today's video is sponsored by Manscaped.com find the note it's me Buslett Johansson and
welcome back to HOT or ROT and we've got some interesting things to cover today including
the most recent arrests of James AKA Tyra Sanchez and Twitter drama between Cynthia
Lee Fontaine and Charli XCX did not have that one on my bingo card and finally we'll end
with a quick breakdown of RuPaul's Drag Race All-Star season 8 episode 10. the one about
the letter L where our queens were challenged to give makeovers to our lesbian sisters and
first up the arrest so as reported by Entertainment Weekly in an article by
Joey Nolfi James Ross AKA formerly known as but currently resurrecting for a limited period of
time Tyra Sanchez has been arrested again but this time for protesting their first arrest which
occurred several months ago and concerning that first arrest EW originally reported Tyra whose
real name is James William Ross was arrested on May 17th at 5 26 pm after reporting officer Jay
responded to A Minor vehicle crash The partially redacted report does not provide further details
on the interaction but indicated that the 35 year old was charged with resisting an officer without
violence and simple assault on an officer and was later taken to the Bradford County jail
and concerning the more recent arrest the article from EW reads Ross was arrested
Thursday after publicly protesting his initial May 17 arrests for allegedly resisting arrest
after a car accident and in the article is a quote from the chief of police who
told EW we've arrested James William Ross he came out and was in his little outfit and he
had the police sign hanging it up and showing and dancing he was in a little g string with a
black bra on it was still within the freedom of speech category the problem we had was it
was an intersection within a construction zone but it wasn't really causing a traffic problem
but it became an issue when Ross went home and returned after strapping on a big old
item under his tights he comes back on the road and starts shaking it and that's when
people started stopping and cussing at him and causing a traffic problem it was bad from
there on says Johnson adding that Ross will be booked on one charge for breach of Peace
concerning what James AKA Tyra has said about the situation EW did also get an
email from them where they report they wrote a drag queen is wrongfully arrested the drag
queen protest the charges are dropped drag queen is cleared and now a week later new
charges of exposure of organs because the drag queen protested in drag get real and so what
the outcome of all this will be, there's no way to know yet but I'll keep a close eye
in the situation and in the meantime of course wish James AKA Tyra only the best
and next up, if we've got another what I can only describe as a bizarre situation

and for some quick context here I'll be talking about an Instagram account 360_brat which is an
account I believe owned and actually operated by Charli herself where she shares Insider or behind
the scenes information with fans who have been able to gain access to this account anyways it
was on this account where she was doing a q a on her Instagram story and a fan asked Charli for her
thoughts on Feed the Beast the new album by Kim Petras and to this question Charli responded I
haven't listened yet but I did read the patriarch review which I felt was interesting the Pitchfork
review by the way gave the album a 4.3 and ended with these thoughts online and an interview she's
funny and smart clearly a master of the subtle irony that Stan Twitter adores but there is such
a thing perhaps as wanting mainstream Fame too much so much that you'll let all your Edge get
sanded away so not exactly a glowing review but back to what Charli said I love Cam and
I think she's exceptionally talented I've seen her work I've seen her right and I've seen her
natural instinct it's very good I think she's in an interesting spot as an artist right now the way
I see it is that she's in a phase where commercial success is more important than wholeheartedly
following her artistic Instinct perhaps and I've been in that phase before so that's why I think
I can recognize when someone else is there too I think it's a crucial phase that some of us need
to experience to further access our own core and learn the lesson that her own voices are the most
powerful and convicted in the room despite all the additional voices that have opinions that
are always circling around and these thoughts found Charli about Cam and her new album feed
the beast and its Pitchfork review were shared on Twitter where Cindy Lee Fontaine chimed into the
conversation writing so haven't heard it yet and she decided to make a comment based on someone's
review cringe and then about 10 days later on July 7th Charli responded to Cynthia writing no I chose
to comment not on another person's review but in my experience of Kim as an artist whom I've
collaborated with many times artists are so much more than singular albums great artists generate
culture and conversation station the transcends music I'm giving my thoughts on Kim's current
position as an artist in 2023 through the lens of my own personal experiences don't try with me
and it was to this that Cynthia responded don't you dare trying to teach me how Artistry works
