Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

So I'm pretty basic, but I do like trying unique cocktails at each bar I go to. But! Here are cocktails that I enjoy ordering at a bar that are not exclusives. Piña Colada Daiquiri Mojito Spiked hot cocoa Hot toddy Eggnog Irish coffee Gold Rush Tom Collins Pisco Sour Margarita Spiked hot cider Mint Julep Moscow Mule Espresso martini (Prompt by Eleanor Pratt) "Cocktail Shakers" by Robert Wallace .

I forgot to take notes on what was coming up this episode, so it'll be a surprise! Oh, a wild Ari appears Yes, Gino, let Jasmine go Gino and Jasmine are so sad Ari is right, this is a desolate place to camp Setting up a tent is good team building "Scorpions, snakes, and Natalie,"--Julia Ari if either way Bini hates you, it's time to let him go Group activity: find Jasmine Wow this area really is pretty Again, it bugs me that the chairs don't all match Group hypnosis...sure Lol Sophie peeked It's so difficult for me to take this seriously Isn't it vibrancy? I agree that kissing is cheating Next time Gino isn't open Next time Julia says her and Brandon's relationship is toxic Next time Jasmine is 100% right about Natalie and Josh's relationship Next time Sophie found something else on Rob's phone Can't wait!

Back in July of 2020, I cast 15 queens in my season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars , but there are many more deserving of another shot! Note that I am NOT including any previous winners and I pretty much have only watched the American iteration. Tatianna-maybe we should just count her as a winner though since the-queen-who-shall-not-be-named won season 2 Stacy Layne Matthews-I found her charming and they said she needed time to come into her own so perhaps she has! Roxxxy Andrews-she grew on me a lot and I wanted her to win her latest season Kenya Michaels-what a dancer! Laganja Estranja-she had the most epic entrance ever and is remembered more for her meltdowns so I say give her another go! Ginger Minj-I wanted her to win season 7 Cynthia Lee Fontaine-so charismatic! Peppermint-I adore her Asia O'Hara-if the butterflies hadn't died, maybe she would've won her season Shuga Cain-sweet as her name Crystal Methyd-quirky and oh so fun Olivia Lux-best smile ever Kornbread ...

Time for the third part of the tell all! Adnan remains rude Vanja is right, Adnan is irrelevant I do lean towards believing Vanja's version of events "He drove right up in there"--Niles SCREW YOU, JOSKO Oh, Vanja I love Niles being on Vanja's side You never loved her, Josko NO ONE ASKED YOU, BRIAN Lovin' Rory's dogs Loren, I don't believe you Oh, Faith Loren dumped on TV Next time we meet Brian's girlfriend (who looks young) Next time Loren cries (or tries to) Next time we get unseen footage of Joe at a pool party Next time maybe Veah and Sunny break up Next time Joe storms off? Next time looks good Can't wait! (Prompt by me) 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days , TLC.  Promotional image source .

Lately, I've been watching  The Traitors  and while I know some of the contestants, I thought it'd be fun if I got to cast the show, so here are 15 more possible contestants (you can  read my original casting here and read  my second try at casting here )! I tried to cast people from different shows, but there are times they overlap. I let myself get out of this by saying if I could credit them with a different show, then I'd do that so that way it SEEMS as though everyone is from a different show.  Karen Huger ( The Real Housewives of Potomac ) Brynn Whitfield  ( The Real Housewives of New York City ) Tai Trang ( Survivor ) Destin Pfaff ( Millionaire Matchmaker ) Kai Wes ( Are You the One? ) Vanessa Vanjie Mateo ( RuPaul's Drag Race ) Clare Dawkins ( The Bachelorette ) Faith Gatoc Tulod ( 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days ) Kenneth Niedermeier ( 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way ) Colton Scott Brown-Underwood ( The Bachelor ) Mariah Huq ( Married to Medicine )...

Time for a commercial acting challenge!  Joella...I think it's clear the other queens don't love you as much as they love Lucky I always love impressions Crystal as a tumbleweed is hilarious So far nothing has topped Crystal as a tumbleweed The leotard is too similar for Kori's Ruveal Oh, Lexi, I hate that you went through that Onya's artwork looks awesome Joella, I'm sorry you have experienced that I do not know this guest judge (which, to be clear, is a read on me) Lydia's look is a wow So I love how oclorful Lana's look is, but it is not my favorite Joella's look made me laugh (though I did expect a Ruveal) Arrietty looks badass Jewels is selling it Hormona's look is a great Dolly tribute Crystal is fabulous Suzie is the eye of Sauron??? LOVE IT So I like Sam's look, but I feel like we saw something similar on a previous season? Acacia looks great, but I want BIGGER (probably just apersonal preference though) Onya's look is divine Lexi...

