"Iconic Photography" - Nirvana meets RuPaul

Photos and photography are a part of how we keep memories and important moments in our life. With pictures we keep things from our past and preserve what we love. History in progress often is documented with photographs, some of these photographs have gone around the world and reached an iconic status of themselves. But some photos capture more then what meets the eye.

Such images might not be that iconic, and sometimes do not even go around the world. But things are that these images are very well able to transmit things on a whole other level. They create feelings and provide us with the certain feeling of the moment the image was captured. Since everyone of us has a digital camera, a smart phone or a tablet and takes photographs all the time, shares them in digital networks and makes them available for everyone, images with the certain qualities I described become more and more valuable. One of these images is from the 90's. Featured on this image are, the supermodel of the world and probably most famous drag queen of the world, RuPaul Charles and iconic, tragically died Nirvana member, Kurt Cobain. Also on the picture are the other members of Nirvana.

Of course I did not take the photographs. But the rights belong to whoever took these.

"Born naked, the rest is Drag!" - RuPaul GIF Extravaganza!

Oh my! I have to say whoever made that: I have to so thank you for that! This is "dragnificient"! I love me some RuPaul GIF's but this one stole the show from all! I mean seriously: She looks amazing, and the opera glass is just OMFG! So good luck, and don't fuck it up!

"I watch it, so should you!" - RuDunnit!

What happens if you combine the forces of the Top 4 contestants of RuPauls Drag Race Season 4: Sharon Needles, PhiPhi O'Hara, Latrice Royale and Chad Michaels, then include Michelle Visage and add some product placement here and there by Absolut? Yes, you are ABSOLUTly right: "RuDunnit"!

Ru-Dunnit is a film noir detective story starring the Top 4 drag queens of season 4 of RuPauls Drag Race and Michelle Visage (Who could be a Drag Queen herself, and I am sure she is a nellymaker XD). Sharon Needles, who has won the 4th Season of RuPauls Drag Race, comes to meet with private "transvestigator" Michelle Visage because her crown has been stolen! And what is Americas next Drag Superstar to do without her crown? And who we got as possible thiefes? Of course they are no others than Latrice Royale, PhiPhi O'Hara and Chad Michaels aka. Mamma Plastic Surgery. ;) So you have to watch it for the reason of the cast alone and the funny lines. Also the Absolut product placement is ridiculously over the top... and is so campy that I love it! And finally, is it just me, or does Michelle have huuuuge, Elvira like, boobs? Its like they are from boobsforqueens.com! But anyway: You should watch because, seldomly I have seen a commercial with such a story and devotion to it. 

Quote of the Day #008

“When you become the image of your own imagination, it's the most powerful thing you could ever do."

RuPaul Charles

Besides mother Ru's legendary quote "You are born naked, the rest is drag!" this is my most favorite one by Ru. Basically this fierce queen says that the biggest achievement you can ever make is to redesign yourself in any way you wish without beeing held back by boundaries, people or societes! Just like drag!

I ... Amanda Lepore - I wish I were...

Red Carpet Lips and porcelain face

Hey fellas! Lately my obsession for drag and Drag Queens has risen to an extensive amount of crazyness, Each morning, when I drive to work, I listen to songs by RuPaul, Sherry Vine, Sharon Needles and Willam Belli. As if that is not enough I raise the bar by adding rapper Cazwell and the worlds, probably most famopus, transsexual: Amanda Lepore!

Okay here is the thing: If you havent heared of one of them.. go and google the shit out of their names! I mean seriously! You gotta know their work because it is drag-nificient.But here is the real story. Whe i searched the web for new music for my car I came across the following song by Sharon Needles from her album PG 13: "I wish I were Amanda Lepore".

And you have to believe me: "I wish I were Amanda Lepore" is so my new favorite song in the car! Bravo Sharon! And then I came across that Miss Lepore had recorded a solo album and of course i did what any good obsessed follower of pup-culture would do: I bought the album and it is called I... Amanda Lepore! And let me tell you: It is worth it! Here is my absoloute favourite from the album, with in addition an even more amazing video. The song is called Marilyn. You can watch the video below. I just love the way the video deals with the whole Monroe story, it is such a good installation. And  Amanda just looks like Monroe. And the song really alienates the video and elseround. Love it!So go and fresh up you knowledge on Grad and Trans and listen to that music! And before you judge just read what Amanda had to go through to become who she is today!
