RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2



It’s bbbbaaaaccckkkk!

RuPaul’s Drag Race has sashayed its way back onto national television for a second season. This time promises to be bigger and better than season 1; bigger challenges, bigger prizes, and bigger drama.

But the BIGGEST story for this season is that local drag and ImageOut icon Pandora Boxx is one of the 12 lucky contestants!!! Pandora has graced stages all over Rochester for a year or two (wink wink), and has graced ImageOut screens as part of our sold-out 2006 Flower City Flicks program in Gay (Means Happy) Show, which her alter-ego Michael Steck wrote, produced, and starred in as well. Steck was also at the helm of Mrs. Kasha Davis: The Life of an International Housewife Celebrity which appeared in the 2008 installment of FCF.

Even after just one episode, Ms. Boxx has proven to be, as the RPDR show website puts it, “a real contender” for the top prize, and has also squashed the old cliche that “nice gals always finish last.” How far will Pandora go? Ahem, in the competition I mean!

The LOGO network (a past ImageOut sponsor) show airs each Monday night at 9pm. If you don’t have LOGO at home, no need to fret! You can catch all the fabulousness at Rochester’s official Drag Race viewing party at Tilt Nightclub and Ultralounge. The event is even hosted by Pandora herself!

There are lots of places online where you can read about the show each week, and the ImageOut Blog is one of them! We’ll be blogging after each episode about the episode and the party, so be sure to check back here again and again!

We need to go to the Monday party next week. I have two other shows recording on my DVR already so I can't watch it live anyway. =)

The gals in season 2 don't seem to be of the same quality as season 1. I think the prize ($25,000) should have been increased to ($50,000) since the first season was so successful.

@Anonymous - So you think the fake ladies of Season 2 are not as good as Season 1? It might be too early to judge. There's already 4 or 5 girls from Season 2 that I like. But then again, the first one will always be special. =)

@Jess - I definitely need to go. I'll be gone for the rest of Feb so I will have to watch back episodes when I get back. Hopefully Pandora will still be in Race!
