That he is Damon’s boyfriend only makes me hate Damon even more. Sure! is the number-one panty dropper, but I think that distinction goes to Ricky auditioning in a crop top and a pair of sweats that were bulging in all the right places. Damon and Ricky go to audition to be dancers for the singer’s tour and end up booking the job and also going on tour with him. That whole scene was amazing, especially when Elektra shouts, “I can’t work in the service industry!” with her patented over-annunciated consonants.Įlektra had a few standout moments this episode. As Blanca says, this is the only job that plays to her strengths, looking good and being mean. It’s well known for its attractive and exotic-looking employees, so Elektra would fit right in as a hostess. For those who don’t know, Indochine is still around (they filmed on location) and it is still a downtown staple. I also have no idea how Blanca knew about a job opening at Indochine considering she’s an uptown girl who works in a nail salon (though she never seems to be giving manicures and instead is traipsing around Manhattan at all hours of the day). That and living in a room with walls the color of a “shit-stained diaper left out in the rain.” Blanca tells her at Confrontations, “You sure were an awful mother, but … ” The one thing Elektra has to suffer for living in the House of Evangelista is Blanca lording her moral superiority over her all the time. Elektra hates herself for asking for help, but Blanca tells her that she’ll give it anyway. (How exactly, since no one she knows works there anymore, I don’t know, but she did.) Blanca takes her to Confrontations, the diner where all of our favorite characters go for tête-à-tête chats with someone they have a problem with.Īs we always suspected when Elektra got kicked out, she ended up at the House of Evangelista, taken in by her former child. Eventually Blanca finds her at Peep World. I hate to make light of people experiencing homelessness, but only Elektra could find the world’s chicest outfit for sleeping on a park bench. Time to abandon it.Įlektra, as we saw last episode, ended up on the streets after losing her long-time john and her apartment. Ugh, this extended fairy tale metaphor is already getting me down.
Our evil stepmother Elektra has been thrown out of her castle by the king who only wanted her for her special power, and it took an unwanted Cinderella to rescue her. (Yes, it has been renewed for season two.) Things start out low, of course, but you can’t make it to the castle without sweeping up the cinders first.
Pose has always been a fairy tale so it’s no doubt that there would be a happy ending in the final episode of the first season.
