![]() Given these stereotypes, it may come as little surprise that a show that focuses on drag queens and drag culture has been so open about featuring queer Asian Americans. ![]() Winter Han, for example, discusses the ways in which Asian American drag queens “emphasize femininity to gain recognition and notoriety as a way to overcome marginalization within the gay community.” Indeed, I’ve had white men fetishize my Asianness in tandem with my femininity one ex, for example, referred to me as a “ bishounen” (Japanese for “pretty boy,” referring to male characters in Japanese media with highly feminine features, often targeted towards female audiences) when he discovered that I did drag. While this stereotype has (rightly) been the target of much criticism within Asian American circles, for many assigned-male-at-birth (AMAB) trans/gender-nonconforming (GNC) Asians, it can be a source of empowerment instead. In Western pop culture, Asian men are often portrayed as un-masculine or even fully feminine. Cosmetics so I could finally learn to do my own makeup properly. When I could finally afford to, I bought a haul from E.L.F. After that, I went out to parties with those same girls a couple more times in drag I’ll never forget the first time someone referred to me as a “lady,” even though I still hadn’t quite figured out how to do my makeup (it was dark in that club!). Even though I watched Michelle Phan on YouTube, I didn’t wear any makeup. I borrowed their clothes and a cheap Ricky’s wig and bought a pair of cheap heels from Payless that I didn’t yet know how to walk in. I first did drag my senior year of college, dressing in character with two of my girlfriends as a performance art piece. Watching RPDR for the first time, I learned that there was a place for me. But, while I never necessarily felt pressured to fit into any particular image of masculinity, I also did not quite understand that there were other possibilities. I even have a photograph my mother took of me as a young child wearing her friend’s daughter’s dress. As a child, I had always associated more with girls and girl culture-I preferred Sailor Moon over Dragonball Z and almost all my friends were girls. ![]() ![]() By proudly proclaiming herself “Fat, Fem & Asian” both on television and online, Kim Chi used her media visibility to transform these stigmatized characteristics into things to be celebrated.Īs a queer Asian American, I’ve been fascinated by RPDR since I first watched it as a junior in art school, when one of my classmates showed a clip of Cameroonian drag queen and Season one winner Bebe Zahara Benet in a class about immigrant visual culture. Her appearance on the show was groundbreaking, not because she was the first Asian American to compete (Asian American drag queens have competed on nearly every season, with Raja becoming the first Asian winner as early as the third season), but because of the candid ways in which she talked about her insecurities over her Asianness, her queerness, and her body image. My name is Kim Chi, and say ‘Hello’ to yellow!'” Soon after, she marketed t-shirts with the slogan, “Yas fats / Yas fems / Yas Azns” on her website, with proceeds being donated to The Los Angeles LGBT Center, Proud2Share, and Shape Up America. As someone who is all of the above, I understand your pain. In the seventh episode, in a mock presidential campaign challenge, she announced, “Shady gays believe in: No fats, no femmes, and no Asians. Korean American drag queen Kim Chi became a fan favorite on the eighth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race ( RPDR) when she took a stand against the superficial standards of racism, hyper-masculinity, and body-shaming in the queer male community.

![]() He hugged LeBron, greeted friends and loved ones, and enjoyed every single second. As soon as the game started, the chants erupted, "Messi, Messi, Messi." and Leo just sat on the bench, smiling at his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three children. But in the end, especially in the first half, nothing else mattered aside from Messi. The stadium's DJ - knowing the audience - played Bad Bunny, Regaton and Latin trap music throughout as Spanish and English blended throughout the evening. Oh, did I mention there were massive helicopters circling the arena too? Latina artist Becky G sang the national anthem as fireworks lit up the sky before kickoff. Names like LeBron James and Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian and Marc Anthony - they all sat in the VIP suites, which in true Miami spirit, are literally meters away from the players. Celebrities and superstars were also present, hoping to be inspired. The only name that could cause such excitement. ![]() The only name that was on the back of their shirts. Under a clear, densely humid sky, a capacity crowd of 20,000 clad in pink and black danced, banged drums and chanted the only name they had eagerly been waiting for. Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.) The Argentine manager reacted the same way the rest of us did when Messi struck an incredulous stoppage time free-kick winner to seal a 2-1 win over Liga MX side Cruz Azul on Friday in group stage action of the Leagues Cup, which sent the crowd at DRV PNK Stadium into a electric sense of joy.īut if we treat this moment like a movie, as Martino rightly points out, then this story first needs a setting and an atmosphere that led to this almost inconceivable finale. "It was like a movie that will play on repeat forever," said Inter Miami CF coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino after watching Lionel Messi's latest amazing feat. All you can do is marvel at the magic, thank the football gods that you were there to witness it and, most importantly, offer gratitude to the magician who made it happen. There is no point in analyzing or trying to bring logic to it. Sometimes in this game of ours, an ending is so perfectly written it defies belief.

The match finished 5-4, with both finding the net. Something similar happened with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, with the Portuguese forward playing for Riyadh All Stars XI, comprised of footballers from Al-Nassr and Al Hilal, against Messi's PSG in an exhibition game. Played at the Audi Field in Washington, the MLS All-Stars will be managed by Wayne Rooney and could feature Messi for a few minutes in order to further increase the hype surrounding his debut for Inter Miami. However, there is a possibility that Messi plays his first game as a contracted Inter Miami player in the MLS All-Star game against Arsenal on July 19, before pulling on the pink strip of the Florida-based team. The all-new Leagues Cup home game against Cruz Azul on July 21 could be his first outing in an Inter Miami shirt, though, with the month-long tournament contested by every teams from MLS and Liga MX providing a useful opportunity for Messi to make his debut. Therefore, reports are suggesting he'll miss those games, with Inter Miami's home game against Charlotte on August 21 the likely first MLS game of his career. However, after starting his 2022/23 campaign with PSG in the first week of August, playing every game in Qatar on the way to winning the World Cup, and only finishing in France on June 3, it's inevitable Messi will require a break for a few weeks.

Trump’s comments on the Access Hollywood video left me speechless. Trump’s refrain about being unpredictable in war made me think he’d be lousy at a board game, such as the appropriately-titled RISK (or Trump: The Game, for that matter.)

Trump’s ridiculous speculation of the DNC hacker (and definite fat-shaming) made me wonder if he was a fan of South Park. (Note: I resisted the urge to substitute Chris Christie’s face, because he’s not 400 pounds. The only time I broke with my trusted format was to borrow a promotional photo of Christian Bale from American Hustle. (Thanks to Despicable Me for the image.)

(Thanks to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring for the image.) He seems to fit right in. So, I had a little fun with the name of one of them, probably to lessen my stress. Trump’s lead in some polls was reason for concern. The question of when Trump would ‘pivot’ reminded me of the spoon scene from The Matrix. Then, a flurry of events forced my hand (and mouse.)

When it came time for Trump’s acceptance speech, an image alone couldn’t convey what I wanted to say. My meme muse didn’t speak to me again until the Republican National Convention. And thus my first meme, a wordless image, was born. Would he make it to the Iowa Caucus, or even the first primary contests? I saw him as the political equivalent of Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog.

"The IDF forces include medical teams and Arabic speakers, who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians."
