The Gay Community Mourns A Major Loss With The Untimely Passing Of Donna Summer

Donna Summer Dies at 63 from Cancer.If you haven’t by now heard the tragic news, that Donna Summer has passed away. This is a major blow to the gay community. For me personally and dragqueendiaries.com the grieving has just begun. Here’s Nitrogen-E’s story:

I was just 8 years old and remember shopping with my grandmother at K-mart.  Back then in 1978 they sold vinyl records, and even had a section for music. With my grandmother at my side, I begged her to get me the “On The Radio” double LP. The cost back then was a whopping $10.73.

I took it home and it was on my record player the entire summer. Then I began to collect all of Donna Summer’s records. The double LP “Bad Girls”. Then I found the original 12″ Inch Record for “MacArthur Park Suite”. The records made me happy, and by the time I was 16, I had discovered that I was gay.

As a gay teenager I could always throw on a Donna Summer record and dance in my bedroom, it would be when I turned 19, and got my first DJ gig at a nightclub that I would discover what Donna Summer records did to the dance floor. It would pack the floor and every single person knew the words by heart. Shirts off, fists pumping in the air, it was a spectacle that I will never forget.

For ten years I would play the catalog Donna had recorded including, “Bad Girls”, “Love To Love You Baby”, “I Feel Love”, and a personal favorite “This Time I Know It’s For Real”.

Twenty years later Donna Summer would cross my path again, this time as the General Manager of a local “Johnny Rockets”. Me and my entire staff would dance to “Last Dance” to entertain our guests. I did that for three years. We were a hit!

Today at 11:44pm My Partner of 7 years sent me a text saying that my queen of pop and disco had succumbed to Cancer at 63. What a shock to the system. You never realize how important something is in your life until it’s gone. So with this final thought, “Let’s Dance the Last Dance…Tonight”

RIP Donna. You will forever be remembered for defining a new kind of music. “Disco.”

As I am sitting hear listening to the Donna Summer back catalog one thing is certain, there will NEVER be another Donna. So our dear readers, what are your memories of Miss Donna?

Don’t RuPaulogize! RuPaul’s Drag Race Has A New Superstar!

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4 The Final 3Condragulations, and the winner is…keep reading Hunties!

Last night we witnessed Herstory by the most epic reunion of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Season 4 of  RuPaul’s Drag Race will go down in TV history as one of the biggest shows on the Logo TV channel.  Michelle Visage narrated the opening of the show and in grand fashion we were treated to RuPaul on the big screen from the supposed set of his new movie.  He teased the audience into thinking that he was going to host the show via satellite. The screen blipped and scratched then the curtain went up.

RuPaul came out in the most gorgeous sequined red gown that had the audience gagging.  For the first time in RuPaul’s Drag Race history the reunion show was filmed in front of a live audience.  Many of the drag queen contestants had their family and loved ones into the audience, which I thought was a great touch.  In true drag race fashion we were treated to the usual spectacle gags and memorable one liner’s.

We got to see the first four sashayed contestants including “The Princess” who tried to steal the show and miserably failed.

The show had its first controversy in Willam, the queen got booted off the show because RuPaul said he broke the rules.  Now he might ask what role the break, it wasn’t as bad as everyone thought and believe me the rumors were swirling. Willam just had his boyfriend visit him in the hotel.  So to all you season five hopefuls of the keep your man at home!

Miss congeniality was awarded to Latrice Muthafuckin Royale .  We got to find out that Drag U is returning to television in a revamped version in June. This is great news because last season’s Drag U was a big snooze.  What I most wanted to know, and they didn’t answer was when RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars was going to air. The show teased on the side bar that it would air soon, and my guess is that it won’t air till Drag U Season 3 has aired.

Chad Michaels was first to be interviewed and his professionalism was awe inspiring.  Phi Phi O’hara was interviewed and I can believe a word out of her mouth. She did tell us though that she knew the show made alot of fans that don’t like her. We got to see her mom in the audience and I was almost touched by his fake tears…Almost!  RuPaul also let us know that joining the faculty of Drag U was Latrice Royale. This is a great choice and not that big of a surprise.

And the winner is…  Sharon Needles! Remember folks dragqueendiaires.com called this in January and when it was announced me and my husband leaped off the couch in gleeful joy.

So all you fans of drag race what was your favorite moment last night?  Was it Willam’s confession, was it the new catch phrase RuPaulogize, or was it Sharon snatching the crown?

For me it was all that and more. Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race is looking to be bigger and better. Now will January hurry the fuck up and get here?

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 episode 13 The Final Three WE STILL DON’T HAVE A WINNER!

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4 Climaxed without a winner

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4 Climaxed without a winner

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 episode 13 The Final Three ***WARNING SPOILER ALERT***

April 23, 2012.

