5 Reasons Why You Should Watch RuPaul's Drag Race
Hulu

Ever since 2009, RuPaul's Drag Race has been slaying and gracing LogoTV with fierce and hilarious drag queens set off to compete to become "America's Next Drag Superstar". After experiencing eight hilarious, dramatic, and shady seasons I can officially call myself a super-fan of the show. Because of this I feel that it is my obligation to share just how much an "Eleganza Extravaganza" that is Drag Race. So, Here's the Tea:

5. "Lip-Sync For Your Life!!!"

In every episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, the Queens must compete in a challenge that shows off their "Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent" as RuPaul would say. Challenges include, impersonating celebrities, acting in comedic short films, or putting on a short musical. Following the challenge, the queens have to strut down the runway in whatever outfit follows the theme for that episode. RuPaul names a winner of the challenge, as well as the bottom two queens. The bottom two queens must perform a lip sync to a specified song for that one episode. This lipsync determines which queen stays and which queen must "Sashay Away".

4. The "Reading is Fundamental" Mini-Challenge

A few episodes into each season, the queens start getting aggravated with each other. So, Ru decided to let them "read" each other to get all the built up shade in each of the queens. (For those of you who don't know, the term "read" means to taunt or mock. A phrase or word used to mock someone in a humorous way.) Let's just say, this challenge cuts deep for some queens. Experience it for yourself:


3. SNATCH GAME!!!

Starting in Season 2, the queens pick a celebrity to impersonate and play in a game kind of mocking the popular game show "Match Game". Two (real) celebrity guests serve as contestants. The queens must try and impersonate their celebrity to the best of their ability. Here's a video:

2. The "fishy" queens

Every season there are always two contestants known as the "fishy queens". This basically means that their makeup is so well done that they actually look like biological women.


1. RuPaul's Runway Entrance

Before the Queens take on the runway, Ru slays the runway to show off a new look and to introduce the judges. She leaves us "GAGGING" every episode.


Now that you have just been educated on what a "sickening" show RuPaul's Drag Race really is, you can tune in to watch Season 9 next Spring on LogoTV.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
