Your entrance look is my favorite out of your three. And I think that that's rather unfortunate. I'm absolutely in love with your reference for your drag character, though, and not just because I'm a Madonna stan. But I don't think it translates nicely into the fashion world. The latter two looks are just... extremely pedestrian. The shower curtain spring look is fresh out of Dame Rose's closet (which means it's 3 years old out of MoonChild's closet), and like I'll say about all three of these looks, the wig choice is horrendous. But cute earrings on that one. And the fall look isn't unique; it's not exciting, or terribly fashionable, at all, either. A sweatershirt and some leather moto pants? Play with proportions a little more in the future I think; concepts aren't fully-realized, nor executed, but luckily for you, other people did worse.

Harajuku Fuqyu:
I must say, I audibly gasped when I read your entry. And then I proceeded to have a seizure; epilepsy is no joke. You have an inane sense of fashion, and as a shallow creature who cares nothing about anything other than clothes, I never face such an excitement as when I see who the fashion queen of a RPDR season is going to be (and yes, that was a joke). My favorite thing about your entrance look is that it's NOT pretty; it's not glamorous, or edited, or beautiful, it's straight up hideous, but such a loud and obnoxiously eye-catchingly statement-filled. Your spring is my personal favorite, which I think is strange because it's mostly a lack of clothing, but the embracing of nature (fauna more than flora, obvi) and the massive necklace on such negative nothing of nakedness is breathtaking.

Gigi Prescott:
I'm not particularly amazed by any of these looks in particular; there's certain elements here and there that I like, but as a whole, nothing is impressive. Your Spring look is the most well-defined and my favorite; the sash/strap/whatever you wanna call that top is positively gorgeous, and the ring with the butterfly pulls it together. I live that you did pants instead of a horrendous skirt, as well. But the other two looks are barely even comment-worthy; entrance look is a pass since I giggled at apple dunking (and I love a matte black nail), and the fall look feels like the dress was taken out of an animated version of Hocus Pocus, which I'm sure Carrie and MoonChild will stan for, but not in a fashion challenge, miss.

Cybella Sabotage:
Look at you taking pointers from Eve Saint Laurence last season and shoving designer elements in every single look. I actually own that white cape (but in black) that you have in your entrance look; Harrods of London, right? Gorg. Like with Gigi, your entrance look gets a pass since I realize y'all were ready for the beatdown when the mini challenge was a photoshoot on a waterslide. But it still is slightly chic... enough. Your spring look is kinda hideous, though. Shlumpy dress, terrible shoes, a color scheme that feels more like fall than spring (I don't know how the lilac accents aren't making it lighter, tbh), I'm not impressed. And your fall look, while slightly gaudy, is still passable; I like that you went with a red wig that matches your lip ccolor, and points for earmuffs since I have a soft spot for Chanel #3 and DripDrip.

Allure:
Tbh I wrote my criqitues later than when I initially scored (though my opinions rarely change; I'm a stubborn bull), and at this time the link to your entrance look is broken but I scored it decently so next. Of your other two, I'm rather fond of your spring look moreso than your fall one, which is strange since the latter is more traditionally on my alley style-wise; the subtle lace designs are breathtaking. And I kind of wish you'd kept the mask on your fall look, since it didn't need to be removed. But I will say, I think this entry is a tad lazy. There's nothing horribly wrong with it; you did your job, you obeyed the rules, the looks are nice, but you definitely could've added more to them and done more than just a quick lil google search or two.

Tangerine:
God damn, what an entrance. I would've actually started stanning there on the spot if I'd seen that on TV. That said, I'm surprised at how much I like your entrance, because it's literally a swimsuit, and I hate Courtney Act. But the hair, the hip cage, and the sash, all make me giddy; I live. But like I said. Just a swimsuit. Oh, well. Your spring look, while pretty, feels a little Vivienne Pinay to me. I love a caped jacket (I haven't actually worn a jacket with the sleeves on since 1804), and the pastel blue works great for the theme, but maybe could've used a necklace or some other larger-than-life accessory. Your fall look, however, I am positively in love with. The poncho, the mesh, the beret, all breathtaking. Sure, it's still kinda pedestrian, but it's minimalist done right, and few people understand how to do that.

Nina Williams:
You take very much after Anna Williams from last season. And that is all I have to say.

Pixel Dark:
Your character, as Pixel Dark, had me raising eyebrows from the second your application came in, and still does every day. I laugh, I chuckle, all that, but I pray you get a better sense of style by the next fashion challenge because I will not play this Party City game with you this season. None of these looks are interesting, or remotely fashionable; and frankly, it's hard to differentiate them from each other since they all probably came from Boxxy's closet. There are so many ways you could make Satanism chic; going for low-hanging fruit of a Hot Topic and Spencer's haul is not gonna cut it.

Diamond de la Roux:
Hm... Obviously, all of these looks are positively stunning, and I can't critique them in themselves. But like I said to Allure, feels a tad lazy. However, I was too mesmerized by the looks in front of me to bitch about that too much. Your entrance look, though, is overdone; you don't need every single element to be an extreme statement of its own, because the outfit loses itself in that; a plain heel, no choker and no tiara would've been much better, because a dress that huge and intricate has an impact of its own. I imagine you'd do a reveal with your fall look, which obvi would be a gag, but I kind of like the massive Balenciaga silhouette of the giant fur coat/wrap/whatever it is on its own; it really is beautiful, and I'd gag seeing that on its own.

