This Is the Best-Ever Impression of Little Edie Bouvier Beale
[There was a video here]
Drew Barrymore, eat your heart out. On last night's RuPaul's Drag Race was the annual Snatch Game challenge, in which the competing queens must impersonate a celebrity and act it out in a game show scenario a la The Match Game (even the challenges of this show are in drag). One of the contestants, Jinkx Monsoon, busted out an impression of cult hero Little Edie Bouvier Beale (as immortalized in the Maysels brothers' 1975 documentary Grey Gardens) that was so spot on, all it was missing was the scent of cat urine. Most of Jinkx's competitors had no idea who Little Edie was and were condescending about it instead of being ashamed like they should have been.
Jinkx ended up winning the challenge, confirming that hers was indeed the best costume for the day.
It's worth noting that in an additional stroke of genius, the Snatch Game contestants (and the week's guest judges) were none other than late-'80s/early-'90s MTV staples Julie Brown and "Downtown" Julie Brown. Reunited and it felt so good.
