"I just really wanna thank my family, and my friends, and most of all I need thank Kornbread's ankle."
- Willow Pill, ladies and gentlemen… A queen for the people…
That last lipsync tho'...
I will 100% legit go to my grave believing that had Lady Camden stepped her game up, she would have won Drag Race. Why do I believe this?
Because in the final lipsync, she was doing alot of what we'd already seen… This includes her fall that she achieved during her Freddy Mercury runway. Which was fine, I assure you. The problem was that we'd seen her do this fall FLAWLESSLY and this time her hair got caught in her wig. Also, am I the only one who noticed that the wig Lady Camden revealed to during her number wasn't that great and then she repeated it during the final lipsync? Both those wigs were just gah-awful. Nope Soup.
So who did win?
^I'm so happy 😭😭😭
Ya know, I changed my lock screen to Willow after that 1st episode and didn't dare change it again. She was my day one. She and Lady Camden looked like they were having so much fun dancing against one another. Honestly, I thought Willow was gonna lose the lipsync cuz at 1st, she wasn't really doing much. Her reveal, tho' a good reference piece, took too long to make it happen. Honestly, as I've been saying for awhile now, I'm bored with wig/clothing reveals. I mean, I'm not sick of them, but sometimes you just wanna see the performance without all the extra, ya know? Ever since Sasha Velour gave us RoseGate, queens have been obsessed with reveals. Drag Race is becoming a shell of its former glory because of it. Fans only want that WOW FACTOR now and turn their noses up at the performance aspect of drag.
With that being said, it felt as if Lady Camden lost steam after her wig reveal flub. Also, I wonder if Willow/Camden planned to wear such similar outfits for their final lipsync 🤔🤔🤔 Either way, Willow edged her out and then she rolled and Lady Camden did a split… And they looked like they were having so much fun. I know I already said that, but I needed to say it again.
Hold on, hold up…
Guess what?! This year's winner got $150,000 and the runner up got $50,000 (Which I've been saying they should do). Miss Congeniality got 10,000 and all the other queens got a little coinage too. Speaking of Miss Congeniality, how on earth did Kornbread snag that?! I know for a fact the queens vote that so um, was it for the ankle? Asking for a friend.
Pause the entry! Today's (4/27/2022) positive point was provided by Sheretta. So, here's the thing: This morning she goes: "You're gonna be on the radio. Immediately, I'm on high alert, 👀👀👀 mode. Context… Some radio station is doing appreciation shoutouts to employees and she submitted my name. She was like: "I was sitting in my car thinking, who would I want to shoutout when I thought about you… Then I came to warn you cuz my next thought was, she's gonna hate that." Then she explained that she understands that I hate the idea of a spotlight being on me and that's why she came to tell me so that when it happened, I wouldn't be caught off guard… And then I hugged her. Why? Well, today's positive point has nothing to do with my name being on the radio. (As a matter of fact, if/when it happens, I probably won't even know cuz I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore) It's a positive point because there's a common misconception that I like attention because I use myself as the model for my business. Do I argue this? Nope. Why put myself in a position where I hafta continuously explain that from a logical standpoint, it costs for a model and I don't hafta pay one cuz I have a perfectly good face that hardly ever gets used? Not only are we saving money, Max gets his art out there and you know him… So yeah, this keeps his constant complaining at bay. Honestly, I've just started saying I'm mad pretentious and keep it pushing… (Know I don't really entertain people's perception of me) Sheretta cutting 22 lanes of traffic (I'm exaggerating *laughs*) to warn me shows that even after all these years, she remembers that nothing I do is about getting attention. I don't live for applause which is a weird attribute for an artist, is it not? Basically, she showed care cuz she didn't have to. I mean, who cares if I don't like people zeroing in on me? It shouldn't matter one way or another to her, but it does *smiles in appreciation*
And now…
^Queen
Performance: Is it just me or did it seem like she missed a few words?
^Queen
Performance: Um, can we just take a moment for Daya's performance outfit?
^Goddess
Anyway, I still think the final two should have been Daya vs. Willow. I just do. Her performance actually moved me
^Queen (But it's a soft queen)
Performance: Same with Daya, I wanna talk about her performance look
^Queen (The boots were the best part, but I can't find those)
Ya know, Bosco's was the only performance that felt like it was missing something. I dunno what but it needed like, 3 more mins or some shit
^Queen
Performance: Her reveals were so epic. I just hated the wigs
^Knight (I'm sorry. I tried. I still just don't like this)
Performance: Know what I did like?
^Not only did Utica (Season 12) make this, Willow appealed to me personally with her number being titled "I Hate People"
Oh, before I forget... Her telling RuPaul that she named the heads on her shoulders Ross and Carson and the one between her legs Michelle... I am YODELLING 🤣🤣🤣
^GODDESS
^GODDESS (Always remember, Kornbread was crowned Miss Congeniality in this slip of gorgeousness 😍😍😍
*sighs* Imma miss this season. I really am.
Oh! Lady Camden's mommies (Both drag and birth) sitting side by side was a beautiful experience... As was Angie's mom and dad... It's too cute!
Alstars 7 is coming soon so we're on break then we'll be back for that...
Later 😌😌😌
