RuPaul is Looking for the Top Drag Queen: Work It, Bitches!

Two of my most poignant coming of age memories involve unknowingly trying to party in the wrong place at just so I wouldn’t get carded. The first was when some friends and I were the first patrons to arrive at a very friendly bar on South Street that ended up being a very crowded gay bar by the time we were drunk. The second was when I went out drinking after journalism class in a neighborhood that was all business before 5pm and a hangout for coked up drag queens at night. I’m sure you all have a story like that. No? Whatever.

Anyway, I believe that a good drag queen is a thing of wonder and beauty and a bad drag queen is a just a thing of wonder. And for those of you who feel the same, it should delight you to know that America’s favorite drag queen RuPaul is looking for contestants for her new reality show on Logo, RuPaul’s Drag Race.

This is a competition where the winner will be crowned the Number 1 Drag Queen in the country. Casting will be done on line, much like MTV did with the cast of The Real World Hollywood. You can upload a video on the show’s website, where everyone can see how fierce you are and vote for you. There are already more than a few girls up there now, so don’t wait too long to post.
