I think she's the one Michelle will pick on this year. She was pissed Ru picked her as the winner of Ep 1.

"Stop rely on that body!"  She seems like the queen who is all looks, kinda like this season's Carmen.  Which means she will make it to the end =(

Carmen didn't make it to the end, though. She was booted and then brought back and booted again. Although Carmen... it's interesting because it goes along with the previous discussion as to Michelle's back and forth on certain things. She seems to really love fishy queens as all of the queens that have been brought back (that I can think of) were the fishy type. The two that spring immediately to mind are Carmen and Kenya who really didn't have much to offer outside of looking gorgeous. And the thing about both of them was that they loved to show body but the body they showed tended to be more feminine.

 

In the Alaska/Bianca commentary when Violet was walking the final runway with the 'nude illusion' Alaska pointed out that Michelle hates boy body -- which is true (although I really wish she had called Courtney out on that more because Courtney had all SORTS of boy body) and she doesn't like boy drag, either. So it will depend on what Violet puts out there. At the moment, she seems to be all look but that first challenge was all look. We'll see how she does when it comes to performance.

Heck, the first challenge wasn't even that since the nude runway didn't really require the queens to build a real look, just put on a body stocking and wrap. Which does annoy me, the 'create a look from complete crap material' really does set out some basic skill levels. I kind of wonder if they avoided it because too many of the queens this season lacked skill in that area(i've noticed the younger queens seem to be getting progressively less skilled at basics like sewing).

She looks like a girl out of drag too so I don't think she really makes much of a transformation when she dresses in drag. Maybe she is in the process of transitioning? I think she will make it far based on her bitchy villain edit, and she also reminds me of Carmen Carrera who also was in the top 5 before getting cut.

I just learned via Google that Violet's also an aerialist. Too bad RuPaul's Drag Race is unlikely to let her do any performances in the air. That's a complete other aspect to her that hasn't even been hinted at.

Ask and YouTube shall provide

 

I'll also give my unsolicited opinion on the quality of her aerial work (I'm an aerialist). In that performance, she's demonstrating intermediate student level skill, not pro level. She would never get hired as an aerialist without the drag element, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's generally working for clubs that were already interested in her as a drag artist, and the aerial was just a nice add on.

 

But she shows a lot of potential. She's got good flexibility and strength, and her musicality, facial expressions, and dance touches are wonderful. There are a fair amount of pro aerialists who have amazing technique, but don't have the performance quality Violet showcases there. So if Violet keeps up her training and works on her feet, she'll be amazing. I look forward to seeing what her routines look like with another year or two of training under her belt.

Violet now has a new claim to fame. The Nancy Drews over at Reddit have uncovered her porn past as "Frankie Malone". I know the adult video makers have to be very careful about such things - but he looks disturbingly young. So far they have only uncovered solo stuff. Ru has always been OK with porn in general - but we'll see how this affects the decisions he and the producers have to make in the next few weeks. I find the timing rather suspect.

Whaaa??  Are we talking just naughty pictures or the hard core stuff?  Enh it seems like a lot of queens do this sort of stuff.  I remember last season Adore & Joslyn had some sexy, sexy photos out but nothing like vulgar.  Hell even our sweet Bianca was in a porn (no naughty bits shown though, just speaking part--I checked)

I haven't seen any pics. But I've seen two definitely NSFW preview clips of the video he made for a site called BoyFun (it's a solo video, where his costar is his own hand, if you catch my drift.) I'd be glad to post the links to the videos if I wasn't at work right now. :(

To her great credit, Violet has acknowledged her porn past. She tweeted something along the lines of "vintage smut lol."

 I skimmed through part of Violet/Brandon/Joey Malone's video, and it's 110% her five years ago or so (presuming she was her quoted age in the video, eighteen). It's a fairly standard twink solo (e.g. masturbation) video, in which here's a preceding racy interview with an unseen older interviewer, presumably to tantalize the viewer with accounts of her past sexual exploits and current sexual tastes. It really pales in comparison to Detox or Jade Jolie's porn pasts, which included multiple videos and explicit penetration. Jade Jolie even starred in Nazi porn! I don't think it will hurt Violet's chances at a win. Previous winners Raja and Sharon have unspecified criminal records, most likely for drugs, and Violet/Brandon/Joey didn't do anything illegal. Many drag queens come from "difficult" or troubled backgrounds at the social fringe, and experiment with activities outside the presumed social norm or have to look for ways to make ends meet. What makes me feel more bad for Violet is that it appears that there may have been self-harm scars on her inner thighs, and that she admits to having had sex at a rather young age in circumstances I'd consider emotionally abusive at worst and emotionally unhealthy at best.. One funny part of the video is that we learn her affinity for all things vintage extends to porn :).

 

I'm going to spoiler tag the following, in case posters don't want to read anything explicit.

I have a lot more respect for Violet's smooth tuck and corseting skills after seeing the size of her Chachki. Girlfriend has quite the piece of meat. Her Johnson, while not monstrously enormous, is quite large indeed.

And just when I thought that I couldn't love Violet any more than I already do...

I was under the impression that Violet's real life name is Jason, and that the name she used in the video was Frankie Malone. Although there could be more than one video. (Dear god, I hope there is...)

From the Entertainment Weekly recap of episode 12, "And the Rest is Drag":

All tea all shade, but after this week, I’m missing Katya even more than before. Katya was the bridge between the Bitter Old Lady Brigade and the “Pretty Girls.” When she was around, there was always someone to root for. I usually side with the elder stateswomen, but watching Ginger Minj and Kennedy Davenport go after Violet Chachki the way they did wasn’t cute at all and made Violet look like a saint in comparison. If they were trying to psych Violet out, they failed, because queens who are as dumbly arrogant as Violet don’t lose confidence in themselves that easily. It was a little funny when Ginger said to Violet, “You can’t be such a bitch!” Meanwhile, Violet was calmly beating her face and not retaliating. Ginger and Kennedy need to “condone” themselves a little better and learn a little bit more from Pearl’s flazaydah way of life.

 

Before we get to this week’s challenges, we first got to see the queens gab with Ru over a nutritious meal of Tic Tacs, which Ru was blending into a healthy organic smoothie. I love these mother-daughter brunch dates every season because it’s an opportunity for our queens to gain some much-needed character development.… 

 

Violet didn’t seem to have all that much to say, but Ru nevertheless seemed fascinated. This isn’t a read, but Ru is pulling a Tyra Sanchez all over again with Violet this season. (No one has ever said “This isn’t a read” without reading a queen like a Bible in the next breath.) But I think Ru for whatever reason sees something of herself in Violet and chooses to find a lot of depth in her that may not be there. Remember when Ru decided the other queens hated Violet because Violet was too busy reading fashion blogs to learn how to deal with other people, even though Violet never said anything to make us believe that? I can’t help but think Ru is spinning this narrative of Violet being exceptionally talented, even though we haven’t seen much evidence to support that. As Justin said, “Violet can cinch and she’s seen Victor Victoria—big deal!”

You're right, it's Jason (as last night's episode proved.) I don't especially hope there are more videos, though. Joey Malone would have needed to eat a few sandwiches and age a few years to flood my basement.