Time for a party. I think Julia doesn't want to be intimate with Brandon Brandon, Julia wants you to make some effort I wonder how common "sand tray therapy" is Florian, did you never pray pretend with your friends? Is Stacey only 17 years older than Florian? Is it a difficult concept? The therapist acted so surprised when the couples followed basic instructions I feel for Sophie Sophie, you do need individual therapy as well Darcey told Florian that he should be single? WOW Brandon, did you just say that men have twice the brain for sex? Gino, let Jasmine go This is the weirdest party ever I think Julia did invite everyone What is this whistling, Florian? Where is Ari? (Prompt by me) 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort , TLC Promotional image source

Time for no big activity?  Natalie, you did interrupt So Julia can't have kids and Brandon says he needs kids I get Julia having the fear of Brandon leaving her Yes, go out...it went so well last time Okay Gino is asking for some pretty typical drinks Bini never cheated? Weren't there pictures of him kissing someone? Jasmine can lead I love that they're being hustled out of the bar I do think getting a second medical opinion is a good idea whenever news is that big Josh, like why are you here? I get that this isn't a fun activity for you, which is fine, but you are so resistant to like everything Wow watching Gino and Jasmine is so uncomfortable Dear god, Josh, just let Natalie go Next time Julia and Brandon get into the honeymoon suite Next time, Julia throws a party in the honeymoon suite and kisses Jasmine Next time the couples have to play with toys to tell a story Next time Brandon tells Natalie what Josh said Next time maybe Josh leaves?

Season premiere, part 2!              Oooh is a shomance brewing? I LOVE Ru's look Doechii is beyond beautiful Sam's look is cheeky The color Onya is wearing is divine on her Crystal's look is funny to me (in a good way!) Kori did a fun reference I like Lexi's look, but not so much for the challenge Hormona did Marie Antoinette...we've seen so much of that My god, Lana is beautiful I love the colors of Acacia's look, but it wasn't my favorite Arrietty's hair is my favorite part of her look Jewels is beautiful, but it's not a stand out outfit to me Joella also did Marie Antoinette... I like Lucky's style a lot I don't really connect with Lydia's look Suzie's transformation made me laugh out loud Okay I enjoyed Sam's performance Onya's song is so catchy Crystal can really dance For once, I'd like a comedy act to go well on a talent show (now it's not that Hormona is the worst we've seen, to be clear, but I think the ...

Season premiere!  Wow what an unhinged opening Lexi is giving showgirl and I'm here for it Joella banging her gong with her hair--j'adore Kori's hair is everything (also how cool that she is a visual artist as well!) Lydia has cool vibes but out of drag looks like a BABY Arrietty is funny right away Jewels is adorable Lana is GORGEOUS! Sam's look is fun Onya has a great laugh Suzie has very clear inspirations Hormona unfortunately reminds me of the queen who shall not be named Crystal has attitude and I love it Acacia does not have my favorite look, but gotta love being inspired by Dolly Lucky's look is awesome Jewels (I think? I'm still learning the queens) is sharing her trauma early...is she going home early? Lucky also sharing her trauma early... Ru's outfit has great movement I want Acacia to watch Hot Frosty Joella is gorgeous Jewels's look is lovely Arrietty's look is INCREDIBLE I really liked Lydia's look Lucky's look is so silly and ...

Of course people are cheating Wow Ari, it's almost like you and Bini are fundamentally incompatible Man, they all got really into this competition Okay this shows who I am as a person, but why don't all the chairs match?

Time for some endings (finally)? So Niles and Matilda finally had sex I guess Uhhh, we're here? EW A cake isn't going to fix things, Veah Okay, in what culture is it polite to inquire about a lady's weight, Sunny's dad (whose name I don't know)? Oop Magda asked specifically if Joe had a past with his friends? Telling someone they aren't motherly is HARSH, Josko Oop I do suspect Adnan of being shady Sunny's dad is a jerk Oh I want to hug Matilda Oh look, Joe knows her name Joe, you're a grown-ass man...you don't know how to fold clothes? Joe...you don't know which airline you're flying??? Magda, I'm mostly on your side, but it was your choice to quit your job prior to a proposal Vanja, he's just not that into you I guess Veah and Sunny are really in it, huh?
