Drag Race UK star Charra Tea on makeover exit: ‘I waited for a Kandy Muse moment’

admin, , , ,

In her GAY TIMES exit interview, Charra Tea discusses her final hour on Drag Race UK, RuPaul’s unnecessary decision to send a queen packin’ and why season six has been an all-timer for the franchise. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO JASMINE ALOMA AND SOFIE VAN DE GRAMPEL AT THE BBC “After that cabaret talent show I was like, ‘Get me my suitcases, let’s go!’” says Charra Tea. Fortunately for viewers, Drag Race UK’s garish icon persevered and delivered one of the franchise’s most unpredictable trajectories in the process, from safe-safe-safe-safe-to-waaaasp!

Drag Race UK winner Ginger Johnson talks ‘bizarre, ridiculous and cartoony’ new series

admin, , , ,

Ginger Johnson says her new BBC series is a perfect encapsulation of what resides in her “great big head”. Following her win on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK last year, the Northern comedian has unleashed a camp six-part series, Ginger’s House, in which she invites familiar faces over to kiki and – as an “incredibly lazy” person – assist her with household chores. Featuring appearances from queens such as Tia Kofi, Kate Butch, Cara Melle, Danny Beard and Miss Naomi Carter, Ginger describes the series as “half-sitcom, half-chat show” due to its hybrid scripted…

Drag Race UK star Chanel O’Conor reveals unaired drama from this week’s runway, Coco Peru’s ‘hysterical’ reaction to her Snatch Game and the queens she wants to cause “carnage” with on a villains’ season. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO JASMINE ALOMA AND SOFIE VAN DE GRAMPEL AT THE BBC “If you want to see me as a villain, then I shall be the villain,” says yacht-owner Chanel O’Conor.

Drag Race UK: Who the eliminated season 6 queens planned for Snatch Game

admin, , , ,

Drag Race UK‘s eliminated queens, Saki Yew, Dita Garbo, Zahirah Zapanta and Kiki Snatch, reveal their brilliant impersonations for the iconic Snatch Game. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS With a plethora of Snatch Game champions going on to conquer their respective seasons of Drag Race, from Jinkx Monsoon to Envy Peru and Sharonne, the staple challenge is widely said to “separate” the drag queens from ‘[insert country here]’s Next Drag Superstar’. Often, Snatch Game occurs in the middle of the season, which means half of the queens don’t get the chance to flex…

In her GAY TIMES exit interview, Kiki Snatch reflects on her Drag Race UK journey and severe lip-sync smackdown against Actavia, as well as her thoughts on the result. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO JASMINE ALOMA AND SOFIE VAN DE GRAMPEL AT THE BBC “Not to toot my own horn, but hello? Like, beep beep?” Kiki Snatch says of her *impeccable* lip-sync smackdown on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. Although her battle against Actavia to David Bowie’s funk-rock classic ‘Let’s Dance’ has been widely lauded as one of the British franchise’s best, Kiki was sadly Marcia…

admin, , , ,

Michael Marouli reveals that she will ‘come for blood’ on a potential season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK All Stars.  In an interview with GAY TIMES, the Northern entertainer correctly says it’s “about time” for the British franchise to receive an All Stars equivalent (UK vs the World doesn’t count…) because of the sheer “calibre of queens” that have been introduced over six seasons. “It would go off. I think it would be so successful, so huge. Can you imagine seeing all those personalities back together on our screen? Especially queens that didn’t get…

Krystal Versace has announced a “little break” from drag to concentrate on her mental health. On Wednesday (23 October), the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner was “transparent” with her fans on her Instagram Story, where she explained that the past year has been “intense for me in many ways and I’ve experienced a lot of burnouts”. “Society doesn’t encourage you about looking after your mental health in fact it encourages the opposite, especially in my industry,” Krystal wrote. “So without getting into too much detail atm I want to be open about…

In her GAY TIMES exit interview, Drag Race UK star Zahirah Zapanta discusses her “traumatic” final episode and Oscar-worthy impersonation for the Snatch Game. Zahirah Zapanta may not be the UK’s Next Drag Superstar, but it’s fine. As the Filipino Goddess demurely (and correctly) tells GAY TIMES, “I’m so fierce it hurts. It hurts so much. It’s crazy being this fierce.” Girl groups made a return on this week’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, with the ten remaining queens writing ghoulish lyrics and recording chilling vocals in hopes of securing the UK’s Halloween…

admin, , , ,

Dita Garbo speaks with GAY TIMES about her emotional final episode, why she doesn’t agree with the judges’ critiques and who should’ve lip-synced in her place. “Surely not, oh bollocks!” is a fitting way to begin this intro because, sigh, D-D-D-Dita Garbo’s time on Drag Race UK has come to an e-e-e-end (too much?). For their third maxi-challenge, the queens of season six were tasked with over-acting in British rom-com trailers, before showcasing their ‘New Romantics’ runways on the main stage. While she breathed power (as per) on the runway, Dita’s acting…
