We here at The Sidecar are huge fans of RuPaul's Drag Race. Huge fans. HUGE. As in, we get together every Monday night and watch it, which we've done for the past 3 years. [SPOILER ALERT: If you are not caught up to date on the show and want to remain unspoiled, then stop now. You have been forewarned.] And we were so very upset by the elimination of our favorite queen, Latrice Royale.
In her own words, she's large and in charge, chunky yet funky. She's been a drag performer for over 20 years. She's a seasoned professional and -- due to her stint in jail -- has had a few hard knocks in her life. She has a great sense of humor and lots of wisdom. And she doesn't suffer fools gladly. Basically, she rules. Here's a taste of one of the other queens trying to read Latrice:
Mmmm-hmmm! She's the best. And the great people at NewNowNext have put together Latrice Royale's Top 5 moments from the show. Check this out:

Good God, Get A Grip, Girl! needs to be on a T-shirt. Looks like it already is.
Next to fellow contestant Sharon Needles, Latrice is the breakout star of the season. In fact, I think she'll follow in the footsteps of fellow Drag Race alum Pandora Boxx. Both have impeccable comic timing, both have dealt with some very rough patches in the past, and both have had tangles with judge Santino Rice on their outfits. Santino said that Latrice's outfit was like a couch from Rent-A-Center, and Madame Royale was not having it:
My money's on Latrice. In every single case of anything, my money's on Latrice. She's the best. I am sad to see her go from the competition, but her star will certainly sky-rocket after the end of this season. She's got it goin' on. It's Latrice Royale's World, y'all; we're just living in it.
One more thing: RuPaul crowns a Miss Congeniality every year, based solely on fan votes. Vote for Latrice here. You won't be sorry.
