It was a spontaneous moment on a summer day in WeHo. News casters, and tv crews are the norm for most happenings around West Hollywood. This past Saturday’s adventure was the launch of RuPaul’s new board game. And there she was.. Jessica Wild.
You don’t know Jessica Wild? You cannot be a certified WeHo queen without such knowledge. Jessica is the Puerto Rican Drag Queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race. She never won. But you don’t have to win to be a winner. Jessica impressed as a contestant on season 2, where she placed 6th, but came back to compete in the All Stars 8, finishing in 3rd. A hefty feet for the shy guy.
Jessica got her name from one of her best friends in high school. Wild is used to describe her character’s personality and performance. She said, “I am a shy guy and I am wild on stage.”
Dayandra, from Hello Party explained the happenings on a typical Saturday in WeHo. “We are working with Drag Queen Extraordinaire she said, and we are there with Jessica Wild to promote the new RuPaul Drag Race Match Queen Game.
Christy Willingham, spoke on behalf East Side Games who developed the new board game. It is really a fushon of Match 3 and some of stuff we developed with our idle games. You go in, engage with our Match 3 boards, earn points, earn credits and gems and put together your drag look. And then you compete in Toot-Or-Boot challenges (based off the show) and you use the credits that you built up to in your Match3 play in order to get wigs, and dresses and or makeup – free prizes. It’s free to play.
The “Toot or Boot” challenge is a game on RuPaul’s Drag Race show where participants evalutate outfits for looks and decide whether they are “tooted” (liked and approved), or “booted” disliked and rejected.
Good grief.
