I always feel like Manila loves what he's doing even when it's kind of out there and not everyone's thing, there's a joy that is really infectious :3:

That was a good first episode and I enjoyed it, the result was not surprising.

I'm all about how loving tired everyone is of sponges and brown cow stunning lmao. I'm here for p much all of what Willam said, other than his being bored by/wanting Gia's number to be more drag and less traditional.

Wouldn't it in part depend on your description of drag? I mean, to me Gia's performance was drag, because she was wearing stereotypically feminine clothing and Performing stereotypically feminine dance, in as much as I know about anything relating to Japanese culture. It just wasn't Western. Granted, I might just be an idiot who has a limited understanding of what drag as a concept actually represents. Saying it's not drag based on my understanding what drag is, doesn't make sense

Maybe this is unreasonable, but I feel that if you're actually a woman coming out dressed as a woman isn't enough to qualify as / feel like drag (which I know is controversial, but I guess this is why the whole concept of admitting trans people into the competition is controversial). I want it to be bigger or more over the top or something.
For me that gets into one of those areas that I don't feel like I can talk comfortably about - specifically transwomen doing drag traditionally as done by out-of-drag male-presenting people - without totally talking out of my rear end as someone who has no real insight into either except through the internet and Drag Race. I do get the desire for more over the top, that does make sense.

That being said the non-singing non-comedy performance was great and I wish Gia wasn't just so... Gia offstage.

12 thoughts while watching this episode stoned out of my mind:

1. I want that "YES FAT YES FEMME" shirt Farrah was wearing.

2. Holy poo poo Farrah going off on Gia made me happy. I'm glad someone called Gia on her poo poo.

3. "Fake as gently caress dot com."

4. jfc naomi's legs give me them

5. Monique's voice is really good drat

6. If Latrice ever has a milkshake duck moment I will loving riot because I love her so much

7. Every one of Valentina's talking heads comes off as barely-restrained crazy in a way that makes me slightly uneasy. Maybe it's the eyes that always seem held open really wide for some reason. Or the total lack of eyebrows.

8. Seriously though Naomi's legs??? How even. And he's also talented??? gently caress.

9. I didn't agree with how they judged Monique.

10. Gia no seriously stfu.

11. Valentina earned that win, that was tight.

12. Aw Farrah keep working at it honey, you've got a good attitude and you're getting there

I was about to get real steamed about the Monique vs. Latrice decision until that "and one more thing.." from Ru :catstare: Latrice lost that one and should not have stayed.

Honestly it's weird seeing Latrice so bitter. She seems convinced that her elimination was a personal attack. Kinda lovely to still be mad at Monique when she's just following the rules of the game. In any event I hope Latrice does better than she has so far. Be a shame to return for nothing.
This is exactly how I feel - the bitterness is weird and deeply offputting to me.

I'm quietly excited by this in the same way I would be if there was a dwarf competing. Having positive representation for either of those two things I share is always cool and it's really loving sick that I've gotten to see both of those on RuPaul's Drag Race of all loving place :unsmith: The women from the reality TV show that were on in whatever year recently were the most real representation of being a dwarf woman that I've ever seen in my life.

Unasked for thoughts from watching this after waking and baking:

Valentina is crazy but man sometimes she's a very likeable crazy?

Ru is wearing a star of david?

Manila is super cute when he smiles :kimchi:

"You're skinny, I'm... sometimes skinny"

All the club bits were good for me, I laughed at least once in all of them.

Rediscovering Trinity (I fuckin loved her look on the runway) has been kind of a joy, I think I really underappreciated her on her first go.

Carson is just a wonderful little man and I want to hug him.

I kind of wanted the elimination to go the other way just for the ongoing entertainment for me as a viewer but I think they're both strong competitors in their own way so it was A Choice.

I saw Rent in a small theater in San Francisco and and it was basically the most perfect theater experience, so I made the choice not to watch the TV version, and after seeing Twitter I am kind of glad of that.

Pangina just tweeted that she's going to be at Drag Con and I have to admit after seeing their lineup, it'd probably be a pretty fun experience. If I wasn't already traveling for various weddings and dwarf stuff I would be real tempted.

my thoughts and opinions after watching drag race post wake-and-bake as usual:

Beginning of episode: "RuPaul's best friend race!" :kimchi:

End of epiode: "WHAT. BURN IT TO THE GROUND." :black101:

Genuinely kind of bummed to see Manila leave because he's always been a favorite of mine with regard to his looks and skill, and I think he didn't deserve it based on past record, but in terms of runway outfit being interesting he deserved to be in the bottom (but didn't deserve to be the one going home from the bottom). It definitely made for :eyepop: TV and was a good interesting strategic move on Naomi's part.

It's weird going into this and being really kind of "meh" about who wins. I feel like I'm watching it right now more so I can check twitter without being annoyed at being spoiled.

That being said, and totally unrelated to AS4, I kind of like Soju :3: The personality and vibe do it for me and I like the bright colors. The lipstick definitely needs some work.
