The Week in Drag – Bob critiques her audition tape, Ongina and Willam talk shoes, the return of Crystal Methyd and more

Bob the Drag Queen

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to a Labor Day weekend edition of your weekly wrap-up of all things Drag Race!

This week, we check in with some of your favorites, so before you hit the beach, head to a cookout or do whatever you’re doing this long weekend, get the latest scoop. We’ve got lots of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent waiting for you, so let’s bring it to the runway!  

OG queen Ongina shows Willam around her drag den (and shows off some amazing shoes) on “Lifestyles of the Bitch & the Gaymous.”

Bob deserved her season 8 win, but if she had competed on season 7, we may have had a different outcome. Watch as she honestly (and hilariously) reviews her season 7 audition tape for Drag Race. Honestly, her looks may have been a little crunchy, but her incredible sense of humor really shone through.

On the latest “Sibling Watchery,” Bob and Monét chat with Brennan Lee Mulligan about their experience on Dungeons and Drag Queens.

Australia, Mexico and Brazil’s Drag Race franchises are airing right now, but in case you need more international drag, World of Wonder has you covered. The third season of Drag Race Italia will premiere October 13th exclusively on WOW Presents Plus. Singer Paola Iezzi and The White Lotus actor Paolo Camilli will be joining actress Chiara Francini and drag queen Priscilla – also serving as host of the show – for this highly anticipated season.

Jaymes Mansfield is creating again, and we couldn’t be happier. She is making life-sized recreations of iconic Barbie fashions in her new series. She makes Barbie’s beautiful black, mermaid-tailed, solo spotlight dress.

Last week, I posted the first part of a two-part episode of “The Bald and the Beautiful” featuring Katya and Courtney Act. I couldn’t leave you hanging so here’s part 2.

Trixie and Kayta talk about straight people again on the latest “UNHhhh” (and, speaking as a straight person myself, they aren’t wrong with their observations.)

Before we part ways, if you want to spread some love this holiday weekend, consider supporting drag legend Coco Peru. Her beloved mother, Helen, needs financial aid to be able to stay in her home. You can lend support through this GoFundMe.

And…that’s it for this week. Enjoy the holiday and until next week, stay safe, stay healthy, support the queens and Say LOVE!
