To the Queens of Canada’s Drag Race

Things have not been easy in 2020, For the world and for me personally.  Over the last 8 years I lost my Brother at 40, my father to a heart attack, and finally my Mother in 2018.  Depressed was not the word I would use for my pain.  I love rainbows and unicorns, always have.  So I kept filling my life bright objects and I realized I was trying to re-colour my dark life.  Then I found out about Canada’s Drag Race.  I have never seen the American version, but I have always loved Ru Paul for her courage and strength, something I had been lacking of late.  So I started watching, and experienced my first genuine joy for 2020.  Beautiful, elegant, amazing woman with courage and grace filled my living room.  I understand there has been a lot of hate being spread of late by those online who likely are having dark lives too, but they have decided to tap into the dark and try to spread it across the internet world.  I am sad for them.  I love this show,  These amazingly creative contestants and the bravery and talent it takes to stand on that stage in platform heels and pounds of clothing and makeup and make it look like it was the easiest thing in the world.  They inspire me.  They keep the light alive and I could not be more grateful.  Haters gonna hate as they say, but this girl is gonna love them, all of them,  Because in the end we are all in this together, and these girls are here to brighten up this cruddy year.  Thank you Drag Race.  Thank you Rita Baga.  Thank you Priyanka, that all of you fabulous bitches!!  You are the BEST.
