Hello people of the internet! How the hell are you? Today is the start of something very, very exciting. This is the first post on my blog dedicated to one of my favorite things in the world.... That's right.. you guessed it! RuPaul's Drag Race. Season 9 is starting on Friday (March 24) on VH1 (Or if you're me, youtube the next day). #ThisIsNotAnAd And, I could not be more excited. I'm a drag race super fan at this point. RuPaul's Drag Race is my go-to show. It's pretty much always on in the background or I'm always talking about it (poor Dan). So, this year I decided to cover the full season on my blog. But, I'll talk about that more in a minute.
I've never really seen a tag for Drag Race before. So, I decided to kind of make one up myself. While I was writing this I did come across one from 2014. Some of the questions I picked came from there as well. So with out further ado... let's get started!
Gentlemen, start your engines and may the best woman win!
Favorite Season
I definitely think it's a tie between season 6 and 8. I think season six is an immediate favorite because of queens like Adore Delano and Bianca Del Rio. Season eight was kind of life changing for me, though. I woke up early the day after each episode aired to make sure I could watch it on youtube before it was taken down. And, I've seen all of season eight at least four times all the way through. Hmmm.. All Stars 2 might even take the crown for best season. Even though it's technically a spin-off.
Favorite RuPaul Song?
Sissy That Walk (Now available on iTunes)
Favorite Drag Queen
Okay so out of all of the 100 drag queens to walk into the Werk room (I can't really count any of the season 9 girls just yet) I would have to say Katya Zamolodchikova. She stole the show for me in season 7. I actually cried when she was kicked off (I'll never listen to Katy Perry's "Roar" again). If you liked her in Drag Race (and All Stars 2) You should definitely check out her series with Trixie Mattel, another one of my favs, UNHhhh! She's my absolute favorite Russian, Bisexual, Transestive Hooker.
Favorite Maxi Challenge
Hands down episode 2 of season 8! The Bitch Perfect literally blew my flippn mind. It made me realize that the girls on season eight were no joke and the best of the best. Watch it down below and enjoy having the medly of RuPaul songs stuck in your head for week!
Have you ever seen any Ru-Girls live?
I have! Last summer I was some how lucky enough to interview Chi Chi DeVayne at a local show. And, in the same week, I also saw the *spoiler* reigning queen Bob The Drag Queen and Laila McQueen!
Favorite Drag Race Winner
Bob The Drag Queen! Even though is was super obvious she was going to win from day one, she's still my favorite!
Most Robbed Queen
Katya.... Between season 7 and All Stars 2, I'm heartbroken for her. Even though I love Alaska to bit... I still think Katya should have won!
Best Fight?
It's a tie between Phi Phi O'Hara's (rolls eyes) and Sharon Needles' iconic "Party City Brawl" and the bone-chilling showdown between RuPaul himself and Pearl (Is there something on my face?).
Biggest Shock?
Alaska picking Roxxy Andrews over Tatianna in All Stars 2. All T, all shade... How the sweet f**k did Roxxy make it as far as she did? HOW!?
Most Underrated Runway Look?
Season 7 episode three, the girls had to create a bearded runway look. I've literally never heard anyone talk about how amazing Trixie Mattel looks. She looks like some great biblical creature come to life off of a painting in a church. LOOK AT HER!
Last but not least, what's your favorite lip sync?
Adore Delano vs. Trinity K. Bonet to the song Vibeology by Paula Abdul. The chemistry between the two of them on stage was electric. The downside is that Trinity went home and she was always one of my low-key favorites!

So, as I was saying at the start of this post.. This is the first of many posts. I've decided to cover every episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 9 on my blog. I'll be talking about all of my favorite things from each episode. I think I might stick to doing these posts on Wednesday so you all have to time to watch the current week's episode! I might even recreate my favorite makeup look from each week! Excited? I am!

Oh I absolutely loved this tag! There are so many that I was just nodding my head along to. I love that LipSync between Adore and Trinity, it was so sexy and sultry, and I have a real soft spot for Trinity as I think she came a long way from not being confident and Bianca's mothering of her was lovely too. Katya is always a favourite, she's just completely original and while I adore Alaska, I was shocked when she sent Tatiana home, as I thought Tatiana was doing amazingly, as much as I love Roxxxy too, I was sure Alaska would pick her - ah, but then that's what makes it exciting! I think Season 6 is always one of my favourites, but Season 4 always makes me laugh too - I adore Willam and Sharon and Latrice, but then Season 5 brought us Jinkx and Alaska too, so it's so hard to pick! Such a brilliant tag though, loved your answers. - Tasha
