Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 11, episode 4

Time for bracket 2, episode 1!

  1. Crystal Methyd looks incredible
  2. Salina EsTitties's dress is pretty, but her makeup is PERFECTION
  3. Vivacious's look is fun, playful, but also stunning
  4. April Carrión's outfit is not my favorite, but her hair and makeup is gorgeous (okay, I think I was just not paying attention--I'm seeing it in the Werk Room and it is quite intricate)
  5. Aura Mayari looks great, but it's not the most memorable to me
  6. I am so excited to see Silky Nutmeg Ganache and I love that her look is a reference, but also just amazing
  7. "Are we alliance-ing right now?" is a great quote, Salina
  8. Wait, Aura, the way you said that made it seem like Salina is the only other queen you talk to from your season...did you mean that?
  9. I do love the alliance talk happening right away
  10. But lol, Crystal does not want to align herself with anyone
  11. Aw I'm enjoying the bond between Silky and Vivacious
  12. Silky with the puppet is pretty funny
  13. I love Ru's look
  14. "I only know the hoes," is a great quote, Reneé Rapp
  15. Between Vivacious and Silky's performance looks, I like Vivacious's look better
  16. That said, I think Silky has more charisma in this performance
  17. Wait how come April and Salina got like a whole set?
  18. I really like April and Salina's lyrics, but the song combined with their dancing just does not click for me (like they seem to be from different eras)
  19. Aura and Crystal are my favorite, but some of the dance moves didn't quite work for me (that said, they did a great job)
  20. Vivacious's look is IMPECCABLE (like I cannot see how any improvement could be made)
  21. Silky's look made me giggle and gasp (but the headpiece REALLY wants to fall over)
  22. April's look is enchanting, but there is something just a tad off (perhaps distracting?) about her makeup
  23. Salina looks beautiful, but the other looks just stood out to me more
  24. Aura manages to combine daintiness and sexiness, but, like Salina's look, the first three looks just really captivated me
  25. Crystal's work is such a great mix of camp and fashion
  26. Aura and Crystal were my top too as well
  27. Not sure Crystal's yellow makeup works with the lip sync outfit she selected (okay, just noticed how her extra outfit limbs are working and it's great)
  28. Wait, Aura, if you can't do a split, please do not attempt one (she did a death drop that worked mostly well though)
  29. I almost always prefer a quirkier take on a lip sync, so Crystal was my winner (and Ru agrees!)
  30. Next week is bracket 2, episode 2 (although, I really do wish they'd give us a preview of what challenge they'll be doing)

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 ...
