Am I the only one watching this? I hope not because it’s absolutely fabulous! I have a feeling it’s not seen by a huge amount of people because it’s being shown on the Logo channel, which not everyone gets. But the episodes are available online: [Rupaul’s Drag Race](http://rupaulsdragrace.com/)

It’s basically, like it sounds, a reality show to find the best drag queen. I’ve loved Rupaul for quite a long time so I was pretty giddy when I happened across this last week. There’s a couple of them that are kinda…big on the ick factor…but most of them are gorgeous. I don’t want to say much without knowing if I’m the only one watching it though! 😃

Hmm, looks interesting. What’s not to love about a drag queen reality show? And WHO DOESN’T LOVE RUPAUL? 😃

I’ll have to check it out some more (watched some previews) - thanks!

It’s great. My personal favorites are Nina Flowers and uhh damn I forgot her name. She’s the one in the off shoulder t-shirt doing the photo shoot in the first ep. I was actually kinda unsure about Nina because of her initial appearance but my god she’s talented. The outfit she creates in the first challenge is just amazing.

I was cruising through the channel guide and saw this. It took me a few seconds to process what it was.

I laughed and thought that’s what’s great about America, we have Rue Paul and they don’t.

Maybe I’ll go back and check it out on your recommendation.
