This feels like a parallel universe where Drag Race never happened, Sharon Needles was canceled for bad fashion instead of being racist, Farrah Moan decided to get jacked for the audition of the American Gladiators reboot, and Acid Betty eventually became the most powerful drag queen in America.

(from Decider) "In a recent interview with Joseph Shepherd, Acid Betty said that Project Runway wouldn’t allow Ru’s makeup and hair people to style her for the episode, so she went with the in-house team. If you’ve ever wondered what the difference between a makeup artist and a drag makeup artist is, well, here you go."

Thank you, I was wondering what tf happened because Ru has always looks flawless even back in these days. They did her real dirty.

[@vyvbasterd9703]

That wig did her dirty

[@theCynicalChicken]

It just seems odd that Ru never does her own makeup. I mean I know she can just hire professionals now. But it seems in this case of her Project Runway appearance, a professional drag queen would have (or should have) been able to do their makeup better than this botch job the show's in house team did on her.

The shows in the time were so serious and dry sometimes 😂😂 that’s what Drag race was build on. That’s why the earlier seasons were more cuntier and serious instead of the funny la la la overproduction we are used to now.

[@Whatupdoc777]

The design challenges sure were lifted from PR but I feel Tyra’s ANTM really pioneered the format and predated both competitions. There are so many parallels between RPDR and ANTM.

When Drag Race first aired back in 2009 a lot of people who watched it were also fans of ANTM and PR and the consensus was that it was a genius idea to mash up the two and make it drag.
