Okay, let’s focus on Sam Smith, everyone’s new favorite singer. We here at Class & Trash are definitely fans. He’s got a lovely voice and sings the kind of songs that make you cry on Sunday nights.
Here are two of the bops.
Stay With Me
Proceeds to ugly cry. Sam’s voice is so haunting and he portrays such a sense of longing for that human connection despite looking for it in the wrong place. So freaking good.
Latch
Switches into a bop and snap. I love songs with a distinctly 80’s influence and this is no different. Come through.
But really this post about the reunion of Class & Trash. Throw in our love Sass, The Asian Sensation, and Devin who frequently comments and you will hear from soon and you have the recipe for a super shady, super hilarious, and amazing weekend. And it’s all leading up to the On The Run tour on Tuesday where you will get both of our reactions.
But we’re trying to get to brunch. So say hey! Reach out on the Twitter page. You might see up dropping it low if you’re in Atlanta.
So I just saw a commercial for the Purge Anarchy and thought that this would be a fun quickie post. And since Asian Sensation is here, she’s going to join me! The challenge is to come up with the first three people you’re taking out if the purge actually happened?
She’s just a terrible human being. She can’t really sing. I don’t love her music. She’s a cyber bully. An attention whore. And I just don’t like her.
Don’t call people “Rice Cake.” I’m Asian. That’s racist.
Also, don’t come for Ciara. THE. END.
2) Miley Cyrus
Also an attention whore. She needs to stop twerking. White people! She didn’t invent twerking! Please cover up your pancakes. (Her weirdly shaped butt). Stop grinding up on married men.
3) Johnny Manziel
You’re the king of the douchebags.
Trash
1) Kirk Frost
The epitome of the ain’t shit men who get away with less than shit. The kind of simpering, chapped lipped, pleather wearing asshole who eats paste.
2) Ann Coulter
It’s one thing to be an asshole for Cable News checks. It’s another to continue to speak when your 15-minutes of fame has run out and the only reason we still hear from you is because Twitter is free.
Hey folks, both Class and I have taken our cranky pills this morning so we’re going to keep this brief and simple. Yes, it’s another music challenge post. Deal.
Name a song that makes you energetic:
Class: Steer – Khia
Trash: Hit The Floor – Twista f. Pitbull
An international (non-American/British) artist that you like:
Class: Angela Gheorghiu (Romania)
Trash: Pressure (Jamaica)
A song that describes you:
Class: Human – Sam Tsui
Trash: Into the Ocean – Blue October
Leave your responses below. Our playlists are always ready for an update!
It’s time to announce a new series here on your favorite site. So because we’re committed to increasing the quality of your iPods, we’ve decided to share a few of our favorite jams for a particular artist each week.
Because Class picked the artist for this first week, it’s time to talk about Beyoncé.
Trash
1) Yoncé/Partition
Despite my next two choices, I love Beyoncé most when she embraces her hood side. This song in particular changed my entire view on Beyoncé, moving me from casual fan to staunch defender/junior associate Beyhive member. The rap >>>>>>
2) Smash Into You
My absolute favorite of Beyoncé’s love songs. She delivers vocally and it’s simply a beautiful song.
3) Love On Top
5 KEY CHANGES. FIVE! Love the throwback to the Motown era, love her vocal layering. Did I mention the five key changes??
Class
If you don’t know…I am a PROUD BeyHive Member. 1- 9….EIGHT. ONE!
Beyonce’s catalogue is LITERALLY flawless. Her missteps are still better than mosts (yup B’Day may not have been my favorite but if you don’t think that stops me from listening, you’re WRONG.) What makes Bey better is that her live performance are FAR better than her recorded works. This is a HUGE statement considering her albums are perfect. Picking my three favorite songs might be one of the hardest challenges for me. So i’m only considering live performances. Wish me luck.
1) 1+1 (Dressing Room Edition)
My. God. A keyboard. Beyonce’s Golden Vocals. Harmonies by the Mamas. ANY QUESTIONS?!
