My Fair LadyBoy

My new favorite reality show:

Rupaul's drag Race
Mondays at 9:00pm on logo

This show is about a bunch of men, who work regularly jobs during the day, compete as drag queens (men dressed up as women) to win the top prize, which is to be named America's Next Top Drap Superstar.

What I like about this show is that it makes fun of every modeling competition that comes on TV. The lady's(he he) are twice as bitchy, catty, and gossipy. The judges are OverTheTop. The challenges are twice as crazy. I really enjoy this show because it is meant to be fun.

What I LOVE the most about this show is that We as views get to see inside a subculture that has been an underground for a really long time. In a way, Drag Queens are a form of under-appreciated art. They put together amazing outfits, they craft hair bigger than Texas, and pull out some crazy makeup jobs. I feel that, in a way, they are like modern walking versions of a Mona Lisa painting.

I know this might be a touchy topic because of societal views of gender and the gay and lesbian community. I happen to think that Drag Queens are a beautiful form of artistic expression.

Well, I am going off to enjoy the rest of my day. I'll remember to give Face(beautiful good looking face) and try not to throw any Shade (attitude).
