Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10, episode 8

Time for a singing challenge for bracket three!  So everyone gave a point to their partner A Clueless photoshoot...sure Okay this was more fun than I thought it'd be Group vs. group drama is potent Orville Peck seems great Alyssa just going for it Lol the Mud Flaps are bitter Bettys I really like the Mud Flaps's song and boy can Ginger sing! The chorus for the Whiskey Chicks is great, but what is Denali's outfit (though her lyrics are awesome)? Acid Betty looks fantastic (though it's funny that she thinks this is a reserved look) Alyssa looks great Denali looks so good and has a sense of humor Cynthia's look is bold, but it's not my favorite Daya looks pretty sexy Ginger, not sure you look hip and cool, but you do look good! Ginger won that for me And Ru agrees! Next time is an unhinged fake reality dating show Next time there is some drama Can't wait!

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé season 11, episode 18

Time for some more weddings? Stevi does have a nice dress Oop Amani, you shouldn't shame Any for being a stripper I would be so annoyed with Juan Mark's son is a cutie Well I'm glad Shawn's mom didn't break her hip, but it still sounds rough I still don't like Shawn Oh, Stevi did a nice thing Huh I wonder why Stevi's dad thought she was a lesbian Jessica is making a thoughtful gesture I have to admit, Shekinah and Sarper had a vision and went for it (and I think they accomplished their vision) How in the world did they find this officiant and explain the situation? Okay, do we have to be here for the stripping? Aw Maria is so cute I do appreciate that Mark's father is walking Mina down the aisle Mark and Mina's wedding might be the prettiest in 90 Day  history Did Mina's hair fall Mark, please call Mina a woman, not a girl Okay, maybe Jordan is warming up (or not) With Stevi's dad saying he thought she was done with surprises, I wonder if she...

Time for a witchy design challenge for bracket three!  It's great to see Denali I feel like I didn't like Acid Betty for some reason...but I don't remember Alyssa is beautiful I love Cynthia I remember liking Daya I love Ginger Oooh some picking drama The Bettys are popular Did Denali crack it or was it not a surprise? Omg Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are so tiny Aw, Ginger I'm not a huge fan of Ru's look Ginger's look is not for me Daya looks great Cynthia's look needs to fit better I think Alyssa looks good That star looks janky AF Denali and Acid look the best (IMO) Daya and Ginger win?

A letter from Rivulet Brook, #2

So with the blessing of my DM, I am going to be writing letters home from my D&D character Rivulet Brook. Here is the second one! You can read Rivulet's first letter here . Dear Kyrie, It feels as though I left Goa just yesterday and also ages ago. I hope to be back in Goa some day, but if not, I'm sure the gods will ensure that our paths cross once again. I write to you from an oases in a dangerous place. I will tell you the story in full sometime, but I must get rest for I face a test of Melora tomorrow. Do not fear, I am also writing to Priestess Titalia as well. I miss you dearly, but I also wanted to write to you about a group we encountered called The Children of Sunfire. Have you heard of them? They are followers of Pelor but there is a sinister edge to how their leader speaks especially in regards to burning. We traveled with them briefly and I fear they were lost in either a dust storm or to a gigantic creature. Yet I know their leader was magical so perhaps he, or...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé season 11, episode 17

15 things that signal to me that summer is almost here

I can't believe how late in the year we are.  Days are long My windows are often open People's schedules fill up I wear my sunglasses longer and more frequently Good mangoes hit the stores Patio seating becomes reasonable Outdoor markets start filling up my calendar I get more and more tempted to switch my wardrobe I feel more guilty about not putting on sunscreen every day My mood improves (sunshine helps a lot) Rain doesn't make me cold to my bones I begin to wonder when exactly it's hot enough for an air conditioner Dresses become more common in my wardrobe I dig out my sandals Ankle socks become my go-to when not wearing my sandals  (Prompt by Eleanor Pratt) Photo by Raphaël Biscaldi on Unsplash

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10, episode 6

Time for a Rusical challenge for bracket two! Oop Tina is pissed Rusical challenge! My god is Kerri beautiful Isn't Tina's character meant to be butch? Mistres, you were a mess with choreo too I LOVE Ru's look in the opening dance number The Rusical was fun Nicole's look is funny Tina's look is a whoa Kerri's look is a fantasy So Mistress looks great, but yeah it's too Tina for me Lydia's look is a HOLY SHIT Jorgeous's look is beautiful, but the color isn't quite right for a western I think HOW WAS KERRI NOT IN THE TOP?! I do not like Lydia's lip sync look (the wig Ruveal was very much needed) Yeah Jorgeous should win Of course Mistress didn't give Kerri her point Next time is bracket three!

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Hunt for Love season 1, episode 2

Don't know what's to come on this episode because we got a season preview last week. What is this opening montage? Okay, yeah, Usman's song isn't good, but you gave him like 2 seconds to come up with it Chantel has like no game Courtney also has no game Chad is a nice guy for bailing her out Okay but Chad also has no game Omg how long has this hot tub speed dating been going on??? Tim and Jennifer, you had to know the show would force you together Oop Colt is failing Get it, Tiffany Tim looks so physically uncomfortable Wait, Elise, what is deep about your connection with Rob? How is Jennifer so low ranked? Rob...you didn't even rate Jennifer higher? Jennifer is a Greek goddess? I do not see chemistry between Courtney and Usman Courtney does not know what a fluffer is Next time Colt has a weird pillow Next time Colt thinks he has game Next time Colt is going to ask someone out (maybe Courtney) Next time Courtney is into Rocky Next time peple are fighting over Jennif...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé season 11, episode 16

Time for some weddings? I do worry about Any's family's reaction to her being in a throuple with a married couple Alliya, I hope you read this prenup first Alliya is doing a 1 hour dance number??? Oh, dear! I hope Shawn's mom is okay! Sarper's family is on board with weighing Shekinah? I totally forgot Sarper was married before I have trouble believing Sarper Aw Juan's family seems sweet Jessica and her kids should learn Spanish Wait, Juan, do you expect Jessica to become fluent in a matter of days? Mark did pick a good wedding venue Oh, I feel sorry for Mina Oop the venue person bolts Greg is trying Omg, Amani, you can't even learn to say "nice to meet you" in Spanish? Well that's a lot of information to process I get Juan's concern, but I also get Jessica's point that she needs help So Sarper and Shekinah got into a spat and he bailed Shekinah...is that really why you put the air tag on there? (No) I'm glad Any's brother is at lea...

Time for a rapping roast challenge for bracket two! Mistress and Jorgeous are clever ones Mistress is so shady Classic order drama So I get that meeting Chappell Roan is fun, but like don't the queens need this time to prepare? I'm so sorry, Kerri I love how sparkly Ru's look is Okay I find it funny how we cut from the rapping roast to people dancing elsewhere This was a fun challenge, I gotta give it to the writers/producers Tina's look is beautiful Jorgeous's look is stunning I LOVE Nicole's look, but the Ruveal is rough Lydia looks beautiful Mistress's look is so fun and eye-catching Kerri's look is just incredible--no one else stands a chance of topping this runway Oh I'm sorry, Tina Love Chappell and Michelle disagreeing Mistress and Jorgeous being in the top seems fair Okay, I do love "Hot to Go" and I think Jorgeous won that lip sync (and Ru thinks it was a tie) Next week is a Rusical challenge Can't wait!
