The Boulet Brother's Dragula is a drag competition show to the extreme, centering itself on the weird, unconventional, loud and raw culture of drag artistry. The Boulet Brothers, Swanthula and Dracmorda Boulet, are a duo of veteran drag queens, nightlife legends, event promoters and the main symbol of what Dragula is all about. They're a powerhouse of pure queer weirdness and shine a light on destroying heteronormativity and embracing the abstract and the grotesque. The Boulets strive to showcase the side of queer nightlife that's rarely depicted on television, with Dragula it comes to life. The goal of the show is to look for the "World's Next Drag Supermonster" and with the success of the first two seasons, this season's about to blow everyone's minds with it's new Amazon Prime budget.

This season, 11 drag monsters from around the globe will compete for the title of Dragula, whoever claws their way to the stop will not only snatch the crown but also get a grand prize of $25,000. Each episode the contestants have to compete in a series of challenges that test their skills in sewing/costume design, acting, performance art, makeup/SFX and many more. The contestants who do the worst in each episode have to face an "extermination challenge" to decide if they stay or go home. Exterminations range from eating brains to being buried alive to even jumping out of a plane. It's pure madness at it's finest.

Dragula started off as an underground web-series that premiered it's first two seasons on YouTube. The first season took place mostly at their local bar/club called "Precinct DTLA" where the Boulet Brothers hosted their weekly club event titled "Queen Kong" where the original club competition "Dragula" stemmed from. The cast was mostly local queens around California, but they were equally as talented and just as impactful in the community. Season One winner "Vander Von Odd" remains a legend in the Dragula catalog and has marked her place in the queer world with her impeccable talent and embodiment of her art.

Season Two gave the audience a taste into a bigger budget, more monsters across America, bigger sets and more structured episodes. The D-I-Y nature of the show is what was beloved by fans, it felt super indie/independently filmed with cute vignette skits, making use of resources they already had, and yet being able to produce quality television to fulfill your best drag horror fantasies. Season Two was a huge step for Dragula, especially for winner "Biqtch Puddin" who had one of the best underdog stories in reality competition tv history.

Now comes the ultimate piece of the Dragula world, Season 3. This season these ghouls are not ones to mess with, they're a packed force of sickening artists hungry for the crown. This season even features a female drag artist, Hollow Eve and a drag king, Landon Cider. It's campier, bigger, messier, more guts and gore then ever.

Here's a little run-down of the cast of Season 3. Madelynn Hatter, the psychotic sex clown of New York City. Violencia Exclamation Point, a grotesque queen of pure camp and flith. Yovska, the drag creature of Canada who resembles a childhood nightmare. St. Lucia, the Atlanta based devil-ish glamour. Evah Destruction, an everchanging chameleon horror clown. Louisianna Purchase, the countess of Austin, Texas. Priscilla Chambers, a Hell-Billy queen from the dirtiest trailer park. Hollow Eve, a post binary drag socialist with a penchant for anarchy. Dollya Black, a wenching sexy witch of the underworld. Maxi Glamour, a gender-bending traveling polka demon. And last but definitely not least, Landon Cider, a shapeshifting glam-drogynous drag king.

This season is gonna pack the biggest punch, and accompanying them is a rotating panel of amazing celebrity guest judges from horror worlds of music, television, and movies. The guest judges include Henry Rollins (Black Flag), Milly Shapiro (Hereditary), Rachel True (The Craft), Bonnie Aarons (The Nun/Conjuring 2), Darren Stein (Jawbreaker), Michael Varrati (Dead for Filth), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Danielle Harris (Halloween 4/5) and many more queer nightlife legends and surprise guest judges that will be revealed once the season airs.

The Boulet Brother's Dragula will air every Tuesday exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, starting on August 27, 2019.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
