The Privilege Of Agreeing To Disagree
<p class="">Was It An Act Of Kindness Or Class Solidarity?</p><p class="">On this episode, we discuss the recent controversy surrounding Ellen Degeneres attending a Dallas Cowboys game with former President, George W. Bush. After a photo of them and their spouses went viral on Twitter, Ellen addressed the widespread criticism in a 4-minute speech on her talk show. However, it was more misdirection than anything else. Ellen casually dismissed the gravity of the issue by saying "I'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that I have" & "When I say, 'be kind to one another,' I don't only mean the people that think the same way that you do." With just those two sentences, it is painfully obvious that Ellen is out of touch & has used her wealth & class to attain the privilege to agree to disagree.</p><p class="">In this week's "Keto Korner," we rave about The Girl On Bloor's<a href="https://thegirlonbloor.com/philly-cheesesteak-stuffed-peppers/" target="_blank"> Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers </a>& Eatwell 101's<a href="https://www.eatwell101.com/instant-pot-keto-tuscan-soup-recipe" target="_blank"> Instant Pot Tuscan Soup</a>.

Why So Blue?
<p class="">"Determining what obscene, indecent and profane mean can be difficult, depending on who you talk to." ~ The Federal Communications Commission</p><p class="">On this episode, we tackle the FCC's nebulous stance on what is too obscene for network television. Following our discussion about Hallow Eve's floorshow look from episode 5 of Dragula season 3, many of our listeners reached out to remind us that the FCC prohibits the use or simulation of menstrual blood in television programs, commercials, or print ads. With that in mind, we did some research into the matter and decided to share our findings. It was no surprise to us that the "regulation" is outdated, leads to misinformation, and is rooted in misogyny.</p><p class="">Seasonal Affective Disorder and our continued adventures with hair bleaching are on the agenda as well, and we share what we're most excited about this week: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cabronas-y-chingonas/id1244159643" target="_blank">Cabronas y Chingonas' "2 Fat 2 Brave"</a> with Favy Fav & Eva Arreguin; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbAwSkqJ1W_Eg7wr3cp5BUA" target="_blank">Safiya Nygaard's YouTube Channe</a>l; and <a href="https://www.ta-osh.com/" target="_blank">Ta-Osh Designs' </a>inclusive range of nude fabrics.</p>

Blondes Have More Fun

With that in mind, Robert decided to venture over to the blonde side, and proved that blondes - even when tinted silver - DO have more fun!</p><p class="">In addition to our hair dyeing adventures, we also chat about DragCon NY; catch up on Dragula Season 3; and discuss our most recent movie-watching experiences!</p><p class="">We also share a listener email, so keep them coming!</p>

<p class="">"Camp is...the love of the exaggerated, the 'off,' of things-being-what-they-are-not." ~ Susan Sontag</p><p class="">On this episode, we bring you our review of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's latest Costume Institute exhibition, "Camp: Notes on Fashion." Drawing inspiration from Susan Sontag's seminal 1964 essay, "Notes on Camp," the exhibition explored the ways in which designers have employed camp sensibility in the creation of their haute couture garments & accessories. While it is the first Costume Institute exhibition to explicitly center homosexuality in the presentation of the works, it is a dated conservation that generally excludes the contributions of Queer POCs. Our discussion of the exhibition focuses on this erasure, our favorite pieces, and a lesson in etiquette for museum visitors.</p><p class="">We also discuss the most recent attacks on reproductive rights, which are proposing the implementation of the most oppressive restrictions since the early 20th century. To find out more about the impending abortion bans and how to participate in protests, donate to grassroots organizations, or become an abortion-clinic escort, <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2019/05/stop-the-bans-abortion-protest-everything-to-know.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a>.</p>

Notes On The Met Gala
<p class="">"One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art." ~ Oscar Wilde</p><p class="">The "First Monday In May," "Party Of The Year," & "Met Gala" are all names for New York City's most exclusive social event. Each year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute throws a grand affair to celebrate the opening of its Spring exhibition & raise money for the department. Held to inaugurate the exhibition, "Camp: Notes on Fashion," the 2019 Met Gala dress code was "Studied Triviality" challenging attendees to compete for the spotlight in the campiest creations ever seen on the steps of the Met.</p><p class="">Join us as we discuss our favorite looks from this year's Met Gala, why we think they best adhered to the theme of the exhibition, and which looks fell a bit short.</p><p class="">In this week's Keto Korner, we share a delicious recipe for No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake, courtesy of Headbanger's Kitchen. Click <a href="https://headbangerskitchen.com/recipe/no-bake-peanut-butter-keto-cheesecake/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to check it out.</p>

