Alaska is right up there as one of my all-time favorites. I'm beyond thrilled that this is happening and she's a part of it. Hopefully it'll be a full season and not this team bullsh*t like last time, though.
I must say that I listen to the queen's albums but I rarely enjoy them. ANUS is something completely different. The first half of the album is the usual generic Ru sounding dance music but the second half is really great. I even like Laganja's part which is the only time I haven't detested her.

So it looks like All Stars is gonna be in full swing. Queens are starting to cancel gigs citing Logo as the reason. We have Alaska (already named when the post went up), but Katya & Alyssa both just canceled gigs as well with Logo being the reason. Willam is also playing a bit coy with it.
Sonique said on Periscope tonight that they're casting for All Stars 2 and they're not doing teams this time around. Alyssa also canceled a gig early in August on top of her other one. Looks like she wants a good amount of time to prepare.
I was always hoping they'd do some sort of an All-Stars meets Second Chance/Gone Too Soon kind of show. For instance, any of the queens who were the first eliminated might have become fierce competitors, but they just bombed the first challenge. Perhaps the same holds true for any of the first four eliminated queens. Don't get me wrong, there are ones who I couldn't have cared less about and were probably pretty terrible to begin with, but I'd love to see Porkchop come back, Tempest DuJour, Penny Traition, Kelly Mantle, and even Lashauwn Beyond (would've loved to have seen what else she could have created.)
Reviewing this list, it seems like I wanted many of the older queens to have more of a chance. Interesting.
Someone on Reddit decided to be a Shangie Drew and emailed Laganja's manager posing as someone wanting to book her and was told she'd be unavailable for the first 3 weeks in September. Looks like we can add another to the tally.
