Lucky Dip Club is Drag Race Themed This Month- You Will Hopefully Be Able To Buy The RuPaul Socks Without a Subscription From Their Store Very Soon- Bookmark Now!

​Lucky Dip Club is a monthly subscription box I get delivered, which sends me quirky socks and a pin badge, with a random theme each month. My March box arrived this morning I and squealed with absolute delight when I opened it and saw RuPaul’s face staring back at me.

I’ve blogged many times about Drag Race, I’m a huge fan. I watch every series and follow all the gossip on Reddit. 

If you want to get your hands on the subscription box you can sign up on the Lucky Dip website, or you can wait until later in the month, as they usually list their socks and pin badges separately in the store for sale if they have some left over, so if you just want to buy the Ru socks, you will be able to do so if you bookmark the site.  They should be on sale in a week or so! But if you want to get your hands on the Ru socks for definite, I would email them and check if you subscribe for a box today will it be the Ru box, as you never know, they might end up with no left over products for the store. 

Belfast Drag Queen Blu Hydrangea Brings a Tattooed Pin Up Vixen by NI Art Scene King Terry Bradley to Life. You HAVE to See This.

I've been a massive RuPaul Drag Race fan for a good number of years now. I watch it & indulge in my hobby on my lonesome.

My ex-husband hated it, I can't yet watch with my son because he's nine, and it's still a bit crude for his ears. He does however watch top ten catwalk look type videos on YouTube with me, and his favourite is Alaska, even with only seeing her outfits. He can spot her in any line up.​

So it's quite sad I've yet to make it to any drag show, when there is a healthy scene in Belfast centring around Boom Box and their cast of spunky, young queens. All the RPDR alumni tour here, all my favourites like Alyssa, her Haus of Edwards, but I've never made it to a show. I might take the plunge and go see Bianca Del Rio in February, in the Waterfront, but I'll be on my own for that too.​

Anyway, I try to support local queens by liking their pics on Instagram where I can. This week I was blown away when I spotted Blu Hydrangea's Terry Bradley tattoo girl look. 

Terry Bradley is a NI artist and you may have spotted his work in local bars, restaurants and around the Sailor Town quarter where the Rotterdam bar was. 

There is even a turiorial on Blu Hydrangea's YouTube. I think she's one to watch in the coming future- especially with the fact Johnathan Ross has bought rights to make RPDG UK. 

Follow Blu on Instagram for weekly unreal looks.

I think I'm Northern Ireland's biggest RuPaul's Drag Race fan, and yes I would accept a challenge on that. I asked Instagram did anyone else share my passion, and a friend tagged a girl called Agnes, who definitely seems to be as keen as I to seek out the new season 8 episode on a Tuesday morning.

Even better, Agnes has an  Etsy store selling her own prints of the queens and she'll sell you a canvas tote with your favourite on it too. So all of us can walk into the room purse first, purse first, just like Bob The Drag Queen. Hooray!

I've been rewatching Ru Paul's Drag Race on Netflix, with season 8 approaching next month. I've even delved into 'the lost season', series one, the one filmed with Vaseline smeared camera lenses & questionable wigs.

I've watched mostly in reverse, so I'm on season 2 now. The episode I've reached is one where the mini-challenge is to makeover a RuPaul doll into a lady of the night. Which sent me immediately to eBay to see if I could afford a Ru Paul doll. Sadly they start at £55, but I found something Drag Race fans can have for their home without busting your budget.

ebay seller 88to92 is who you need to search for. They make these cool, queen-quote artworks. I would love a whole set framed going up my stairs at home. They start at £5 so pick your favourite queen and have her home in time for series 8 beginning. 

I didn't like Dela, but she did look like Michelle Visage!

If anyone wants to chat Drag Race on Twitter I'm @rudedoodle. I posted some behind the scenes secrets and stills from 'the lost season' this morning.​

I love you, Ru!
