Considering the BBC has cancelled #dragraceuk today I want to remind the world of this clip and why a show like this was so vital to so many queer individuals who found home in the show. Let’s hope and dream it’ll reach linear tv again.
she truly let us in sonically and visually on her struggles with mental health and constantly relying on antidepressants to keep sane. she’s such an important creative force in a climate where no one wants to be authentic anymore
Drag Race UK is leaving the BBC. I'm actually so sad about this 😭🥹
We filmed that show over six years ago. Six. I've blinked and it's gone. I was skint, I had no clue what I was doing, and I was locked in a room with eleven of the most talented people i’ve ever met.
Something happened in that room I've never been able to explain to anyone who wasn't in it. I miss it. I miss them. You don't realise how incredible we had it at the time. So grateful.
Everything I have came from that. The fact I get to do this for a living at all. I'll be grateful for the rest of my life and I mean it.
That show was on in living rooms where drag was not welcome, and it changed something in those living rooms. At a time when queer and trans people in this country are being legislated about and shouted about more than ever, that matters. It still does.
To every queen who came through those doors and everyone who ever watched: thank you.
Drag was here before the telly. It'll be here after. @dragraceukbbc@worldofwonder
10 years ago today, Lady Gaga released “Perfect Illusion.”
The song was written and produced by Gaga, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Mark Ronson, and BloodPop, and served as the lead single from Joanne.
Telephone x videophone was such a moment bc it wasn’t “long overdue”. It was the perfect moment for it to happen. Gaga was new but not brand new, Beyonce was Beyonce but not BEYONCE. Both were trying new things and gave the other space to flex themselves. FIERCE collabs.
The top is originally hand embroidered by small Vietnamese designer DATT & came with matching gloves. It's intentionally made with sheer chiffon to mimic tattooed artwork.
Its 2022 Popularity brought mass produced knock-offs of cheaper white tees that screen print instead ☹️
