I started watching Rupaul’s Drag Race as soon as it came to Canada. I have downloaded every season (legally) and watch them all over and over again. I look forward to every next season, I root for my favourites. I breathe it all in. There are many things I have learned over these six seasons, including a whole new vocabulary, and many things any woman should know:
1) Every body is beautiful
Drag queens study the female form and appreciate every body. They are all about emulating and beautifying. If only all women could see themselves as the beautiful objects drag queens see.
2) The appropriate definition of bitch
Straight from the lips of Ms. Latrice Royale: Being In Total Control of Herself. Call me a bitch.
3) When someone is criticizing you, remind yourself it’s like water off a duck’s back.
4) I am a Glamazon
5) It’s important to be able to laugh at yourself. And no one can make you laugh at yourself better than Bianca Del Rio
6) If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?