I'm aware how it works but the music business and culture and interaction derives not just
only on comments between colleagues but also your own criteria point of view and personal
expertise do better ignorant and uh kimchi there responded to Cynthia writing the music business
is under the chat with a gif of her on her roller skates from season nine but Cynthia
wasn't in there she later added a couple more thoughts to this Twitter thread writing do not
judge the book by its cover leave you with that bye boom and then after apparently dealing with
backlash from Charli's fans Cynthia later wrote on Twitter in a separated thread not the Carlita
XXXX minus brain and talent trying to read me for some POV she shared it was wrong this person needs
to touch some grass also so I learned this from my grandmother don't judge a book by its cover
do better hashtag trash hashtag she thinks is mothering mother who and uh I don't know y'all
I need some water I'm certainly not here to pick sides in this Twitter beef but the whole
thing does feel like a misunderstanding of a misunderstanding because from the jump the
tweet that Cynthia originally responded to concerning this whole situation was sort of
misrepresenting what was actually happening in the screenshots they shared where they
wrote Charli XCX shares her thoughts and feed the beast and as we read and as we saw Charli
point out Charli was not sharing her thoughts on the Beast she was sharing her thoughts on him as
an artist and where she is in the industry given Charli's perspective and having been there herself
in the past but anyways this certainly was a strange situation and that's how it all fell
out and hopefully behind the scenes these two can make up or not they probably don't care to
based on this interaction I don't know that's not my problem and that's neither here nor there but
really that was the last thing I expected to see go down on Twitter this past week like
wild anyways let's go ahead and jump into the most recent episode of All Stars eight our Queens we're
challenged to give makeovers to some of the elves the L words the lesbians of the lgbtqia2 plus
etc etc and first of all we've got Jessica Wild who's paired with Lisa, a self-admitted shy cat
lady with the obvious challenge being that Jessica will need to find the Wild Side to
make her part of the wild family at least you have a really great relatable moment in the
work room together where they're discussing being bullied in high school for just being themselves
which transitions to Lisa talking about rejecting dresses ever since she was a child and her mom
would force her into them but she's happy to say that she's now here on drag race on her own accord
and ready to explore that feminine side a little bit and see what the drag fantasy has to offer
and their makeover look is giving me a little Gaga a little McQueen a little Gaga in McQueen
the style is very much leaning into that Jessica Wild's Glam Rock fantasy that she
likes to tap into I think the only critique you could give this makeover is the one the
judges gave them about Kitty's shoes being not necessarily matching with the outfit or
Jessica as a sister pair but it'll also point out these makeover partners are people who
don't necessarily wear heels all the time and I'm guessing this was more of a comfort based
choice for Kitty rather than a stylistic one on Jessica's behalf anyways this look is hot
and next up we've got Jimbo who's partnered up with lesbian Amanda Faye in the work room
where Amanda has struggled a lot with the societal Beauty standard and I spent a lot of time trying
to keep people's attention off of her but is here at drag race to find out if she can figure out
how to embrace the idea of drawing attention to herself an ironic thing about being partnered with
Jimbo is if there's one Queen on this stage who is gonna help you draw some attention to yourself
it's Jimbo but it's not necessarily in the way that Amanda is interested in exploring because
we see in the workroom Jimbo showing Amanda some of the what I think we're supposed to be Mickey
Mouse callback outfits to her Canada's Drag Race season 1 entrance look and she is not having it
at all... and Jimbo can sense how her partner is feeling and instead of going for the crazy
Mickey Mouse Clown look she opts for a more sensible little black dress for both her and
[ __ ] delicious I think Jimbo's makeup and hair are transferred beautifully to her face
and these two absolutely look like drag sisters and yes the obvious critique here
is that these little black dresses don't say much about Jumbo's greater drag aesthetic and
the clownery that she participates in but I thought it was a really beautiful moment
that Jimbo was able to acknowledge how [ __ ] was feeling when she was putting her into drag
and opted for the look that ultimately made [ __ ] feel more comfortable and empowered
while on stage so did I want more yes of course but at least [ __ ] felt sassy and that's hot
and that's comedy and next up Kandalizza Muse who ends up with and just her makeover partner
who describes herself as Butch and proud however because of her Butch and proud identity she finds
herself nervous to embrace her feminine side here on drag race it's something she says she spent
her whole life pushing away but hopes to find a new comfort with it and ultimately herself as a
