Sharon Needles visits Atlanta

Last night!  Oh my lawd last night was so much fun!!  At first I wasn't sure what to expect with all the protest talk and all that but I didn't see a single protester.  I guess they must have showed up later since Sharon kept saying they were out there.  Either way - last night was AMAZING!  I love a good drag show and last night's did NOT disappoint.  I mean how could it?  Phoenix was there.  Nicole Paige Brooks was there.  Savannah Leigh was there.  One of my most FAVOURITE performers Envy Van Micheals was there (Love her so much!!!).  And, of course, Sharon fucking Needles was there.
I'll let my photos explain the rest but I'll also let my photos state my case for a new camera since I can't get it to behave EVER.  Ugh...

Pardon me while I get all glammed up...

 



I was told to pose so this was the best I could come up with so excuse the crazy look on my face! Sharon was an absolute doll and I'm glad I stuck around to meet her! She was great! I couldn't think of anything clever to say so I said, "Sharon, you're so awesome" to which she said, "Well, that's debatable". I told her she was the best part of her season of Drag Race and that she was the future of drag. She was lovely and amazing up close and I'm so happy that I was able to experience her.  Thanks for a wonderful night, ladies!

Check out more photos here!  And if I find anymore, I'll be sure to post them or direct you to them.  Enjoy!

Friday Fun with Sharon Needles (merch)

I did it.  I don't know why it took me so long but I finally did it.

Maybe it's because I didn't know they were out yet.

Maybe it's because I'm lazy.

Maybe it's because I don't keep up with social media like I should.

It could be a lot of things.

Either way, I did it.

It started with Googling Sharon Needles and Alaska.  I couldn't remember Alaska's full name!  And as soon as I saw it, how could I forget?!  Alaska Thunderfuck.  Of course!

The reason I was Googling those two was because RuPaul asked Sharon about Alaska on the finale of Drag Race and I guess I was feeling kinda bummed out for Sharon for thinking that Alaska would get all jealous because Sharon made it to the show and she didn't.  But with a name like Thunderfuck, I'm guessing there were some reservations about having her on the show.  
I've never seen Alaska perform but I LOVE her website.  And she's GORGEOUS!!  I'd love to see her come through Atlanta and perform!  That would be so great!

So - after I was fawning over Sharon and Alaska together, I remembered something: wasn't Sharon supposed to have some "I ran into Sharon Needles at Party City" shirts available or something?  I remember seeing something in March on her Facebook page...I guess I never really remembered to check - UNTIL NOW.

Yes, they're for sale HERE and yes, I ordered one.  Of course I did!  If I had thought about it before, I would've had it here in time for Monday's reunion show where the winner will be revealed!  I'm already tweeting my little heart out in Sharon's defense.  Are you?! 

Let's hope she gets crowned and that the Drag Race Tour will hit up Atlanta very VERY soon!

Monday Night TV

Since Monday is our Game of Thrones day, I noticed something last night.  Renley Baratheon is the total hipster king.  I mean, look at that beard!

   

Don't get me wrong - he's dreamy and all (in a Brandon Flowers kinda way) but what makes him cuter? His boyfriend



Precious!  If you didn't know that about Renley, sorry!  It was a major surprise to us too since we don't read the books (yet).  But since there's been a whole lotta boobs coming out this season, I'm hoping there's a whole lotta Renley and his BF for us ladies who like that kind of thing...You know - two cute boys making out.  GET IT.

And since TV was full of repeats last night, I decided to start my super ultra mega catch up on RuPaul's Drag Race since it's down to the final 3.  And while I LOVE Sharon Needles, Michelle Visage is my style icon.   Girl.  GURL.  GURRRRRL



DAMN.  Her boobs are always on point and she ALWAYS looks good.  Case in point: her outfit during the "Frock the Vote" judging panel.  GIRL.


LOVE!!  I hope to be able to be all titties out (against Joanna Coles' wishes) by the time summer comes around that way I  can say "I'm bringing Michelle Visage realness" when I wear my pink jeans and these shoes


And get my hair to behave like this


And I hope I can get my boobies to behave like hers.  Not gonna lie - I'm sure there's a whole lotta padding and tape involved to get that kind of perfection.
I'll just say it - I want to be just like Mama Visage.  There.  That was easy.

