7 Questions With … Tammie Brown of RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race

November 4, 2012 Ruth Boulet

Tammie Brown didn’t get very far in Season 1 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She was also eliminated early in the All Stars edition. Despite these early exits, Tammie Brown remains one of the most memorable contestants in the show’s history. Her seemingly non-sequitur outbursts made for entertaining viewing and apparently weren’t annoying to other contestants as they all seemed to really respect her. Tammie Brown was kind enough to respond to our 7 Questions and tell us a little bit about her Drag Race experience & what she’s up to next. Channel Guide Magazine: How do you feel about your […]

7 Questions With… Nina Flowers of RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race

November 3, 2012 Ruth Boulet

While the nature of RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race means that every week a talented drag-testant will be going home, the elimination of Nina Flowers was certainly surprising. She had been the runner-up in Season 1 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but in the All Stars edition, Nina was part of the eliminated team Brown Flowers. Nina was gracious enough to respond via email to our 7 Questions, as well as a few other questions about what she’s doing now & how she felt about her elimination. Channel Guide Magazine: Nina Flowers – I’m so surprised! Why do you think you […]

An Interview with Mimi Imfurst of RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race

October 29, 2012 Ruth Boulet

Controversial Mimi Imfurst made an early exit from RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race. She also went early in Season 3. This time, Mimi was hoping to show everyone more of what she has to offer. And then the contestants were told they were to compete in teams of two. She talked to Channel Guide about the experience and her band XELLE. Channel Guide Magazine: is your super busy schedule is that kind of is that a result of being on Drag Race or that pretty typical for you? Mimi Imfurst: It’s pretty typical for me. I half-jokingly one day referred […]

An interview with Pandora Boxx of RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race

October 29, 2012 Ruth Boulet

Fan-favorite Pandora Boxx made an early exit from RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race. One of the top four in Season 2, Pandora was hoping to show off her improvement in the intervening years. And then the contestants were told they were to compete in teams of two. She talked to Channel Guide about the experience and her new music video. Channel Guide Magazine: Obviously the way you left All Stars was not the way you wanted to leave All Starsbut now that it’s been a little time what are your thoughts on how your experience was and how things ended […]

7 Questions With … Mimi Imfurst of RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race

October 26, 2012 Ruth Boulet

RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race eliminated two talented queens in the first episode. One of those queens was Mimi Imfurst, the self-proclaimed “Hardest Working Bitch In Show Business.” Pandora Boxx was also sent home. At the end of our recent interview, I asked Mimi if she would be so kind to answer our 7 Questions. Enjoy her answers — and check out her full interview. You’re at a magazine rack and can pick three titles, which ones do you choose? Ooh. Vogue. People and Weekly World News because there’s always a Bat Boy or Vampire or alien somewhere. I’m a […]

7 Questions With… Pandora Boxx of RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race

October 26, 2012 Ruth Boulet

Pandora Boxx won the Miss Congeniality Award during RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 2. Unfortunately, that win didn’t help her on RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race and she was one of the first queens sent home, along with Mimi Imfurst. We talked with Pandora about her latest Drag Race experience & also asked her our 7 Questions. You’re at a magazine rack and can pick three titles, which ones do you choose? Like real magazines? I was thinking of crazy magazine titles. I would pick Entertainment Weekly, (CGM) you can throw in some fake ones… (PB) Schlong and Ebony. Your DVR […]

Check out clips from RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race Episode 2

October 24, 2012 Ruth Boulet

Werk! RuPaul is serving early realness with a couple of previews of episode 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. In preview number 1, the dragtestants prove how well they know each other by playing the hot new game In Da Butt Ru. That’s hashtag #InDaButtRu. The questions are far more tame than the actual name of the game, but that doesn’t stop our girl Tammie Brown from getting freaky by saying Nina Flowers wears grass panties. Cause it’s always green on the other side. Jujubee speaks for many of us when she calls for Tammie to come back to […]

RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race starts its engines

October 23, 2012 Ruth Boulet

Hey gurl! RuPaul is back, along with some of the favorite drag queens from seasons past. All of the contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars made it THIS close to the ultimate crown, but ultimately failed. Well, ok, Tammie Brown and Mimi Imfurst didn’t really come close, but they were interesting dragtestants. All right, Tammie was interesting. Mimi got crappy editing to look like an insecure drama queen. Perhaps they will both be exonerated this time around. RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race features: Pandora Boxx (Season 2, top 5) Latrice Royale (Season 4, top 4) Yara Sofia (Season 3, […]

It all comes to an end on American Idol

May 25, 2011 Ruth Boulet

by Ruth Anne Boulet Who will step in and give Lauren Alaina a sparkle intervention? Who? Does A&E have a show about that? They should. She needs it. They could also have a hair extension episode. We begin with Glee wannabe performance of “Born this Way.” Everyone needs a sparkle intervention. All the girls, at least. The boys need a crotch intervention. Who checks the fit on these clothes? Those crotches are insane! Michael Kors could totally be the interventionist. Next up is Durbin and Judas Priest. For the occasion they’ve totally gayed up James. He’s studded out. He looks […]
