Last night's Project Runway was probably the freakin' greatest episode of all time. Why? THEIR CLIENTS WERE DRAG QUEENS.

Trinity loves drag queens. I love everything about them. The make-up, the hair, the costumes. Man, I went to a gay bar in Sydney only for the promise of drag queens. One of the ones I saw was probably the prettiest girl in the whole place. Including the actual females. Fuck yeah, I love drag queens.

Not so freakin' great? The loser? MADE HIS DRAG QUEEN LOOK BORING. That's gotta be a goddamn sin. Look good, look bad, baby, but don't make your queen look DULL. If she's not in sequins and pleather, in a corset and high heels, darling, YOU ARE NOT TRYING.

Don't get me wrong: drag queen fashion is hardly "fashion." I'm sure that most of the designers were like "WTF?" (Except one, who said she'd worked on drag couture before and she made the most STUNNING entry. That, of course, did not win.) But drag fashion is a few pieces of sculpted plastic add-ons and some extensions away from proper couture. Far as I can see, the only difference is that the drag queens have penises while the high fashion models are just disfunctional XYs with undescended testicles. (No, I'm not kidding. How do you think some of those "women" get bodies like starved pre-pubescent boys? THEY ARE BOYS!) Plus, drag queens have more fun and are allowed to fucking eat.

Yes, you could argue that Bravo is doing its damnedest to ruin the show before Lifetime gets it, but they almost managed that last season with the challenge to design for the female wrestlers of the WWE. This, at least, has the pretense of fashion. One of the queens, my favorite, Hedda Lettuce, basically went to her designer and rattled off a littany of typically bad-fashion pieces she wanted--lace, sparkles, shinyness--but demanded that she look good, look classy. THAT FABULOUS BITCH, I LOVE HER.

This was more fun in an episode than most of last season all put together, so if they're trying to destroy the show, it's backfiring. They need to do a drag episode EVERY YEAR.

Never heard of this show, though I do find your entire comment rant about drag queens to be highly highly amusing ;)

DRAG QUEENS ARE MADE OF WIN.
