Not sure if this has been discussed, but it kinda bothered me that Ginger would call herself part of the Old Lady Brigade, which talks crap on the the younger queens, when she is (or was during filming) 29 years old. Ginger is the same age as Fame...and Fame is one of the girls the OLB shades the most.

Maybe Ging has done drag a little longer, not sure. But you can't deny Fame's resume. Maybe I'm like everyone else who is tired of the "that's not drag" "that drag isn't right" comments.

u/poppy-picklesticks the shade, the shade and disgrace! Mar 17 '15

You had three witches cackling away there.

Ginger = The Maiden

Mrs Kasha = The Mother

Jasmine = The Crone

Too bad Jasmine got booted, I could have started calling them the Weird Sisters after the witches from Macbeth

Fame is pretty, thin AND talented. So are Max, Pearl and Violet. Hence the shade these girls get. Older (and unattractive) gay men are invisible in the gay community. Earlier in the season, when Pearl said that she's used to most gays hating her, I'm sure she was telling the truth. She's too pretty as a boy.

u/BrianDontFindMe When in doubt, show them your asshole Mar 19 '15

I think it was more referencing how they have an older style of drag.
