“How do I look?” For those missing the flair, the glamor and the bitchy queens of “Project Runway,” try giving “RuPaul’s Drag Race” on Logo a look. The show airs Monday nights at 10pm, with last week’s episode at 9pm. I imagine soon they’ll have a marathon of all episodes shown one weekend soon. I believe you can also watch past episodes online at Logo’s website.

The show is pretty much what you’d expect, a bunch of drag queens competing for the crown. However each week there are different challenges. One week it was to make an outfit out of thrift store goods. Another week it was to put together girl groups and lip sync to a selected song (but they had to do the hair and costumes). Last week was an Oprah challenge, they not only had to put together an outfit that represented what Oprah was, but do an interview (Tori Spelling and husband Dean were the guests).

It’s amusing, and the guest stars and judges are just insane. As I said Tori and Dean were on once, for the lip sync challenge they had Kelly Williams from Destiny’s Child. It’s become a guilty pleasure that I have been tuning into every week. It’s no “Project Runway” for sure, but it’s a damn good substitute!
