The Pizzeria Comes Back With A Slice of Tucked Sausage

So, we are back here at the Pizzeria after the week that was a week of Charlie Sheen and him winning at everything, but I know you don't want to hear about him anymore, since we have reached saturation with the poor man. So instead I'm going to talk about one of the great guilty pleasures on TV right now, RuPaul's Drag Race.

Before we get going with this, I would like to state this out front. I'm fine with people living their life's however they want. All jesting in this blog is to expose the cheesiness of the show, not to mock the drag environment or the LGBT community. Just wanted to get this out of the way to make sure RuPaul doesn't read this and shuts me down

Now, for those of you who don't know and if that's you I'm sorry for singling you out, RuPaul is one of, if not the greatest Drag Queen of all-time. Her hit song "Supermodel", which you can check out at the link was a top 50 hit during the grunge era of American Music. But we aren't here to talk about her past, we are here to talk about her present and future and that is her show "Drag Race"

Now, if you have ever seen a show like America's Next Top Model or Project Runway you kinda will find the show familiar. Most episodes open with the contestant receiving "Shemail" (can't buy subtlety like that anymore) that point them in the direction of the challenge they will have for the week. Then the lady of the hour steps in as a man, and aids our would be queens on their way to the challenge.

One challenge always good to draw a good laugh or two is the 'reading' challenge introduced in Season 2. Reading or Throwing Shade is the drag queen equivalent of a roast joke, or so I believe. Here's the footage from last season's reading.



Once a challenge is completed, the prospective drag superstars meet on the runway as Ru makes her decision on which queens are safe and the two queens that are now in danger of elimination. They will have but one chance to stay in the competition, and it is to Lip Sync for their Life!

So take that Top Model, you have pretty ladies just standing around and they get to win. Kudos Project Runway, you had someone make a skirt. The contestants on RuPaul's show not only have created their own looks, made them, but now they even have to lip sync for their life!

Oh and it is a moment of the highest drama. The tension is so think you can cut it with a spork. Below is one of the great moments of television, in my opinion, of the last 3 years. At the end of it you may laugh, you may cry, you make shake your head in amazement and wonder why I did this, but there is also something else you will do, you will think that when nothing is left, the human spirit will find a way to carry on above all other things. Ladies, Gentlemen, LadyBoys, and GirlyMen, I present to you, the triumph of Shannel's victorious Lip Sync.



And with then, the Pizzeria is closing it's doors for this week.I hope you all enjoy your Spring Break, as I know I will as I am off to France with a class. Perhaps the next slice you get might be something a little international for you. So until we see each other again I leave you with this RuPaul-ism.

"If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"

Later!
