Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race season 18, episode 1

Season premiere!

  1. Remember when Ru and the judges didn't like fart jokes?
  2. Athena looks divine (if you will lol)
  3. I don't get this lighting choice
  4. Wait, why is Plane Jane just "technically" Athena's daughter
  5. Kenya has a great name and is so cute in and out of drag
  6. I quite enjoy Nini's entrance look
  7. Jane does have a kind of Jinkx look
  8. Discord's look is a lot, but that seems to have been done with artistic intentionality
  9. Mia is stunning
  10. Damn, Mia has like made it as a dancer
  11. DD's outfit reminds me of those coyote-safe vests (but make it fashion)
  12. Okay, I do love that there are so many queens over 30, but please stop suggesting that's old
  13. Did...Juicy make an OJ reference?
  14. Either way, she looks fantastic
  15. Vita is beautiful in drag and so handsome out of drag
  16. Briar is so cute
  17. So...Briar is the season's villain, yes?
  18. Also, it's looking like Athena is the season's narrator
  19. Is Mandy making a Pokémon reference?
  20. I love that Mandy is a nurse
  21. Okay, so far, Ciara's look is my favorite
  22. So, I love that Darlene has leaned into the corn theme, but it is a bit confusing that she is now in LA
  23. Hilarious that Darlene used to go by Trash
  24. Myki is adorable
  25. Five queens from Florida is quite a lot
  26. Okay, what is this cane thing Ru is holding? (we never see it used in this shoot)
  27. I am laughing to myself about the audition for the background actors in this shoot ("Yeah, uh, we need you to strip to your underwear and dance while wearing a mask as a drag queen screams. Whenever you're ready")
  28. OMG Ru does not even know Alyssa Edwards's name
  29. I do like Kenya so far, so I'm happy she won the mini-challenge
  30. A classic unconventional materials design challenge is afoot!
  31. Athena did the smart thing and took some sewing classes, well done!
  32. Okay, Kenya, you should've grabbed something more fabric-esque
  33. Wait, was Briar supposed to make gloves for Athena?
  34. I know what Kenya means, but like...convenience stores DO buy plastic bags
  35. Cardi B's looks is pretty cool
  36. Ciara's look is awesome
  37. Athena looks cute!
  38. I do love the sparkle of Kenya's look, but, as she said, it's not the best constructed
  39. Nini's look is incredible
  40. Jane's outfit looks SO professional
  41. Discord's outfit has engaging movement
  42. Mia's look reminds me of Kenya's (though it looks like it has better construction
  43. Okay...DD's look is just not my favorite
  44. Juicy looks adorable, but I feel like some of it is missing?
  45. Vita's look is impeccable
  46. Briar's look is fun!
  47. I see where Mandy was going, but I'm not sure she got there
  48. Darlene's look also isn't my favorite, but it looks well-made
  49. Myki's dress's bust is probably my favorite part of her look
  50. Honestly, DD being safe feels off to me
  51. Cardi B saying she'd wear Nini's look outside is so funny
  52. Aw, Jane
  53. Mandy, if you're a nurse and in grad school, was now the time to come on the show?
  54. Wait what is this pink teddy bear in the untucked lounge?
  55. I love that Cardi and her glam squad are kind of in Powerpuff Girls outfits
  56. Uhhh, Discord, a) Cardi is only one judge and b) Cardi DID say she'd wear Nini's outfit
  57. I'm glad Kenya and Mandy are both saved, they seem sweet
  58. So not that Nini is doing poorly, but I'm more impressed with Vita because I think her outfit is more restrictive (but I guess Nini won)
  59. Glad to see a register to vote reminder
  60. Next time is a girl group challenge!

(Prompt by me)

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...
