Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

"Born naked, the rest is drag!" - Jinkx Monsoon

Yes, I have to admit that I have horribly neglected this part of my blog, so may the drag goddesses forgive me! But I will try to redeem myself from that and give you a glimpse why I think that Jinkx Monsoon is one of my favorites! Get your swim vests out: Its Monsoon season!

First and foremost you should all bow down to Miss Monsoon since she is Drag Race Royalty! Yes, lil Jinkx (As Roxxxy Andrews has once put it.), has won the fifth season of RuPauls Drag Race and has beaten many fierce competitors, such as Detox Icunt and Alaska Thunderfuck. And that must have been hard work! Anyways: If she is not in drag Jinkx goes by the name of Jerick Hoffer. And damn i got to say that I love both of them. Jinkx is classically trained and has finished college with a summa cum laude in theater. Wow that is pretty impressive!

Jinkx is really into her craft and a trained, talented and skilled actress! Several times she has proven to be a skilled entertainer and also a funny and witty comedy queen, who in my eye represents glamour in a way I have never seen it before done by a drag queen. She represents the style of the 50's and 60's with a little mash up of the 20's. And I think that role befits her very well. 

What is interesting to know about Jinkx is that she has narcolepsy. So there comes her nickname: the silent sleeper from Seattle. And she aligns herself as Seattle's youngest MILF. Besides kicking ass in the Snatch Game, her funny mantra "Water off a ducks back." and her great humor ("It's gonna be hard to top Coco. But look at her, who would want to top that?") she has won the fifth season of RuPauls Drag Race and snatched the crown. 

After her heroic triumph she has started a web series called "Drag Becomes Him" where the life of Jinkx in and out of Drag is shown. And I gotta tell you that this series has some thing that makes it so great! Can I give it an Emmy? If you haven't seen it check it out below! 

So you see there are tons of reasons to love Miss Jinkx. And since she has gotten the stamp of approval by Joan Rivers, we can be sure she is drag and comedy gold! A true diva!

"I Love Art!" - Frankensteins Bride had a sex-change!

Drag divas and queens for me are one hell of a bunch! Since I really like, love and adore them and their tremendous ability to draw a canvas called face, and make their appearance like from another planet! And one of my most famous Drag Queens is Satan's secretary and winner of season IV of RuPauls Drag Race: Sharon Needles!


And to do her spooky drag royalty some justice I did a drawing of her as Frankensteins bride. So I hope you enjoy it and think that this drawing of her drag highness is not only drop dead gorgeous but also spooky sexy! Elvira wishes and Sharon Needles paints it (On her face!)!

Born naked, the rest is drag! - Willam Belli

Hey you out there! This segment is, like you can read, called: "Born naked, the rest is drag!". Each time present to you one drag queen I'm really into and I will try to give you a short glimpse at why I like this queen in particular.

I have dragged about this lil fierce honey before, when I wrote about her hilarious song parodies. But I'm not gonna start with that since it is the most obvious. Willam Belli is an LA based Drag Queen that has done lots of television work, in drag and out of drag. Included are CSI, Nip Tuck and Glee. He has been featured on RuPauls Drag Race Season 4 where he made a really good figure, but (sadly) was excluded from the competition since he broke the rules. (He was visited by his husband)  But as Willam said during the Reunited show: "No RuPaulogies". Thing is that she would probably have taken home the crown. What makes Willam special is not only that he has the sickening body of death and is fishy as fuck, but that he is actually pretty much talented and very creative. He has proven that his acting is A-list, and that her singing skills are chart worthy and her make-up always is professional. (Except for that five o'clock shadow sometimes!) And FYI: She is a very good reader! (Because reading is essential! And by that my dear, not informed, readers: I do not mean reading a book!) And oh my dear! She is very sharp tongued! On Drag Race she has proven that her crafting is good and that she is a true diva. His character is very self confident and sometimes a bit arrogant, which does not mean that she is not a sweetheart and giving (sometimes).

I am a huge fan of Willam, but I do really understand if people dislike her since she is no innocent lamb, and can be pretty cruel. Also her sometimes arrogant attitude make her extremely, well lets say, not that lovable! But if you have the chance: Go check her out, and maybe you will hear her performing her big hits: "Chow Down (At Chick - fil - A)" and "Boy is a Bottom"! (And there were the song parodies!)

Music Minute: Drag Edition - Silicone by Willam Belli, Detox and Vicky Vox

Our favourite cross dressers are back with another hilarious parody on their hands! 


Like you all know I am a huge fan of drag queens and drag in general. Yesterday some of my favorite Drag Queens Willam Belli, Vicky Vox and Detox have released a new song parody called: Silicone. the song is a parody of Robyn's infamous "Dancing On My Own". and let me tell you: They did a fierce job! Its a super funny video of them singing about silicone and plastic surgery and procedures! And there three fierce hoes have really outdone themselves with their looks this time! Hell no, there is no point where you have any clue that they have a secret between their legs! But have a look yourself and have fun!
