As you may know, I've basically handled my pain over losing the cats by obsessively watching makeup tutorials and stuff about drag queens. I think my favorite Youtube show right now is Transformations with James St. James because it combines both of these obsessions. Usually, everyone who comes on IS a drag queen and they put makeup on James. It's excellent.
While James does have a lot of RPDR queens on the show, he also looks for up and coming talent and I like that because it's given me a chance to see new talent. There are quite a few people I hope will be on Drag Race in the next few years. Right now I think some of them are too young (you have to be 21) but in a way, that's good because it will give them more time to hone their talents.
I love that the show is inspiring more and more people to see this as a viable profession. It expands and evolves the artform. It's also ensuring that it won't disappear and I'm glad of that. The world needs drag.