So tonight and Rupaul’s drag race season four we were treated to an inside look at how a music video is made. The final three including RuPaul got to make a new music video for Ru’s 2010 CD “Glamazon”.
Included in tonight’s telecast was season two’s Tyra Sanchez and season three’s winner Raja. Tyra and Raja were all too happy to announce that the final three would be acting with Rupaul herself. Each of the final three got to spend some time with the two previous season winners to get coaching and acting lessons and also a little drag motherly advice. While Tyra and Raja day and add any suspense to the show it still was nice to see the two together.
Analyzing the final threes performance:


Phi Phi O’Hara was throwing her usual shade and continually throwing Sharon under the bus. Chad the most professional and out of the three continued to shine and Sharon had trouble with your dancing steps.
The most fun of the show was watching Rupaul, do her best Starboogie performance. RuPaul slapped jihad around like a rag doll we could only wish she would have done that to Phi Phi. Phi Phi got sprayed by Ru’s Glamazon Enlarge Spray, while Sharon got repeatedly punched in the gut. For my money Sharon won this hands down although Chad was impressive as well.
Analyzing the final three is runway:


Phi Phi O’Hara: the look was hot but wasn’t so crazy about the makeup. Cheap eye jewelry on top of the crease is just not a good look on her. Her shoes were cute, the talk was tight but for our money she looked like she belonged in any average nightclub.
Chad Michaels: two words, ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. She worked that versaci like it was going out of style.
Sharon Needles: Gave us the goth that we crave, her medusa like fingers and spooky eye’s were the right touch that totally defines who she really is.
RUPAUL’S SHOCKING TWIST: in the first ever for the show Rupaul’s announced that the winner for season for will not be crowned until next week’s reunion show. So they are you have that it folks! Geenah a shocked to say the least, at the end of the show we were left by telling the show via Facebook or Twitter to say who the winner should be. Is this American Idol? Now the public gets to choose the next American drag superstar? Tune in next week to see who gets the crown and the $100,000.

So Did RuPaul Fuck it up, or is she really torn who should win?

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 Episode 12, Ru-Rewind The Glamazon Edition

Sharon Needles Projected Winner on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4.

Sharon Needles Projected Winner on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 Episode 12

First aired April 16, 2012.

Opening on tonight’s telecast was Michelle Visage, lip synching to RuPaul’s “Glamazon”. What I didn’t know is that Michelle was on RuPaul’s talk show for 80 episodes back in the late nineties. As she came out all dolled up and drag it has rolling on the floor gagging for more.

RuPaul’s and Michelle did their stick and it was comedic gold. On the rewind episode we finally got to see the contestants audition tapes. Incidentally yours truly has sent an audition tape for season five and if you’re reading this before April 30th  you can vote for me at this link:

http://bit.ly/HSPhBY

The audition tapes for some of the queen’s were slightly snoozy, but Sharon Needles was the best one yet. I love how her and her boyfriend were just so damn cute.
In cuts we haven’t seen before we were treated to an extravaganza like no other. This season of RuPaul’s Drag Race had bigger and better celebrities including Elvira and Natalie Cole. The outtakes of the celebrities were all that impressive I think Geenah could have done better.

And then there were three, Chad Michaels, Sharon Needles, and Phi Phi O’Hara. As we pointed out before the season began, Sharon Needles was going to win, and we will still stick by that statement. I love Miss Chad Michaels but she needs to have her won show in Vegas. As for Phi Phi, if she wins a lot of people are going to be pissed. No one likes her negative attitude, but quite frankly she is just showing us her competitive side. So squirrelfriends who are you hoping to win will have to find out on tonight’s big finale.

This is Geenah May Clark, reminding you to not to F**K it up!

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 Episode One RuPocalypse Now

RuPaul’s Drag Season 4 entitled RuPocalypse Now entered into our living rooms on January 30th 2012.

On January 30 2012 a brand new season of Rupaul’s Drag Race race began. This season looked like it could be the best one yet and to our delight it had us gagging right from the beginning. The thirteen queens with sickening looks were, The Princess, Jiggly Caliente, Willam, Phi Phi O’Hara, Latrice Royale, Dida Ritz, Chad Michaels, Kenya Michaels, Lashauwn Beyond, Madame LaQueer, Milan, Sharon Needles and Alisa Summers.
In the first challenge the ladies went into a parking lot and had to fend off zombies. The first 10 seconds of the challenge you could tell that this was going to be an extravagant season four. The production of Rupaul’s Drag Race, has gotten better every season since its debut in February 2009.
Right from the get go Sharon Needles, Chad Michaels, and The Princess captured our interest. This episodes challenge was slightly boring but entertaining to say the least.  On the runway Sharon Needles spewed blood and won the challenge, marking her a fierce contender. Landing in the bottom two were Alisa Summers and Jiggly Caliente.

What we couldn’t figure out is why Alisa sashshayed away…but no harm was done. RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 was underway and baby it was gonna get hot!

