Kind of a Drag

It looks like Rupaul’s Drag Race is off to a bad start already.  The top vote-getters seem to have discovered a way to subvert the online voting process.  It’s probably just as easy as cleaning out your cache and deleting your browser’s cookies in between every vote you make for yourself.  Nothing else can really explain the discrepancy between the leaders and other top vote-getters, like the demure Raya Light.  How could such a sweet, delicate flower like Raya not be winning the race?  It defies all logic.

Raya also posted a blog entry on her profile to comment on how fishy it is to see such a wide gap in the total votes between the front runners and the also-rans.  The only fishy thing I want to see in this contest is Holy McGrail!  The only wide gap I want to hear about is the one between her . . . oh, never mind.  You get my point, don’t you?

In her blog, Raya also suggests that only registered voters be able to vote in the subsequent casting rounds.  That’s a wonderful idea.  I was voting as an unregistered voter earlier in the competition, but I grew weary of filling out those annoying Captchas.  Still, I’ve got to give credit where credit is due.  To those girls who are leading the race by voting for themselves, your tolerance for mind-numbing mediocrity is a lot higher than mine.  I applaud your tenacity, even if it isn’t going to get you anywhere.

RuPaul’s Drag Race

After a couple of consecutive season finales of America’s Next Top Model that can only be described as tragic, I was delighted to learn that RuPaul’s Drag Race is currently casting.  While the details of the show are currently up-in-the-air, it sounds a lot like ANTM, only with girls who don’t need training wheels.  It’s going to be fabulous!

If you visit the site, you can click through the profiles of several contestants, including the unsinkable Tammie Brown, above, whose understated elegance leaves me wanting more!  Any girl who spells Tammie with an I and an E is okay with me, too.  Just don’t spell it with a Y or I’ll kick you in the box.