Girl, Really?
<p class="">"I Was Feeling Sexy, So I Started To..."</p><p class="">On this episode, we talk about taking a more active role in caring for our health & how to be supportive in the workplace during times of crisis. We also discussed "News That Makes You go 'Hmmmm...'": A soldier fell into a volcano while trying to get a "better" view; a man from the U.K. has a peculiar fetish involving horses; spilled gravy got an Iowa man into hot water with the Geek Squad; & Chemsex Survival Kits are providing people with safer ways to indulge in their sexual activities.</p><p class="">In the Keto Korner, we rave about a new recipe we discovered for Keto Bagels from Low Carb Yum. Check out the recipe <a href="https://lowcarbyum.com/low-carb-bagels-fat-head-dough/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p><p class="">NOTE: for the bagel recipe, we used superfine almond flour instead of coconut flour. Simply replace one part coconut flour with four parts superfine almond flour.</p>

The album is an unabashed declaration of self-love, power, & independence, while simultaneously affirming that being vulnerable does not negate one's own strength. This message is conveyed through eleven beautifully written & produced tracks that we are obsessed with.</p><p class="">We also introduce some new segments this week; Keto Corner & I'm So Excited.

Her aesthetic has expanded beyond the "established" boundaries of each of these roles, thus claiming her own space in New York's fickle nightlife scene. Her monthly party, "Straight Acting," now in its fourth year, actively trolls Masc4Masc culture and is a safe space where partygoers can express and enjoy themselves. Toxic behavior and outdated concepts of gender performance are not welcome.</p><p>We KiKi with Rify about growing up in New Jersey, her drag inspirations, and the claim that she only just started doing drag!</p>

<p>Sham Payne Is Boston's Shapeshifting Drag Queen!</p><p>Although a Boston native, Sham Payne's drag roots are in Baltimore, the hometown of drag legend, Divine. While studying Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, Sham began experimenting with drag, which soon became their artistic outlet. After graduating, Sham moved back to Boston and has been a fixture in the local scene for over five years. Their signature colored facial hair, and bold geometric patterns are defining characteristics of their aesthetic, which Sham uses in a chameleon-like manner. Googly eyes, flowers, gloves, and a talent for craft are but a few of the tools in their eclectic arsenal of drag. Keep your eyes peeled if you're ever in Boston; Sham Payne is a trompe l'oeil fantasy come to life!</p>

Jupiter Velvet
<p>"Realize that bodies are only a fraction of who we are" ~ Gabe Moses</p><p>Jupiter Velvet stole a spaceship & crash-landed on Earth, seeking to be an "average" American girl. However, she is anything but average. Jupiter is a complex and multi-layered character and performer, drawing her inspiration from Patrick Nagel, the Memphis Design Group and, of course, Lizzie McGuire!</p><p>Jupiter is also a fierce advocate for body positivity and trans-acceptance. A member of the Queer Scene in Miami's Wynwood District, Jupiter uses her visibility to break down pre-conceived notions of what drag should look like & confronts those who believe that "passable" is the ultimate compliment for a trans woman.</p><p>Jupiter chatted with us as she was putting the finishing touches on her look for Bushwig 2018. We discussed gender identity; her experiences growing up queer and Latinx; and the Indiegogo campaign for the documentary, "Emergence," which explores gender and drag through the profiles of six of Miami's queer performers.</p><p>To read the poem referenced by Jupiter, <em>How to Make Love to a Trans Person</em> by Gabe Moses, <a href="http://wildgender.com/queer-poetics-how-to-make-love-to-a-trans-person/2401" target="_blank">CLICK HERE.</a></p><p>TO DONATE to the <em>Emergence</em> Indiegogo campaign, <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/emergence--10#/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE!</a></p>

Horrorchata
<p>"We're The Backyard Queens Honey!" </p><p>On this episode, we interview Glam Punk Tejana Drag Queen & Bushwig Co-Founder, Horrorchata. Chata's story is a winding road that began in San Antonio. As a child, her father would dress her up as a clown to assist him at his gigs, blowing up balloons & standing in for him when he wasn't available. Her mother, a wedding planner, contributed to her highly organized nature. Eventually, she moved to Austin, where she began to experiment with drag. After moving back home for a bit, she eventually boarded a one-way flight to New York City & the rest is history!</p><p>Over the years, Chata has established herself as an international Drag Queen & DJ. In 2012, along with Baabes Trust, she co-founded Bushwig. Now in its seventh year, Bushwig has evolved beyond Chata & Baabes' wildest dreams. The drag festival has traveled around the United States, had it's first stint in Berlin this summer, and might just make it to Mexico City in 2019. What began as an idea while wig shopping, has transformed into a cultural phenomenon, solidifying Chata's legacy as a leader & legend in our community!</p><p><br></p>

