Night Out: Drag Race Welcomes "Surprise" Judge & Guests

DRAG-LICIOUS: "You suck, Byron!" screamed the crowd. That's when I knew I was truly back at RedCap's Drag Race. Last season I was one of two main judges for the Thursday night show (hosted by Poison Waters), but this season I've only made a couple of guest appearances. Last night was one of them, as I was asked by Poison to fill in for a judge who had a last-minute change in his schedule. I was more than happy to be the "judge that didn't really matter," as the always hilarious Treyla Hitch kept referring to me. It was a chance to see, at mid-season, how much the ladies had improved. And, I have to say, they really have. Or I just went on a really good night. The challenge for the ladies was to come up with a showgirl costume that incorporated a flavor of Absolut vodka. And, my, the outfits were tasty and tasteful. Brita Filta basically came out on stage naked except for, what judge Maria called, a "cootch patch" (see above). And all the contestants really stepped up their game, none more so than Saturn (who last year performed as Sizzlean). I also have to give a shout out to Kourtini Capri, who had nearly everyone in tears on her "birthday" night. It was, indeed, a very special night. I even had a chance to visit with "The Jarics," Aden and Jordan, who are adult film actors and will be performing/stripping/dancing at RedCap on Saturday.
