no one has requested tammie gifs in a while…
i’ll make some tomorrow
Anybody else catching the WTF Akashia’s having? Hilarity. More season 1 gifs please!
Is it just me or does she look like Perfidia? If not, accolades for doing her research.
Maria Montez 1943
Note to self: When refund rolls in, start looking for stuff that will befit dark ’20s and beyond.
I know I shouldn’t be thinking this but the “For fuck’s sake” look on her face tickles me so…
WTF indeed!
Mini challenge-padding! Too bad they didn’t get electric carving knives like Juju in Drag U. But with the shade being thrown, it’s probably for the best.
I think I’ll tuck extra tight for John Salley and Rick Fox-Willam In fact, Willam was made of laffo. Topped off with the hilariously snotty “BYE!” and snicker at the lack of immunity given to Laqueer and Chad.
Hell yeah, Billy B’s back!
The Bitter Betties had the best look of the Heels. Smart move on Phi Phi’s part. Damn, Sharon and Chad can paint real purty, high heel or beaten face.
I felt for Lashauwn. As much as she needs to cheer up, hit the ground running and maybe cook a bit more, I can understand about trying to shout above the louder girls.
Enough with the double winners and no immunity! Or at least give them better prizes.
Runway-
The de-loveliest were Phi Phi, Kenya Minaj, Madame Laqueer, Milan, Latrice
LSFYL-It was tough and I love them both but The Princess reigned supreme!
Untucked-Poor Chad but her rising up to turn her tragedy into education is inspiring and I hope people listen. If Jiggly didn’t regret those words, I’m sure she does now. That is all I’m gonna say. One of the sweetest surprises ever. “DID YOU TAKE MY FUCKING CORSET ALL THE WAY TO LA?!”
Bless you, Latrice, Phi Phi and DiDa. You tried.
Glamazons vs Champions
And the shade is flung like a taut g string at the jump! God bless you, Moods of Norway and Piyah Martell. Sweet as sugar, that one.
Milan and Latrice, a thousand shames on you two! Especially since you would have won if your shit hadn’t fallen like Akasha trying to serve glam in season 1.
Ooh shit, some shade between Madame and Kenya! Especially since they got on so well in episode 1. Looks like there might be some truth to TLo calling her out as a stealth mega yatch.
There better be a gif of Milan being 80s, right now.
Dude, chola Phi Phi :D
Team Glamazon-It’s the 80s, do a lot of blow and distrust Ronald Reagan! Category: Time Life realness! LMAO @ the look of horror on Ru Gunn’s face upon hearing Milan’s plug. A thousand squees to Milan pulling through with Superstar.
Madame Laqueer and Kenya both pulled a Yara but it worked a bit better for Kenya than Madame. Chad was a natural, I first thought that Willam was oddly stiff even for an infomercial but doing the on camera bump of Pit Crew pheremone brought her back from the brink. The Princess suffered once again as a result of her shrunken violet. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
“Any bitch with common sense knows you don’t channel Whitney Houston in a Rupaul informercial”-Willam
Team Champion-Soy sauce in my panties! …Never say that again, at least you can dance. Chola Phi Phi mauls a piñata! If Sharon was plugging Devil Made Me Do It, it worked for me! But it was Covergirl…She’d have been better off with the former. Either way, it was delightful.
I just hated that the informercial shoots were short because you never really get to see how the other queens seize the moments with their strengths and how or if they recover from their stumbles. I know there’s time constraints but still…
Amber Riley-Keep the guest judges with useful critiques coming! I also love how awed she was with Chad.
How does Natalie Cole still look in her early 40s?
Runway:
Milan-She reminds me of The Apple, and I know she’d love that.
Chad Michaels-They had it right, this shit would be something out of Glitter and Gold from Jem.
Willam-Break those chains of love! “My theme was Clash of the Titans…If Clash of the Titans was set in strip club,”
Sharon Needles-Serving Elvis and Elvira! The pomp is straight out of Dog Boy and I love it.
Phi Phi O’Hara-Lovely but it looks a bit…boring.
Madame Laqueer-Her clone does not sleep alone either!
The Princess-She got a Big Dipper just like Manila! The snood suits her perfectly…It sucked that she got stabbed in the front and the back but with that question, it is expected. Hopefully, she’ll learn from this and seize the chances to shine brightly like she’s supposed to.
Jiggly Caliente-The hair and the glasses are the best but they’re not enough to hold up the whole outfit. And with how awful her infomercial portion was, Ru needs to ask herself if waiting for Jiggly to pull herself out of the drama and polish herself along the way worth pushing other girls out of the door..
