Update 3/24/2009
And the Winner is......Cameroooooooon!
Bebe Zahara Benet is the winner of America's next Drag Superstar. The between Bebe and Nina Flowers was nip and tuck, even after the the dance for the life segment, choosing a winner was tough. However, in the end, Bebe won partly because of her dedication to fighting AIDS in her home of Cameroon, plus she looks like Diana Ross from in the 70's. The fans online voted fashionista Nina Flowers "Miss Congeniality" and Rebecca Glasscock was a distant third.

I jumped on board RuPaul's Drag Race few week's ago, when VH1 was re-airing the show from Logo and after that I was hooked.
The show is like "America's Next Top Model" in the bizarro world, but every episode is compelling, trashy, stupid and fun to watch.
Tonight's season finale pits Bebe, Nina Flowers and Rebbecca Glasscock against each other for the crown of best drag queen. All three have different attributes and all three can win, but in the end I think the fashion forward style of Nina Flowers will beat out Cameroon's Bebe and the photogenic Rebbecca.
The one thing that I admired about the Queens on the show is that they are not afraid to be who they are. Too often people are afraid to be their true selves. It could be in relationships, the career that want and life you want to lead, but life is about being true to yourself.
So if a bunch of drag queens can get out there have no fear in wearing make up and dresses, we should be able to have no fear in anything we want to do in our lives as well.
But no tucking man....I still don't know those gals can pull that off without spraining something down there.
RuPaul's Drag Race season finale premiere at 10pm on Logo, followed by a reunion show @ 11pm. http://www.logoonline.com/shows/dyn/rupauls_drag_race/videos.jhtml