person and it was really great to watch these two connect in the work room because Kandy tells us
that her mother is actually lesbian and Butch and proud just like Anne so needless to say these two
got along perfectly and their Runway looks were phenomenal come out in these 60s color blocked
pastel pinks white and greens and both Kandy and her partner looks so so so beautiful here and I
love how easy it is to see that Kandy had a Clear Vision of what she wanted to do on the runway with
her makeover partner and 100 executed on that Vision I love love love the updos with the bows
and the hair and everything she did was absolutely Flawless on this Runway it absolutely plus she was
able to instill that Kandy Muse confidence in her partner which is I think a really big struggle
for makeover Partners in general and that I think has a lot less to do with each Queen in
the competition's ability to instill confidence in somebody and more to do with that person's
actual personal comfortability of being on stage in front of cameras with big crazy lights in front
of a judging panel knowing that what they're doing is going to be seen by an international audience
like most of the makeover Partners they pull for these things are not even local community
theater stage performers okay much less people ready for a full choreographed lip sync in front
of all the things I just said right like this is a very foreign experience so I think it was
really great to just see these three different makeover Partners have fun in the episode and
clearly enjoy the drag experience I don't think it's totally fair to judge the Queen's performance
in the episode based on like the lip sync that their Partners gave because again that is just
a totally different thing which is why I also didn't include a discussion of their lips and
performances in my ratings today but our win does go to Kandy Muse rightly so purely I think based
on the makeover that she gave it was the cleanest most polished look and I mean girl you can't knock
it which brings it to the Kandy versus Priyanka lip sync and I did react to this lip sync over
on my patreon at patreon.com/BussyQueen that's my members only website my Patron family gets
exclusive member benefits like early access to my YouTube videos and access to exclusive
videos like those reactions and you can join by clicking the link in the description of my video
see you there but before we see the slip sync we do hear Roo announce that if Kandy loses the lip
sync and the choice to send somebody home falls on the two queens who were in The Bottom this
week and there is a tie that the responsibility for sending somebody home will fall back on the
winner of this week which is a lot of words to say Kandy is going to have the decision of elimination
tonight no matter what because obviously Jimbo and Jessica won't be voting for themselves right
right so this lip sync was really fun I think in a lot of different ways Priyanka is a wild performer
like she will just be doing all kinds of random stuff on stage and like sometimes it makes sense
and sometimes it doesn't but it's always fun and Kandy I think gave a really Stellar lip sync to
this song which for me personally made more sense given the song and I actually would have given the
win the Kandy here but Rue gives the win to Priyanka when then enacts the special rules
of Jimbo and Jessica didn't vote for themselves so Kandy's gonna have to pull out the lipstick and he
comes back and pulls out the lipstick and reveals she has not voted for Jimbo but for Jessica and
this really did gag me a little bit for sure because girl had so much drama this season about
specifically the elimination possibility of Kandy Muse sending Jimbo home if she saw Jimbo in the
bottom you know remember all that stuff with Heidi and what Heidi said that Kandy said that Alexa
said she heard but then said she didn't hear that was hashed out back and forth and many different
ways in many different places but all that is to say I thought Kandy would be sending Jimbo home
because she was the bigger competition four wins four wins can you imagine having that opportunity
and not doing it gagaroni macaroni that's the gag of the Season honey but yeah Kandy chooses
to eliminate Jessica and I was personally happy to see this decision not because she was sending
Jessica home I honestly think it's a travesty that we're doing a final two we're not a final three
especially given how great these three have done throughout the entire competition it just feels
wrong to send Jessica home but I was happy to see this happen solely because this really has felt
like Jimbo's season in a lot of different ways and all of her wins now against all of Kandy's wins I
think will make for a much more interesting finale because it really is so close and these Queens
have done so great and I'm excited to see what happens and now for my final thoughts honestly the
only thing I wanted more of this episode was Zooey Deschanel who's that girl it's Jess and finally
it's for my hottest hot in the episode I'm going to give my hottest makeover to Kandy and cookie
Muse and I also asked my patrons about on their hottest Hots and this week they've chosen Kandy
and cookie and finally I want to say thanks so much to you for watching today's video and give an