The Corpulent ****ess:
Girl, not one of these wigs look nice. Your entrance look is that Rihanna quincenera dress with the colorscheme of a Fisher Price toy; props for drawing, I guess, but maybe that's not a medium you should stick to in the future. The rest of these outfits are... choices, but in an episode where many people did fantastically and quite a few did bad enough to make the impact Kim and Kanye had on the fashion industry look good, this is surprisingly just kinda safe all-around.

Kunty Clarkson:
This entry was the most surprising to me; I didn't expect you to turn it out nearly as much as you did. Your entrance look had me gagging; the chains as bones, the skeleton bracelet, and the makeup are all stunning. Those NAILS. Maybe lose the choker, but it's not too detrimental. Your spring look is my absolute favorite; aurora borealis meets Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. And a Zanotti shoe. Bless. The jumpsuit thing for fall is also pretty on its own, but definitely could've been accessorized better; that fringe necklace is not the tea (I think everyone here prefers a pearl necklace; maybe not for fall, though), and I would've loved a belt of some sort so we're not just staring into a black void below the neck.

Nellie Boddum:
Good god.

MoonChild:
n sis listen, as great as these looks are, I felt fairly unmoved by all three of them because I've literally seen all three before. You showed me your Cruellaganza and your pseudo-Manila sushi thing, and I won't even touch on that carbön copy of another outfit, so I wasn't surprised and certainly didn't gag. But that said, all three are accessorized and executed well, though. Perfect that you didn't add any more accessories for your entrance that would distract from the grandness of the dress itself (and that wig is terribad). Your springshi is my favorite, and I'm ready for you to be roasted on Twitter for the cultural appropriation. I got Blade Runner from your fall, but the outfit itself, aside from the forced-perspective with the bunny ears and bowtie, isn't particularly Playboy Bunny-y; though, if you're ever gonna do Blade Runner again, do Daryl Hannah to put Adore to shame or do NOTHING.

Eve Saint Laurence:
d not it being "common knowledge" that you're a hot mess when you don't make a presence enough of yourself for there to be any common knowledge about you at all. I don't think any of these looks are particularly interesting or unique, and like many girls before you, all of these wigs are disgusting and offensive. Your entrance outfit itself is rather unique, and there's no better time to use that outfit cuz you'll be laughed at anywhere else. Your fall look, I do kinda like, though, even if it feels kinda uninspired. I guess I'm just a sucker for a cape. Oh, well.

Angel Oleander:
Hot damn, I'm glad we let you in (and yes, this means you're in, girl). Your fall look is the best, I think, but kmnxlfg;l why the ice skates? Is there an early snow? To be honest, I think you could switch your fall and entrance looks and they'd still make sense (and I might like them more), but there's nothing wrong with any of these looks other than the fact that your ****ing ice skate is silver and those earrings are gold and I'm telling you girls to NOT MIX YOUR ****ING METALS.

My favorite of the 3 looks would have to be the entrance one. It's more elegant and sophisticated and I'd like to think your character is like that, considering who you're named after. I have a problem with how synthetic the wig looks, but I understand that it might be hard to find the right one that fits your vision in good quality. I forgot about the hat on my FPR because I was jumping around doing my comments, so I totally forgot about what you had said in the commentary line. Your spring look is very beachy, but I don't like it, not for the runway anyway. The big poncho sort of lacks effort, and seems lazy to me. I like the shoes and accessories. The wig is very emo girl, and I'm not sure it goes too well with the look. Now for the fall look, wearing any type of pants is hard girl. This just looks very pedestrian. I wouldn't expect this to come down the runway, it's sort of a look to do when the queens are in a mini challenge during the day time. The hat is cute though. You need to push yourself into doing more glamour direction and less girl running down the street. I know you can do it, because I see a glimpse of that in your entrance look. I also recommend finding a certain characteristic you like, and run with it. If you want to be campy, go all out. If you're going to be an sophisticated old bad bitch then be that. Good luck!

Harajuku Fuqyu
I'm not going to touch much on the entrance, but I think it's very daring and it totally works. Sort of Milk Queen done right. Moving on to Spring, again I love how out there this is. I might not be too sure on how you managed to sell the nude illusion with the boobs and all tho, but this is ****ing good. Putting all the focus on the shoes, the horns and that beautiful necklace. I'm totally loving this. Good job ho. Now this fall look...Slayed. I dont mind that another queen did something similar, you can't really control that. The moths all over the dress, how they surround the face. I'm living. Keep doing what you're doing, cause you have a very unique eye for this ****. You started off really strong, so I expect great things from here on out.

Gigi Prescott
I said what I needed to say about the entrance already. Really good. The spring look is so feminine and beautiful. All of it works, and everything goes together so nicely. Love the butterflies (seems to be a trend) and that top is gorgeous. You did a very good job making that yourself. The detail with the nails and the flared out pants. Ugh I really love this. For your fall look, I really like the contrast between the orange and the blue. The dress is nice, and has an interesting cut to it. All the accessories work with it and I can't really criticize much of it. But even if I like it, I think it lacks excitement. It's my least favorite of the three looks. I think you could have gone a bit further with it. Maybe with the hair, cause it's a bit bland. All in all, I see a lot of improvement from your S2 runways and I'm very eager to see your development throughout the season. Good job Gigi.

