The world’s largest celebration of drag culture is just days away, so get ready to sashay your way to the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The 2024 edition of RuPaul’s DragCon LA will take place over two days: Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20. Once again, it’s presented by World of Wonder Productions and its co-founders, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. This year’s theme is the “hottest ever” … and we’re assuming that refers to the sizzling talent that’ll be on-hand rather than the California weather.
Attendees of RuPaul’s DragCon LA will be able to experience signings, meet and greets, photo opps, mainstage performances, a DJ set with RuPaul Charles (Friday only), 300 unique vendors for shopping and merchandise, and more. Judges Michelle Visage and Ts Madison will also appear, as well as “pit crew” model Bruno Alcantara and celebs like Daniel Franzese and Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho.

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s fourteenth episode, season 3 winner, former “Pit Stop” host, and All Stars 7 consolation winner Raja stops by to “cut up” just before the “Grand Finale” in two weeks. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 14, Raja and Bianca agree that Anetra is a threat to Sasha Colby‘s chance at winning. Raja goes as far to say that Anetra is Sasha’s “only threat.” Despite seeing them as the only ones with a chance to win, Raja says that they are a great final four because they’re “very all powerful in their own way” because of their abilities and stories. Sprinkled throughout the episode, Bianca gets Raja to share some of her memories...

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s thirteenth episode, Naomi Smalls returns to the recap show as a two-time makeover challenge winner herself. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 13, both Naomi and Bianca say that they expected one of the twins to make the top five instead of the five that actually made it to this episode. Naomi said that Sugar is great at comedic timing, but Spice is more polished in her looks and so either could have been the one to make it this far. Like other queens before her, Naomi also took offense to queens like Luxx Noir London and Loosey Laduca being so pressed about their placements, especially Loosey trying to count mini challenge wins in her record.

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s twelfth episode, Laganja Estranja and Bianca start a rumor about a never-aired lip sync between the two of them on season 6, among other things. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 12, Laganja names Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Luxx Noir London as her two faves of the season, though she likes all of the top six. Bianca liked that for once her guest didn’t name Sasha Colby as her favorite, though admittedly they both are rooting for her. One thing Laganja and Bianca are tired of hearing from the girls is their “in my __ era” tag line that they say has been run in to the ground by this point. On that topic,...

On the fourth episode of season 11 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Mercedes Iman Diamond was eliminated. Did you think she was the right choice to go this week after her performance in the Lip Sync For Your Life or should Ra’Jah O’Hara have been sent packing? Vote in our poll below and be sure to sound off in the comments section with your thoughts on episode 4, “Trump: The Rusical,” which aired March 21 on VH1.
Mercedes and Ra’Jah ended up in the bottom two after failing to impress RuPaul Charles, guest judges Tiffany Pollard and Joel McHale, and regular panellists Ross Mathews and Michelle Visage throughout the fourth series of competitions. That meant they were pitted against each other in the Lsfyl. Each had to perform to the James Brown classic “Living in America.”
In the end, RuPaul opted to throw a lifeline to Dallas darling Ra’Jah who,...

Fresh off last week’s embarrassing six-way lip sync battle, the ladies of RuPaul’s Drag Race decided on Thursday that they were really going to start trying from now on. No more tucking around!
Unfortunately, not everyone was able to keep that promise, as seen in this week’s disastrous mini challenge Why You Maddow Tho? The assignment was simple: dress up like MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow (cheap jacket and all!) and read a series of breaking news reports from a teleprompter. Yet “simple” proved too much for some queens, like poor Silky Nutmeg Ganache, who struggled with the...

Honey and Shuga ended up in the bottom two after failing to impress RuPaul Charles, guest judges Guillermo Díaz and Troye Sivan, and regular panellists Ross Mathews and Michelle Visage throughout the third series of competitions.

In the all-new episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” on March 13, the lucky 13 remaining queens were tasked with taking part in spoofs of talk shows. Which contestant came out on top and was the winner of this challenge on episode 3 of season 11? And were Gold Derby’s predictions correct that Mercedes Iman Diamond would be eliminated this week?
