Satan's Cheerleader

A few more newer drag pics! Grace is growing up so fast!

Ok so I have very little to say about the last day of prelims because Deva had solo talent, which I can’t find any kind of record of at all and Mary had gown. Tbh did not love Mary’s gown. It didn’t fit her the way it really needed to. It was definitely constructed for someone taller than her.

ANYWAY now it is their night off for the review show aaaand category awards! They are awarding first place per group per category. So far they’ve announced male interview and evening gown. Deva won group 3 in male interview! Wooo!! cannot say I am surprised, honestly.

What DID surprise me was that she didn’t win her group in evening gown??? I was out with a bunch of my sisters last night and several of them are in the America system as well and we were all GAGGED by Deva’s gown and thought for sure she would take her group at LEAST. So I’m kinda surprised. Also I’m shocked that Kelly Ray won her group in gown in a plain long sleeved orange sequin gown that she competed in 2 years ago buuuuut I don’t make the rules :P

The results are coming out painfully slow so I will update this post as the night goes on and make predictions about the top 10. I think it is safe to say Suzy Wong will make top 10 again.

EDIT: This is such a varied group of group winners! It is killing me that they are only announcing the number one in each group per category. It is kinda making me nervous. I guess I can just hope that Dev and Mary’s collective scores were high enough to get them into to top 10 rather than just one high score and a bunch of low ones. I’m confident Deva placed high in every category. I’m really looking to see how Mary places on her first go.

So prelim day 3 is about to begin, so let’s go over day 2!

Group 3 competed in evening gown and whoa I am impressed! This group is kinda being viewed as the weaker group because it has the fewest number of returners/big names. Deva might be the only one who has placed top 10 in the last few years I think. But regardless of experience, these girls brought some gowns! It might actually be easier to list the ones I didn’t like cause there were so many really good ones. Although, what is with this funky puke green colour everyone is wearing? Not a fan. There were some really beautifully constructed and fitted gowns, but the colours were not cute. No ma’am. Dev’s gown was stuuunning. Only she would walk up into Miss America in a WHITE gown and a cape and make it look sickening. Biiiitch.

I also got to talk to her a bit today. I’ve been assured that her final night gown is even better so look forward to that, kids! AND she also said she actually feels really confident this year which makes me SO happy.

I didn’t pay too much attention to the solo talents, to be honest. I don’t really have anybody in group 1. Group 2 had interview and big talent. I will say I am happy to see lots of different talent concepts. If you’ve followed MGA in the past you know you couldn’t get through 3 contestants without seeing a Liza or a Reba. This lack of video thing is killing me though because I really wanted to see Mary’s talent. I work with her best friend every week so he was really talking up her routine. The only video I got to see was a snippet of Kelly Ray’s talent. I know she absolutely killed last year. This year I don’t know. I think she will be top 10 again, but we will see on Sunday.

OK! So yesterday MGA17 started and I was soooo pumped. Like I mentioned before my girl Deva Station has returned to the national final and my friend Mary Nolan is debuting on the national stage this year!

So yesterday Deva competed in the prelims for male interview and big talent! She looked great for interview, I know that’s her best category so yayayayay! Unfortunately, no one has posted videos for the big talents, but I saw some pictures plus rehearsal footage and Dev’s talent looked aaaaamazing! She seems really calm and confident this year which is huge for her and I am super excited and proud :)

Mary had solo yesterday. Again, no videos, but she looked great!

Group 1 competed in Evening Gown, which is the easiest category to judge from afar. I have to say I wasn’t stunned by most of the gowns. Some standouts to me were Imani Nye Black, Kimora Lee Matthews, and Barbra Seville.

I am suuuper excited to see Dev compete evening gown tonight. Last year I cried a little when I saw her gown so I can only imagine what her new one looks like. I remember talking her through the design, but she always keeps the final product secret so I only have an idea based on the photos we sent back and forth and she told me the colour. I’m ready.

Would people care if I posted Miss Gay America commentary on here leading up to and during the pageant?

And I mean “care” as in actually being interested in reading coverage of MGA, not “do you mind if this is on my blog” because I’m gonna post what I want obvi.

I do just have to be open and honest, though, that my commentary will be slightly biased because my best friend and another local friend are competing so my posts will focus on them a little bit more, but otherwise I’ll be neutral. I have no problem complimenting people I don’t know or critiquing my friends.

A few photos from two shows I did last week! :)

I learned the true meaning of sisterhood last night.

Real sisters are each others’ biggest fans. They lift each other up. They celebrate each others’ successes. They laugh until they cry and cry until they laugh. They push each other and take care of each other.

These three girls are quickly becoming some of my best friends. We competed against each other last night and there was no malice, no negativity, only support and a desire to see each other perform to our best abilities. Even though two of us did not make the top 5, you saw nothing but beaming smiles on our faces because we were so proud of our sisters who finished 4th and 1st!!

Planning for a new photoshoot! I’ve always had a pretty dark aesthetic idea for Grace, but I am really wanting to push her even darker >:) I am really excited for this shoot. Just gotta get some fabric to finish the costume!

I’m also working on a new production number for a competition. I have a feeling it is gonna be over the audience’s heads but I am hoping the judges understand it enough to appreciate it. It also involves a lot of very specifically constructed costume pieces that I will probably never be able to use ever again soooo

My play along for this week’s magazine cover challenge on TDR All Stars!

I wanted to do a version of my favourite magazine, Revolver, and added blurbs about my three favourite bands who all happen to be fronted by badass women <3