Cybella Sabotage
The spring look is very cute, the dress is nice and I really get the emphasis on the shoes. You have a really good eye for putting things together, accessories and working with certain colors. I've noticed that before. But just like your entrance, I just wish you would do more. I know you like being the pretty one, but be the exciting pretty one. Don't settle with just looking fish. I like your fall ensamble much better, because it's not as obvious of a choice. I mean yes, it's very wintery, but it ain't as safe as the spring for example. Love the hair with the creams and gold, it pops out a lot and the ear warmers probably would look very cute on. You have good taste bitch just drive it to a direction that would make us gag.

Allure
The entrance is really good. Particularly love the boots and the headpiece. I wish the bow wasn't there, but that's just me. I don't really like bows. I'm not going to take points away for just giving us a straight from the runway look, but you should always strive for more than what is indicated. For your spring look though...that's another story. I love it, but there is no effort again. I've had the same problem, where I look at the runway styling and think it's perfect the way it is, and wouldn't want to change it, but you have to. We're judging your abilities, not someone else's. You know? Your fall look is the way to go. That makeup is stunning and I love how you tried to keep it clean to make that stand out the most. Love the slicked back hair, the boots and gold touches. Part of me thinks you should have kept the mask though. It's drag after all. Good job with this last look, that's what I want to see. You clearly have the references and know your stuff. Be more creative in your next runways.

Tangerine
Your spring look is cute to say the least. But my favorite part of it is the hair (it's really good), and I think that's a problem. There's nothing wrong with it, and I like how you styled the jacket on your shoulders but it's not something I want to see a drag queen wearing, at least not on the runway. Maybe for a casual interview? While you're doing a challenge routine? Your fall look is a step up. The whole color palette and the way it goes with your drag name and hair is really cute. Part of me wishes you had used bigger hair though, it would have been amazing with the beret. Or maybe a more slick and short bob (it would have made it more high fashion) I like the sheer bottom thing, but I'm also not too sure how visible it would be and I wish you had done a reveal almost. But I'm grasping for straws here, I like it and want to see more.

Nina Williams
I like the bottom portion of your spring outfit, but kind of wish you would have went for another blouse. You should have used the one you posted in the thread, the shape was interesting and it would have totally elevated what you wanted to accomplish. The hair is a bit too simple, but I like it. Don't kill for this, but it sort of reminds me of Max nn. Just not as good (dont kill me again). If you're taking inspiration from actual runways, my recommendation is to actually use the piece and try to move around it. Also this is giving me more fall to be honest. Moving on to spring, the touch with the hair is good. The dress itself is simple but I like the details on it and how it goes together with the chinese sticks. However, those boots girl. You're a drag queen! Wear heels. This look would have been so much better if you had worn heel thigh high boots. It sort of frustrates me n. The gloves are a nice touch but I also think you could have looked for better ones.

Pixel Dark
Oh Pixel Dark, you have so much potential. Part of the fantasy is creating a character and you're the only one that's done that. Anyway, for your spring look my biggest issue is the dress. I like the rest of the elements, it's just the dress is way too hot topic goth. I don't particularly like that finish on the bottom of dresses either, it's just too halloween-y. All the accessories including shoes and hair I really like, but invest more time in looking for better outfits. The fall one is far better because of the cape. It doesn't scream costume store. The contacts and blood are a nice touch and really show the queen you are, and the tied around the leg shoes really work. The hair is a no though, and you could have left out the purse cause it doesn't go with what you're selling. Take more of this fall direction, but step it up a bit. If I were you I wouldn't be afraid of taking inspiration from Sharon Needles. She does it well and that's the truth. Look at what she does and try to do your own thing with it.

Diamond de la Roux
I love the dress you used for spring, it's why I chose it as my finale look. I had an eye on it for a long time and thought it would be nice to end my run with it. It's just gorgeous. The head piece is stunning as well, you did great with collecting the pieces. You do need to learn to edit out though, those shoes are a bit much with the whole thing. I also don't like them because they're sort of iconic, and I just don't think it's realistic for a queen to be wearing iconic McQueen shoes. The make up is great and the rings are a nice touch. Now your fall outfit...My absolute favorite look on the runway. Imagining you with that make up and short butterfly dress, with the fur coat walking down the runway makes me gag. Because of the length of the dress, these artistic shoes work much better than in your other two. You had my favorite entry of the night. Slay me Diamond. I thought you were a pageant queen tho? No way jose. Like I said, just tone it down just a little and keep doing what you're doing.

The Corpulent ****ess
The spring look is kinda cute. The hair is really nice and I like how it flares out. The dress is fun, I'm not too sure on the plaid though. I'm not seeing it. The shoes are cute and I like the flower. However, my problem with this is that it sort of fades into the background in comparison to the rest of the looks on the runway. The fall one is my favorite of the 3, but that stripe you added I dont like. I like the simplicity of the body suit combined with the fur. It sort of gives me kardashian/rihanna. The hair is fun and I'm not too mad at the shoes. Work a bit and try new things though.

Kunty Clarkson
I must say I didnt expect you to slay this much. You have good taste and style, at least an eye for it. The spring look is just pleasing to the eyes. Like a fairy almost, the pink fabrics merging with the blue are stunning. Kunty Joanne. The accessories and hair are on point. You slayed. The fall look is such a contrast, and I love that.The jumpsuit, the hair, the glasses and the purse all slay. But you needed to lose the rest. Not feeling the wrings or the necklace. Still amazing though. Werk.

