Hi Fam 🌈
The Olympic Games may have come to a close, but the Olympics of drag have just gotten started! This week, RuPaul’s Drag Race: Global All Stars kicked off with a two-part premiere and they are going for the gold... in entertainment.
This week we had the pleasure of catching up with this season’s incredible international cast, who spills all the tea about what they're back to prove, who's the shadiest of them all, and speaking of shade, they play a game of Eff, Mary, Avoid, and they aren’t holding back — oh, at all. Oh, and Tessa Testicle tells PRIDE she’s ready for her “menace era.”
PRIDE also caught up with Canada’s Drag Race winner Priyanka who gives us all the spicy deets about her album, and Elizabeth Banks gives us an update on Pitch Perfect 4. Plus, Great Britain’s swim team gets our hearts racing with a sexy dance in their speedos, and Stormy Daniels makes Trump look a fool again! Speaking of fools, JD Vance’s underwhelming campaign event has us giggling, and boxer Imane Khelif is ready to get some justice, filing a lawsuit against Elon Musk and JK Rowling.
What a week!
Plus, check out what the staff of PRIDE have been up to this week below! ⬇️
Cheers!

PRIDE’s Ricky Cornish is enjoying his final weeks of summer by hitting up some of the hottest LGBTQ+ events around the country! First up, he attended the iconic Market Days festival in Chicago and danced the weekend away with his chosen family and the ever-so-fabulous CircuitMOM. The memories he’s made will last a lifetime!
I had quite a time at the preview screening of Alien: Romulus in San Francisco. They may not be able to hear you scream in space, but the people around me certainly could! You can read my review of the film where I discuss how it fits into the the queer legacy of the Alien films that have come before it.
