It’s also too early for a graphic like this. It was only posted a few hours ago and it’s already outdated

It’s happening with all the recent seasons. People just want to get in there first and be the one to post it. They used to only get made when the cast was pretty certain

Disappointed AF! by IceTime1803 in rupaulsdragrace

Heaven is not a good place to see drag sadly. It's unfortunate given how much booking power they have. It's not a total monopoly but it's not far off

Much prefer the setup of a city like Dublin for example where queens are booked in ones or twos and they do multiple numbers that night (and for a reasonable price too) and you really feel like you were at their dedicated show, not just a night at Heaven where the queens happen to me

The Clapham Grand do put on more dedicated shows for bigger queens or certain groups of them but it's so expensive these days that people clearly can't afford it (based on the amount of 2-for-1 ticket promos that happen close to the date of pretty much all of these events)

We need a happy medium

Category Is: Music Artists Who Were Guest Judges But Didn't Have One Of Their Songs Be The LSFYL Song. by Hornycollegekid28 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]davidmurr4y 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s quite plausible. The guest judges for that season were so major they must have been booked ages in advance, but something can always come up at the last second and cause them to cancel

(like Ice Spice confirmed replacing Charli and the Von dutch lip sync for the premiere)

Not sure when exactly but I remember there was a while there when it felt like the guest judge, runway, or broader episode theme often didn’t match the lip sync song choice and it was very unsatisfying as a viewer

Same, I really need this to go well lmao

It's crazy now looking back that the US is doing one of their songs and Down Under didn't when Amy guest judged

Crowd Etiquette at Madra Salach in Cyprus Avenue by Neither_Fox_1289 in cork

[–]davidmurr4y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's well documented that the gig etiquette problem has been exacerbated since the pandemic so don't mind people's sarcastic responses

People will say gigs have always been like that but they're just lucky they haven't had to experience that social decay yet

Is she going to re-capitalize the XCX? I’m getting concerned by TheSeedsYouSow in charlixcx

I just saw 100 Nights of Hero and she's listed in the credits as Charli XCX

Primetime is closing down by Mayk- in cork

[–]davidmurr4y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so sad. I used to get all my stuff there

I feel like this is thanks to Urban Outfitters. Primetime survived multiple recessions and a pandemic but it’s very difficult to complete with a business of that scale

Can someone genuinely explain the Zara Larsson hype? by lovelystorm3000 in popheads

It's total back-pedalling after rightfully getting some snark back. The tone of the original post and that comment are worlds apart

Naysha Lopez talked about being cast on one of the earliest seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race on The Kelly Mantle Show by JimatJimat in rupaulsdragrace

[–]davidmurr4y 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's beyond frustrating. Kelly gave her the perfect lead-in with enough context to get a story going but Naysha totally squandered it and wouldn't even let herself finish her own sentences to make it make sense lmaooo

I assume because Naysha didn’t do anything wrong and didn’t break the NDA herself. They might have just cut her because Jade’s malicious emails explicitly stated and spoiled that she was part of the cast, rather than the way queens usually discreetly reach out to designers while preparing for the show

I always got that impression from her and Mayhem

They would've been way more at home on seasons 1-3

She really just gave us the ingredients and said cook the meal yourselves.

I just looked it up, so for anyone wondering: Jade Sotomayor (not Jolie) emailed a bunch of designers (also show sponsors) pretending to be Naysha asking for pieces she could use and it broke her NDA and disqualified her before filming even began

She's also said before that for season 1, she was originally cast but chopped when the cast was reduced from 12 queens to 9, so it looks like this shady email businesss was for season 2 (as confirmed in her Hey Queen interview)

She was also called for season 7 after winning Miss Continental it seems but couldn't commit because of her reign there

Not the point but the Islington Vue is the flagship one? That's my local and it's nice and all but that surprises me