Nellie Boddum
To be quite honest, while I like the entrance look and I think it accomplishes it's purpose, I'm not sold on the other two. Part of this I think, is because we dont see what you see. Not in a shady way, it's just that drawing looks can be quite hard (ask carbon). Sometimes what you want to convey isn't expressed all too well. I'm not discouraging you from drawing, because it shows effort, but you're going to have to put a bit more detail in it and explain them better. Your spring look I like because of the asian inspiration. It's fun how it flares out and the volume of the wig is nice. I do not like that you used jean shorts for this though. A choice. Even though your fall look has revealing details, I think it also lacks a punch. I dont find anything interesting but the shoes. Those look creative.

MoonChild
Your entrance was a slay and I think it's the strongest of the three looks. The others aren't bad by any means, but I feel like you could have done more. Your spring look is campy and I love that. Serve us Manila. I'm a sucker for short short hair, and you made the right choice here. I totally see it going with the sushi hat piece. The skirt and bra are great and the sushi accessories are so cute. This is my favorite of the 2 because of how fun and well done it is. Your fall look is higher than average in comparison to the rest of the looks on the runway, but I'm not slayed like I would wanna be. The play with geometry is amazing, especially with the metals. It's a great look, just not particularly a stand out. You obviously have skill and I expect great things from you.

Eve Saint Laurence
The visual effect of the dress is really nice, I love that. The hair is really nice but I'm not sure if I expect it to work with the dress. For some reason I wish you had put on something else rainbow. Maybe play with your make up a bit. Theres a lack of elements to critique you know. Its good, just not amazing. Your fall look is giving me rich executive bitch that knows her fashion. I really like it. The coat and shoes go together nicely and gold always sells the luxurious vibe. That hair is not working for me at all though, it's just meh and messy and I don't think it goes well with the rest. Good job Eve, I know you wanted to quit but you shouldn't. Aim for bigger things and you can go far.

Angel Oleander
You had one of the strongest entries, but I'm not too sure if it's because you had the advantage and saw what everyone else brought. Regardless, your entrance look was one of my favorite. I live for the wig for some reason, and well the dress is amazing. You could have had a shot at top TOOT (even though carbon likes basic things so maybe not ) Your spring look is a bit toned down. I like that for some reason. Those boots are one of my favorite things idk why. I wore some from the same collection on my own run. The ring is cute and the dress is nice. Not a look to gag over, but sufficient enough I guess. You really came through with that fall dress though. I'm loving everything. I don't understand how you will walk with those ice skating shoes though, but werk. You should have badazzled them a bit too. The makeup and veil also put me over the edge. Kill these bitches and show them why you deserve to be here.

Evita Kirchner
So, let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. Overall, this is a very "meh" entry for me, since I don't think any of your looks are fully developed enough to really warrant any remembrance. The audacity to wear that giant poncho and NOT have a reveal under it... wyd? Even if what you revealed was absolutely hideous, just the execution would have been more memorable. The colors of your Spring look are very nice, if a little cheap looking. Your fall look... considering you call yourself a "young competitor", this seems very Dame Rose the sequel. Nothing about this screams fashionable to me. I'm also kinda confused why you've included pants and a dress in your fall look, but they're both kinda ugly anyway, so! Conclusively, your looks are far too plain for the Argentinean aesthetic you're going for, which I hope you develop more over the season. Fashion doesn't always have to be fashionable!

Harajuku Fuqyu
Whew, this developed aesthetic right off the bat. This is a great entry that is immediately memorable, and feels relatively cohesive. My favorite look is probably your spring one since the symbolism and presentation is so overt and amazing. I'm kinda surprised how glamourous and chic your fall look is considering the back story to your character and your entrance look. C'mon versatility! Well done.

Gigi Prescott
Congrats on a great entry. I see you didn't leave all your talent like I did in S2! I appreciate the delicate balance between simplicity and elegance in all your looks, especially your entrance look. I'm kinda unsure about the pant choice in your spring look, but I think it makes the imagined silhouette much more interesting. The colour scheme is pretty muted, which I quite like. I also love the long ass nail. Stab a bitch!

Your fall look is a bit of a dud for me. The colours compliment each other perfectly, but the shape and style of the dress is not the T. The similarities between the hair is also kinda disappointing, but maybe you only have 5 minutes to get changed in this challenge? Who knows. Good job overall!

Cybella Sabotage
This spring look is AWFUL. " I wanted my look to be conventional with a twist." Was the twist that it's ugly? I agree that the look is pretty conventional, which I'm pretty disappointed about. It's not even a nice dress. I just... Let's move on.

Your fall looks kinda suffers from the same problem I have with your workroom entrance look, in that it possess elements that I like individually, but altogether it lacks that certain something that really takes it over the edge and wows me. Maybe if there was an unexpected element, like the ear muffs being comically large, or coming down in ice skates or something. Something to make the look more than just "fish". I'm trying to hold back from saying "I don't like this that much because it's just boring and fishy" since it's only the first week, but...

Allure
Consider this my official announcement when it comes to runway entries. Single, unedited, fresh off google looks won't cut it for me. I will 99% deduct points for this. In your case, Allure, I have no idea what your own personal circumstances are in terms of how much time you can dedicate to the competition, but in future you should definitely take the runway entries as the prime time to express your creativity. Your spring look feels very lazy in this regard. Anyway, let's get to the #looks.

Your lucky I'm not gonna skulldrag you because your spring look is very cute. I love the shaping of the model here and the cut of neck. I kinda want it. Your fall look... is also kinda cute. Almost. I think you suffered here from overediting your look, since I think less is more is definitely a mentality you could've used a bit more when it came to really creating a slick and chic look. I think you've overused gold in this look to really shove it in our throats what look you're going for, when you could've easily gotten rid of one accessory for a cleaner look.

