I got the flu recently and spent two days holed up in bed, feeling very sorry for myself. I needed something entertaining to watch, but nothing that would take too much effort or use too much brain power. And then RuPaul's Drag Race sashayed in.
I’d seen quite a few episodes of the show on DsTV over the last year or two, but I’d never binge-watched an entire season.
Until now.
It was probably the best decision I’ve ever made. Seriously, I’ve never been so entertained, amazed, overjoyed, and awe-struck all at once.
You get to see what it takes to get good looking boys to turn into absolutely gorgeous girls while they do mini challenges, have bitchy cat fights, and teach the world drag queen terminology like ‘hunty’ and 'kai kai'.
And the catchphrases! The glorious catchphrases! There are A LOT of them. And basically every moment of this show is gifable.
So, I present to you, RuPaul’s Drag Race GIFs to use in your everyday lives.
But don’t spend them all in one place.
