I cannot keep up my shitty job at doing a RuPaul’s Drag Race if it is going to be all about Kandy. I just can’t. On the other hand I want to hear from you guys about what you think so I am going to try to keep this one brief. Utica feel terrible that […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Super Queen Grand Finale Discussion
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
By The Lady Cocotte RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is back with one last challenge before the finale. After last week’s scandalous elimination, the queens are willing to do whatever it takes to win. Join us for a rollicking discussion of every flounce, every ruffle, every backstab along the way. Warning: This post (and comments) […]
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 […]
Rent: Live Watching Party
Fox hopes third time’s a charm with Rent: Live (Sunday, January 27 at 8pm). Hot on the heels of the mildly successful Grease: Live (2016) and poorly received A Christmas Story Live! (2017), tonight’s telecast is based on the Broadway tour de force celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. A re-imagining of Puccini’s “La Bohème,” […]
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 […]
The Lady Cocotte’s Drag Corner: Puerto Rico, RHOA and Alaska as Valentina
By The Lady Cocotte Drag doesn’t stop when RuPaul’s Drag Race is on hiatus. Season 4 and All Stars 2 “supervillain” Phi Phi O’Hara saw what Hurricane Maria did to Puerto Rico and wanted to help. She called on 28 of her Drag Race friends to donate their time (and tips) for a special, one […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Grand Finale
By The Lady Cocotte I can’t believe I’m about to watch Mamma Ru crown the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race. It feels like only yesterday the season nine girls made their way into the workroom (and our hearts). Even my therapist was surprised to hear the season was over so soon (yes, I talk […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Reunited
By The Lady Cocotte We’re one week away from crowning the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race so it’s time for the reunion show and I’m really excited to see some of the eliminated queens (hey Valentina, Eureka and Farrah!). Since the reunion was filmed recently, they’ve all had a chance to watch most of the […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Category Is…
By The Lady Cocotte This is it, Squirrel Friends. Tonight we find out who makes it into the top three of RuPaul’s Drag Race and the competition couldn’t be stiffer! First we have Sasha Velour, my personal favorite and the only remaining queen to never lip-sync for her life. She is creative, incredibly smart, […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Gayest Ball Ever
By The Lady Cocotte It’s the top five, bitches! The creme de la creme of RuPaul’s Drag Race. We’ve said a teary goodbye to some mighty fine queens along the way (and good riddance to a few stinkers) and now the crown is finally in sight. In all probability, tonight spells the end for Broadway […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Makeovers: Crew Better Work
Hi! It’s Tamara, I will be filling in for the fabulous The Lady Cocotte tonight as she actually has a life this holiday weekend. I am still UTTERLY DEVASTATED from last week and am dead serious when I say I am hoping that something happens where Valentina comes back this week. We start with the […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Your Pilot’s on Fire
By The Lady Cocotte After an unexpected two week hiatus, I’m back! Sure, I watched RuPaul’s Drag Race while AWOL but I have to admit, it wasn’t as much fun without your comments. And Tamara Tattles did such a good job recapping last week’s episode, I knew I had to reclaim my show before she […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: RuPaul Roast
Hey you guys, I am filling in for this episode of Drag Race. Sorry about the delay. Your usual recapper, the divine The Lady Cocotte had life get in the way last weekend, and I have been swamped and unable to get anything up on this episode myself. I am going to make this a […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Snatch Game
By The Lady Cocotte Well, life got in the way of my RuPaul’s Drag Race obsession this week. Unfortunately, it’s not because I’m at DragCon. Nope. While the rest of my friends are knee deep in drag, I’m stuck at home being an adult. I’m not happy about it. At all. I guess I’ll […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Reality Stars, The Musical
By The Lady Cocotte If there’s one thing I can count on, it’s RuPaul’s passion for self-promotion. How else do you explain tonight’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race? Or, as it’s become known on social media, the Kardashian episode. No, VH1 didn’t splurge on K-family judges (although Khloe faced-off with Bianca Del Rio in season […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Good Morning Bitches
By The Lady Cocotte I didn’t even realize it but I’ve been avoiding tonight’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Cleaned the fish tank. Put away laundry. Played with the dog. Everything but watch my favorite show. What’s up with that? You know how seriously I take drag. It cheers me up when I’m down and […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: She Done Already Done Brought It On
By The Lady Cocotte Here we are again. It’s time for RuPaul’s Drag Race! I’ve been waiting for this moment all week. The websphere has been all agog about who’s returning so let’s waste no time and jump right in. The “Previously On” montage morphs so quickly into the new episode I almost missed it. […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Oh. My. Gaga!
By The Lady Cocotte I had a lot to accomplish today but while I was busy adulting, all I could think was, “Drag Race, Drag Race, Drag Race…” Yeah, I have a little addiction to RuPaul’s Drag Race. I’ve accepted it. Feathers, glitter, paillettes. Reading, rivalries, RuPaul. And the sisterhood, always the sisterhood. I love […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race Returns Friday on VH1
By The Lady Cocotte Can you feel some extra glamour in the air? Are you reconnecting with your charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent? That’s because RuPaul’s Drag Race is back! And they’re moving up to the big leagues. That’s right. After testing out the waters during All Stars, Drag Race is officially moving to Logo’s […]