I'll also say this. A quick little explanation in your looks will go a long way, since it helps some judges, at the very least me, understand what you're going for. And it showcases your personality a bit more.

Tangerine
C'est chic. You're right - this isn't the most glamorous look, but through your explanation and characterisation, I don't hate it for not being glamorous. The colours all match quite nicely, at least for your spring look. I'm kinda confused by the dress/skirt and the jacket together since it seems kinda... messy? But whatever. It's not amazing. But it's far from awful!

The only thing I really like is the colour scheme and that's about it. I think I get what you were going for with that jumper, but it SCREAMS 44-year old woman spending her christmas vouchers at the supermarket. It's hideous!

Overall, while I don't think you killed this challenge in terms of aesthetics or fashion, you've really displayed your personality and charisma very well, so who's the real winner here?

Nina Williams
This is also pretty disappointing. The best thing about your entry, besides the workroom look, is the Lulu reference. I think this is the worst offender when it comes to your entry trying to be fashionable in terms of what a "pretty woman" would wear, instead of a drag queen. I kinda hate myself for almost trying to define what "drag" is, but these looks are just so plain. They are fashionable, yes, but there is no essence of character or charisma in either of your spring or fall looks. Maybe you took the challenge a bit too literally? Idk. If you make it to next week, I'd really like to see you push yourselves in terms of "drag" fashion, and not woman's S/S 2017 fashion.

Pixel Dark - Your spring look is literally what one of my friends wore to prom, except in purple, and I hated it then, and I hate it now. I'm a bit torn with your character and if we're meant to take it seriously or not? Are you intentionally sending in cringey and ugly outfits? 2meta4me

I don't hate your fall look however. There are certainly elements that I would've done differently, like a shaved head or something with a stupidly gory accessory or something for a shocking reveal. Those shoes as well... girl. I don't really have that much of a critique for you besides I don't like any of your looks that much, and time will tell if you can actually serve a good look or not. Then I'll actually critique you!

Diamond de la Roux
Come thruuuuu. One of the handful of girls that really hit the nail on the lacefront when it came to the challenges. Both looks are fashionable and unique to your character. I LOVE the shoes in your fall look. I'll repeat this as well for your critique, but please include a small explanation for your looks in future, since it gives us a glimpse at your personality a bit more. Even if it's just to make us laugh! Great job.

The Corporate ****ress
There's an effort in your looks that I really appreciate, even if the looks themselves aren't the best, since both looks feel a bit all over the place. Your spring look especially seems extremely busy, with giant green hair, and busy pattern on the bottom of a dress and loud neon shoes. I think your fall looks is a bit better, especially since it looks like you've really considered how you want your look to be viewed. The strip is a nice... but ugly touch. I'm fairly sure my dead nana had that pattern on her plates. In fact, I'm certain she did. I think both your looks suffer from you really forcing certain obvious colours onto them - your spring look has far too many greens to be really cohesive and complimentary, and your fall look, while a better effort, seems like you thought "blue" and decided that every piece of your look needed a bit of blue on it, when it isn't necessary at all. You could've stayed with a much more neutral palette and your blue strip would've popped much more. I have faith you can really turn it in future runways!

Kunty Clarkson
YAAAS. I love the flow-y nature of both your looks. Love your workroom and spring looks. Not gonna talk about it, unless you want sum compliments, then just say after these critiques are posted! Your fall look is also pretty good, if a little messy. Chanal was right to call you out on the mixing metals in your accessories, because it does look pretty inconsistent. But that's a super small thing that can be easily remedied. Delete the hair. That's about it. Great work!

Nellie Bodhum
I...

Your looks are SO confusing. I'm trying to not be mean since I appreciate you drew your looks, but these looks are messy. So your spring look is a sleeveless... top... that happens to flow extremely long, and you spin around to reveal... cut off jean shorts? I can't!

Why is your fall look wearing cowboy boots? I'm gonna be really honest here, and I guess a bit harsh, but neither of these looks are salvagable. Please consider sending your entries to someone else so they can give you some honest advice. The only thing I can say is, thanks for the laugh?

Moonchild


jk. Wasn't sure how I felt about your spring look, and then saw the sushi fascinator and realised the error of my ways. A very cute and campy look. Not sure how I feel about the shoes, since I think this is another case of "oh my theme is xxxx so I better have every little thing I wear have xxxx on it". It's not a horrible offender in this case.

Onto your Carbon look. I think you're almost there in terms of the fantasy you're giving me, but a few elements miss the mark that really take me there. I don't particularly like the hair here. I wonder why and I think the shoes are pretty uglee. The dress tho. Loves it! Blade Runner Playboy is a very cute description for it, even if I did this look better. Sorry! Just kidding. But not really. Next week copy Aciid if you really wanna win!

Eve Saint Laurence
Yas @ you not quitting again. Let's start with your fall look, which I absolutely love. Besides the dress looking a bit (and by that I mean really) cheap, this is a look I would definitely want to own. That ****ing CAPE. Whew lord. I'm a bit discontent between the flow of the dress and the hair texture here since I think they clash pretty hard, but at the same time, it's #fashun, so why not?

