Has Beens Unite

Let's face it, people like me are all stuck in the best moments of their lives even if it's still some of the best. While brainstorming guests for Season 4 of The Fabulous D Show it was remarked that my list was full of has beens! Upon taking a look it made me realize that I find it very hard to take interest in new things. It's just not that interesting to me if it doesn't have a connection to something that helped spark me originally. That doesn't mean I made a list of people you've already heard on my show (or heard anywhere for that matter). It means I made a list of people who are not particularly on the radar anymore.

What delighted Rosie O'Donnell most on her talk show was having her childhood infatuations on to interview. That theme has been seen again and again on almost anyone's show. There are always new things tantalizing the newest generation. To us it will never be like the stuff we first fell in love with. It's just like how a child born into Myspace has never felt quite right with Facebook. Just like how The Internet's First Super Stars would never feel all that comfortable in the 21st century social networking era of the Internet. I will always want to have more people to interview from before than after, just because it brings me a fuzzy feeling of nostalgia along with unearthing some relics for you all to take a peek at. If we didn't have talk show hosts clinging to their first inspirations there would be far less variety for the new to pick from. Neopostmodernism at it's finest, we've all taken a little of then to make a lot of now.

Did RuPaul bring Michelle Visage on as a regular to RuPaul's Drag Race just because Michelle is fabulous? While that's reason enough that wasn't the reason at all. They were hosting The RuPaul Show when I was just a baby queen. They had history. History with each other and history with all the baby queens they communicated to. What is the first thing I thought when I saw Michelle again? Not about the fierce divas they are, but who they were to me. It's Ru and Michelle back together just like "we were" in 1996!
