    S2Bonus: RPDR S15 Episode 11 Review (with Saareen)

    Hi loves! Welcome to a new bonus series of NaskoChats! I've always wanted to review my favorite TV show - RuPaul's Drag Race and here we are! I wanna thank my bestie, Saareen Junaid, for being my co-host for this bonus series. In this set of episodes, Saareen and I will review each new upcoming episode of Season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race, discussing queens' performances, looks, and overall storyline of the show. In this episode, we review episode 11 - Two Queens, One Joke. We critique and review the queens' performances in the stand-up comedy duo challenge and their runway looks - category is "Rip Her to Shreds". Hope you enjoy it! Additionally, I wanted to bring a spotlight on the bigoted and ludicrous bill passed in the state of Tennessee banning drag performances and making it illegal to cress-dress. As avid supporters and reviewers of all drag and Drag Race, this bill has affected many local performers and reflects on a ridiculous anti-drag sentiment rooted in bigotry and homophobia. Read more about the bill in this NYTimes: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/05/us/tennessee-law-drag-shows.html Here is an opinion piece that I also found informative and well-written: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/13/opinion/tennessee-anti-drag-laws.html If you want to donate and help support drag performers, donate to the ACLU Drag Defense Fund: https://action.aclu.org/give/support-drag-defense-fund?cid=7013r000001reowAAA&initms_aff=nat&initms_chan=eml&utm_medium=eml&initms=230307_dragdefense_appeal_sb&utm_source=sb&utm_campaign=dragdefense&utm_content=230307_lgbtq_appeal&ms_aff=nat&ms_chan=eml&ms=230307_dragdefense_appeal_sb&redirect=dragdefense Please consider reading, donating, and spreading awareness of this hate crime! We need change and it starts with us. Please tweet me with more specific organizations you want me to feature. The new opening and closing jingle were made by Laura Call-Gomez (aka laurita)!