2) End Of Time (Revel Edition)
The. End. Of. Time. STOMP! The sickening pink pumps. I am unable.
This song instantly stood out to me on her classic 4 album. It is a perfect dancing song, running song, cooking song, cleaning song, do better in life song, etc. It is perfection and Beyonce ALWAYS gives it her 300%. I dare you to not stomp and body roll up….DARE YOU.
3) Resentment (Live from Las Vegas Edition)
DO YOU HEAR HER RAT B*TCH RIHANNA?!?! GO IN BEY! SHE AIN’T EVEN HALF OF ME!!!!!!!!! YASSSSSSSS!
The passion Beyonce performed this with is INCREDIBLE. I don’t know who pissed her off that day but the result is incredible. Also…Why are the Mamas so sickening? I hate and love them.
And a special treat!
Never forget where it all began. Destiny’s Child. I stumbled across this gem and thought i’d share. Please enjoy them stomping the f*ck out of the football field. I miss DC3.
We here at Class and Trash love terrible music, especially the songs of the Real Housewives. So we got together with our friend over at Overactive Blogger to rank our top 3 favorite housewife singles. There are bound to be some repeats (Trash purposely left off Chic, C’est La Vie) because you can’t dispute quality. Let’s get started!
Overactive Blogger
1) Chic, C’est La Vie – Countess Luann (RHONY)
2) On Display – Melissa Gorga (RHONJ)
3) Tardy For the Party – Kim Zolciak (RHOA)
Class

So what are your favorites? I’m super disappointed that we left out Google Me and Close To You. Let us know in the comments!
Okay, I’m sorry. That was a cheap, easy joke. And Team Trash should be better than that. It’s just Trash this time.
We get a throwaway mini challenge this week. Female or Shemale. The queens saw extreme close-ups of either drag queens or biological womens and had to guess which was which. Ben DeLaCreme (yay!) and Adore (ugh…) win and become team captains for the main challenge.
Shade the RuSical! I can already tell you that Class is jealous that he was not one the show for this episode.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. The show immediately starts out with the “Battle of the Idols” between Courtney Act and Adore Delano. We knew that when they hit the singing challenge, this would come up. Personally, I think that Adore has the stronger voice, but Courtney has more control and is more effortless.
Also, let’s just talk about this. Because it makes me happy.
As the queens rehearse, we hear Gia’s singing voice.
Ru visits and as the queens prepare, Joslyn gets in a quick read citing Bianca Del Rio and inspiration for her butch queen look. She really has more going for her than I thought.
Trinity is showing her ass because she’s nervous. To quote Alyssa Edwards, “Get a grip, get a life, and get over it.” This is season 6. Show up and compete, ho!
Listen. Joslyn Fox is everything this episode. I really do feel bad for April. You can tell that she is putting in 100% effort and she simply isn’t a musical queen.
“Is she frustrated sexually?” Shut up Gia.
Ooh Trinity. You are out of line. And defensive. Get it together. I get that Bianca has a slick mouth but you should be able to take it.
Laganja is so obnoxious and I love her.
What’s a Tony? Good bye Gia.
Adore talks about “butching” it up for Idol. Which sucks that she wasn’t able to really be herself as she competed.
Gia discusses her history of kabuki which is actually interesting. If she spent more time talking about her past instead of being dumb and catty, I might like her.
We have not given Ru props for looking amazing on the runway each week. She looks phenomenal.
SHERYL LEE RALPH!!!! ::yas gif::
And cute Lucian. Hey boo.
The Dragbill was a nice touch, Ru.
Shade: The Rusical
Darienne’s dancing is not good and weakens her and Gia’s performance.
Ben is FABULOUS! She totally brought it as the Shady Lady. Could have won.
COURTNEY is everything. She’s a fucking star.
Bianca is actually great and is really shining.
Trinity and Gia…do better than expected. Neither is going to win but both really give it their all.
Adore’s look is just a mess. But her singing is good-ish. She has sounded better.
