Bianca Del Rio's look when she crowned the next superstar too. Was a glittery masterpiece

[@faithoceans1170]

That's one, if not THE most iconic looks. Im waiting for a queen to do an Anna Ormeli/Lizzy Wizzy Cyborg cosplay. Cyberpunk 2077 and the aesthetics around it are very drag. And Lizzy Wizzy, being a cyborg, and a fictional character transcends gender, so shes essentially a drag queen. Also, someone needs to buy the rights to that name (a drag queen). Because I need me a masked Cyborg queen akin to the masked queens of Dragula. I don't think I've ever seen a full fledged Cyberpunk Drag Queen.

The earlier seasons felt more fun with Ru, she felt more like a personable queen to the contestants.. Now she just feels so disingenuous and kind of bored doing the show. She looks so over it nowadays when judging, if you notice she barely gives _any_ critiques of the girls outfits anymore.. If you're lucky you'll get a "I really liked it" or "it needed work" but other than that it's crickets from her.

[@lacedupangel]
