Tonight, Rupaul's Drag Race's sophomore season premieres on Logo. Despite being a little disappointed that all the drag-testants are of of a similar cheesy, polished, vein of the sort that you see in Atlanta, or Vegas, or Riverside, CA, we still support the concept that drag queens make good television no matter who they are. We'd love it if more fun and witty drag queens were involved, but for now we'll still remain loyal viewers, perhaps even of the post-show that they're premiering as well, which is a behind-the-scenes companion show called Rupaul's Drag Race: Untucked! It will probably be as shitty as all these attempts to expand franchises using otherwise throwaway footage (Big Brother: After Dark anyone?), but we're willing to give it a chance because, as we said, drag queens make good TV.

The holidays are a time of much repetition, be it from Christmas songs you've heard a million times or from your mother telling you not to buy her anything. With that in mind, we're pulling some of our favorites out of the vault in the next couple of weeks, in the hopes of gaying up this holiday season in the best way we know how.  Here's a twisted take on a classic: "Santa Baby," performed by Rupaul in the 90s (we think), but with a strange, cracked out, drag alter-ego who keeps popping up at the bottom of the screen with commentary, Mystery Science Theater-style.

Kathy Griffin will be appearing as a guest judge on Season 2 of Rupaul's Drag Race, and we totes can't wait. (Well, to be honest, we're more excited for this, but the Drag Race will tide us over.) It sort of stands to reason that once a fledgling show has proven that it doesn't totally suck, the D-listers-turned-C-listers would clamor to get on it. And sure, Kathy knows who her base is.

After the jump, the brand new intro videos featuring the whole new group of contestants!