But that means I really need to find myself a Drag Mother to help me out in the makeup department.  I mean, I'm no stranger around the makeup case but I really need help in the falsies and the contouring department.  Yes, I'm terrible at applying falsies on my own but I always seem to get them on right if I'm doing makeup around other ladies (mainly my sisters)

Example 1: The Mermaid Parade last year (with my step-sister in New York)
Example 2: Pride last year (I applied my makeup at Oni's place before we headed to Piedmont Park):


And wouldn't you believe it - it's the same pair of lashes both times! HA!

I was able to do a Barbie pair a few years back on Valentine's but that was under the strict supervision of Lady LaLa and Oni.  I don't know what it is but when I tried to apply my Barbie lashes for my Mom's birthday dinner, I had the WORST time.  I'll get the hang of it soon enough.  Practice makes perfect!

How was your Monday?

OMG Shoes

After seeing these Starla sandals on Refinery 29's Instagram feed yesterday, I knew I was in love! I went on a frantic search all over the interwebz to find them.
Initially I thought they just came in gold

Which is fine by me because I'm trying to break away from the black-goes-with-errrything accessory rule I've given myself but sweet, sweet baby Jesus - they come in black!

At $175, they might sound like a steal to some but for me, that's quite a lot for some sandals but I might dip into my secret allowance stash for these babies because they are FIERCE.

- OR -

I could save my allowance $$$ for what I TRULY want: RuPaul's Drag Race for Iron Fist shoes!!

Giiiiiiiiirl



GUUUUUUURL


I could totally see Lady LaLa in these!

DAAAAAAMMMMNNNNN



And there are many MANY more to come because Jiggly wore some for her Dragazine shoot that aren't featured in the Comming Soon section of the site.  I can't wait to see the whole collection because you know it's going to be sickening!  Decisions decisions!

Drag Race Season 4 catch up - Sharon Needles is MY QUEEN

Since I'm feeling so far behind on all the drama I've been seeing on the Twitter-machine about RuPaul's Dragrace season 4, I decided it was time...time to hop on over to logotv.com and catch up (finally!). Usually VH1 will air the latest episode the day after it airs on Logo but they're slipping this time, boo. Lamesters.
I had kind of seen which queens were on this season but I hadn't seen all of them - I only paid attention to the Puerto Rican girls (Boriqua represent!) and...that was pretty much it so I never really saw anyone else.  That was my bad too because having seen the first 5 episodes, I have determined that Sharon Needles is MY QUEEN.
 
She is so F A B U L O U S and I can't say it enough!  And she's cute as a guy too!  WHAT!!!
I don't even know what else to say about her except when Phi Phi O'Hara was all "Go back to Party City where you belong!" all I wanted to do was cut Phi Phi right in her face.  Sharon is right girl, she IS the future of drag.
What I really can't wait for is the Snatch Game because I know Sharon was Michelle Visage and I'm pretty sure she was flawless

I mean, come on.

And we all know Chad was a flawless Cher of course

I seriously stared at this gif really hard for a very long time to make sure it was Chad in there.  CRAZY.

But let's talk about Willam for a moment.  He was all "Blah blah I've been on TV blah blah" and I was like "Where, bitch?  Where have I seen you?"  I iMDb'd that girl and saw that she was on a few episodes of my favourite trash show Nip/Tuck as the tranny that gets beat half to death and I thought the same thing about Willam then as I do now: Girl, you look like a boy who just slapped a wig on your head.  Yes, I thought she was a terrible tranny on Nip/Tuck and my opinion has not really changed.  Sure she's won a challenge or something (the mug shot one at least) but dammit - I think her game needs to be tighter.  Like I'm the expert - and that's exactly my point.  I'm no expert in the drag game but even I know Willam's look is a little "meh".

And since I'm no expert in the world of drag, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to attend a drag makeup master class.  Seriously.  I met this kid at Jungle last year who told me he wanted to convince his friend (who was not in attendance) to teach drag makeup classes and I said sign me up!  But alas, I haven't heard anything.  Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.  My aunt said to look into talking to the M.A.C. artists but I would only visit the M.A.C. counters of New York or do some research here in Atlanta.  My ideal drag makeup teacher would be Raquel Reed.  I love her.  I adore her.  I think she's ultra fabulous in every singe way possible.  And I think she would be the best one for makeup lessons since...well, she's a real girl and she would be able to help me channel my girliness and keep my makeup to a possible everyday drag look.  She inspired me to have blue hair and now she's making me want to go back to red territory

But seriously though.  Her makeup is always on point and I would love for her to teach me her ways.

I can't wait to get all caught up with the Drag Race girls - especially on that Snatch Game!  I know it's going to be hilarious!
