We love Pandora Boxx

We just watched the first episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race season two and we have to admit that we think Pandora Boxx is the bee’s knees. We’ve grown up with Pandora and fell in love with drag culture through her, so we might be a little biased, but, she really showed great sportswomanship on the first episode and managed to wow Kathy Griffin with her ginger wig. We have high hopes for Pandora Boxx. Let’s hope she wins the Drag Race!

It’s hard to believe that Maxwell’s BLACKSummer’sNight is on it’s forth single. After the first single “Pretty Wings” launched the album and won a Grammy, which we think is undeserved even if we love Maxwell. Two singles followed “Bad Habits” and “Cold.” This one seems to be a charity single because there’s a pink ribbon for breast cancer charities on it. Sweet.