Laganja and Joslyn are great. Joslyn seriously is amazing here. LUV HUH.
Milk should be better than this. Like she’s not the worst, but her look is disappointing.
Poor April is trying her absolute best. It’s not a good performance though.
Runway Rundown
Bianca continues to look smashing. But she still needs to show a new silhouette.
Trinity looks okay but some of her looks still reads a little inexpensive.
Darienne – Ooh girl, this is bad. It doesn’t flow like a gown should.
Gia looks much better than last week. But I’m not a huge nude fan in general though.
Ben is drag fabulousness. Loving Ben and she better make the top six.
Courthey Act is fabulous. Like there’s no critique when you look like that.
Laganja is love. I honestly think she looks amazing most of the time. Alyssa taught her well.
April’s gown is pretty, but this is not her best. Last week’s rainy day was her high point.
Joslyn looks good, too. Gia was correct in that her wig was not hot.
Milk disappointed me this week. Her look this week was weird but it’s not interesting or clever this time like the past 2 weeks
Adore looks okay. This was better than last week but her looks just aren’t very good.
Judging
During the judging panel, Sheryl READS the dog shit out of Trinity. Darienne is clueless, failing to realize that she was not great in the Rusical. Michelle is completely wrong for coming for Ben. She killed it. And Courtney brought it…but came across a little arrogant during the judging. But she knows that she rocked it. Can’t blame her there.
Adore didn’t cinch again. And her dress is worse upon closer inspection. Ooh, the reads for April. Poor girl, she really is trying her hardest. The judges hate Trinity’s diction but Ru defends her flipper. They do hate her attitude. Sheryl is life acquired. Permanent guest judge!
Courtney and Ben really are the shining stars. Michelle is OFF here. Santino is defending Adore and I guess she really shouldn’t go this week. Poor April. All of the effort is noted though.
I love the reveal of the winners. Courtney wins!!!! Obviously though. She really nailed it. Adore and Ben are top.
Darienne is saved from the bottom two, leaving Trinity and April to lip sync to I’m Every Woman by Chaka Khan. These girls better bring it.
And they both do! Trinity is WERQING her fan! April is really good though but like Dida Ritz before her, sometimes a black girl just can’t be beat. Trinity chantays and April Carrion is told to sashay away.
I am sad for April. She really is a gorgeous girl and she is by no means a bad queen. I hope the best for her.
What did you guys think? Let us know on Twitter at @ClassNTrashShow or in the comments below.
Pause: I don’t typically talk about Untucked but let’s talk about how dumb Gia is. Gia was being ignorant and being rude. Milk, for all of her issues, is not below anyone. And Gia is literally the worst. THE WORST. She isn’t actually that great a fishy queen and yet she acts like she’s sitting.
Joslyn is so right in this argument. And I’m living for her.
The time has come! For Class and Trash to recap another episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race!
This episode was a hoot. It started with the two groups meeting each other with shade flying fast and furious.
Bianca’s instant dislike for Gia only makes Trash love her more. And Gia saying “I don’t like messy queens. I don’t like cheap queens. And I don’t like manly queens.”
I can’t stand her.
For the mini challenge, the queens were told to pair up with a queen from the other group and do a bikini lip sync to Click Clack using the top half of one queen and legs of the other. I’m not going to lie, I found all of this super amusing.
Trash also thought April’s “Ariel” look was brilliant. She’s really rising in my estimation.
Trash would have gone with Courtney and Laganja but RuPaul was feeling Adore and Milk’s dance. Milk’s decision not to tuck might have played a role. I know you were looking!
Next, Ru announced that the queens would split into two teams to film horror movies, one from the 60’s and one from the 80’s. The queens split back into the groups from Episodes 1 & 2, which is a huge mistake on the part of Adore. The difference in talent between the two groups really is astounding. Also, how dumb is Gia?
Please leave.