Miss Toto
<p>#IMINLOVEWITHMISSTOTO</p><p>On this episode, we interview Miami's Party Queen, Miss Toto. A towering drag goddess, she is a staple of the Wynwood District's alternative drag scene. She moved to Miami to pursue a graduate degree in Marine-Science Research. Little did she know that she would also be studying the art of drag. As with many, the bug bit hard, and under the tutelage of her drag mothers Juleisy Y Karla, Miss Toto was born. Since then, Miss Toto has been painting her face, donning heels, and serving Miami everything a 6' 5" muscle queen has to offer!</p><p>Miss Toto chats with us about doing drag at night, tagging sharks by day, body building, and her upcoming appearance at Bushwig 2018. She also shared how she keeps herself in tip-top shape while pursuing all her passions. Miss Toto may be a Party Monster, but self-care is the top priority for this Queen!</p>

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 Reunited!
<p>Family Reunion or Witch Hunt?</p><p>With only a week left before the crowing of a new "America's Next Drag Superstar," all 14 Queens from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 returned for an emotional reunion.</p><p>To describe the reunion as rocky would be an understatement. Wounds were still fresh, the hurt was real, and tensions were high. GuRuPaul took center stage as a self-righteous, holier-than-thou, unqualified life coach. Her actions exacerbated the conflict between The Vixen & Eureka O'Hara and bringing Asia O'Hara to tears. Barely 20 minutes in, The Vixen leaves the stage, having become the target of a savage witch hunt at the hands of "Mama Ru," a role she continuously falls short of fulfilling.</p><p>The complete disregard for the mental health & well-being of the contestants this season has been a hard pill to swallow. In the words of Jasmine Masters, "RuPaul's Drag Race done fucked up drag..."</p><p>Joining us from Los Angeles is Moni Stat!</p>

Asia’s “Panquisha” won her Cheyenne’s heart and a spa day on Rodeo Drive.</p><p>The maxi-challenge & runway forced the Queens to tap into their Inner Saboteurs. Each girl created two looks/characters inspired by their best and worst qualities. What could possibly go wrong when confronting your inner demons while sleep deprived?</p><p>The split personalities in the Werk room & runway let us in on the Queens’ inner monologues and deepest insecurities. Aquaria/Sabatina stole the show with a solid narrative and flawless style.

<p>Make It A Double!</p><p>On Episode 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10, only 6 Queens remain.</p><p>This week, the "Pants Down Bottoms Up" mini-challenge recalled challenges from past seasons. The queens had to rely on their memory to match up Rounderbum (a.k.a. Lumpybum) underwear designs worn by the Pit Crew. It also marked the first time a trans man - Laith Ashley - was a member of the Pit Crew.<br></p><p>The maxi-challenge had the girls perform in "Breastworld," a parody of HBO's hit series, "Westworld." It was very "Fantasy Island" meets "The Jetsons" meets lackluster writing & confusing directing. However, the Queens did what they could with the material provided.</p><p>The Silver Foxy runway theme had the Queens gave us a glimpse of where they would be 50 years from now. Some withstood the ravages of aging, while others were selling fanny packs in the DragCon parking lot.<br></p><p>Joining us from Los Angeles is well-known top, Meatball!</p>

Aja Is In Her Feelings
<p>“What’s good, Ma? Let me give you a reading!”</p><p>Aja is back on Grizzly KiKi. Since we last checked in, Aja has been on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9 & RuPaul’s Drag All Stars Season 3; sent countless internet trolls back under their bridges; & traveled the world entertaining thousands of fans!</p><p>On the eve of RuPaul’s DragCon L.A. 2018, Aja delves into the intense racism & bigotry within the Drag Race fandom. As a Queen of color & a public figure, it is something she has had to deal with head-on. Tackling these experiences in both real & virtual spaces has been no easy feat, as they have become increasingly more common & brazen. What the trolls don’t understand is that Aja is a force to be reckoned with & she’s going to get them together, one way or another.</p><p>We are also celebrating the release of “Brujería.” It is the second single off of Aja’s upcoming debut EP, “In My Feelings,” to be released on May 11. The single dispels misconceptions surrounding Santería - Aja’s religious practice - while simultaneously celebrating historical & fictional Brujas. The track’s visually stunning music video completes the enchantment & explores the multiple facets of Aja’s complex persona.</p><p>Having seen Aja’s evolution over many years has been a privilege. She is a true New York Queen whose reach has grown beyond the five boroughs. She is using her art as a call to action. Queer people of color are essential, important, & must be celebrated!</p>
