RuPaul Finally Gives Us The Born Naked Music Video

There has been a void this week without a "new" episode of RuPaul's Drag Race. Well, there was a new episode, but it was all crap we've seen before. All old crap with one exception -- The "Born Naked" music video. Ru has graced us with the presence of a beautiful music video with our three top ladies. Season seven is almost over, but this video will live forevah!

This may be my favorite RuPaul video ever. I'm talking even non Drag Race versions and videos too. I love everything about this. First of all, it was a bit of an aging song, especially since it's from the last album and not his newest, so putting a fun remix on it was a genius idea. Combine that with the fun concept, and tying together the whole season with the top three, and you have one amazing video.

The whole video is made up to look like and old VHS recoding, and it really works with the feel of everything. RuPaul summons to life three mannequins, Ginger, Pearl, and Violet, to become his new drag superstars and they begin taking over. Though there's not much of a plot to it, it really does keep your attention with it's concept, and the fact that we get to see outfits from all throughout the season for the top three. They really put a lot of thought into this one, and it shines far beyond any other video that has spawned from this show.

I feel like Ru finally got the disconnect from previous seasons. In the other seasons' videos, we only saw Ru interact with them in small bits, or not at all. He is really in there with them throughout the whole video, and even has a throwback to his days of androgyny when he first started doing drag by having a wig, little, makeup, and some glasses on during certain shots with the girls.

Let's face it. The remix works, the style works, the naked pit crew really works (where the hell do I get the uncensored version of this!?). It's all go. Plus thank god we got to see that amazing Scottish garment that Violet used in the first episode again. Praise Jesus!

Help Wendy Ho Make Her New Video

Wendy Ho is an entertainer in every sense of the word. She knows how to work it, whether it's a full club or a street corner. Well she's spent the past one hundred years (a rough estimate) bringing joy to your life, so now it's your chance to bring some joy to hers. By joy I mean money.

OK, so let's get more specific. Wendy isn't just asking for money and not offering up anything in return. She knows that to get the coins, she's got to have the products, and the biggest product here is the upcoming music video. She's turned to Kickstarter to help wrangle in her fans to get the funds she needs to finally have a video to her favorite song from her catalog, "Fuck Me". If she reaches her set goal of $7,500, we can get this video in all it's raunchy glory.

Don't go thinking that a music video is all she has to offer. In true Kickstarter style, there are various levels with set increments and rewards for each level of donation. These rewards include CDs, t-shirts, a spot as an extra on her music video, and most importantly a ho-bag. Who doesn't want a ho bag!?

Look, the point is that Wendy is a crazy talented woman. She has fronted the bills for everything she's done so far, and I really think that she deserves help for once. I've seen her live show, and I own her albums, so trust me when I say that Wendy Ho never disappoints. I have no clue what she has planned for "Fuck Me" but I know it will be amazing. And if you got the bucks, she'll even ho you out in it, too.

As of this posting, Wendy is right at the 3,000 mark, putting her just shy of half way. We still got another twenty-five days, making this totally doable. Let's give something back to the lady who's been ho-in herself out for all these years.

Former Drag Racer Delta Work Walks Right In With New Single

It's been quite a while since we've heard new things out of RuPaul's Drag Race season three favorite Delta Work. She has been working her ass off touring, the heart of drag, while her sisters have been branching out to music and TV, but she's not going to be left in the dust. Delta is making sure you see her with her brand new single "The Walkin' Blues (Walk Right In, Walk Right Out)".

I have to say that Delta was on the toughest season of Drag Race and she completely held her own throughout the entire competition. She is the queen that showed me that big girls can be more than just funny. She was always glamorous, and she knew it. It doesn't get said enough, but Delta completely changed the game and paved the way for other big glamorous ladies such as Latrice Royale.

When it comes to the song, I was very pleasantly surprised. Often times tracks coming out of the show aren't the best, but when you take factors such as Delta taking her time and that she's teamed up with JRED Music, known for their solid releases, she was definitely in a good position for this."Walkin' Blues" is a fun track that balances funny and solid dance very well. While it has a few comedic moments, it really is more about making you get up and dance.

