Popping culture:Detox & Friends plump up with ‘Silicone’;Jinkx Monsoon channels Little Edie once mor

After pulling off hilarious hits such as “Boy Is a Bottom” and “Chow Down at Chick-fil-A,” recent RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Detox Icunt and Willam Belli, along with their good friend Vicky Vox, have come up with another great parody of/homage to pop culture.

Entitled “Silicone,” this love song to all things plastic surgery features Detox at the forefront, tongue planted firmly in a self-deprecating cheek. Take a peek.

And while we’re on a musical tip, the recently crowned winner of this season’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, Ms Jinkx Monsoon (#teamjinkx), has recently paired up with Two Dudes in Love to create a track called “Schizophrenic.”

The track features Jinkx once again channelling Little Edie Beale, in a spoken-word presentation about Beale’s alleged issues with mental health. Check it out.
