No remember Roxxy was a "plus size queen." She fuckin had to call herself that every three seconds because there's no way in hell you'd tell from seeing her, but she definitely branded herself as that.

Well, we did get mermaids in a wheelchair.

But could you imagine a Night of 1000 Midlers category? Every queen on the runway as Winifred.

I really really really need to finish binging DRT and catch up with all of you. I only watched the first episode so far but I was super enchanted by everyone (S1) and really excited to get to the parts you guys have been talking about!!


Also, idk if anyone actually follows older season queens on YT or anything, but Violet's got some really fun videos where she and Katya review/talk about old couture runways, which combines my interests of 90s fashion and drag queens talking bullshit nicely:

Apologies then as I've never paid attention to her nor follow her. I had no idea she was known as this weirdo. And I am Canadian too, haha.

I was beyond happy to see them go. It's unfortunate that they are the personification of Tumblr and Reddit. Every time they opened their gaping maw and more self righteous vomit clogged my ear drums, I wanted them gone more and more. The baby rant finally broke me and I watched Fox news for like half an hour.

They're pleasant to look at, not to listen to.

Landon better make top 3 tho.

This was really interesting. Some thoughts:

Delta somewhat admits her wigs were a little crunchy on TV. She thought she did great work when she was there, but realized it didn't look as great a year later on TV, and she kinda learned from that. I appreciate self-awareness.

Delta had the (unspoken?) option to buy new wigs and potentially try new styles. She apparently did that once (?) and they reimbursed her. She didn't do it often because I guess she didn't want to rock the boat? Apparently Mathu brought in his own wigs because the crap they have on deck was well, crap. She says Ru approved all the wigs, which is to be expected since they ultimately sit on her head, but like... try out new things? I guess Mathu was more comfortable with experimenting because he had worked with Ru for so long.

Delta is... idealistic? She bought the whole "we're a big happy family" line loads of corporations like to use. Idk if it's a generational thing or maybe I'm just a jaded bitch, but I feel like everyone should really know better in this late-stage capitalistic bloated corpse of a society we live in. Companies only care about their bottom line. Everyone is expendable. That's it.

Delta thinks she was canned because of a somewhat poorly-timed joke she made to an angry Ru about him "never doing anything himself." Maybe that was it, but idk, I think she's discounting how loud the fans have been about her wig styles these past three (four? five? there are so many, who knows anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) seasons. WoW reads this poo poo, and they probably knew how the people felt about her hair, and that factored into their decision to give her the boot.

Everything else was pretty much stuff we already knew. She was invited to do AJ but she didn't want to do hair for anyone but Ru because she isn't certified. She also didn't want to join the union. They found someone else, who I guess is certified and union. They used him for RPDRUK and ultimately decided to use him going forward.

Alaska was hilariously quiet throughout this entire interview. She's a really interesting character. I bet she knows this interview will piss WoW off, and she doesn't want to seem too involved because she wants to maintain her relationship with WoW.

Basically, Delta quite literally bought into the 'Mama Ru' persona hook, line, and sinker. But that's just what it is, a persona, which is perfectly fine IMO. I kinda feel bad for her and I hope she finds success.

It'd be nice if they could get Raven. That's who I'd really love to hear from about all this, but like Alaska, she'll probably never be caught on a mic saying a bad word about WoW and Ru.
