New Reality Show: RuPaul’s Drag Race

Sandra Rose December 19, 2008

Infamous drag queen, RuPaul, teams up with the LOGO network to find the next ultimate drag queen. The new show, titled RuPaul’s Drag Race, pits seasoned drag veterans against burlesque newcomers to the drag scene.

It’s RuPaul’s job to separate the Hagathas from the ultra-fierce and crown the Ultimate Drag Diva.

I will be watching when RuPaul’s Drag Race premieres in February. But I have one problem with the show already: its host.

Is RuPaul confused about his fabulousness? Why is he dressed like a Wall Street stock broker with too much starch in his skivvies?

Tyler Perry would have made a better host, I think.

Thanks to loyal reader 2bme for the link!

Times have really changed. I remember when being gay and cross dressing and carrying on was taboo – now it’s just all out and force fed to everyone…

I didn’t listen while I watched, but I think RuPaul wasn’t in drag because none of the guys were. Ain’t no way he’s gonna be keeping his fab covered up the whole season. I can’t wait to see it. He is dead serious about maintaining a skinny woman’s weight. I think he would look so much better with a little weight on him. His caved in cheeks are aging him.

I wanna see it! =) But what is the Logo network? Never heard of it, but know I ain’t got it. Hope they post the full episodes somewhere where I can watch…

WOW….

on another note I wonder what made him start dressing as a man again. LOL i remember back in the day watching LL Cool J’s “In the House” and Ru Paul was his best friend that had a secret…he was a low-key drag and LL didn’t know at first…then he came out with his femme gear and I was like “OMG that’s RU PAUL!!!!”…First time I saw him as a man…

Maybe RuPaul is past that now…..y’all know he was HUGE in the 90’s….he’s matured, maybe?

Maybe he realizes his time has passed….I think he looks good though.

sorry but i could not stand to watch this past 60 seconds. i do not have a problem with gay men but the flamming ones tend to get on my nerves after a while.

Ru is starting to age but he is still an OG in the drag game. I’m definitely watching!