You have this lovely white outfit and then you have this horrible tetris looking wig. Head to toe needs to be strong. Again with the Spring look, what is with your weave sis. My advice right now is if you’re gonna do an outfit look at every aspect of it. Now just because you Cafcan does not mean you cafshould. You look like a plate at my grandmothers house. I’m confused for your fall look. Is it the dress, the pants the jacket?? I’m not sure what you’re going at here.

Harajuku
I’m gonna ask you that you never do this background scheme again because low key it’s really hard to read any of this. Let alone see the looks. So your entrance outfit is…loud for one part. Edit is a key word for this. The hair, the pants its a bit much. Your fall look is much more toned back and I do like it. I think this is very high fashion and couture. And I’m not even commenting on the spring look you perv.

Gigi Presscott
Your entrance look was neat, it wasn’t spectacular but it was neat. Um my only problem is, I really don’t see what you wanna present yourself as with this look. Your spring look was adorable, it was light, fresh, and breezy. I’m not so sure about the pants tho, a bit serious for such a fun top, but I LOVED that nail you did. The fall look was a bit more fun, it was a lovely dress. Um, the shoe situation, you don’t need to match the shoes with the dress all the time. Honestly you should never go head to toe one color and if you are, make sure the shoes are different.

Cybella Sabotage
Your entrance look was FIERCE, you’re giving me “I’m a hoe living in Bel Air and working on the sets of MOVIES darling don’t talk to me get me my coffee” If Amber Rose had talent REALNESS. I liked what you tried to do with the colors and the tones it was very forward thinking of you. I loved your fall look 100% , not TOO much , not too simple you had a piece you made your statement and worked your accessories to enhance it. Your spring look, eh the dress is ugly girl sorry. It looks sad.

Allure
I liked your entrance look, it was really…pretty and fashionable. It didn’t WOW me but I liked it. Your Spring look was the best of the bunch, I liked it, again it was a very pretty dress. Your fall look, I liked the pieces you picked out better then the outfit honestly. The make up you decided on was beautiful , the shoes and the hair styling but the outfit was sort of plain and boring. It was very middle of the pack for me.

Tangerine
I realized something. You’re an Adore Delano. You have such charm and wit in this entry but in the outfits, besides your entrance look, they're pretty boring and pedestrian. The thing I was missing with your actual looks was a statement about who you were mostly. I got off the rack at a department store with these. The fierceness you had in your entrance look, I was wanting to see in your fashion looks and it left me wanting more. I know you’re not a fashion girl but I don’t want you half baking anything, you’re way to smart for that. Oh and the tangerine made a perfect nut sac for my replica of your dick.

Nina Williams
You were a little bit scandalous wearing that into the work room for the first time. But work. I like a good cosplay sometimes. But yes okay I like the cat suit lesbian combat worker get up. Simple and chic, I’ll take it. Boring, A BIT. Love the hair in your fall look, the dress, I’ll give it a little more credit it was more interesting then your Spring look. Overall tho, I’m not SUPER impressed, again you skated on average here and cracked no ice, darling.

Pixel Dark
I honestly love your entrance look mostly because it does serve what you were going for and its a character! I love that. Your spring look was a total dud, you could have made it work for you but you just didn’t deliver on the actual dress. Everything else for it was nice. The fall look, I actually really enjoyed. Well. More then the Spring look. The cloak was interesting, I just wasn’t a fan of the buttons, but I honestly like that you stuck through your aesteic and made it work for the most part. The hair could be bigger. It was small nits and picks mostly.

Diamond
Lose that weird eye thing for your entrance look and then it would be lovely. Too much is not a thing to strive for in clothing sometimes. Besides that its a beautiful look you certainly have an aesthetic. You have very well put together looks. I am choosing to dock you how ever a bit on just picking gowns straight from a run way and adding some pieces.

The Corpulentness or W/E
That crusty wig that crusty wig that crusty wig that crusty wig that crusty wig that crusty wig that crusty wig that crusty wig that crusty wig that crusty wig no. I’ll give you kudos for the attempt of drawing an outfit. It reminds me of Rihanna’s Grammy outfit from awhile ago. It’s different, it shows off a bit of your personality. The spring look is okay, not great. There’s nothing I can really complain about it besides that questionable pattern. But there’s also nothing I’m really raving about. The fall look was kind of weird. It didn’t really scream fall, and those shoes no. There was a lot of wrong IMO and I like that you attempted to add your own taste but it felt kind of spit on there.

Kunty
Ayyyy this entrance look is SICKENING. I love it. Not much to critique you on it. You changed it up a bit from your spring look and went with this lovely-ish gown. It’s kind of plain and I wish there were some statement pieces in it. Your fall look , I like the main jumpsuit, love the sleeves they’re fabulous. The hair and the weird eye glasses can go though, not a fan of them. Overall these were some pretty strong looks.

Nellie
Shhhhh I had to stop judging for a second because like I had no idea what I really could say. Like you did draw this and these are your ideas but :/ they’re kind of bleh. The boa in the entrance look can go. The pointy edges are a no no. It looks like a children’s costume almost. I, I don’t even know if you’re truly being serious with these looks.

Moonchild
Yaaaaas work this entrance look darling. Love it, its fabulous , its you, its wonderful it goes together that wig is ugly so I’m docking a point tho. I love love love your spring look, possibly my favorite from the entire challenge possibly. It’s so cute. It serves high fashion, drag, couture EVERYTHING. Love it. Your fall look is adorable too. It’s simple but you know how to put the tiny things together to really pull off a look. My only criticism is your wigs are damn ugly.

