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…

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…

Drag Race UK star Dita Garbo spills on “devastating” exit and “wretched” Snatch Game

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…
