Shangela is outshining the girls who dogged her


During her season, Shangela was regularly picked on by Raja, Delta Work and Manilla, but they've all faded back into obscurity while I regularly see Shangela on various Logo commercials and programs. Just desserts, I'd say.

Both Shangela and Jinkx get fairly regular work; even on the networks! I saw both in an episode of "Blue Bloods" a couple years ago! Of course Kelly Mantle & Willam are more out there in series work, bad movies, and past serials like "Nip/Tuck!" 

How camp.. You get network ads in USA with drag queens?? I'm surprised...

Outside USA thought, I hate to say that Raja and Manila are far more successful..

But I think its time to get over that whole dispute thing... Its been over 5 years ago. And it was on the filming of a television show.. I'm sure they all get along as well with Shangela as they do with each other...

If you are still holding a grudge or even held a grudge afterwards, I'd be very hesitant to befriend you...

The judges never held any personal feeling when eliminating, so why do you? If you want to compare her success you really should equate it better, and with a more comparable field, like all the contestants she was with in the whole season..

I haven't heard anything from Alexis, Yara or Stacey. They certainly haven't performed in London, Manchester, Sydney or Melbourne. Raja and Manila have done so quite a few times in the last few years and has always been sold out.. Shangela has once or twice maximum in the last few years, and she didn't sell out... Well she did, once, but she was touring with Alyssa and I'd say that she was the predominant one with the sales of the tickets. Alyssa was far more popular with my friends anyway...

Not that I'm looking, but with my limited expose and not exactly looking for instances of drag queen utilization! If they're working as regularly as you say, I just don't see them outside the commercials they produced for LOGO! With Shangela and Jinkx; mentioned them already! ξ€² 

Oh really? Then I'm afraid you do not know the actual meaning of fading into obscurity since both Raja & Manila have worked non-stop since Drag Race and are more popular than ever.

I feel the same way; a bit obscure IMO! They might be busy, but I don't see them! ξ€² 

It must just be on an international level then, that Raja and Manila are far more popular still....

Can I ask, all this "exposure" you talk about with Jinkx and Shangela, are they appearing in drag or as boys? If as boys then it is totally out of point... It has nothi8ng to do with their drag career or their success from drag race.

Either way, Raja and Manila are still very busy touring internationally. I don't know about the Americas, but at least away from North and South America they are far more active then both Jinkx and Shangela.

Nowadays, it is really easy to know what's going on with all our favorites queens via Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. For example, about 3 ago, Manila released her 15th single/music video "Working Holiday", a duet with Alaska.
