I’d just hope and think the smarter choice is to maybe just refrain from monkey-adjacent or really just any comparisons of persons to an animal. Especially when still adapting and learning a cultural framework that can lend meaning (“Well, she’s no butterface, she’s a dog”), less-loaded meaning (“Well, you can’t teach…

A great mixture of fashion look/queens and performance, dancing, and comedy queens with everyone pretty strong, in fact stronger in their drag than most of the queens at the beginning of most seasons.
