Drag Orphanage Podcast

In this episode we discussed highlights and lowlights from season 1. We discussed some of our guests, the episodes we really enjoyed and episodes that need improvement. We didn't hold back. We discussed the good, the bad and the drag of season 1.

We currently don't have a date for season 2. If you still want to listen to us, please make sure you visit our Facebook page where we will announce the date for season 2.

In this episode we rate the Top 10 Queens in the city of Hanoi. There are way more queens, kings and quings in the city. However this list is looking at entertainers who have been making an imprint right now in the city.

We didn't include ourselves on the list because we wanted to keep the list fair. If we included ourselves, we would be fighting for the number spot with each other.

We both ranked queens and then compared lists in order to come up with this list. Check it out.

In this episode, we discuss dating and drag life. This is the episode where we are super candid about what it's like to navigate Grindr as drag queens. We identify as men out of drag and being female illusionists comes with its own problems. We do however have our ways in making sure we secure some trade. Take a listen and find out what we do.

Makeup is one big aspect of everyone's drag. Makeup is usually the first step to transforming into your alter ego. Between the two of us, we have a lot of makeup. In this episode, we discuss which makeup products we use, what we use them for and how much they cost. If you're interested in doing drag and you don't know anything about makeup, this is the episode for you to know where to start.

Fiona Hi-Lee will share the word of the day with us at the end of the episode.

In this episode we dive into one of the most talented queens in Vietnam. She's a makeup master, a stylist, a graphic designer, she can sew and recently she added performing to her never-ending list of talents. She's the one everyone loves to have a piece of after a good roast, Eye Heart BBQ. We invited her to tell us more about her unique style of drag and what makes her such an original. Fiona Hi-Lee is also back in this episode to give us the Vietnamese word of the day.

A well-deserved condragulations to Envy Peru for snatching the crown on Drag Race Holland. Having said that, this entire season wasn't without critique. Fred's fashion, the lipsynchs, the weird editors, it was just one big mess. We talked about the finale and how we didn't really feel this season of drag race. The rest of the queens returned as well, looking absolutely stunning. Take a listen on how we felt about the season and how we think season 2 should happen.

We Chelsea Boy sashayed away in the last episode, It Takes Two. This week the Top 4 skipped and hopped "to the maxima" in the Maxima: The Rusical. We usually get a Rusical early in the season, but I guess Drag Race Holland is different. The runway category was RED, WHITE AND BLUE. Some outfits were outstanding, others were cute and others were just garbage mama. Take a listen at the shade we threw over the Rusical while giving the girls all the praise they deserved.

We said goodbye to miss Sedergine and we already miss her. This week's challenges are all about the number 2. From #SaveTheDate to #WeAreFamily. Make sure you have your tissues ready because this episode will have you shed a few tears. It's makeover day and it involves the contestants' relatives. Some really touching stories came through from this episode, especially from Mama Queen and Janey Jacké. If you didn't watch Drag Race Holland at all, you should definitely tune in for this episode. It's that episode that reminds you why we all love Drag Race so much.

After a really long time, The Boulet Brothers finally remembered that we mortals exist so they decided to take us on a journey of a resurrection. Dragula: Resurrection premiered with stars from the previous 3 season. Due to the current pandemic, the show was shot in 7 different cities with 7 different queens. They had to put together 3 legacy looks to prove that they've got the chops to win $20.000 and a chance to compete in the 4th season of the show. Take a listen to what we thought of the queens, their looks and the series in general. We definitely can't wait for Season 4 to hit our screens soon.

This week's episode of Drag Race Holland features the game we all love for every season, SNATCH GAME. This is usually the episode that divides the standouts and the filler queens. Was it the case with Drag Race Holland? Take a listen and find out. The runway category got us divided (no pun intended). The Half-Man and Half Queen category got us talking about gender politics, thanks to the stunning Mama Queen who came out as non-binary.
