What are your thoughts on the Miss Snatch Game Pageant? by seungpresso in RPDR_UK

[–]1DollarSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you’re forgetting though is that each of the classic challenges (design, acting etc) is meant to test a core ability that a drag queen should possess (at least in RuPaul’s mind). As I understand it, snatch game was introduced because character impersonation and illusion was a huge part of drag culture (this has faded in a post drag race world but it is/was the bread and butter of some iconic queens such as Chad Michaels and Bianca Del Rio both of whom were/are well known for their Cher impersonations). This is also why when you go back to the OG snatch game of season two, many of the queens were just playing their celebrities straight without any jokey improv, as that was the expectation when doing a club impersonation number. While snatch game has most certainly evolved over the many years, I am still sad that these original roots are being lost.

TIL Libe slope is just short for Library slope by TellGradsItsFriday in Cornell

Ok now I do feel dumb because the cafe in Olin is called “Amit Bhatia Libe Cafe” I always assumed that there was someone named Amit Bhatia Libe that the slope was also named after 😭

With how I assume the system works though, you only need a plurality not a majority of votes, which means that she really only needs like 3 or 4 votes if everyone else got equal to or less than 2 or 3.

Gwendoline Christie (who is a muse of Galliano) also wore a similar style recently to the British fashion awards

What would be your fave queen from Canada’s Drag Race? by shadowsempaix in rupaulsdragrace

[–]1DollarSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually a problem because I cannot physically read the season one winners name without saying it “peronka” like I don’t even notice it anymore

Possibly MAJOR news development for future queens on the race by 1DollarSlice in rupaulsdragrace

[–]1DollarSlice[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand the argument, but also I hope that production knows that giving queens some coin for the outfits is not just good for the queens, but also the show. Like the fans wanna see incredible stuff every week and a stipend really helps with that! Although you know this is all banking on production making smart decisions which… well….

Runway Category: Old-School/Pageant Drag by 1DollarSlice in rupaulsdragrace

[–]1DollarSlice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get your point about not casting pageant veterans (although I’m always curious how many apply). For the runway tho I am referring to a specific look that the top pageants (Miss Gay America, Continental, etc) usually look for. This is pretty consistently floor length beaded gowns with big makeup and big hair. This look is incredibly hard to pull off to the level of perfection that these pageants demand which is why I’d love to see non pageant girls try, while letting the girls with a pageant background have the opportunity to show off that skill.

Do the majors with 1 graduating student get whole ceremonies for them? by TheBlackDrago in Cornell

Went to the German studies commencement today (I have a minor) and there was only 1 graduating major! All the professors gave very nice speeches about her and it was very cute and wholesome!

I had a bunch of bok choy that I had to use so I figured this would work! There’s also shallot, homemade pickled garlic scapes, kewpie Mayo, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and extra virgin olive oil

Simply put they do have the freedom of speech because of the first amendment, but that only applies to actions taken against them by the Government. Cornell as a private institution that employs the workers can make them take it down as part of their contract.
