You perhaps cannot begin to imagine the level of my excitement when I found out that Rupaul's Drag Race was not only continuing beyond a single season, but that we'd be treated to its airing here on Foxtel (Tuesdays at 9:30pm on LifestyleYOU).

So excited, it turns out, that I wrote "pershaps".

While I change down and find my neutral space a bit, here's a picture of Rupaul as Michelle and Barack Obama:



Right. Back to business.

So, I thought it more or less impossible that anything would ever be able to top the greatest moment of television ever committed to tape, i.e. this moment from Season One's mime-off to Whitney Houston's The Greatest Love Of All:



But whaddya know, Season Two is even better, even camper, has even more sparkles, and is even more amazinger.

Last week, the contestants attempted a celebrity drag impersonation; Tatianna does a pitch perfect Britney Spears (Me Against The Music era) and babbles, "I like to play hide-the-cucumber?"

From there, the only way is up, so in episode five (airing this coming Tuesday), the contestants attempt a 'bride and groom' photo challenge.

The results are SPECTACULAR. So spectacular that I just wrote "spectactular" (a theme is emerging).

Before that, however, in the mini-challenge Rupaul instructs her charges to "apply that same creative genius" that they show in the runway challenges to... gift-wrapping!

If you never thought a plain white box could be turned into a gaymazing display of creativity, wash your mouth out with Elnett:



See?

From there it's on to the bride and groom challenge, and the results are amazing. First, the contestants jazz up some budget wedding gowns into something a little more befitting a true queen.

Tyra goes for broke the second the challenge begins; as Jujubee notes, "Tyra pushes the wedding dress cart in front of the fabric cart. Gurrrrl, you are so damn shady."

Eventually, a photoshoot is held, wherein - as Tatianna put it - they "marry the masculine and the feminine; you're marrying yourself". Literally; each contestant poses as both groom and bride.

I shouldn't really have to tell you the photos are amazing:



Yes, the show is over the top; yes, it perpetuates some outdated stereotypes about bitchy queens. But it also provides casual meditations on gender roles, marriage (in this episode), and is regularly touching.

Plus there are plenty of sparkles. You can't ask for much more in a reality show.
