Ep 231: Happy Pride 2023 f/ Freddie & Jim of Thotlite Pod

The Shade Parade

Get ready to sashay and slay, because it's Pride season, honey! Welcome back to The Shade Parade, where we're celebrating all things fabulous and fierce. Our hosts, Viki Villainess and Ari Kiki, are joined by special guests Freddie and Jim from the Thotlite Podcast. Together, we're bringing you the juiciest gossip, the shadiest commentary, and enough laughter to make RuPaul herself gag. But before we dive into the fabulousness, let's address the elephant in the room. After her recent appearance on GMA, Ari Kiki has officially reached a level of fame that's just too high for all you basic bitches. She's transcended the mortal realm and is now living her best celebrity life. Bow down, darlings! Now, onto the flaming topics that have been setting the world on fire. First up, we've got President Biden breaking a hip? Say it ain't so! We hope he's okay, but we can't help but chuckle at the thought of him turning corners in the West Wing and taking a tumble. Maybe he should leave the walking to the professionals. In other news, hold onto your wigs, because "And Just like That" is making a comeback on June 22. That's right, Kim Cattrall is returning as Samantha, but not without a few conditions. We can't wait to see what spicy drama awaits us in the new season. Will Samantha still be the sex-crazed vixen we know and love, or has she turned over a new leaf? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, "The Little Mermaid" is making history in more ways than one. The film has faced a wave of negative reviews on IMDb, prompting the website to change its rating system. Looks like some folks just can't handle a little underwater magic and fabulous singing crustaceans. We say, let Ariel live her truth! In a shocking turn of events, the Dodgers have snubbed the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence during their Christian Faith Family Day. Clayton Kershaw explains it all, but we're not buying it. We're all about inclusivity, and we won't stand for any discrimination, honey. Everyone deserves a chance to sashay on the basketball field. And speaking of inclusivity, Target is feeling the heat and backing off from their Pride support. Rainbow capitalism strikes again! A designer says what we're all thinking: it's time for corporations to do more than just slap a rainbow on their products. Let's keep the activism and support for the LGBTQ+ community year-round, not just during Pride month. Finally, we must bid farewell to a true icon. The legendary Tina Turner, may she rest in power, never had the chance to meet her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It's a bittersweet reminder that even the biggest stars have their own personal struggles. We'll continue to celebrate Tina's legacy and keep her music alive in our hearts. That's a wrap on this glitter-filled, sass-infused episode of The Shade Parade. Thanks for joining us as we sashayed through the hottest topics of the moment. Remember, love yourself, love others, and always serve up the fiercest shade. Stay fabulous, darlings!