Eve
Well well well isn’t this a cute entrance look. Its so fun, artsy and exciting. Love it, no complaints. Oh, wait yes. Take that wig off your head, mop my floors with it because its ugly and I will not have that. Go bigger and go better please. Your Spring look is cute, it’s a look. I don’t have many things to say on it. Its not bad its not exciting but its passable so that’s good. And bitch do not ever say “it speaks for itself” because it damn sure does not. That laziness is not needed here, write a couple sentences hoe. Docking .5 from your score for that. Learn please. You pull that again and I’ll just type in your score as a comment and tell you it speaks for its damn self.

Angel
I loved the entrance look at first then I sort of hated it then I again liked it. So I'll go with my gut and say that's a good thing. It's different. The wig wood. No. Actually yah I liked the outfit as a whole (minus the wig). Your spring look was amazing. It wasn't anything high fashion or couture but it was a LOOK. Everyone should take notes on how to do casual wear and make it fashionable from you because it was a strong look head to toe. Your fall look was...awkward. I loved the ice skate addition to it that is a DRAG move if i've ever seen one. The dress though, with that short hair. You loose yourself in it. You had some creative ideas that seemed to work.

Evita:
Like the first look. The second doesn’t scream “spring” to me and I don’t like the matchy-matchy vibe with the blue outfit and blue wig. I’m assuming the third look is the Carmen Sandiego look though I’m not sure why there’s a purple dress there? Anyway, this also has the matchy-matchy issue and I don’t love that the top half is all red while the bottom half (pants, shoes) are all black, but those are my high school colors so I’ll give you a little boost.

Harajuku:
I screamed at “which is God’s gift” for some reason. I don’t personally like the first look but I get it. The second one is gorgeous though. Love the headpiece and the Xtina “Fighter” vibes. I really like the concept of the third outfit, but I don’t like nude illusion type stuff in drag (as I pointed out several times last season). Liked the cohesion between the fall and spring looks.

Gigi:
1st look is basic, fine, whatever. I kinda hate the pink shoe in the 2nd look, but I love billowy pants on the runway, so at least there’s that. I also have a shoe problem with look #3. My advice for the future: don’t try to match the shoe directly to your dress, especially if you’re gonna use a color that’s off. I also don’t think the aesthetic of the accessories matches the ragged aesthetic of the dress. Funny descriptions though.

Cybella:
Bold lip. I like it. Your looks are all pretty simple, but I like a clean aesthetic. My favorite look is spring, even if it feels a bit more Florence + the Machine than drag; I assume you’ll accentuate your hips more on the runway. The fall look feels a bit more like winter and I kind of hate the metallic boot with the furry/fringy jacket.

Allure:
I like your first two looks fine. Even without the gloves and mask, I don’t like an all black ensemble for fall. Your presentation wasn’t great (and lacked the effort of some of the other girls) and made it kind of hard to imagine the looks fully. Do you have MS Paint?

Tangerine:
A tangerine ensemble is a bit on-the-nose for the first challenge, but I love the wig. The second and third looks are both fine (I prefer spring), but they also are a little bit unimaginative overall: they look more like you’re just putting together female illusion outfits than making a bold drag look. I know that’s how some girls view drag, but I like the drama.

Nina:
I like the nod to your drag inspiration in the entrance look, though I would have appreciated one little unique spin to show us how your character is original and not a direct rip-off of an already-defined character. Your other two outfits are both cute, but as I said to Tangerine, they’re more like pretty female outfits than “best drag” outfits. I’m also not sure that they fit the theme that well: you could almost flip them. I hate the trim on the gloves for fall.

Pixel:
I guess you went the “costume” route here, which isn’t what makes good drag. I guess your looks were cohesive? But they didn’t fit the theme that well and you overaccessorized for the fall and spring looks. Looks like you focused on dressing according to your character (which explains the one-note vibe in the outfits) instead of trying to put together interesting outfits.

Diamond:
There’s a lot going on with the first look: the dress extends past the neck and even the top of the head, so I don’t know that you need a huge collar and a tiara. If your dress is doing a lot of work, you don’t need flashy accessories. I don’t like those shoes with the dress, but you couldn’t see it under the dress anyway. I have another shoe issue with the spring look, but I appreciate the drama. The third look is obviously an homage to Mariah’s magnum opus, Butterfly, which is nice. I think the coat is too much, so hopefully you ditch it quickly on the runway. Overall, I appreciate that these looks felt more bold and considered than many of the other girls.

Corpulent:
Your looks aren’t very sophisticated. I might like them if your aesthetic was purposely childish or crazy (like you were playing a crazy aunt character or something), but there’s no description, so I’m not sure what you were going for here. On the one hand, this playful aesthetic is nice compared to some of the drab looks seen on the runway this week, but I think to excel in the competition, these ideas need to be reigned in and given a more mature twist.

Kunty:
Your entrance looks feels like it’s been done and is predictable for a ‘witch’ aesthetic, but I love the spring dress. Some of the jewelry is tacky, but it feels very light and provides a nice contrast to your fall look. (More black though?! Ugh.) I see the fall look as a more unique adaptation of your witch idea. Do more stuff like this and less of your entrance look in the future plz.

