Ayyyy, the bloggings of Manolo are like the bon bon chocolates – so tasty and so rich! I have only now caught up with all of this season’s episodes, and Manolo’s corresponding recaps, and it is like eating an entire box of chocolates at once – I am a little woozy, but very satisfied.

Am I the only person in the entire blogosphere who thought Blayne’s atrocious design should have at least landed him in the bottom three? I mean, the nasty thing started falling apart on the runway! What the hell?

Oh, I am so hoping Terri makes the final three and wins this whole thing!

But I am really getting to be wishing Keith off my screen even more than the ridiculous three-headed Blayne/Stella/Suede monster.

Lora, It’s true Lame didn’t want anything “costumey”.

Terri’s outfit would have been more Drag if it had big pointy JP Gaultieresque bustier added to the corset/ obi thingy, I think..

I know, right? This episode stays on the DVR so I can watch it whenever I want. And I agree, Jerrell’s creation was a bit tame, but so was everything Lame wore. It’s about her beautiful face, remember. Blayne’s falling apart Gay Jurasic Park was far worse and should have been in the bottom three.

I have to say I HATED Terri’s outfit. It’s wasn’t feminine enough to be a drag queen outfit. I agreed with Joe’s win, but wonder how much he was assisted by Varla’s FABULOUSNESS on the runway?

I want to marry Tim. I think I could even deal with him not liking my icky girl parts.

What Joe did was truly magical: When Varla came onto the runway, she made everyone fall in love with her. If you could wathc her do her little pose & not be charmed silly, you have no heart.

Terri’s costume, while impressive, was too masculine/science fiction anime for the challenge. If anyone was overlooked it was Leanne, whose creation was quite remarkable in its own right.

I knew Joe had it locked up when he said, “I just need to think about it as if I were making a Halloween costume for my daughter.” I think that really captures part of the drag queen spirit: the joy and freedom and over-the-top fabulosity a little girl feels when she’s in dress up. When Varla Jean came sashayng down the runway, you could tell that’s exactly how she felt.

Many thanks to the Despina and the Lady DunBraidh for these corrections. As usual, the Manolo has written in haste and repented in leisure.

Miss J MUST catch this show in rerun. She has missed nearly all of PR this season but The Manolo’s brilliant retelling has caught her interest.
