This Sunday shall begin an ultimate contest played out between grown men costumed in skin-tight vestment men who have toiled against one another to claim their spots at the pinnacle of their field, and they shall do battle amidst an overflowing of pageantry with all the nation, nay, the world bearing witness!
Oh, the Super Bowl is also this Sunday.

But back to what we were talking about before: This Sunday, the RuPaul’s Drag Race Battle of the Seasons Tour, “Condragulations,” kicks off in Las Vegas, featuring your favorite queens from seasons past. The tour crosses the country, visiting more than 40 (!!) cities before playing Europe and the U.K.! (See below for a full list of dates and cities.)
All info, including links for tickets, can be at rupaulbots.com
Among the queens slated to perform: Adore Delano Alaska 5000, Ben Dela Crème, Bianca Del Rio, Courtney Act, Darienne Lake, Detox, Ivy Winters, Jiggly Caliente, Jinkx Monsoon, Manila Luzon, Pandora Boxx, Phi Phi O’Hara, Raja and Sharon Needles. The lineup changes city-by-city. With this cast, antics will likely ensue; fortunately Ms. Michelle Visage will serve as ringmaster to keep them all in line. (Or to stir them up.)
As the tour moves on this winter and spring we want to know what you think! Be sure to tell us what happens when you see the girls in your town.
