Back to Work, Back to Shade! 👜☕🔥

Summer break is over, and the dolls are clocked in, clocked tight, and clocking everyone in sight! On this episode of The Shade Parade, your favorite trio, Viki Villainess, Ari Kiki, and producer DJ, return from their sun-soaked shenanigans and dive right back into the drama.

👠 Viki is IRRITATED™, and this time it’s not the humidity, it’s her new job. Will she survive the retail life without dragging her coworkers in HR-safe language? TBD.
🏳️‍🌈 Ari’s back from the last leg of her Pride World Tour and DJ is recovering from his third (or was it fourth?) vacation. Must be nice.

We get into:
🚔 George Santos checking into sleepaway summer jail #SantosSlammer
🧂 Trump and his minions are back to spewing hate shock and the country continues its slow march toward fascist cosplay.
📺 Stephen Colbert’s Late Night show gets the axe, and we unpack what this means for actual late-night comedy and free speech.
🎭 That South Park episode that went so hard… and we're ready for a full season!
👑 And of course, we break down the winner and full riggory of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 10. Was it fair? Was it fabulous? Were we furious? Yes, yes, and yes.

Grab a cold drink and a handheld fan, because it’s hot girl rage summer, and we’re spilling iced tea all over it. 💋
