have to link my photos!

Drag U has improved so much this season. I love that the show eliminated the grading. That didn't do anyone any good. Plus more Lady Bunny and tips from queens! More Shannel and Onjina, yay!

My only objection is that we don't have enough Pandora Boxx this season!

Yes! I loved Manila's reaction to 'Diesel Mangina.'

I LOVE Manila. She's totally Gorg. Please post your pictures, I would love to see them!

Yes yes, photos!

And I hope there's more Pandora this season too. She did such a fab job on the episode she's been on so far.

The HIV commercial is great. I've come to love Alexis so much :)

And yeah the new season of Drag U is SO, SO MUCH better than the first. The lack of grading is good, as is more Lady Bunny, more lesbians!, and the guest judges. I was happy to see Mariah a couple of times already, too. Poor Bebe, though. Her lady this week was kind of obnoxious.

(Also, I kind of love the fact that someone always cries while talking to Ru).
