When I first heard mention of the show called RuPaul’s Drag Race I knew it would be a hit.  RuPaul took so many people away with her video which was played on MTV years ago when being a drag queen or GLBT was just not something you wanted to walk around and be happy about.  We must have progressed quite a bit if we are talking about Gay Marriage in the media now.  I first saw RuPaul on TV with a straight friend of mine and we both thought it was a tall, sexy women.  My mom I think was the one that actually told me that it was a man and I then I kept watching the video and acted like I did not know.  I wanted to keep watching that video over and over and over.  I could not get enough out of RuPaul’s Supermodel (You betta Work).

We have to thank LOGO for bringing us such good shows as the Drag Race although I think everyone was in shock that BeBe won instead of Nina Flowers.  Most of the Myspace bulletions being sent out right now all think that Nina should have won.  I thought she was more fierce than Bebe Zahara Benet who won tonight.  Bebe seemed to look down too much in the background and just did not seem as magical.  I thought her crying was not all that real but maybe it was.. I will have to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I felt so sorry for Rebecca Glasscock she was under so much pressure on the Season Finale.  Having to make up a rap with Cazwell, learning choreagraphy for RuPaul’s new video, and preparing for a fate fullfilled lunch of tic tacs with RuPaul can be pretty stressful but she should have had more fun with it and had less attitude with the judges.  It says on the LOGO site that Rebecca is from Ft. Lauderdale which I frequent quite a bit but have never heard of her.  I would love to check out her show if she performs with Daisy Deadpettles at Voodoo Lounge on Sundays or wherever she does her show.  I am surprised Daisy D was not in the show she could easily be the next Supermodel drag queen.   Rebecca was stunning in drag and cute out of drag but just did not make the cut.

Ongina had the fiercest cat walk out of all of them but she probably did not deserve to get as far as she did.  I like to see some wigs when I watch drag.  Furthermore, I especially loved the episode with the butch boxer/fighter girls being made over.  That was an emotional episode for me.

This reminds me of American Idol in the way that the winner is normally not the person that you really remember.  I bet the people that stick in our heads more will be Rebecca Glasscock and Nina Flowers.  Nina Flowers will be the Clay Aiken of the competition.

Supermodel, You better Work!
