I heard the rumors of sugar and spice being cast on s15 just like else and it just kinda depressed me
Don’t get me wrong, I LIVE for them. I’ve followed them for a while now. They’re very entertaining on TikTok.
But their casting just feels…..icky.
It feels like there are so so so many seasoned, talented performers who don’t have the platform they have, but it doesn’t matter
Sugar and spice have the following
Also, they’ve openly said they don’t do gigs and are just “princesses” that stand there and look pretty. Compare that to say Izzy Uncut, A queen with a huge following that is well.. a working girl, not just a queen who panders to a straight audience
Part of what made drag race so so special to me is the fact that art it’s core, it’s for queer people. Queens like (most recently) cheddar gorgeous are a big inspiration to me as a walking piece of queer art. Yes, drag race is more diluted now for a wider audience, but at its sole it’s still for the queens and queers.
Sugar and spice feel like they’re not for the gays, they’re for the straights.
And this just disheartened me because automatically I’m doubtful about the authenticity of this season. Even in the meet the queens, the twins were performing (which I know is the point) a character, not giving us an interview with the artist about the art. It already feels manufactured.
Don’t mistake me, I’m so so so SO excited to watch this season. This is the first one I’ll be able to watch live since the switch to MTV. But I’m cautious about the quality.
Midnights is a wild ride of an album and I couldn’t be happier that my co pilot on this adventure was Jack Antonoff. He’s my friend for life (presumptuous I know but I stand by it) and we’ve been making music together for nearly a decade HOWEVER… this is our first album we’ve done with just the two of us as main collaborators. We’d been toying with ideas and had written a few things we loved, but Midnights actually really coalesced and flowed out of us when our partners (both actors) did a film together in Panama. Jack and I found ourselves back in New York, alone, recording every night, staying up late and exploring old memories and midnights past. We were so lucky to also work with our brilliant collaborators Sam Dew, Sounwave, Lana Del Rey, Jahaan Sweet, Keanu Beats, William Bowery, and Zoe Kravitz. Laura Sisk was our excellent engineer. The wonderful and wise Beth Garrabrant took the album photographs. Midnights is a collage of intensity, highs and lows and ebbs and flows. Life can be dark, starry, cloudy, terrifying, electrifying, hot, cold, romantic or lonely. Just like Midnights. Which is out now
The thing that gets me is the fact that both that song and grow a pair are like real homophobic and now Katy and Kesha are reeeeeally gay just shows that every kid that went through an internalized homophobia phase turns out flamingly fruity & in a music video about witches kissing or for a weed drink with Hayley kiyoko and Kerri colby
❤️🔥it do get better ❤️🔥
sometimes i remember that this was katy perrys debut song
Whatever the gender is where I want men to know that I’m more masculine than they’ll ever be but also be like the ultimate womana with ridiculous amounts of estrogen just flowing out of my nipples in waves that just make all the men quake in fear and remember the aforementioned fact that my dick is also huge
I love the fact that 99.9% of the funky words I know come from fanfic. Like I just found out what an amalgamate was. Why are y’all smarter than everyone else damn
