![]() ![]() ![]() Kim: Whoever gets Bianca will be super lucky! To be able to wear that amazing custom lacefront. Kim: I thought Darienne might be able to nail this challenge - she came across very comforting and nurturing when I met her.Ĭhad: Yeah, these sort of challenges can be totally unpredictable that way! And next week is the makeover challenge, which could be even crazier! I feel like those ones always end badly. We only saw a short section of her interview, but she certainly seemed at ease and relatable. I have to tell you, I was SO relieved that Dela did so well. Kim: She's an insult comic (in her own words) and perhaps not being able to insult/crack a joke at the expense of her talk show guests hindered her?Ĭhad: She doesn't seem to have any trouble expressing warmth and wisdom in the workroom, but maybe you're right. I was actually surprised at how many queens struggled with this challenge-who would have guessed that it's so hard to make it look so easy? ![]() It was interesting to see her fall short in the talk show challenge. Kim: Hopefully we'll be able to see more of her sweet, funny side!Ĭhad: So, when we get this far into the season, some of the challenges can get really tight-do you agree that Adore and Trinity should have lip synched? I have mixed feelings about that decision.Ĭhad: Well, Bianca certainly seems to have some unstoppable momentum. I completely understand her sarcastic sense of humor, but when she's making her snarky remarks, a lot of the times it's a joke without a punchline, which in turn translates to being bitchy.Ĭhad: Yeah, I definitely agree that her humor can cut too deep, though I'm sad that it's defined her time so much on the show. Honestly, I'm glad the other queens called out her negativity on Untucked-although she sort of laughed it off, I think she got the message. Kim: Darienne was a sweetheart when I met her in person when she came to Chicago. She seems fun, sweet, and someone I'd like to party with, but her runway presentations to me always feel like 20% away from being absolutely fab.Ĭhad: So, funny enough, when I asked my initial question about which queen haven't we gotten to know well, this is who I had in mind: Darienne! They can purchase pieces from those stores, but how they alter and style them is what creates a fantasy. Personally, I don't want to see a beautiful queen in an outfit that could've come from a department store. Kim: For the audience, television or in the club, I do believe you have to sell them a 'fantasy' and show them something 'special'. They know what their strength and weaknesses are, and if they have the resources to bring up their polish level, by all means, they should go for it!Ĭhad: Eloquently put! In Untucked, there was discussion about Joslyn and Adore's outfits, which other queens dismissed as "store bought." Do you think that sort of criticism is justified? There are a lot of famous queens who don't even do their own make up, but it certainly doesn't make me appreciate them less. I've certainly learned a lot of skill sets by collaborating with other people. Same with Courtney, I'll bet it was a creative collaboration between her and the artist that created those wings? If she has the resource and the vision, I don't see anything wrong with artists collaborating to help a vision come to life. My friends Danielle Mnop and Jo Control (of Plastic Factory) recently helped me complete a look for a GayGlow party. Kim: Best part about doing drag for me is, you get to create your own fantasy, but you can also choose who you want to include in the journey of creating a look. Maybe it's in that ambition that we'll get to know her better-she'll push herself harder, and we'll see the results! Perhaps she's too self-aware to show her vulnerability on screen?Ĭhad: That's an interesting thought-I was struck by her scene in the workroom with Ru! I thought it was pretty ballsy to seek advice on how to stand apart from the others in the competition. The only queen I still feel like I don't really know as a human being is Courtney. Kim: This season, I feel like they've done a great job of giving most queens evenly distributed screen time. Do you feel like you've gotten to know all of them pretty well, or are there still some that haven't gotten enough screen time? So don't expect us to get too shady!Ĭhad: By this point in the season, we've spent a good amount of time with the queens. Joining me this week for The Drag Race Illustrated is the fabulous Kim Chi, one of my favorite queens in the world and a good friend of mine! She's known for her elaborate and enormous headpieces, a keen editorial eye, and her exceedingly kind personality.
