Hi, I’m commenting because I believe everyone deserves to be educated on the ingredients and side effects of this product. ColonBroom is a bulk-forming fiber laxative (psyllium husk, aka Metamucil) combined with a stimulant laxative (senna leaf, aka Senokot, Smooth Move etc). Taking a stimulant laxative like senna too often or for too long can cause laxative dependence, potentially making one unable to have a bowel movement without it. It was unfortunate to see the claim of “lose weight” on ColonBroom’s ad, because it simply isn’t true- unless in reference to the weight of the stool lost during a bowel movement. Please use caution with this product.

as much as i adore drag race, i completely agree with lady bunny when she criticizes the image that the show has painted for drag queens. The aggressively gendered aesthetic of the earlier seasons, with anything less than glamorous and feminine being shot down, has largely informed a wider audience as to what a queen should look like. When in reality drag has always been about self expression and challenging societal norms, however you choose to do so i'm glad that they're starting to become more open minded, but there's still a lot that is pretty unknown to a lot of fans. The younger queer community needs to learn their history, as well as remember that we are all in the fight for acceptance together

Honestly hate that all roads always lead to blaming Drag Race and RuPaul. They've done so many challenges highlighting queer history and referencing the queer canon, all for fans to criticize Ru for making dated references, saying she doesn't do enough, saying she is too old and doesn't understand modern things, all this speculation about who should replace her, etc. Ru did her job and made it possible for queens to make performing a career, something that was only possible for very few before the show. Maybe some others need to make the change as well instead of just blaming the black man for not doing it exactly right.

Compared to many of the younger queens who have popped up on DR in recent years... well, there is just no comparison. Bunny IS a LLLLegend. Full of wit/talent, intelligent, provocative, fearless. This is what Drag SHOULD be. What it always was. Peeps of the younger gens, drag is not just all about looking pretty in the mirror, or on TikTok, or wearing fab clothes with 1,000s of stones... though we love that too. Drag is about MAKING A STATEMENT. Saying something to move the conversation forward, and better secure our community so that it is safer and more inclusive.

This is actually a discussion that's been needed for some time and though this might be a bit lengthy, I urge everyone to read it. The Lady Bunny comes from a very different....for lack of a better term, era. Drag had virtually no rules back then and many of us were able to get away with having jet-black humor. Nothing was too taboo (Tabboo!) and many of us that were around before _Drag Race_ built our followings on shock value because it worked in the context of the four walls that kept drag queens chained to the gay bars. Lady Bunny and RuPaul came to New York together in the early 1980’s. RuPaul eventually realized just how cautious he’d have to be if he wanted to reach the level of stardom he aspired to and by 1993 when she finally broke through into the mainstream lexicon with “Supermodel” and went on to conquer every other facet of the entertainment industry, Bunny remained the most influential (and powerful) drag artist in New York City with Wigstock. RuPaul became the Disney equivalent of a drag queen and could do virtually nothing more controversial than putting a dress on for fear that any ripples she caused might eject her from a boy’s club that never really wanted her, but went on to fall in love with her nonetheless. Is Bunny’s entire act ready for mainstream approval? Absolutely not. But the big difference is that Bunny never _aspired_ to it. Regardless, people still flocked to her for her outrageousness while suburban grandmothers ate up every episode of _The RuPaul Show_ on Vh1. These two queens were borne out of the same scene in Atlanta and rose to a certain level of infamy together in New York, but their lives split at a moment that will forever define them as very different creatures. It’s interesting to ponder whether somebody like Lady Bunny should be held to the same standards as other comedians that have been “canceled” for joking about a sensitive topic. Here again is another key difference between Bunny and someone like Dave Chappelle, who suffered immediate backlash for his comments on the trans community: While Bunny might be infamous for a montage of jokes that throw barbs at specific celebrities, Lady Bunny’s schtick has always been to poke more fun at _herself_ in what amounts to little more than incredibly tasteless bathroom humor. With the exception of gay references that would likely go right over their heads, Bunny’s act would get as many laughs from a room of 5 year-old boys as it does the LGBTQ community that she’s devoted her life to entertaining. (And no, I am not suggesting Bunny try a spin on the Drag Queen Storytime circuit). Bunny’s most disarming when she’s serious. And she knows perfectly well when to joke and when not to. Those are the true test of a queen’s wit, when one can suddenly shift from scat jokes to a profound discussion of politics and few do it as well as Bunny, That’s why she’s beloved by millions more than should even know her name, and that’s why the new generation of superstar queens like Trixie Mattel, Katya, Willam, etc. owe just as much to Bunny than RuPaul herself. Is she _everybody’s_ cup of tea? Absolutely not. …but drag queens were never meant to be.

Bunny is a blessing. She definitely isn't for everybody. Those of us who have been through not harder times but different times definitely appreciate this person. Children pay attention she can teach you some stuff.

I love Lady Bunny and her politically incorrect and outrageous humor. I hope there will be more drag artists in the future who will push the boundaries of what can be joked about without being canceled.

Bunny can frequently be seen leaving her West Village town home in full drag running down the stairs of her stoop, and elegantly DIVING into her car head first as not to mess her wig! Lol.. I you know where to look.. a very well kept secret.. if you know you know... and you dare not be the one to tell the secret! Seriously she have your head!

As a mostly hetero-identifying woman I thank the gods for Lady Bunny and all the queens that dared to poke fun and push envelopes full of things to make people squirm and clutch their pearls in shock. People need to stop taking themselves so seriously, it only leads to anger, rage and high blood pressure.

In 1996, a great documentary called “Wigstock” is wonderful footage of all the performers from the 1995 wigstock … with early footage of Jackie Best. Truly a wonderful film… great history.

Lady Bunny had a good point with the lack of action from the fan base. They’ll start pointless fights online over things such as Jimbo’s XL plates but aren’t organizing together to fight these GOP dominated governments.

I once went down a youtube hole and ended up watching hours of nelsons tapes. Hours of young ru paul on the mean streets of new york in the 80s begging for a quarter for a slice of pizza and going home to get into drag for the night. How far he has come is so incredible! Im unsure if he likes the tapes up as theres evidence of his addiction, could be hard to watch. But wow do they give me a new respect for Nelson, bunny and Ru.

I'm so happy to see you bring up Nelson Sullivan. 🖤🖤🖤 He was such an icon and a passionate documentarian of their era. I would LOVE to see someone do a video of his life. I watched almost all of his videos on the youtube channel that features him. Its like time travel and brings you in super close to the iconic characters in his life and the circles he traveled within at that time. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Bunny is my favourite queen of all time. People who only know drag from Drag Race might not understand her and it's really sad. She does say things and make jokes some people might find too much...but that's exactly what it is...jokes. She's such an amazing person.

It feels like the standard to be perfect all the time at all costs or else is imposed on everyone especially on social media. Make 1 error and you're the worst human alive. We're trading one set of unreasonable ideals and expectations for different ones.
