By The Lady Cocotte RuPaul is set to announce the Season 4 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars tonight. The All Stars franchise is notoriously tricky. Nothing in Season 1 made sense. Season 2 was plagued by favoritism (RoLaskaTox) and bribery (insert snake emoji). In most circles, it’s still not safe to mention Season […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Discussion: RuPaul’s Best Judy’s Race
By The Lady Cocotte It’s taken me a lot longer than it should to admit I’m not able to recap RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4. It’s been a great season so far. Gia Gunn, the obnoxious villain. All of Monét X Change’s leotards. The delusion of Jasmine Masters. And Latrice Royale. And Valentina. My […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Roast in Peace
By The Lady Cocotte I’m not very active on Twitter but a highlight of my life was a retweet from Lady Bunny. Talk about drag legend. It’s not that she’s been RuPaul’s best friend since Michelle was Michael. It’s not that she forced drag into daylight with the Wigstock festival. It’s not even her uproariously […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Jersey Justice
By The Lady Cocotte There are a handful of things RuPaul loves. iTunes residuals. A well tailored suit. And his two best Judys, Judge and Visage. RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Jersey Justice is an ode to Ru’s second fiddle. Merle who? This is Michelle country. It’s not much of a stretch to see Drag […]
A Very Late RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Recap: Snatch Game of Love
By The Lady Cocotte with purple pen by Tamara Tattles Sorry for the late RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars recap. Drag is my first love (sorry not sorry) but the holidays belong to family. Now I’m ready to ring in the new year with an All Stars version of Snatch Game. Our recent convert Tamara […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Super Girl Groups, Henny
By The Lady Cocotte Stacy Layne Matthews’ triumphant return to the Drag Race stage evokes vaseline-smeared memories of the franchise’s early days. Before she was hailed as drag royalty by her RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars hosts, Stacey was an unpolished queen from Backswamp, North Carolina. Her season 3 arc was dominated by heckling from […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 4 Premiere: All Star Super Queen Variety Show
By The Lady Cocotte The RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 4 cast is an experienced and talented group. They’re ready to wow from the minute they enter the workroom. Monique Heart and Gia Gunn show up in similar religious iconography, like bridesmaids at competing Catholic weddings. Monique is excited to prove what she can […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 4 Cast Announcement
By The Lady Cocotte I crave glitter. Paillettes. Sequence. Maribou. Wrap me in pink tulle and my problems melt away. So it’s no surprise that RuPaul’s Drag Race is my happy place. But Drag Race is more than idle distraction. In an angry world, the bravest man in the room is wearing a dress. My […]
