Early Ru is unclockably stunning.

If you’ve ever watched one of Iris’ ‘Inside the Atelier’ videos - the remarkable fusion of 21st century techniques and materials and old couturier craftsmanship and detail are just something the queens can’t expect to accomplish, for as many efforts as we’ve seen, to accomplish the particular remarkable structure and…

It was certainly a test, but I don’t expect that it would’ve demanded specific knowledge of that show. (and yes, I also had to Google wth she be talkin bout)

Y’all out here doin the Lordt’s Work.

Does Rupaul expect ANYBODY to remember that he worked with Drew Barrymore one summer?

the mini challenge was ugly as fuck but I agree on Angeria being the best at it. It was just a beautiful dress.

I think the trick is the definition of “overall this season has been really good”.

Random ‘pinions that no one asked for:

I’m recalling that critique coming up on this week’s Pit Stop - and absolutely fits Deja’s MO of persistent fit and tailoring issues. There’s clearly skill and construction technique, but a remarkable absence of a designerly eye for editing.

Also Nicole Byer gives some of the best advice, she can be cutting in a really nice way.

I don’t mind in-so-much as Bosco was legitimately the only laughs I got from their panel - as dad-joke setup-rimshot structured as they were. I’ll agree with you insofar as I’m not sure this was her week for a win, in comparison to the relative effortless ease with which Willow worked humor into her decidedly heavy…

I agree that the runway was a letdown. And I just couldn’t get into Deja’s garment, which should have been 8-bit ‘80s blocky, pixellated, fun, but read as cheap and tacky. And overpowering, as has come to be usual for the season, but in a boxy way.

No asked for totally Random ‘pinions:

don’t think anyone in production wants a foreigner (born) taking a role for native north Americans (this is not drag race Holland S1).

Had to hit up the RPDR wiki to check. Claims three Blondie lipsyncs (including S14E7, natch).

I thought Lady Camden was based in Sacramento? I mean it’s close enough that it’s not surprising that she has attended the fair but those aren’t the same city by a long shot.

There’s also the calculus of Kornbread’s unscheduled departure leaving more room for a non-elimination.

Every time a question isn’t posed to the group, Jasmine answers it!

Stupidly intermittent Random ‘pinions:

See, I think the rest of y’all are going about this all wrong and presuming a melee-first tussle.
