15 thoughts on the cast announcement for RuPaul's Drag Race season 18

RuPaul's Drag Race has announced the cast for its 18th season! Here are thoughts about the 14 queens (as well as one about the season as a whole). I'm basing a lot of my thoughts off of the Variety article "‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Reveals 14 New Queens for Season 18" by Jazz Tangcay.

  1. Athena Dion: Excited to see a drag mother of previous season queens as well as a drag grandmother to a queen this season!
  2. Briar Blush: Honestly, I really love this drag name--it's so delicate and lovely, yet has a tinge of danger.
  3. Ciara Myst: Seems to have a sci-fi kind of angle to her drag and I'm here for it.
  4. Darlene Mitchell: Loving her campy vibe.
  5. DD Fuego: Definitely intrigued by her experience as "[a] former production designer for TV and off-Broadway theater".
  6. Discord Addams: The brief bio I read does not confirm this, but I wonder if she was at all inspired by The Addams Family.
  7. Jane Don’t: I laughed at this name--which is great, especially given that she is a comedy queen!
  8. Juicy Love Dion: It will be interesting to see her compete with her drag grandmother, Athena Dion.
  9. Kenya Pleaser: I love a confident, curvy queen.
  10. Mandy Mango: She is described as kooky and has a day job as a nurse, which is just an amazing combination (IMO).
  11. Mia Starr: Her brief bio says she loves 90s/early 2000s hip-hop, which means I'll likely actually know some of the songs in her repertoire, and that she is a legit professional dancer, which could be epic.
  12. Myki Meeks: A "recovering theater kid" with a mix of camp and glamour sounds like it could be a winning combination.
  13. Nini Coco: She is described as a conceptual costume designer, so I'm expecting some awesome looks from her.
  14. Vita VonTesse Starr: A pageant queen that also has strong design chops--should be great!
  15. So far, the cast for this season seems quite promising!

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
