Hi! I'm Chris, your friendly drag dilettante. I'm glad you're joining me for Season Five!
I started paying attention to RuPaul's Drag Race embarassingly recently, but I've never been a half-assed fan of anything. I've absorbed RuPaul's Drag Race at lightning speed--seriously, I've got trivia for days--and I'm quickly catching myself up on long-form drag history and culture. I'm loving the journey.
I adore anything performed live--theater, drag, concerts--and before I was a RuPaul's Drag Race nerd, I was an indie rock nerd. My other favorite shows are Community and Parks and Recreation, and my favorite low-budget, campy '70s movies are Starcrash and Death Race 2000, available on Netflix!
My favorite hobby is fucking with language. Tortured puns and awkward portmanteaus give me life! My recapping role model is Rich Juzwiak, and my recapping style is heavily influenced by his old Project Runway and America's Next Top Model recaps. (When the second season of Project Runway was broadcasting, I was rooting for Andrae and Santino but I was living for FourFour.)
I'm a queer kid, a staunch ally to and enthusiastic member of the queer community. Incidentally, I'm also a cis woman married to a cis guy. I am not the sort of irritating straight girl who talks about "my gays" and makes scenes at drag bars.
I'm a Southerner, a child of the 1980s, and almost-always a sweetheart. I live in Atlanta with my dude, my two cats, and my two dogs.
There's a lot of love in this house. Welcome!
