Chart-topping Drag Race alum Adore Delano has become drag’s Rihanna, releasing every song on her debut album as a single with an accompanying high-concept music video.
The beloved foul-mouthed queen releases her fifth single from Till Death Do us Party this week with a video featuring Drag Race season 5 runner-up Alaska Thunderfuck. To us, “I Look Fuckin’ Cool” looks like a police crackdown on drag queen raves, but there’s apparently much more to the story.
A press release explains:
“I Look Fuckin’ Cool” is a rowdy hip-hop inspired dance track where the pair unapologetically flip-the-bird at those who disrespect them for their unconventionality. These girls like the way they look!
The video is set in a dystopian future, where an authoritarian, big-brother-like police force has enacted a coup ‘de fashion. All fashion and individualized self-expression has been banned in lieu of a military-esque uniform, but there are those that disobey.
A small gang of rebel-punks led by Adore and Alaska (the two most wanted by the regime) have begun to band together using a sophisticated network called Jack’d to connect with like-minded individuals.
Oh, right. Good thing they’re still able to “connect with like-minded individuals” on a sophisticated network like Jack’d.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Below, watch this self-described “topless hooker draped in faux fur from the 80s” slay the game. Again.

What a ridiculously misleading, click-bait title……

Whoever chose that title should be stoned. I was genuinely upset before reading the article.

Really you guys above me? I thought it was quite obvious it would be her new music video. It was ok. I am glad to see drag performers who actually have talent beyond padding use it in the mainstream. I liked all of it except the tag line. The rest was good. “I look F’n Cool” just didn’t have punch or power for me.

@VampDC: Which “gays” are appropriate in your opinion?

Sorry Lvng1Tor, gotta be the third person to say holy crap, what an unfortunately worded headline and boy do I hope it was accidental. “New Video” is not a big enough signal on a website that often posts cell phone videos of people being attacked, I thought something terrible had happened. Make it “Police from the Future” or “New Music Video” or something, damn.

Really? As soon as I saw the title, I thought “Another dumb video by Adore”… I didn’t once think “Oh, no. What happened??” You think Queerty would use that lax a headline to report a famous drag queen being attacked by the police? Wow… some real Mensa winners here.

@Xzamilio: LOL. Mensa isn’t a prize you win, O Great Intellectual Superior.
