'Different' Music Video by Pandora Boxx

Pandora Boxx. What can I say? See is the sweetest and most caring queen to come from RuPaul's Drag Race. She may not be a couture queen or a runway queen, and she may have been ripped to shreds by Santino every week on the runway, but she has always been one of my favorites because I adore her quirky fashion. But it's that genuine personality that makes her lovable.

Pandora was one of the first queens to burst into the music scene with her she-larious 'Cooter!' but 'Nice Car!' is my go to jam. Pandora blends catchy beats with witty, belly laugh-inducing lyrics unlike any other and she never takes herself seriously. Until now.

Her brand new single (which no summer is ever complete without) is 'Different'. Pandora revealed on Drag Race that she tried committing suicide, and ever since then she has been vocal about her demons and has tried to be a positive voice for anyone struggling with issues like bullying and self-image problems. Her track 'Different' is meant to celebrate everyone's oddities because that's what make us special.

But what's really fantastic about the song is that with such a positive message that could easily go sappy, the beat behind the lyrics is quite frankly sick. It's a hot dancefloor bop that could be played in any club right now, and it's frankly one of the better produced songs a Ru Girl has released. The same goes for the video.

Pandora's a visual queen, and she's never afraid to play with color or costumes (her Ursula look is one of my favorites and it makes quite a smashing appearance here). Pandora looks stunningly gorgeous; I don't think she's ever looked better. And the video lets everyone's freak flags fly as we see men in thongs wielding guns, bearded queens, men with blue ruffled wreaths 'round their heads and so much more. Let's celebrate our differences! Thank you, Pandora ♡
