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

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).