DiDa Ritz-Sweet girl but I gotta say…It’s about time she put in some effort! The spunk and energy she put in is infectious and if she started putting in that kind of effort towards her look, no telling what she can do. I need that sweater in my life like NOW.
Latrice Royale-Practically had it cold, trying to keep the holy ghost in her. Wasn’t crazy about the dress, though.
Kenya Michaels-Green Skinned Space Babe realness! She pushed through the barrier pretty well and I’m surprised at how easily Milan talking over her rolled off her back. It might be a different story if she knew more English. But the shade she threw…Uh-uh.
Untucked-Not cool, Milan. Even with alcohol in the system, let Willam finish. I love ya but the end of it was priceless and you lost by miles.
Aww, Gold Lounge togetherness. The surprise, however bittersweet, still touched the cockles of my little black heart. May have been a bit overwrought, though.
Sharon Needles-Unlikely Voice of Reason. God I hope The Soup is making a regular feature of these.
I like The Princess but the exit is pretty much right on schedule with the aforementioned reasons. I’ll still miss her though.
Okay, now just wait one squiddily-diddly minute. Suddenly, everyone who has passed this judgement is an AUTHORITY on what makes someone a Goth? Not only is it entirely passe’ to label everyone you see, but it’s also completely…
I was in no way supporting people to use this trend for the “wrong” reasons. I’m not saying accept them into your hearts. I personally have nothing to prove because I’ve identified with true goth since time immemorial. The lifestyles, the dark imagery, the romace of it all. I love music from Christian Death, to Dead Can Dance, to Tristania, Metallica, …you get the idea. (If you require that much proof to believe I actually know what the hell I’m talking about, just stick around my blog for ten minutes.) I posted a link to Haute Macabre because it’s sort of the missing piece. They can explain how to bring your style to the new age. It was that for me.
I’m not claiming to be an authority. However, it is fairly widely accepted that to be a Goth, you must listen to Goth music. Not exclusively Goth music, but you must like Goth music.
I think that’s a given. But that’s also a personal discrepancy.
I’m sure that there are people who dress in the style of nu-Goth who do actually like Goth music. In most cases though, all signs post to no.
If you think about it, music is no longer a common ground. What I’ve found to be a constant however, is the inexplicable affinity for morbidity. There’s a romance found in the dark/bizarre which varies from person to person. As important as music is to the goth identity, it’s not the center. Think of Edgar Allan Poe- a man seen as the forefather of our forefathers. Did he listen to goth music? Nope. BUT he was dark to his very core. He found beauty in what most were repulsed by.
Yes, but the Goth subculture, in it’s current form which has existed since the 80’s is a subculture based on music. Yes, Goths typically find beauty in that which others do not. However, being dark is not enough to be Goth. It is not a state of mind.
If the Goth subculture is no longer about music, then the Goth subculture no longer exists. There is no Goth without Goth music.
Then you’ve missed the point entirely this whole time. Goth has branched out from its early 80’s roots. How many subcultures within the goth genre can you name? Are they not valid because they don’t dress like you or listen to the same music? But give it time. You’ll get it.
Yes, Goth has branched out. And while a number of those branches are lovely little branches with their own take on Goth, none of them can truly be called Goth. Deathrock is not truly Goth, though it’s about as close as you can get without being Goth. Rivetheads, cybergoths, etc. are all not Goth. But, it seems that you’re more likely to find a deathrock who listens to traditional Goth bands than a hipster Goth. They are all perfectly valid subcultures, they’re just not that the Goth subculture.
But give it time. You’ll get it.
But they are. If they’re a sub culture they are goths. Period. If that’s your logic then you’re right in assuming that goth is indeed dead. It was a time period that no longer exists. Ask anybody who has been around for more than twenty years and they will tell you the exact same thing.
Right. They are a subculture of Goth. Just like Goth was initially a subculture of punk, yet I doubt anyone would assume that Goths and punks were part of the same subculture.
I never said that Goth was dead. Goth is still quite alive. What I said was that if the Goth subculture was no longer about music, then it would cease to exist. However, most Goths do still seem to put focus on the music of the subculture.
Aaaaand you chose to use my age to prove a point. Bravo, really just bravo.
I used your age because only with experience do you see the whole picture. In fact, I would LOVE to e-mail the people of HauteMacabre and ask them what defines a goth. Since you seem to revere them as real goths, I can give you proof for pudding.
You do that sweetie. Really.
I don’t revere them as real Goths-I consider them to be Goths, and I quite like their Goth-y fashion blog. Just because I consider someone to be Goth and have a good opinion of them does not mean that I have to take what they say as the gospel of Goth.
Isn’t deathrock more or less goth on the American side of the pond?
