@JJWintermans@djbellaspreads@joelxver Lmao. It was a throw away comment by someone who's been watching the show since before you knew what drag even was. That's a lotta emotions. Life is short.
@JJWintermans@djbellaspreads@joelxver Luister, ik weet dat je beweert de Nederlandse politiek te volgen en zo, en ik heb me de vrijheid veroorloofd Google Translate te gebruiken om er zeker van te zijn dat ik glashelder ben als ik zeg: Hemeltjelief, mens, herpak jezelf. Zo ernstig is het niet.

@djbellaspreads@joelxver Well, since you asked π€£
1. She said she was the queen of trashy looks and then proceeded to bitch and moan that the fabric she was given for the design challenge was too trashy. (It was cow print).
@djbellaspreads@joelxver It's more the combination of it and she really isn't a good at drag, I'm sorry. But you're correct π―. It's tact and class that she lacks.
@djbellaspreads@joelxver 3. She quit drag and is supposedly a right-wing grifter. Sounds right, even if it isn't, the grift part that is.
But no hate. Just the truthful observation.
@djbellaspreads@joelxver 2. She told the other contestants on camera that she was only there for publicity and didn't care about the show. She took up a spot that another deserving queen should have gotten during casting.
My Favorite Films
Paper Moon (1973)
Director Peter Bogdanovich's (The Last Picture Show) 1973 depression era comedy adpated from Joe David Brown's novel "Addie Pray" is most known for Tatum O'Neal winning an Oscar at age 10. Daughter of Ryan O'Neal (who also stars along with her), Tatum's career never really went anywhere after this and became more famous for being married to tennis star John McEnroe and her strained relationship with her farher.
But none of that should take away from this marvelous movie. Filmed in crisp black and white, Paper Moon is about con man Moze Pray, who makes his living by conducting a bible ordering scam on recently widowed women, who arrives at the funeral of one of his lovers. Her orphaned daughter Addie, with no family nearby willing to take her in, is there and many of the people at the funeral suspect Moze to be her father. When he agrees to drive Addie to some relatives in Missouri, he cons the brother of the man who caused the accident that killed Addie's mom, but Addie overhears and when they go to a diner for some food, the little quiet girl shows her resolve and demands that Moze pay her back the money that was rightfully hers. Thus begins their adventure, as the go across the midwest, teaming up to con their way to Missouri as they begin to develp a close bond, through thick or thin. Or in this film, Madaline Kahn one of the funniest woman to have existed. Known for her roles in the Mel Brooks' films "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles" (where she earned back to back best supporting actress oscar nominations with this after "Paper Moon"), Kahn has a short but unforgettable performance as Trixie Delight, a woman that Moze meets and, much to Addie's disdain (as she now has to fight for Moze's attention), brings along for their road trip. Trixie's young attendant. Imogene (played by a talented P.J. Johnson, who only made one more film and basically vanished) is also irritated with the situation and makes a good ally with Addie. Randy Quaid has a very small role (just like in The Last Picture Show) as well as John Hillerman (Magnum, P.I.).
It's really refreshing to watch a comedy with such beautiful cinematography that really makes you feel stranded in the middle of the great plains. Its funny, surprisingly touching (I still cry during the last shot), and while I won't argue the validity of Tatum's Oscar win, she had the gift of deadpan comedy and is really the main actress of the film. Give it a shot and tell me what YOU think.
Rating: πππππ Movie (I had a hard time with this one and I could change it to Film. Thoughts?)
