Here's an excellent interview with Ru Paul. Who is not running for President. Nor a cranky old libertarian. In case you hadn't noticed. Ru was up in New Hampshire last week, doing some promo work for the new season of Drag Race and giving the political reporters something else to write about other than another few hours with the clown car brigade. Best line (I think this was from Ru Paul's twitter): "Cheap publicity stunt? I'll have you know I flew here first class!" Looking forward to the new season (1/30 on Logo) which according to the interview, and the photos of the drag queens back this up, will be more Gaga-esque than previous seasons. I wonder if that's becoming more of a trend in drag so Ru and/or the producers decided to move in that direction. Altho season three's winner, Raja, was definitely working an edgier style of drag than either Bebe (season 1) or Tyra (season 2). So a move in that direction wouldn't be coming completely out of left field for the show. Altho if they do start featuring more edge and less glam, Mimi Imfurst (from season 3) is gonna be spittin' mad. I think Mimi's problem was that she kept trying to channel Leigh Bowery and no one was getting the references. Maybe if she'd said she was doing Gaga instead it might have worked out better. No probably not.
Anyway.
You better work!!
