She often performs in a comedy cabaret act with “Drag Race” Season 6 and “All Stars” Season 3 queen BenDeLaCreme. Jinkx Monsoon (“Drag Race” Season 5): First and foremost a comedy queen, Jinkx won two challenges in her season and was among the top queens of the week in almost every episode. She’s also worked as a makeup artist, including on “America’s Next Top Model” in the 2000s and with Adam Lambert, Pamela Anderson, Twiggy and Iman. Raja (“Drag Race” Season 3): The only Asian American winner of “Drag Race” in the U.S., Raja won three challenges in her season on the strength of her runway looks and singing. The eight “All Stars” contestants, in order of when they won their respective seasons, are: I was at the Chicago Premiere Party with my boyfriend during the screening of this episode, and during the mini-challenge, you couldn't hear much of the commentary.“ RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Untucked,” which captures the behind-the-scenes conversations between the queens while the judges deliberate, will also stream on Paramount+. I loved seeing so many stunning looks so soon, but I would have rather seen the girls in an unconventional photo shoot, where we see a bit more of their character, how they reacted to whatever ridiculous scenario the producers had cooked up this time. Speaking of the runway, what about the mini-challenge? Again, I thought it was weird. So however that ends up, I'm dying to draw whatever she brings down the runway. Which could be good or bad for reality television-she can come across as aloof or just over it, but she can also be really frank and funny. She's got an arty, subversive edge to her looks and to her character. What I love about Pearl is that she's able to paint for the gods and bring this stunning beauty to life, but then she really likes to fuck with it. Pearl did well, too, with her high-waisted panties and angular golden chains. (Also, that sheer, shiny fabric is hell to draw. I totally would have drawn it, except that I would have been way too embarrassed to bring it down to my local print shop. It showed just enough to be sexy, but it had style, and she worked it. Really, I think Kennedy had the best approach with her gorgeous, revealing outfit. It just wasn't funny, or scandalous, or glamorous, or even very sexy. The worst were the queens who just stripped down to a badly painted bodysuit. Most of the tearaway outfits were pretty forgettable, and most of the reveals weren't even worth it. I'm disappointed that her look was "safe," though, since I would have loved to hear the judges' comments.īy the way, the "nude illusion" challenge was pretty weird, right? Given the ridiculous censoring, it was hard to tell what the queens were actually showing, what was tucked or not, what was scandalous or simply. In fact, I think she really lucked out, because her runway look establishes what she's going for, that slightly deranged take on drag. (And a Wisconsin boy, like me!) I thought she handled the "nude illusion" challenge particularly well this week with her "Barbie doll" realness. ![]() ![]() Although her aesthetic screams "character queen," she's actually really grounded, resilient, and funny.
