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 about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
