I never would have predicted that this man's life trajectory/face would have diverged so completely from that of Macaulay Culkin.
A competition that is based mostly on what supplies a person can bring will inherently advantage the wealthier participants, but I think the best part of RPDR is that they are tested on so many levels. They do a great job showing just how diverse a skill set you need to make it in drag. I wouldn't watch if it was simply who could buy the prettiest outfit. So while I do hate when a contestant gets ripped for a "cheap" outfit or wig, they do have plenty of opportunities to shine in the singing, dancing, stand up, lip sync, sewing, make up, modeling, improv, reading, arts and crafts, etc. parts of the competition.
Just like when Kim wanted Caitlyn to cut her hair when she married Kanye.

Sorry this is what happens when I think about Foxwoods. That joke was A++, though.
I definitely cried listening to her being interviewed on NPR this morning.
Thanks for imbedding those Jos Truitt tweets. I got into an argument with a guy at a bar recently about Caitlyn Jenner (he was in the she's a republican gay hating monster and aren't I a hero for using her preferred pronouns when she's such a bigot camp) and that first tweet sums up the point I was trying to make so elegantly.
I took an entire art history class on ISG and the museum! My thesis for the class explored the mythologies behind all the ancient art in the courtyard (depictions of Medusa, Diana, satyrs, etc.) and how the narratives could be strung together to tell us something about ISG's feelings on womanhood. It was a little bit of a stretch, but it was hard not to try and read into every aesthetic decision she made. My take on the number of madonnas and pieces like the child's sarcophagus (which is placed smack dab in the middle of the museum) were that ISG really upped her collecting in part as a distraction from the grief of losing her 2 year old son.
If you're going to Elizabeth's, go for breakfast/brunch. I find dinner to be super over-priced.
