 Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. In this blog I wanted to tell you about an American reality show called Rupaul Drag Race.

It's a reality show about drag queens who each week must do different challenges and model in front of the iconic Rupaul, to win the title of America's Drag Superstar.

The show is produced, directed and hosted by drag queen Rupaul, who is also an actor, singer and songwriter. He is an icon for the drag world, when he signed a modelling contract with MAC he became the first drag queen supermodel, in fact he is considered the most successful drag queen in the USA.

The show has 13 seasons of which 12 are on the Netflix platform, the show has versions in different countries and other programmes have been released, such as All Stars where former participants of the reality show compete. The programme consists of two different challenges each week, the first is a mini-challenge, which are simple and short and finally they move on to the main challenge, these are varied, they can be dancing, singing, acting, costume design, comedy, among others.

The programme consists of two different challenges each week, the first is a mini-challenge, which are simple and short and finally they move on to the main challenge, these are varied, they can be dancing, singing, acting, costume design, comedy, among others. Each chapter also has to parade on stage in different categories. After that, they choose the best and the worst of the week, a winner is chosen and the two worst must face each other in a lipsync in front of Rupaul and the jury and the loser is eliminated from the show.

The truth is that I love this show, it's super entertaining, you learn a lot about queer culture and you realise the talent and hard work behind every drag queen. Rupaul Drag Race is a hit in the USA and around the world and has won over 30 awards, including the Emmy Awards, where it has won 9 times in different categories, for me this is very important because, as part of the lgbtqi+ community I think this kind of TV show is important because it opens up a lot of spaces for people from the community, it gives them a voice and a place in a world that is still so full of homophobia.

here are some pictures of some of my favourite participants (not all of them because I have a lot haha)

Do private schools offer higher quality education or are they just prestigious?

 I think this will depend, because on one hand by having a higher income, you can pay better teachers, also the school has better infrastructure, which makes it easier for students to study and more pleasant for them, so they will benefit and you will have more opportunities than other students who study in schools with very bad infrastructure and bad environment. It should also be taken into account that people who study in private schools have the possibility to pay for private teachers in case they have difficulties in any subject, an option that most of the students in our country do not have. So I think that all of this makes the education in these schools better, but on the other hand I feel that most of their students lack knowledge beyond their own reality, I feel that they may have a lot of knowledge in different areas but most of them don't know the reality of their country, they are locked in their bubble, I think that it is not worth having so much knowledge if you can't apply it to your daily life, I think that the experiences that most middle class people live are more fruitful than knowing about mathematics or chemistry and that kind of thing.

 Is religion important to you?

For that question, I don´t have one answer, because in actually I am not part of any religion, because I dont believe in them, buuuuut my family is catholic (they never go to church, but they are considered catholic) and wen I was a child I went to catholic school even when I was 13 years old, actually. In those years I was baptized, I did my first communion and even I did the confirmation. For all those years I prayed every night, I thanked God and prayed for my family and friends. But with the over time, there were many things about catholic religion that didn't make sense to me, I think despises women and lgtbq+ communitty, also I lived many things that seemed unfair to me, like the death of my little cousin, he was seven years old and suffered a lot and the death of my best friend when we were 14 years old, I couldn´t understend why the good people suffers so much and I went away of religion.

Nowadays I thinks religions are used to control people, I don´t deny the existence of god or many gods (I like that idea more) but I don´t believe in religions, I like to think in the energy of the universe, in the karma and astrology (lol) and I oppose to the catholic religion, but I can´t deny what was important to me and that helped me to be who I am today.

 Health:

I think that health is a very important issue in our country, because in Chile, the health is a privilege and not a rigth. I live in Puente Alto commune and my house is behind of the hospital Sotero Del Rio, so I know many people who is served there and I can´t find a another word to discribe that what unworthy. My grandfather was over 80 years old when was treated in that hospital, the attetion was so bad, that despite not being quite well, my grandfather asked to be discharged "I can´t take anymore" tell us, long hours of waiting, yo don´t seem to care anybody, the spaces are dirty, you have to take care of you thinks because, if you are careless they rob you even being hospitalized, among many other degrading things. Unfortunaly for many people the public health is the only option, I remeber when my grandfather was a emergency to a clinic, they didn´t want to respect "the law of urgency" and we had to figth for that, because the bill was very expensive and we don´t have much money. There is a lot of different between a hospital and a clinic, in a clinic the attetion is more personal, the procedures is more faster, the spaces are clean, everything is more worthy. I think it´s unfair, only those who have money can qualify for quality health and I think we should all figth for this.

How has your political views changed during your lifetime?

in my life my political views have changed a lot, because, when I was a child I go to a catholic and conservative school, in that school most of people were "right" and I didn't know much about politics, because in that school there was no talk about that, so I didn´t have a strong opinion about political. When I grew up and I changed school, I just had a bigger vision about politics, in that school we talk a lot about politcs and we had debates about that. I think my political tendencies are more to the "left" and I think that everything we do is political, I think how we treat people is political, who I choose as friend is political, my relationship is political and etc. I think it is not necessary to belong to a political side to do good a community, I think is more important what we do daily, be a good person and figth for injustices. In actually I we must to figth for a lgbtq+ community, for feminism, for free abortion, for political prisioners, for a fairer country.
