Live Blogging RuPaul’s Drag Race Premiere: The Most Important Event of our Time, Monday 9/8c

Something’s Coming, Something Good.

The Gay Mayans Warned Us. February 1, 2010, the day the ancient mayan drag calendar ends, has been passed down through history as a date destined to profoundly change the course of drag history. As Nostradamus wrote in one of his most famous quatrains:

Sitting alone at night in a secret boudoir;
It places on a tube of brass lip gloss.
A flaming queen comes out of the emptiness and
Divine splendor; She sits nearby.

That’s right, ladies. The Season 2 Premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race has finally arrived. It’s getting so close, you should have probably already started your engines. We’re obviously LIVE BLOGGING this mighty event so come on back to NewNowNext this Monday night, February 1st, at 9/8c.

The episode will be STREAMING right here as we live blog the sequins out of it joined by Michelle Collins of Best Week Ever and Dodai Stewart of Jezebel. (You can also tune in to the fun at those sites as well, Miss Thang.) And listen up, this is a marathon not a sprint. It’s lasting from 9-10:30 PM and will provide unmissable commentary for both the RuPaul Premiere and the first episode of the new behind-the-scenes spin-off, Untucked. Let’s do this.

After the jump, some photos and sassy promos for the show you may have missed.