 

 

 

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 Facebook Contest, T and Shade

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 5 Hopeful Geenah May Clark

Hey it's 4/20

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5′s T and Shade:

It’s been three days since RuPaul’s Drag Race season 5 began voting for the general public. So far the results have been quite uninspiring. The leader of the pack has almost 6000 votes, but that doesn’t stop her from breaking the rules by violating the 4 minute mark that all contestants were to abide by. We all know how great RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 will be with the addition of the fan vote
Dragqueendiaries.com has been your source for makeup tips T shade and gossip for the last three years. Because we have been your source of entertainment we have also entered a contestant too race for your votes for season five. You may not have met her yet, but she is a 30 year veteran and her name is Miss Geenah May Clark.
At 41 years young this fierce and sexy drag queen has come back to the stage to take her crown. What is so amusing about this contest, is that 16 of the contestants have broken the rules. As a contestant myself I don’t feel this is fair. We all know what happened to Willam on season four of RuPaul’s drag race.
If you would like to vote for me to be on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 that would be great but don’t vote for a contestant that is simply broken the rules. As you’re going to learn Geenah May Clark don’t take no shit, and will throw shade if needed. These rule breaking bitches need to learn some class, like Miss Penny Tration who by the way is your number two queen. This divas generosity should not go unnoticed she was willing to help me out and continue her stride for excellence.

VOTE FOR GEENAH MAY CLARK: http://bit.ly/HSPhBY voting ends on 4/30. You can vote once every 24 hours!

First Listen: Madonna’s “MDNA” Madges Best Yet?

When you rack up all the accolades that bestow Madonna, it’s hard to believe that “MDNA” is only Madonna’s 12th studio album and her first for her new label Live Nation. With the record setting Super Bowl Halftime show behind us, die hard fans like me were wagging their tails to see what she would offer us next. Let me first say that at first I hated this CD. Upon a second listen this A.M. with fresh ears, I can now say that this maybe better then “Ray of Light”. OK, this is the best Madonna CD Yet!

So let’s get into the first listen of Madonna’s “MDNA” (Deluxe Version)

Track Number 1: “Girl Gone Wild”  - This track is the official second single or third if you discard “Masterpiece”. This track sounds like an outtake of “Sorry” from Confessions. The string opening is a little higher in pitch than “Girl”. When the bass drops you know that this song is gonna JAM! It’s the perfect single to lead “MDNA“. I predict that this will be the song of the summer, and will be the Gay Pride pick as well.

Track Number 2: “Gang Bang” When I first listen to this I thought it was weird hearing Madonna say “Die you Bitch!” then I realized that this was maybe a dig at Guy Ritchie. This is another dark uptempo song that is really heavy in the bass department.

Track Number 3: “I’m Addicted” takes us into the late 80′s club, the synthy bass runs and flows like a great old Depeche Mode song. The lyrics here are nothing special, but the song works.

Track Number 4: “Turn Up the Radio” This will probably be the favorite track of many, as it is with me. This is a fun summer jam, that will most likely be a single. Lyrics “get me outta my cage” and “Turn Up The Radio” will have most fans singing along after a couple listens.

Track Number 5: “Give Me All Your Luvin” I have to admit I hate the album version. I was fortunate enough to get a hold of the demo version before they destroyed it with Nicki Minaj and MIA. This song was strong before them, so I’m not sure what Madonna was thinking.

Track Number 6: “Song Girls” Another Techno Jam. For me this song is a take or leave it song, it’s not a song you would skip, but it’s pretty vanilla.

Track Number 7: “Superstar” Madonna singing Oh La La, Ummm cheesy but guess what, it’s so sugar pop that you can’t help but smile and start singing along. This is Madonna having the most fun.

Track Number 8: “I Don’t Give A” What better way to follow such a sunshine song with Madonna’s most personal song to date. This is the best song for me on  MDNA. Madonna finally gives us a peek into her failed marriage to Guy Ritchie, and it’s right on track. “I’m gonna live fast and gonna live right”

Track Number 9: “I’m A Sinner” This is MDNA’s “Ray of Light” at 1:15 into the song, it breaks down to just Madonna and a Guitar. Does Madonna’s voice after 50 sound stronger? or is it just me?

Track Number 10: “Love Spent” As MDNA gets closer to the end, we get this slower pop gem, haunting vocals, with equally haunting strings that are lush.

Track Number 11: “Masterpiece” What can be said? Golden Globe winning song, and well deserved. This song is so catchy and beautiful and maybe Madonna’s best pop ballad since “Bad Girl”.

Track Number 12: “Fallin Free” This is a strange way to end such a great CD. MDNA closes with a Ballad that is stripped down to just piano, strings and Madonna’s great voice. I’m sorry to say this but does Madonna have a slight cold on this track? Fans could do you hear it too? I think this song is gorgeous but it should have made CD 2 and “I Fucked Up” could have made it.

DELUXE EXTRAS ON MDNA:

1. Beautiful Killer – This is more “Ray of Light” sound. Good enough that it could have made the CD.

2. I Fucked Up – This should have made the CD. A Great pop gem.

3. B-Day Song – Fun but a throw away song.

4. Best Friend – Is a techno mess, and not in a good way. I think this was recorded for “Hard Candy”.

5. Give Me All Your Luvin (Party Rock Mix) – This is a really fun remix with LMFAO.

OVERALL – This could be Madonna’s best, one thing is for sure…THE QUEEN IS BACK. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry can not hold a candle so let’s get this fact clear. Should you buy MDNA Deluxe? for the extra 5 tracks, meh…I’ll leave that to you…

So are you excited that MDNA is finally here? Drop a comment in the space below!
