Nymphia Wind on Taiwan Military Service | RuPaul’s Drag Race | Entertainment Weekly

[@SMAnthonyW]

I never thought this shade of comic book yellow would look good on anyone, but Nymphia looks so natural in it. Yellow is definitely her colour.

Lemon shaking

[@UelSchenecker-gs9fu]

Well she's a LEO. Most LEOS I know naturally gravitate to the color yellow esp. as a child (LIKE ME haha) Because YELLOW is the most fun color and Leo is the sign of entertainment and fun.

[@RaymondHng]

@@UelSchenecker-gs9fu _Banana_ and _Twinkie_ are pejorative terms, primarily used for Asian Americans who are perceived to have been assimilated and acculturated into mainstream American culture and who do not conform to typical East Asian cultures. Banana and Twinkie refer to a person being perceived as "yellow on the outside, white on the inside", and is mainly applied to people from East Asia, Thailand, Vietnam, and some other parts of Southeast Asia. Any of these terms may be used by Asians and Asian Americans, as well as non-Asian Americans, to disparage Asians or Asian Americans for a lack of perceived authenticity or conformity, and by non-Asian Americans to praise their assimilation into mainstream European, Anglo, European-American culture.

[@emmandelosreyes4272]

As an Asian, yeah, yellow suit her well.

[@cookiecat8235]

She brings that fierce combo of camp and couture that Manila Luzon served but in an entire new way, MAJOR winner energy

[@oueia]

💯

[@user-mz2ne4yh2t]

She even took her shade of yellow 🫢

[@ruruvarela]

Way better than Manila

[@cinnamoroll-o9g]

she's more runway couture than manila while manila can do glamour puss to a different level, plus manila's got the jokes and the comedy chops while nymphia can dance and stunt the house down boots mawma as seen in her lipsyncs. i'm filipino but don't really see much of filipino culture references in manila's drag so that's something that nymphia does very well that i wanna see from more from manila luzon in an rpdr setting. love them both 🥰

she’s giving the kookiness of sugar and spice with the regality of alaska. i’m so excited for her

[@avataraang125]

I hate that I know exactly what you mean 😂

[@giggles7179]

The first and possibly only time a drag queen who infamously allowed two men to urinate into her mouth onstage has been accused of regality. The strangest thing is that I don't necessarily disagree.

[@giggles7179]

(Yes, I can understand the abrasive** presence of both Sugar and Spice, but also the genuinely concerning brilliance of Tammie Brown that toes the thin line between insanity and....insanity. While I'm hesitant to say I back _any_ of the Season16 girls yet, there's little doubt that Nymphia may just have the most iconic entrance ever). ** - Only slightly more endearing than _irritating._

[@samibarigani8806]

[@Dee-v7h4j]

@@swtvic we all have choices in life. They were brave enough to go with what was required of them to do and I think that should be applauded. It's literally the same thing here in the states if there's a war going on. You'll be drafted or go to jail. If they aren't complaining about their service I don't see why anyone else should be. #TeamNymphia
