'I Look Fuckin Cool' Music Video by Adore Delano featuring Alaska Thunderfuck

It's Team AdoreDelaska, bitch! Season 6 runner up Adore Delano is now on the fifth single from her album Til Death Do Us Party, and it's one of my favorites. Featuring the incomparable Alaska Thunderfuck on the song and having a special appearance by the iconic Nina Flowers, this is destined to be a hit.

'I Look Fuckin Cool' is basically an empowerment anthem about loving who you are. Even if you're a ratchet couture mess like Adore, you're special. The video for the song takes place in 2080 after a coup has overthrown RuPaul's third term in office. A "Big Brother" government takes over, stifling freedom of expression, and so Adore creates an underground resistance movement through the gay hook-up app, Jack'D.

Drag queens at their finest, right? Well the video, directed by Ben Simkins, is this awesome post-apocalyptic narrative with Adore and Alaska bringing out their craziest drag and standing up to the ever-present militia. Alaska gets beaten up and dies, and then the video ends with Adore, Nina, and other queens in a stand-off with the militia.

It's crazy fun that only drag queens can provide, but in actuality it has a great message and is conveniently timed with Facebook's "real name" policy. What is Adore gonna do next?