Team Milk takes on the 60’s script and all of the queens seem to do incredibly well, with the exception of Miss Trinity K. Bonet. I hate that I softened my stance on her because she was just a mess this week. I get that she’s not an actress, but no. And seriously, she wants to be a Beyoncé impersonator?????
Bianca was absolutely correct in that you can perform as an artist, but to build an entire stage show around it, you have to have the resemblance. Chad Michaels looks like Cher in makeup. That’s why she’s so successful and that’s the appeal of that type of show. With all the Beyoncé worship, lack of charisma, and cancelled barbecue, Trinity really is Tyra Sanchez. We know it’s you, you can’t win again!
Bianca killed it. Courtney brought it. Darienne was fabulous. Milk was good as well.
Joslyn blew me away actually. Trash was expecting some Tatianna realness from her, and she really was shockingly good in the skit. Granted, it was a ditzy queen playing a ditzy character, but I want to see more from her now.
Team Adore was tragic. The group went on stage with no full run-through. Tragic. Poor April was cast as the butch character which was not a good idea. Vivacious should have played this part. Laganja was not bad. Gia were middling at best and her beige lip gloss looked dumb. Adore didn’t know her lines. Vivacious’ “Lie-za Minnelli LIES!” was great. A shame about her awful performance in the box though.
The shining star here was Ben DelaCreme who really shines when compared to these scrubs. She’s got the goods to go the distance.
Another Gia is the worst moment. “I found it funny that theirs was in black and white and ours was in color.”
Let’s talk about the runway (the theme was your best drag). The guest judges were Lena Headey and Linda Blair who were both super into it and gave great comments.
Bianca gave us exaggerated collar and is clearly working on toning down her clownish makeup. Trash think she is going to have to show some versatility in her silhouette.
Courtney’s Australian flag gown is fabulous. WERQ! She’s flawless.
Joslyn looked so much like Tatianna on the runway. Trash loved the dress but it was super bland.
Trinity’s tangerine gown is pretty, but a little cheap looking. You could also see her bra. Rookie mistake.
Milk wore another super interesting look with a Pinocchio-nose. Trash didn’t love it, but you are not going to forget a queen like that. And that was her intent.
Darienne’s wings were lovely and I think she really made it shine. The dress itself was a little shapeless but it worked for her. Her face is always super beat.
April Carrion’s rainy day realness???
‘
She really got all of my attention. She looked incredible.
Laganja looked incredible as well. The butterfly fascinator was stunning and her face was beat for the gods.
Gia looked ridiculous. She has too much mouth, no sense of humor, and that look was stupid. It wasn’t interesting. It wasn’t pretty. And her padding was raggedy. She can go now.
Adore looked okay enough, but it was nothing special. Trash liked her eye makeup. That said, when RuPaul told her “Stars put in the work!” she was right on the money.
Ben DeLaCreme looked cute in her hot pink one piece. I like that she pads super curvy.
Vivacious?
Yeah…no.
So Team Milk won in what had to be the most obvious win in the show’s history. Darienne won the challenge for her work as the head. I probably would have gone with Courtney, but I’m not mad at her at all.
Adore, April, and Vivacious received the harshest critiques and for the second week in a row, Adore is saved from the lip sync. Now, Trash loves Ru, but this wasn’t the move. Adore’s natural obnoxiousness may have worked for the role, but neither her look or acting was impressive. April’s runway should have saved her from the bottom two.
But April & Vivacious face of to “Shake It Up” by Selena Gomez.
RuPaul was getting her life though and both girls brought it. April won the lip sync and Vivacious the dinosaur sashayed away. This was definitely the right decision.
What did Class think? I’m much more simpler in my thoughts.
Vivacious girl. WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU AND HOW DARE YOU?!?! I hope she went home and burned that thing. You better SERVE at the finale. Did she think that was REALLY cute? She looked like Reptar from the Rugrats. No ma’am.
Bianca is my new favorite. She better come for Adore’s cheap ass wig. YAAAAASSSSS! As a matter of fact…Adore take your happy ass home. I tried to like you but you think you’re are better than you ACTUALLY are. Girl BYE! And Courtney (while boring) still gets the Hey boo (wink…call me) of the week.
