Instead, she appeared like a soft-focus mirage donned head to toe in bronze. The sweaty sentiments are running high tonight! □ #DragRaceDownUnder /ZhaDjwXEll Out of all the banality, it was Kita Mean that took the biggest risk, for the biggest pay off… But more on that later… Ru Serves LooksĪt least we can thank the gay girly gods, that Ru for the season one finale, chose not to dress like a Subway wrapper- a look she seemed to have been obsessing over for most of season one. When it came to part two of this season’s final maxi challenge, each of the queens were asked to put their own spin on Ru’s iconic “I’m a Winner Baby” but it all felt a little pedestrian in the end.