Nellie:
Your entrance look should exemplify your drag persona. Are you just going to be super gay all season? Not into the cut/colors. Your looks are a little safe, despite your descriptions that make them all sound revolutionary. Not sure how I feel about jean shorts on the runway and a wraparound dress. For next week, think outside the box a bit more; don’t call a fan “giant” if it’s not as big as this: https://www.vfiles.com/api/v2/image/...586088/preview

MoonChild:
Very striking entrance look and thanks for not putting a bunch of accessories on it. Your spring look is cute, but also gives me Katy Perry teas, so idk. I like the contrast in the third look, but for real, why do so many of y’all think of black when you think of fall? Are y’all OK? Anyway, I like the cohesion between the dress and jewelry in this look.

Eve:
Your entrance look is serving Dame Rose to me for some reason. I like old lady chic, but it’s a little too messy for me. Your spring look is a tad boring, but I’m living for your description. Again, I think the look feels a bit… aged. What a surprise, more black on the runway for fall! Cute dress though. This is probably my favorite look, so I don’t get the description. I don’t see any cohesion with the earlier looks, but in this case, that’s fine.

Angel:
Very striking entrance look. I don’t have much to say about the spring look, which is pretty basic. I hate pink-lensed glasses though. Screamed at your fall look having ice stakes but also leaving most of your body exposed, making the outfit unwearable in any season. This was better than some of the other queens though, so I’m glad you came off the waitlist.

Well Evita, you got one thing right. You definitely are selling your caftan like it was an Argentinian Poncho. The problem is, you’re selling it like you’re a street vendor trying to make 10 pesos. The wig is actually offensive to the eyes and the caftan is just a shapeless lump in a really outdated pattern. Your fall look, while cute, is absolutely nothing special. You are here to stand out and this is not it. I was going to compliment your entrance look because it’s a fully thought-out look, but judging by everything else I’m seeing, I think it might’ve been a fluke.

HARAJUKU FUQYU
Thank gawd a bitch came to play! I had my eye on you during auditions and I’m glad you’ve lived up to the expectations I had. You’re kooky and ****ing weird and I hope you are able to hold onto that through this competition. Your entrance look is one of the best we’ve seen in DR herstory, and that’s including the actual show. Well done.

GIGI PRESCOTT
You’re supposed to be a fashion queen, are you not? Your spring look is your best but the other two are underwhelming at best, and hideous when referring to your Fall look.

CYBELLA SABOTAGE
Your entrance look is cute and I think you have a cute aesthetic going there but you left me fairly unimpressed with your other two #Choices. This is FASHION WEEK darling, not a mall tour for the basics. I’m also curious why you thought showing two bare-legged, white-fur coat looks in the same challenge. Again, choices.

ALLURE
You were one of my top picks during casting and I see why. The fashion is here, the looks are concise and you seem to have a great eye for what the judges are looking for. You showed 3 completely different silhouettes and styles. Think yew for doing your job.

TANGERINE
You get points for the creative opening. Here’s the thing, it’s pretty clear you are not a fashion queens by any means (I mean the spring look kind of says it all) but you are committed and are using your strengths to your advantage, which shows smarts. Tangerine is a character so use that.

NINA WILLIAMS
I shouldn’t be bored by your first outing on this stage. I need you to step it up going forward. If you are going to be this referential video game queen – I need to see that. I want to see inspiration from your games or whatever it is you play. Not direct rip-offs from characters. You remember how long Dax lasted, no?

Also
>>>

PIXEL DARK
If your only job in this world is spreading the message of Lucifer, you’re doing a horrible job cause he looks like a no-taste bitch who shops solely at Halloween USA and Hot Topic. I suggest you drop the gimmick quick & actually put in effort before I really start going in. Hope you know how to lip sync.

DIAMOND DE LA ROUX
Okay, Diamond. All of these are phenomenal, high-end looks worthy of being on the finale stage. And that is my fear with you. Coming out of the gate like this SO strong, I’m going to have my eye on you. If this is the kind of stuff you’re pulling out week 1, I expect to see this level continue through the competition. Well done tonight. If I had to give any criticism I would say watch out for doing too much. A lot of these looks are great but very busy and border on outright tacky. Either go all the way with it and make it your brand, or learn when to dial it back.

THE CORPULENT ****ESS
With drawing skills like that, I’d consider throwing out all the blank paper in your home. When picking out these looks, were you attempting to impress or just going for passable? Either way, you failed on both accounts.

KUNTY CLARKSON
Your sense of style is so far different from my own but everything you’ve shown is is so polished, cohesive and distinct in your vision. I think you have a really great eye and wowed us with 3 completely different, well-executed looks. All around great job.

NELLIE BODDUM
Having those artistic talents and deciding to not find looks online is the equivalent of Pearl entering a personality contest. At least your last name is fitting for tonight.

MOONCHILD
The Cruella look is inspired, though I would’ve loved you to push it further with the hair. If you’re going for camp, go camping. Don’t stay in a hotel near the campground. Onto the good, your other two looks I am living for. You have a playful wink when it comes to fashion and it’s refreshing to see someone who can go quirky while still looking sophisticated.

EVE SAINT LAURENCE
Your entrance was cute and then it kind of just went all downhill into forgettable nothingness from there.

ANGEL OLEANDER
The Fall look saved you because I was unimpressed by the first two garments. You are coming in after being waitlisted so you need to work twice as hard to prove to us why you should be here. That being said, you seem to have a sophisticated and avant-guard sense of style. Push it further going forward, should you get that chance.

[6 Apple St]

i DEMAND you remove those expectations of me

[Vulnicura]

With drawing skills like that, I’d consider throwing out all the blank paper in your home.

But yas @ these reviews.

[Satan]