All in all, this was another fantastic episode and we laughed all through it. Let us know your thoughts in your comments below or on Twitter! Let’s discuss!
Hey guys! It’s time to talk about Season 6 of Drag Race! The second premiere edition! Did you miss our first recap? Check it out here.
So let’s just get this out of the way. This set of queens was WAAAAAAY better than the first group. While the episode itself was a bit repetitive (the first episode is always a photo challenge and a themed-sewing challenge), this group of queens brought it. Ru had the girls do a pillow-fight themed photo shoot with the Pit Crew (hey boos!) and then a party-themed box challenge (Luau, Toga, Quinceanera, Princess, St. Patrick’s Day, Hoedown, and Republican). Let’s go doll by doll.
Bianca Del Rio
(Source: NewNowNext)
LUV. HUH. We both love a bitch who can read and being an insult comic, Bianca Del Rio fits the bill. I like that she’s confident and has clearly studied the show before coming on. Her makeup is intense, but it is definitely her style. Class loves the eyes but isn’t sure how far she will go. Trash loved her luau dress even though you can tell she’s whipped that dress out before. It seems to be her signature silhouette from my research online.
It will up to her to show that she be versatile outside of her lashes.
Courtney Act (Source: NewNowNext)
LUV HUH TOO! Trash doesn’t typically care about the fishiness of a queen, but homegirl is stunning in drag. We both thought her photo was easily the best and she’s definitely got some tricks up her sleeve. Any friend of Willam’s is a friend of mine. That said, her republican look was a bit blah so she’s going to have to step it up and really impress the judges. Class loved everything she did and has already said that she’s the winner.
I think she’s a lock for top 5.
Miss Darienne Lake
(Source: NewNowNext)
See Trash is living for Miss Thang’s personality. I thought that after Bianca, she gave the best talking heads (I’m Darienne Lake, I’m 21, and I’m a compulsive liar!)
That kind of wit will get her far especially since her drag seems to be polished. That said, her Luck of the Irish look was really bad. Class called her runway Lane Bryant and wasn’t feeling her at all. The center ruching was not the business at all and the top was throwaway. Trash thought that she would be better here, but her lip sync was aces. I feel like once she gets into the thick of the show, she is going to shine.
Joslyn Fox
(Source: NewNowNext)
Lort. This one is a bit dim. She’s super gorgeous but she’s a bit out of her depth here. Her 51 and black horse comments were just…
I thought her look wasn’t good but wasn’t bad. It was definitely drag enough though so we’ll see if she can pick it up.
She’s got an aesthetic though and RuPaul does love a young queen who can pick it up and run with it, but Joslyn may be a little too umm…slow to pick up on that. Class found her a bit dull and thinks she needs to stand out.
Magnolia Crawford
(Source: NewNowNext)
Ugh…this one. Trash feels like she could have actually done well on the show if she wasn’t so obnoxious. Class was over her from the moment she walked in. Her look is strange, but unique enough. She had some funny lines. (I’m Magnolia Crawford, and I’m Seattle’s sexiest drag queen! (I’m not sexy) I’m Seattle’s funniest drag queen (I’m not funny)).
Just…that dress, that attitude, and that walk. Good bye and good riddance. Even when Trash watched the Whatcha Packin’ with Michelle, she comes across as bitter and unpleasant. She can go hang out with Serena ChaCha and Penny Tration at the bottom of the barrel.
Milk, The Dairy Queen
(Source: NewNowNext)
Let’s just get this out of the way….
#heyboo #HEYBOO #HEY #BOO #HEEEEEYBOOHEEEEEEY
Okay, now that I’ve said that. I LOOOOOVE MILK. I think that she’s one of the few queens that has quirk going for her. I thought her intro look was genius in that she was gorgeous and hilarious at the same time. I didn’t love the beard on the runway, but I thought that the flow of the garment plus the fact that she’s so damn tall worked well for her. The edit on her critique was a mess though. You’re better than that, show. Class was not here for her at all.