In a world full of queens feeling like the only way to get noticed is with a parody, the name of the song had me a bit worried. I was afraid it was a cover track due to it's rather similar title to a classic 70s track, but thankfully she's taken a different route. The song is cram packed with sex appeal, and it beams confidence, which is something I've always respected and expected from Delta.

You can grab the track on iTunes. Be sure and let her know that we want a video!

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7 Episode 12 [Review]

The time has come! We are finally going to take this rag-tag group of "top girls" to the next level and get to know who the top three are. It's going to be a weird one, with all of the show's major stars (Katya, Trixie, Max, Miss Fame, Trixie again) have sashayed away. It seems like they had a good idea who was going to the top no matter what horrid mistakes they made. Regardless, the top this year is far more balanced and fair than in years past, so let's see where this ride takes us.

Osvaldo Supino Reveals Third New Single Is "Wet Dream"

Late last year, my main Italian squeeze Osvaldo Supino released a new album called Behind The Curtain, and like an idiot I missed out on reviewing it. Luckily he hasn't given up on this project just yet, and has released yet another single off of it. This one is hot, and definitely worth checking out. Lets look at "Wet Dream".

Osvaldo has always been a really fun and cheeky artist. His songs always flirt with sexuality, and rarely ever come out and say one way or another, although he is self identified as gay. It's so great to have music that the LGBT population can relate to without being overly flamboyant or out there. The track honestly feels like something Britney Spears would have recorded, making Osvaldo very radio-ready. I'm not sure how far his fame reaches in his home land, but he could do very well in the United States.

The song has a lot of fun lines like "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?". I have always loved his humor, and it really shines through here. This song was one of my favorites when listening through the album for the first time, so I'm glad to see this was chosen as a single. Though there has been no official word, it is pretty safe to assume that he is going to be making a video for this one.

While lyrically it's not anything ground breaking, Osvaldo really knows his way around pop music and he definitely knows how to pump out some fun music that can get your booty shaking. Mr. Supino really should be a much larger LGBT icon than he is, at least here in the United States. He's cute, funny, and makes good music. What more could you ask for?

If you like what you hear, run over to iTunes and grab Behind The Curtain and give this man some love!

Skin Wars Contestant Sammie Bartko Releases Feel Good Pop Jam "Beautiful"

Sammie Bartko is a lot of things. She's a mother, she's a body painter, she's about to be a reality TV star, and most importantly of all (for the purposes of this blog, anyway), she is a vocalist with a lot of drive and passion. She is definitely making use of the spotlight on her currently by putting out her first ever single. "Beautiful" is a wonderful song by a wonderful lady, and I think it deserves a listen or two from you.

Sammie Bartko is a really nice lady. She is a very talented body painter, and I really feel like Skin Wars starting next month will only help boost her career on all fronts. One of those fronts is music. She apparently has been working on music for a long time, providing back ground vocals for various dance music tracks over the years. "Beautiful" is her first attempt at making music on her own (with a little help from her man, of course), and it's a fun song.

The track is a poppy upbeat song, a bit of a step away from her dance music roots. The track has a lot of fun guitars, and has a distinct singer songwriter feel. The message behind the track is a very positive one, mirroring her very sweet nature. I actually reached out to her for a comment, and she responded -- quickly -- with these musings on the song.

"The song is aimed at creating a better self image in people. We are all beautifully & wonderfully made divine canvases. Media tries to convince us that if we don't look a certain way or have a certain figure we are flawed."

 It was so fun and interesting to see the many facets that the artists of Skin Wars have from Nicole's burlesque to Gear's graffiti, it's obvious that they all have different things going on past body painting, but seeing a different side of the new crop of artists before the show even started was crazy. I look forward to getting to know Sammie better, both trying to get an interview as well as seeing her work and personality on GSN.

For now you can grab her single on iTunes. Also be sure and catch her on the season premier of Skin Wars on GSN June 10.

No. No no no no no no no. No. Just no. I can't say why before the cut, but no. Rupaul, just no. Michelle Visage, no. Assorted other producers and personnel, NO. Just no. Please don't do this to me. But the positive side is there is Hello Kitty. And Rebecca Romijn. BUT NO!
