It can be hard to keep up with the ever-expanding universe of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but here to anchor the fact that Canada is set to premiere its very own iteration of the franchise on July 2 are the men who’ll be acting as official eye candy all season.

At the end of week 9, Ming looked in the mirror in his pink workout panties. Playing in the background was the Sydney 2000 Olympic Opening Ceremony. Juan Antonio Samuranch had just addressed the audience at Homebush and John Farnham and Olivia Newton John had just sung ‘Dare to Dream’ and wished all the athletes good luck. Ming couldn’t help but feel nostalgic for the land Down Under. Australia had also been doing very well at handling COVID even though they were initially on the same trajectory as Canada, if not worse. Le sigh. That was french for *sigh*. That could’ve been me. That should’ve been me! When will he be able to go back to the gym? When will he have to wear pants to workout again? When will his feet stop shedding like a young snake going through puberty? Who is that girl I see? Only time will tell

Dance Cardio is the new fetch and Ming was determined to make it happen! Ming counted the days, 7-8-9. 9 days of no gym. He had tried his best to maintain some exercise regime. On day 1 he went for a run. He used to run in his 20s. Now, a 20 minute run left him with sacroiliac joint dysfunction and secondary glute/piriformis/obturator tightness, both internal AND external. That still hadn’t resolved and it was day 9. So, no more running. The same advice he had given patients time and time again of ‘you can’t just do stuff without preparing your body for it ‘rang true for him now. He guessed that in his mid 30s he couldn’t just go for a run ‘coz he felt like it’. Instead Ming discovered a new way to get an hours worth of cardio in a day. He found Mylee. A Korean girl who would teach him ‘simple’ choreography for top 40 songs. Now, Ming wasn’t a dancer and there were a few things he soon realised. Learning ‘simple’ choreography is not simple. Dancing and making it look ‘cool’ is also not easy. Your face is not sexy when you learn sexy moves. Needless to say, he sweated, he body rolled, he squatted and bounced and head whipped. What a workout. Tomorrow, more dancing! . . . #selfisolation #homeworkout #homeworkoutselfie #postworkoutselfie #gayasian #gayboyselfie #gaysian #flexing #flexingforthegram
