The Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Special

I knew her from Drag Race of course, but when I saw INFERNO A-GO-GO! In Ptown, I left convinced that DeLa would at some point accidentally write the 21st century's answer to "Angels in America." That hasn't happened yet, but she's definitely getting closer with each outing.

DeLa's dedicated to silly puns and gags, but her ambition and perfectionism always pushes her to be more insightful than the campy dictates of the form demands. The most "blasphemous" joke even turns out to a little profound.

The half hour covers a *lot* of ground and a lot of costumes. Jinkx is certainly no second fiddle and is in fine voice throughout. The two play off each others' persona's with ease.

We definitely need more specials. There's a bit too many "whimsical" takes on alcohol abuse here but there's a lot of very sharp meta-commentary going on as well. Sometimes needing everything to be "just perfect" pays off.
