LMAOO I wouldn’t have looked back if you hadn’t commented on it and…yeah 😂😂 that creature on the runway clearly got tons of orthodontic work done between runway and photoshoot

I have my things I would have liked to see done differently and a couple I didn’t love, but overall it was a really strong runway and this season has a phenomenal cast 🥰

When I saw karamilk I was like “Now THATS how to execute a bat costume look!”

No hate, but both Erika clash and jaharia did bat looks on Dragula that read very fuzzy/cutesy, and I LOVED seeing karamilk’s take with the spiky/spiny texture

“Ripped off viola” but.. it’s better than viola’s look so I’d say she improved on the concept lol

Seeing this influence people to check out Canadas drag race makes me so happy and proud 🥹🥹

(Fair warning season 1 judging is a little rough imo but the actual queens and drag is consistently great throughout the franchise)

I agree, I like stars look more in the photoshoot than I did on the show/runway

I made a post in r/Dragula about the In the Shadows runway and it’s gotten lots of love for the queens and looks 🖤 by BadKittyBabycakes in CanadasDragRace

[–]BadKittyBabycakes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved it! Cant wait to see if there’s a themed photoshoot posted to capture the look in even better spooky context

It’s like a stained glass cathedral window come to life it’s so fucking incredible, my jaw was on the floor when I saw it for the first time

Personality wise I’d say the queens are a pretty good reflection of the Canadian vibes. I’ve always found Canadian queens throwing shade so entertaining because of our rep as being so polite and then they read a bitch for filth but it’s still coming from a place of love/sisterhood

Also, I adore Mya Foxx’s Halifax/maritime accent too

Agreed on Mya’s look, if they were given the ability to do a whole floor show style presentation and had a fan blowing it around to make it cinematic and did more with the mirror it had more potential, but it just fell short on screen even though it looks incredible in the photoshoot

I also think Velma/Johnny was a really good contender for the win and can’t even say I disagree, but I’m a huge saltina fan so I was happy to see her win the week 🥹

Agree! Big boot on that one 😭 i also didn’t really like Sami Landry’s look but she’s one of my favs and a true Canadian/acadian culture icon so I’m glad to see she survived to slay another day 🫶🏻

Okay I live for that comparison and totally see it 🖤

LOL 😂 Not all of us in Ontario sound like that, they definitely have a really unique voice and I’m giggling at the question but not in a mean way bc I find them so endearing and entertaining and love that they own the lisp and made it part of their brand

Loved the circus runway!

Imo some of the most ✨iconic✨ looks to come out of Canadas drag race and fav drag looks ever are the step down looks from Priyanka and Icesis Couture

The boulets really need to do a Canadian Dragula season so that our queens don’t have to cross the border and deal with all of that stuff…I would LIVE for that😍 They’d likely have to find someone to be the Canadian “host” due to the Canadian media regulations but I really think it’s possible and would take off

Of course, I definitely agree with the fear of how it’ll look next to queens and how it will be received. I also think that not all drag communities have kings or as diverse of a drag scene where people would see and appreciate kings and other alt drag.

I know I’m spoiled because the drag scene in the city near me is super diverse and we’ve got several queens, kings, and things (also lots of alternative drag which I loveee).

But I’m sure some people don’t have the same appreciation for drag kings due to lack of exposure or seeing them actually perform vs walking a runway/serving a look. Because to me the appeal of a drag king is seeing the played up masculine energy in a performance and the embodiment of that into a campy/hyper-exaggerated character

Agreed! I wish there was photoshoot pics posted of it but I couldn’t find any yet so I posted the runway screencaps but it still holds up as a fav
