Popping culture: It’s a drag

Although it’s too early to tell who will win this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, it is easy to see who is the most entertaining.

I’ve already talked about Ms Jinkx Monsoon, but I recently discovered that someone has created a Twitter feed dedicated entirely to Alyssa Edwards’ face.

Genius.

Speaking of genius, I recently found out that West Coast drag legend Jackie Beat is having a bit of a hard time with ill health. In fact, Beat is now in need of a double hip replacement. Beat has gone the crowd-sourcing route to help with the cost of the operation, since Beat doesn’t have insurance. “I have ever given you a chuckle or made you crack a smile; please slip a

little something into the brandy snifter here on mama’s piano,” Jackie says. You can donate by checking out their Give Forward page.

To remind you of how awesome Jackie is, check out “Beaver.”
