The premiere of “Drag Race” was certainly fun (Ariana Grande appeared!), but it’s impossible to separate the entertainment from the protests and hate happening around the country.
But last, it did. Unlike those other shows, which have either faded into obscurist Twitter jokes or spun off far from their humble boardwalk beginnings,had a secret weapon no other show has been able to mimic: Pure, unfettered, queer determination. What madesuch a phenomenon was the amount of sheer talent on display in every frame; what was once underground blossomed on-screen.
Already, it’s clear that the overarching storyline for the season will be the competition between more experienced, older queens and the younger queens who got their start on social media. But before a wig can be pulled or a six-inch acrylic can be stabbed through anyone’s padding, a familiar face arrives. Look over there! Season 6’s Vivacious? No, it’s Ariana Grande, holding a replica of Ornacia up with her inhumanely strong ponytail.
The best performances of the night were courtesy of Mistress Isabelle, whose titties bounced separately from her body; Marcia Marcia Marcia, who humped a photo of The Hilarious Ross Matthews; Sasha Colby, who escaped a straitjacket to The Cranberries; and Jax, who jump-roped with her own damn hair.
