Ep. 68: Polish the Queen
Dec 18, 2023 Season 1 Episode 68
Jim Silvestri, Freddie Cosmo, Red Eye Radio

Legends of Nat 1 pod host Shane Cherry is back to fill Freddie's co-host seat for this week's ep of the now award-winning Thotlight! And what an ep it is, as the team behind the GLAM-nominated drag competition "Polish the Queen" are the in-studio guests: producer Phil Chanel and hostesses Octavia Anyae & Jolina Jasmine! The three Jersey gworls talk about how the drag and nightlife of their native land compares to the NYC hustle (is it "just okay" per Luxx Noir London?); the Jersey pageant tradition and the interesting trend of Drag Race snatching up Miss Paradise winners that continues this year with Sapphira Cristal;  and the evolution of "Polish" (yes, they know how some people want to pronounce it that other way) from Stonewall to Playhouse to its newest incarnation at Red Eye.

In the news: the site of the former club Limelight gets a new life; a brand new RuGirl has already faced a cancelation campaign for a prior interaction with an audience member; Lady Bunny's Christmas show run was abruptly cancelled; the endurance of Renaissance; what's the queerest U.S. state?
