If you really want to piss off a drag queen right now, send her a bouquet of roses. Normally, you’d think receiving roses would be a good thing, but if you’re getting them from fans of Valentina from RuPaul’s Drag Race, it could be interpreted as a threat.
Valentina, the Mexican American ingenue from RuPaul’s Drag Race was criticized by the other contestants on the show for not encouraging her fans to be nice to other goils, so she recently asked her fans to spread the love and send all the queens some roses.
Is she being nice or manipulative?
Today cosplay queen and sorority slut Fox E Kim joins us to talk about the battle royale that’s unfolded on Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and why reality TV shows rely a little too much on conflict to stay on the air.
