Skin Wars season 2 episode 5 recap: You cannot do boom

July 15, 2015 Ruth Boulet

Skin Wars season 2 episode 5 spans the emotions – starting with laughter and winding around to horror. The mini-challenge is to create a paint that makes RuPaul laugh. Cheryl Ann is a classically trained painter, not a stand-up comedian! Kyle’s also not sure about being funny, but thinks maybe going dirty will make Ru laugh. We’ll see about that. Lana’s paint is all about RuPaul, destroyer of dreams. He pops the balloons of artists dreams. You cannot do boom to Lana! You cannot! Rio goes all-in and creates the story of Cheryl Ann being thrown under the bus from […]

Skin Wars Season 2 episode 2 Sweet & Savory recap

Of course Rebecca pops out of the cake.  Ru is also present & he gives her a hand out of the tiered cardboard dessert. This week’s mini-challenge is a sort-of unconventional challenge. The artists have to create a dessert-themed paint and top them off with actual pieces of candy. I’d rather they have to paint with frosting or something. That would be a PIA. I’d love to […]

Skin Wars season 2 premiere recap

June 10, 2015 Ruth Boulet

Since RuPaul is involved, I’ll be recapping the Skin Wars season 2 premiere. I watched Skin Wars last season and it was ok. Like most of the reality shows I watch, I enjoy seeing people with a skill set I completely do NOT have compete. My one disappointment last season was seeing a lot of what looked like collages painted on people. It just wasn’t my thing. I preferred the body art where the models blended into the background. What I did enjoy about Skin Wars were the names of some of the contestants. Gear Boxxx. Mythica Von Griffyn. Dutch […]
