Sharon Needles? Really?

I'm no big fan of drag. I have friends who are drag queens and I've met more drag queens than most. When I first heard that Sharon Needles (talentless little wannabe, sloppy drunk, and all around useless piece of trash) was going to be on Ru Paul's Drag Race, I almost hurled.

Really. Why in God's name would a class act like Ru Paul associate in any way with a racist piece of small town trash like this? The answer, of course, is simple. Ratings.

But here's the truth: Sharon Needles is no original. He is a wannabe. Plain and simple. He has stolen his entire routine from his "friend" Veruca La Pirahna. Don't believe me? Take a look at this photo of the two together (borrowed from Flickr):

On the left, you'll see Sharon Needles wearing what looks to be some cheap ass witch costume from Spencer Gifts. On the right, you'll see Veruca La Pirahna wearing Creepy Coutoure! And wearing it far better than Sharon will ever dream of! Note Veruca's contact lenses. Look familiar?

The Pittsburgh drag scene has always been a bit different. It's not overrun with Dianna Ross wannabes and camp is kept to a minimum. When/if a local drag queen does camp, like say Marsha Mellow, it's done in fun and with razor sharp wit.

In the 10 or so years that I've been following the local drag scene, a few names come to mind. Eva Destruction was always great. Kind of like our own version of Pete Burns. Mahogany is still probably the best. That bitch could wear a used garbage bag and make it look fierce! But Sharon Needles? Really? What a waste of time. I can't believe that I'm wasting the time to write this! Oh well, my boss thinks I'm working.

I could go into detail about Sharon's racist rants. I was there. Chances are, you weren't. Yes, Sharon dropped the N-bomb. Also wore a KKK outfit. Classsssssyyyy! Soooooooooo artistic! Not. I won't go into all of that because chances are you've already heard about it. It's true.

What I will go into is this: if you want to see the REAL thing, avoid Sharon Needles and go see Veruca. Not only does the bitch work the look, the bitch also has TALENT. The 1st time I saw Veruca perform, I was amazed! I've seen Veruca perform many, many times since then. Always a good time. Unlike Sharon Needsless. That bitch is useless. Built like a twig with a face a mother would throw acid at. And hear this and hear it good, Sharon has NO TALENT. If watching a drunk act stupid onstage is your idea of fun, enjoy! Sharon is the act for you. I'd rather see this:

Now comes the big question. OK Sharon, you won. The show's producers have you booked until the end of the year. What then? You better save them coins bitch.
