Apparently Drag Race is planning something special. First Coco's strange gap and ignoring questions about Drag Race, now apparently Heklina from Trannyshack was requested to audition.
In addition to Season 7 a list of past Queens were sent requests to block out time this summer for All Stars 2. Willam's also appeared to change his tune about being on All Stars as he said this today on Tumblr in regards to it "p.s. I rarely say NO. If someone’s got a check, I’ve got a talent." and he's got a gap in his schedule for all of July until the middle of August.
While on the subject of a season of Legends, I'd nominate Miss Richmond 1981 and Dixie Longate to be included in the cast. Those girls aren't much in the beauty queen department, but man, would they nail Snatch Game.
The only problem I seem to have is that every single Legend Drag Queen I can think of is camp. I mean I want Hedda & Coco and that's already camp overload with just the two of them.
Didn't Hedda audition for the show quite a few times in the past? The thing about Hedda is her look is nothing special. It's different outfits in a shade of green. Much like Coco. I absolutely adore her, but I feel like the "realness" is part of the shtick. I can't imagine Coco walking the runway in anything else other than a simple black dress with a cup of Tension Tamer.
Well, Visage will HATE Hedda with all the green.
I am really interested to see where this is heading. There were some almost legendary Continental Pageant girls who would just exude beauty and sex. The problem is that there's mostly surgery there. I think legendary and I think camp.
So... this is a thing that exists in this world now...
This is truly the epitome of missing the point. Lady Marmalade is for POWERHOUSE VOICES and you record it with 4 Non-Singing Drag Queens!? It's embarrassing. Like really embarrassing. Why would they do this? I'm not going to lie and say I don't like Hot Couture & Bring It, but when Manila (self confessed "Well I can sing with autotune") is the best vocalist you have it's time to rethink somethings. Ditch Carmen and get honorary Heather Miss Stacy Layne Bryant Matthews Lattisaw Q who knows how to tear up a god damn song.
^Yuck.
Apparently the Bianca's luggage got lost, so she made a mad dash through Walmart, putting together an emergency drag kit with shaving cream, razors, pantyhose, bras, make up, brushes, etc. lol I would have paid more to see that than an actual show.
They did not heed Patti's warning.

Yeah, Hedda was on a few of the casting specials.
Who's ready to see Bianca's Walmart outfit?

Bianca Del Rio posted on Facebook this morning that Maddox Maddison lost his battle with skin cancer.
I'm not finding any official info. But that's not surprising as he's not really a mainstream news person.
Bianca's Facbook
I just saw that it was posted elsewhere, too. Truly unbelievable. It was so fast.
Very sad.
A radical change of pace. Did you know Bianca del Rio didn't want to do Judge Judy for Snatch Game? Her original choice was revealed as part of the second IndieGoGo campaign for Hurricane Bianca: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lo6WIiDcrw
I know why she couldn't do that character, but it's a brilliant choice.
A friend who worked with Maddox just posted the info as well. So very sad. And I thought I wouldn't be in the mood to see that Dora video, trent, but Goddamn was that funny and just what was needed!
It's been pretty rough for the American drag scene over the past few years with the death of Sahara a few years back and in the last six months, Lady Tajma Hall and Maddox.
He was tweeting just a few hours before he died. He said he was out getting new makeup and brushes and was going to post a video. He was only diagnosed 6 or 7 weeks ago. That's just terrifying.
