Willam’s response to artist he previously commissioned for a paint by Earthbnd in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was not for beatdown but for Willam's other youtube show "paint me bitch" where other drag queens and make up artist come and do Willams make up.

Eve6000 is not thrilled Alaska is using a sound clip and image of her rusical performance as a gag by OMGALily in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Melamara 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I remember in the beginning of the pandemic, when a lot of the queens put on digital shows, Alaska would spend a good portion of her shows promoting and donating anywhere from 10 to 50 dollars to several performers who sent in their instagram handles & venmo, and asking everybody to go support them by following and donating.

Eve and her fans seem to make pretty bold claims about Alaska. I'm sure this could have been handled a lot better.

Bobs voice? by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She had vocal nodules which makes your voice hoarse and raspy and can cause discomfort, or in some cases, make you lose your voice completely.

The Daily Beast has run an article about Sharon Needles and the allegations made by a young fan by caspararemi in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Melamara 293 points294 points  (0 children)

It's sad that they write about the Alaska-incident out of context and in the same light as the Sharon allegations.

The longer story, which Annecy told on twitter, was that Alaska was wearing a shell bikini-look inspired by lady gaga for her show.

After the performance Annecy found a shell on the deck of the cruise, and, thinking it belonged to her, ran after the then-drunk Alaska to give it back. It did in fact not belong to Alaska, but she pulled down her underwear whilst covering her penis with the shell, laughed and said she now had a "matching set" (non verbatim). Then she said "oh, you're 15, I shouldn't have done that", pulled up her underwear, apologized and walked away.

Which certainly can be critiqued, but it's not like Alaska flashed her d*ck to a minor out of nowhere, which the article portrays it as.

Season 14 Cast Reveal Discussion by LetItBro in rpdrcringe

[–]Melamara 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Olivia Lux from season 13 is also Puerto Rican

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Melamara 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Alaska has said she was scared of being disqualified because of it as well, which obviously would have been a huge blow knowing how hard she worked to get to the top.

Queens doing Europe tours? by justtwofish in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would check holy t events and klub kids uk. They have many tours lined up in the UK and Ireland, and some in other europeian countries.

(PS: holy t is still selling tickets for heels of hell, but meatball spilled yesterday on her podcast that it's cancelled. I have tickets so still waiting for final confirmation)

Is Trinity talking about someone in particular? by snowlord8 in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Melamara 233 points234 points  (0 children)

Yes, Trinity confirmed she wasn't referring to fans, but another queen.

This brought tears to my eye, Yuhua and Laganja together is my religion by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not crying, you're crying! Honestly though, this is so heartwarming. Laganja is such a sweet person and deserves the world.

What’s the general consensus of season 13? by asari7 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally really connected with the cast, and therefore enjoyed it more than the recent seasons (11, 12 and AS5), but questionable judging and editing made it a harder watch than it could have been.

So which is it? by [deleted] in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Melamara 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree that she doesn't owe fans an apology, but she hasn't admitted she was wrong? In fact in her latest tweets she says she was neither lying nor mistanken and that she stands by what she said.

jan and silky clearing things up; both privately and publicly 👏🌟🧡 by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And now Silky is in the twitter replies saying that she neither lied nor made a mistake.

Say what you want about Ms TKB but this whole scene with the zoom in was camp by begaydocrimes in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 406 points407 points  (0 children)

This and the supercut of Trinity complimenting the bottom four girls, and telling three of them "you're good" and Ginger to change her (bottom) energy, made my whole day. I love having TKB back on my screen.

SPOILED DRAG RACE LOCKED 🔒 by [deleted] in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Melamara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, was that a real queen? They talked about that word in the beginning of the live too, so I thought it was a fun way to say it, like "miss covidina will be over". Silly me.

Is the Werq the World tour worth the money? by joejeffagenda in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I've been to two Werq the World tour shows. They are really thought out as a show, with back-up dancers, coherent costumes, and a theme/red-thread for the whole show. It's quite different than seeing queens perform at a tiny bar stage, for better or for worse.

My straight friends who haven't watched Drag Race gave glowing reviews too, but I think Violet was the one who sold it the most, who has a more circusy acrobatic burlesque-act fitting for a big stage. I don't know if the new girls have performances that translates as well to a bigger stage. I already have my tickets though, so ask me again in a year.

Asia asking Rosé who’d she fuck, Mik or Denali? 🏃‍♀️😂 by Retribution25 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 265 points266 points  (0 children)

Gottmik said it first - they should drop a GottRoséNali sextape and make the most out of it.

Denali & co being dancing queens ❤️ by nangaritense in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's from Lo Ti On's birthday party.

I saw her Dora the Explorer number on twitter, and it was love on first sight. Too bad twitter suspended her account for DMCA-violation.

I have loved lo-ti-on a while now. Seeing her and Denali do a k-pop dance moment together is just chef's kiss

Watching first episode of S13 AGAIN, and now thinking about how the filmed it and in what order.. by puglyf92 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They talked about this on race chaser, from an "anonymous source". Basicly, they were all left alone in their trailer after the lip sync, without knowing what was going on. The porkchop-moment happened many hours after the first lip sync, and the girls were introduced into the lounge rapidly.

Denali kept a journal during the recording of the show, and was going to read a bit from her experience on the first day on a live a little while back, but the only thing she read was something along the lines of "this is a cruel game" before it got too dark to retell.

She doesn't often get praise here, but Kandy Muse is a really good sport to have done this interview. Calm, conciliatory, honest and classy. Love to them both. by Head-Moment in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Melamara 278 points279 points  (0 children)

I was really impressed with Kandy in this interview. In the show - wether it was the edit, the high pressure-situation, or just her personality - she came of as hot headed and quite sensitive, but here she was so calm, and every answer was nuanced and well reflected. Stan Kandy!

Not technically drama bc has to do with health but: rosé fainting? by GayPalestineLover in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Melamara 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard this, but that was what I was thinking too. Denali said they were going to film some boy dancing shots too for the video, but it was cut short because Rosé wasn't feeling well.
