Sorry kids, Valentina is gone. Now get over it!
Three things I loved: 1. The club kid herstory & runway. Long live ’90s NYC nightlife! 2. Michelle Visage‘s cape lewk while judging the pilot challenge. 10s across the board, henny! 3. Sasha reading Trinity for finally making a joke. Keep shade alive, children!
Three things I hated: 1. Nina Bo’Nina‘s paranoia. Conspiracy theory killed the drag superstar! 2. Valentina’s laziness. A kween can’t live by face alone! 3. The fan outrage over the Ariana Grande lip sync song choice. Classic or new, hit or obscure, they all get the song ahead of time & can memorize. End. Of. Story. Sashay away!
And here are this week’s Snatch Game wannabe celeb dopplegangers.
1. Valentina is a Twisted Sister.
She’s not gonna take it anymore … because she’s gone!
2. Nina Bo’Nina has a Tiny chance of winning.
But it looks like her hopes have really dyed.
3. Sasha Velour is serving Earth’s first supermodel Janice Dickinson realness.
An eye for an eye!
4. Valentina is a Real Housewife of Orange County.
Goodbye Our Lady of Guadalupe, hello ‘Jesus Jugs’ Alexis Bellino.

Let me just say it up front, I need Kardashian: The Musical to be a real, legit thing. For The Record or Rockwell in LA get on it, stat!
Whether you hate the Kardashians or really hate them, I love a good origin story. And since I was at TMZ when Kim Kardashian arrived on the scene, I have a vivid memory of the first time she was covered in the press. Even before being outed as a Friend of Paris, she was the “mystery woman” on a date with newly single Nick Lachey. ‘Memba that?!
Three things I loved this week: 1. Alexis Michelle as Kris Jenner, duh! Knailed it. 2. Sasha, Trinity and Peppermint as the trilogy of terror that was Lindsay, Paris & Britney. The patron saints of Hyde Lounge and of the long lost era of young celebrities gone wild. RIP! 3. That Valentina‘s “quick drag” mini-challenge equals beat for the gawds flawless face. #EditingSayWhat
Three things I hated this week: 1. Meghan Trainor in a onesie. No! 2. Meghan Trainor saying “Hey, gur” to this week’s winner Shea Culee. No! 3. Hearing Meghan Trainor’s song “Woman Up” during the lip sync and actually liking it. Sashay away, Johnny!
Another thing I really hated, Eureka getting sent home because of her meniscus or whatever. Farrah Moan & Cynthia Lee Fontaine were saved from what should have been a double elim. Shante you stay, but by the skin of your cucus, henny.
Now here are this week’s #SnatchGame wannabe celeb dopplegangers.
1. Nina Bo’ Nina is serving Fish … Mooney.
Screw the ATL kweens, in Gotham she’s Nina Bo ‘Nina Brown Pinkett Smith!
2. Alexis Michelle – Oh ‘Nonna she didn’t?!
This Broadway kween is a little bit country.
3. Cynthia Lee Fontaine is getting Desperate.
She should know by now, never take off your clothes and/or wig during the lip sync.
4. Sasha Velour — She’s got Bette Davis eyes!
There may be a Feud if she doesn’t win.
5. Valentina is starting her own Dynasty.
Category is: Emma Samms not Pamela Sue Martin as Fallon Carrington Colby realness.
6. Put your phones down, because Shea Culee is owning the runway.
Naomi Campbell walk!
7. Aja has a lot of Blond Ambition.
But like Madonna at the ’91 Oscars, she ain’t gonna snatch any trophies.
8. Trinity Taylor – Oh Child!
I Don’t Wanna Fall in Love with Trinity, but I do love an obscure Jane Child reference.
9. Peppermint is tickled pink.
Put that super bass in your walk.
10. Farrah Moan is drowning.
Under the sea she goes.
11. Eureka is a funny Dame.
The bright side is she’s already a legendary comedy kween!
Now get all the tea in this week’s UNTUCKED below:

Sorry, I ain’t sorry.
Luckily, it’s just for a movie … and I still would.
#MyHusband
It was the night after the Grammys 1997 and the record label in New York I was working at was throwing a party for The Artist‘s – as he was referred to in the office at the time – latest album Emancipation going double platinum.
Myself and the entire publicity staff were working the door at LIFE on Bleecker Street, checking off names on the list, stamping people’s hands as they came through. We were all running on about 3 hours sleep after working the Grammy party the night before and then clocking a full day at the office. But I was high with anticipation & remember the exact moment I laid my human eyes on all 5’2″ of him.
I completely froze. Star sightings in NY or LA are one thing, but ICONS are whole other story. “Holy fucking shit it’s PRINCE,” I screamed silently in my head as he stood no more than five feet away. A mash up of videos for “When Doves Cry,” “1999” & “I Wanna Be Your Lover” (my personal faves) simultaneously rushed through my head as I suddenly became that insecure 12-year-old fanboy standing in line at the Midway Theater in Forest Hills the day Purple Rain came out back in 1984.
Luckily, one of my coherent co-workers opened the velvet rope. He sauntered up, gave half a smile & locked eyes with me for what seemed like forever. For a split second I was Vanity, Apollonia, Wendy &, yes, Lisa. And the water was warm enough!
As is usually the case, it was over before it even started. He and his platform boots were quickly whisked down the stairs to hold court inside the club’s VIP room. And I was abruptly brought out of my purple haze by the sight of Marilyn Manson & Joan Osborne – remember it’s 1997 – holding out their wrists asking to be stamped. But all was good with the world, because I was officially Delirious.
#RIP #TheArtistForeverKnownAsPr
Guardians of the MAC counter is more like it.
Contour for your LIFE!
