And then there were three. This week the queens began with the puppet bitchery mini challenge. Jinkx and Alaska were both very funny. Detox was so-so, and Roxxxy was no-no. This kind of challenge requires a sense of humor, and Roxxxy doesn’t really have one — she’s too invested in being cruel. Continue reading

The queens are all sad to see Ivy go, but none as much as Jinkx, who had formed a special bond with her. Srsly, we’re going to need an update on that unrequited crush thing when the reunion airs. Alyssa says if she has to lip sync all the way to the finale, she’ll do what she has to do. The other queens don’t like that she is not acknowledging that the challenges are important. Jinkx speaks up once more to defend herself blahblah comedy queen blahblah pageant queen. I know I’m not the only one tired of them playing that tune over and over again. Continue reading
This post was originally run last year. In honor of Groundhog’s Today, we’re bringing it back.
Friends, I need to talk to you about something very important. For today is Groundhog Day, and I cannot stand by another year without speaking up on behalf of these corpulent woodland creatures.

Maybe this is in poor taste, but then maybe not–the holiday isn’t actually until tomorrow. What do Americans do on this long holiday weekend, the unofficial beginning of summer? They barbecue and drink too much. And, I’m hoping, dance a little too. Continue reading
(POST UPDATED)
It started six days ago when Brooklyn band Here We Go Magic recognized a hitchhiker on Interstate 70 in Ohio. That hitchhiker was cult filmmaker John Waters. The band picked him up and documented their time with him in tweets and instagram photos before “tearfully leaving [him] on the side of the highway” in Indiana. Continue reading
I was writing out my Mother’s Day card, and suddenly I was thinking back to Mother’s Day 2004. That year, I took mom to see Kill Bill: Vol. 2 at the movie theater. She loved it (she had already seen and enjoyed Vol. 1). My mother’s taste in movies is probably not typical for a lady her age–she has adventurous taste. Although it might seem like an odd choice for the holiday (murder, revenge, kungfu), one of Kill Bill‘s major themes (especially in Vol. 2 is motherhood. Continue reading
