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: Sex and the Kitty Girl

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 […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Finale: A Jury of Their Queers
By The Lady Cocotte On RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars finale night, my DVR forgot it’s most important job. Le sigh. So here I am, a day late, watching on the small small screen. Once Shangela disarmed BenDeLaCreme’s final landmine, we were left with a final four no one was expecting. There’s the annoying frontrunner, […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: My Best Squirrelfriend’s Dragsmaids Wedding Trip
By The Lady Cocotte BenDeLaChrist has effectively reset RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 3. For the first time all season, the crown is up for grabs. Everything up to this point has been dress rehearsal. And the queens know it. Without their moral compass weighing them down, they prepare for war. Whether it’s plotting […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Handmaids to Kitty Girls
By The Lady Cocotte Last week, lolling on the beach took precedence over RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars but you’ll be happy to know I’m once again firmly tethered to my radiator and ready to recap. And just in time for the Ru-demption episode. The top five are about to face some very angry sisters. […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: All Stars Snatch Game
By The Lady Cocotte Going on vacation is great but not when it interferes with RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. You know I live for this show. I’ve somehow managed to stay spoiler-free so here I am, 24 hours late, diving into one of my favorite episodes: Snatch Game. Things are getting shady in Ruland. […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: The Bitchelor
By The Lady Cocotte It’s week three of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. So far we’ve said goodbye to Morgan McMichaels and my girl Thorgy Thor. Will this week finally be Chi Chi’s turn or will she prove to be Season 3’s Roxxxy Andrews? Will the world finally see Milk as she sees herself? And […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Divas Lip Sync Live
By The Lady Cocotte Thursday is quickly becoming my favorite day of the week because it brings me RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. For an hour and a half, all of my worries fade and I’m home. Last week, BenDeLaCreme won both the mini- and maxi-challenge. She walked away with $10,000 but also had to […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Season 3 Premiere
By The Lady Cocotte Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. It’s finally time for RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 3! I’ve been home sick for almost a week now and serious boredom has set in. But tonight it’s all rainbows and paillettes. My fabulous friends are back! For an hour and […]
Scared Famous premieres Monday, October 23, on VH1
By The Lady Cocotte Just in case you forgot October is the scariest month of the year, VHI brings us an 8 episode advertisement for their reality shows masquerading as an homage to horror. Scared Famous, premiering Monday, October 23, moves 10 VH1 “stars” into a haunted house in Savannah, Georgia, to fight for $100,000 […]