I don’t know how deep Milk will go, but as long as he stays cute and stays campy, I think she can go far.
Trinity K. Bonet
(Source: NewNowNext)
I was not here for her at all. Her intro look was blah, her winning photo was just okay, her voice is grating, and those teeth? NO GAWD. When she was awwkardly standing there with Bianca, I just wanted her to go.
But you know what, she turned it on the runway showing a creativity that I didn’t think she was capable of and during Untucked, she came off really thoughtful and smart. I can’t say that she’s a favorite yet, but I’m way more interested in her skills than I thought I’d be. Class wants to like her more (similar to Adore from last week).
So the judges loved Trinity (minus the cheesy neckpiece), Milk (even with the beard) and Bianca, who snatched the win. Joslyn and Courtney were called safe with messages to edit and “stop relying on that body!” Miss Darienne and Magnolia were up for elimination to “Turn The Beat Around.” Magnolia sucked. Darienne was a lit wobbly but really stole the show. She stayed and it was time for Magnolia and her nose to go.
We look forward to the merging of the queens next week and can’t wait to see how this season unfolds. What are you thoughts on the episode? Catch it here at Logotv.com! Who do think will make it to the Final 3? Let us know in the comments or on the Twitter machine (@ClassNTrashShow).
Our show is back!! And we both are so excited. Class and Trash are going to be sharing our opinions of the queens this season and putting them through their paces until we have a WINNAH!!!!
So the first 7 queens competed in a TV themed episode with a high flying photoshoot and then a runway using show-themed items. Let’s talk the queens first:
Adore Delano: We both want to like Adore but something about her is off. Trash thinks her face is oddly pudgy and angular. Class finds her personality a bit forced. Class noticed that she paints in a way that makes her look bloated.
April Carrion: Trash will admit that he thought April was going to be super dull in the previews but she’s definitely got more to her than meets the eye. Class loved her look on the runway.
Gia Gunn: Absolutely not.
Class thinks she’s trying to hard to be like Phi Phi. Phi Phi is Trash’s least favorite drag racer so that does not bode well for her. Gia’s voice is annoying, her drag really isn’t interesting, and her cattiness isn’t even funny.
Ben Dela Creme: Trash loves her! She’s going to have to show her real self to Ru but I think she definitely has a level of polish and good comedic timing that will serve her well. Class thought she was a bit blah, but being a cute boy helps!
Vivacious: Yaaaaaaass! Vivacious is such an old school 90s queen that you can’t help but root for her. That said, we were both disappointed from the moment she struggled with her zipper.
Trash was expecting a Chad Michaels level of polish. Class is still pressed that she didn’t practice her zipper reveal for the intro. Girl this is season 6. She needs to up her game because that runway walk and little kick won’t cut it in the long run.
Laganja Estranga: LIVING FOR HER! She’s totally over the top and rides the line of being annoying but we both loved the death drop. I thought her photo was the clear winner and that she’s got a performance ability that will at well. Trash wasn’t a huge fan on the runway look but she really does have her drag mother’s (Alyssa Edwards) likeability.
Kelly Mantle: Trash wants to like her. She seems funny and entertaining. But once Class pointed out that she looks like Jade Jolie’s mom, it was a wrap for Kelly. Her intro look didn’t impress and that wig on the runway??? BURN IT BITCH! Let that shit MELT in a fire.
On the runway, Ben DeLa Creme won the challenge with Gia and April in the top. Adore escaped the bottom two, leaving Vivacious and Kelly to lip sync to “Express Yourself” by Madonna.
Neither Class or Trash know how Adore wasn’t in the bottom. The dress and wig were not it.
Vivacious stayed after impressing Class with her lip sync and Kelly’s wig gave up so she sashayed away.
We both agree that this was the right call. Can’t wait to meet the other 7 queens next week!
