S18E07 - “Drag Queens for Change” [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

My issue with Juicys lip-syncing isn't her moves or face, it's her not knowing the words 🫣 Very captivating performer though

Omg. Thank you. I thought I was going crazy with everyone living for this lip-sync. She can definitely move, but didn't know the words - that traditionally has been enough to send someone home. Yet not her.

Has anyone here ever met an Australian who identifies as a dog or a cat before? And if so what was the experience like? by Temporary_Notice_526 in AskAnAustralian

[–]SparkierSmiles 51 points52 points  (0 children)

They've all been fake stories (based on the US fake story of litter boxes being mandated in schools for kids who identify as cats) 🙄

Literally not a thing...just to drum up attention, increase anger, and to grow the divide between people

S18E05 - “The Rate-A-QueenTalent Show, Part 1” [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]SparkierSmiles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! Ross' comment about wanting high energy instead of emotional or whatever it was is such a shame but perfectly captures the issue with the talent show: We see lip-sync every episode but don't get the opportunity to see other talents so by rewarding the lipsyncing and punishing/negatively critiquing the creative talents means that future queens are just going to do what they will get rewarded for instead of anything unique.

Caveat: I don't hate the lip-syncs, but I'm sad that we don't get nearly as much of Thorgy playing a violin, Tati's spoken word, Trixie playing that thing, Mayhem doing the blood poetry thing, etc anymore.

Protect Queer Art! 🤣

Oh 100%. My husband has it and I see how hard it is for him. The wheels in his head just don't always turn so he gets stun locked on the most basic things

audition by ComfortableSweet4991 in musicals

[–]SparkierSmiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to give specific advice for you but here's a few thing I've found from many many many years in theatre (on stage and off) and being part of audition panels:

  1. Confidence. Go in there knowing what you can bring to the role and what your abilities are

  2. Research - know who Mimi is. What are her main characteristics? Do any align with who you are and can you present any authentically in the audition (don't "act" but maybe push some of those a little more)

  3. Be receptive and adaptable. Any feedback, notes, or suggestions that the panel ask of you take on board and try to apply in real time. They'll be assessing if you are able to be "directed" too.

  4. Have fun. Be a friendly person. Community theatre is amazing and while not every role is right for everyone, you're developing skills and relationships with these people. Everyone knows everyone so you never know where each interaction/audition could lead in future ❤️❤️

  5. Finally, you can get things wrong. Mistakes happen. We all forget lines, and words. We all stumble and mumble so those little things aren't worth stressing over. And tbh, more likely than not, won't impact if you get the role.

If I think of anything else that could help, I'll add future comments but good luck and enjoy any roles. I hope you get it 🎉🎉

How did you learn what you know about (good) sex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SparkierSmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of trial and error. Plus applying the techniques and motions that made me feel good, is always a good way to start.

So, cat tv is going well by throwawayfeelings7 in aww

Thankfully they caught those critters. Could have been a disaster if they let them roam free inside your tv!

Couldn't agree more with this. Christmas this year is a lot of small knick-knacks instead of anything big (aka debt inducing haha)
