![]() In Kandy’s interview, we see how fun and charismatic she is, along with her saying that she hasn’t talked with Tamisha Iman since the show ended and that she doesn’t care about their fight at all (a noticeably more unbothered take on the situation than Tamisha herself). We see Gottmik becoming a comedy queen and, during her sitdown interview with Ru, Gottmik’s incredible Snatch Game character Paris Hilton sends the queen a personal message – in the immortal words of Gottmik, “gagatrondra!” From here, each queen gets her own spotlight with yet another clip show of their best moments from the show (just like last week’s episode). Jaida is among the fans and is acting as a correspondent to help bridge the gap between the performers and the stage. source: VH1Īs quickly as it came, the Ball was over and we cut to the winner of Drag Race season 12, Jaida Essense Hall at a socially distanced drive-in audience who are watching the Finale from a parking lot (or so the editing would have us believe). Just about everyone else’s looks were fabulous but Gottmik really, truly smoked them all with these two looks. Gottmik’s “Grand Finale Eleganza” look is reminiscent of an evil queen from a Disney movie combined with a femme Gene Simmons from KISS. With the three categories of “Black and White”, “Red All Over”, and “Grand Finale Eleganza”, the looks are heightened, breathtaking and EXPENSIVE, though none of the queens could hold a candle to Gottmik, who opened the ball in a complete drag version of Pinhead from the Hellraiser franchise – Pandora’s Box purse included! – and then brought the house down with the most “gorge” gown to ever clothe that tiny body. RuPaul is 60-years-old now and isn’t about to go out there and do some crazy dance moves, but she still gave some fantastic choreography that took me back to her work on the show that never should have been canceled, Netflix’s AJ and the Queen.įrom here, the Top Four queens partake in a Ball unlike any the show has ever seen as it’s extremely brief and each outfit (12 in total) are given just enough airtime for the audience to take them in, but not fully enjoy their beauty. The show immediately kicks off with an amazing opening number by RuPaul, singing her song “New Friends Silver, Old Friends Gold” and rocking the same look she wore for the holiday 2019/2020 cover of Vanity Fair. ![]() From a bombastic opening performance by RuPaul to the Top Four queens coming out in a Ball to a tribute to those who have died from AIDs, there was a lot going on in this finale and it ended the best way possible. It all was coming down to this moment and the rest was some fabulous filler. “I don’t want to ever lose that in my drag.Sierra Rein Returns to Don't Tell Mama With Her Award-Winning RUNNING IN PLACE “I think now with the platform I have and where we are, I think it’s important to… better the world,” she explained. Symone said she sees activism and Black Lives matter as an intrinsic part of her drag. Symone added that she hoped being crowned Drag Race winner showed people “it doesn’t matter where you come from… you can survive and do whatever you want in this life if you want it and you work hard for it.” So don’t feel alone and don’t feel like it’s over just because this happened.” She also had a heart-warming message for trans people in Arkansas and other states legislating against trans rights: “There is still hope, there’s still light, there’s people around the world and the country who are behind you. You don’t have the right to do that to people.” Symone responded to the bills: “How dare you try to legislate someone’s existence on this earth? It’s disgusting. Other states now have bills pending which would follow suit. The state also became the first in the US to ban gender-affirming healthcare for trans minors. In recent weeks, a bill has passed Arkansas’ House of Representatives banning public schools, state colleges and universities from requiring staff use students’ correct names and pronouns if they differ from their “biological sex”. ![]() “Specifically when there’s so much poverty, and so many people who go without education.” “I don’t think that trans people wanting to be themselves and wanting to have medical attention and all of these things is really the concern you need to be having in our state,” Symone told Advocate. Symone said that while “it’s a beautiful honour” to be Drag Race’s first contestant – and winner – from Arkansas, the state’s treatment of trans rights is “disgusting”. Symone is the toast of Arkansas after her RuPaul’s Drag Race win, but she is far from impressed by her home state’s politics.
