A game of he said, she said, which queen said what for ‘Drag Race’ newbies
RuPaul’s Drag Race fan or not, the overarching impact of drag on mainstream pop culture just cannot be denied, something season four winner Sharon Needles put perfectly when she said: “As drag queens, I think of ourselves as funhouse mirrors. We reflect pop culture back to the world.”
There’s certainly no denying either that the now Emmy Award-winning search for America’s Next Drag Superstar has provided audiences with the catchiest of catchphrases, words to live by, one-liners and sometimes no-liners (*tongue pop*) as well as entire monologues to last us all a decade. It helps, of course, to have this dynamic wrapped beautifully in a little sass and a quick wit, on four-inch heels and with a mug beat by the gods.
