Ditas Whip - RuPauls Drag Race Season 6 - The Wait is over Kittens!

Gurrls! Welcome to Dita's Whip - The Drag #Whorespondent of Icon Art Marilyn! Finally it is officially here! The season six premiere of RuPauls Drag Race! The sixth season of this spectacular, unspookable and jaw-dropping transformation extravaganza  is giving us life in every second that it blesses our TV screens! 

And dayum season six is going to be full of fierce fish throwing shady shade in shanty style! Bring on the firing squad, Darianne Lake is ready, but so are we!

Tonight on Logo TV we will see the whole first episode in whole of the new season where we see whom of the queens TV series inspired couture send her packing or gets her the Ru stamp of approval in the form of a shantay you stay! And darlings I am voting for .. both to go home! #AllTAllShade But lets get it started from the beginning. As the new queens entered the workroom we had all the shade at first as they were only seven and had to compete just between each other. They will just meet the others after they survived this first episode. 

When the queens began the season with the usual Mike Ruiz photo-shoot they had to make a jump into TV. Literally. Jumping into a pool of foam they had to give leg, body, face and fish in the air. And Laganja Estranja grabbed the win as she was giving us legs for ages and fierce for days! When the main challenge arrived the queens had to create a couture outfit that resembled from stuff that aligned to TV's best known shows, including (Fucked UP) Duck Dynasty, Keeping Up With The Kartrashians, Dancing With The Stars and Golden Girls. In the end Ben De La Creme and April Carrion rocked the competition with Ben winning. I started to absolutely hate Laganja Estranja, adore Adore Delano even more, despise Kelly Mantle for her lack of character profile and fashion forwardness, disagreeing with everyone about Vivacious hideous walk and outfit and finally starting to think that all that Gia Gun is good at is giving face. So in the end I definitely am looking forward for the second set of girls to get it to the next level. So gentlemen, start you engines! And may the best woman win! Oh and the guest judges of course were Mike Ruiz and the hot hot hot Adam Lambert!

See you next Tuesday for another Dita's Whip with all the T about Drag Race! Cause from now on: Tuesday will be the T with Dita!

"Born Naked, The Rest is Drag" - Sharon Needles

Hey hunties, it's, what a surprise, Dita again here! Today it comes down to another episode of "Born Naked, The Rest is Drag" featuring the unspookable and drag-tastic winner of RuPauls Drag Race Season 4: Sharon Needles. So don't share your needled with Sharon Needles.

Anyways. Sharon started out on season four as somewhat an underdog as people recognized her only to be a whack job or a spooky bitch with nothing but facades and no depth to her drag. But she constantly brought the house down from the very first second on as she one the first weeks main challenge in her post-apocalyptic couture. She impressed the judges as she clearly did not survive the apocalypse but died during it and came back... with blood dripping from her mouth. During season four she proved to be a knockout and has wowed the judges with her costume versatility. And who could ever forget her legendary fights with the phierce PhiPhi O'hara. The whole party city and busted showgirl thing still gives me the shivers and want me to kill PhiPhi (Sorry Gurrl!). Other highlights of her season performance include her Michelle Visage at Snatch Game, her K9 couture and her seemingly endless pot of white foundation.

After winning season four of Drag Race she engaged on a public wave and recorded her debut album PG-13 that is a great combination of musical ideas with her Gothic punk attitude. As well she features her former boy and girlfriend Alaska Thunderfuck, Ana Matronik from the Scissor Sisters and Amanda Lepore. She released her latest single and video, called "Dressed to Kill" a couple of days ago and it is sickening hunties! So get into it, watch it below and see you tomorrow! XOXO Dita!

"Born Naked, The Rest is Drag" - Pandora Boxx

Hey dolls, its Dita! How you doing? Hope you hade a fierce day yesterday and now are ready for the second episode of "Born Naked, The Rest is Drag!" of the week. This time it features New York based,  RuPauls Drag Race Season 2 darling and Miss Congeniality winner: Pandora Boxx.

Pandora Boxx's is the firce, funny and "female" alter ego of 41 year old Michael Steck, who has made Pandora's boxx a really great act to experience. Pandora has so far been part of RuPauls Drag Race, RuPauls Drag Race Allstars and RuPauls Drag U making her one of the most appearing queens on the franchise, as well as she has been on Shery Vines (Remember the post about Sherry? Read it here!) "She's Living For This" variety show and she currently is a writer for the Huffington Post LGBT New Voices. Besides that Pandora is a queen to watch, and having a look at how she developed during Drag Race, it becomed pretty obious why. Pandora is always changing up her wardrobe and tries to keep it interesting. But unfortunately that happened not enough during the show and so Ru called her the Susann Lucci of the competition: always on top, but sadly never the winner of a challenge. Pandora has a unique sense of humor that came to a great expression in her portrayal of Carol Channing in the Snatch Game. There she wowed the judges, but ultimately did not win. (It was a shame girl!) Her elemination from Drag race was one of the most controversial ones in herstory. But Pandora held her wigged up head high and went on from there.

She was voted the actual next drag superstar after her elimination by EW.com. She from then on had countless appearances on TV and her performances are funny, campy and entertaining. Besides beeing a landmark in the NYC drag community Pandora performs all over the world and has released several comedic songs. My favorite one is her rendition of "I Wanna Have Some Fun" and turning it into "Nice Car (Sham About Your Penis)". So go forth and check out this seasoned and beautiful queen!

See you tomorrow! 

XOXO, Dita

"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!

Picture by Tim Evanson. From Wikimedia Commons.

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!" - 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"!

Screenshot belongs to LogoTV

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.
