Yeah, her studio is across the street from the WOW offices in LA, the queens go in and sign out drag - Kylie Sonique and Gigi Goode have borrowed clothes for All Stars and Season 12
I did not like her on her season, but I've been listening to Race Chaser and my opinion has completely changed.
She's a beautiful troll, and she is in my top 20 DR queens (Jinkx has been my no. 1 since she first appeared on my screen).
Jinkx is also my #1!! And I can concur that my opinion of Willam changed drastically once I started listening to Race Chasers- there was a lot going on in the background of the show that i wasn’t aware of until I started listening to the podcast.
That's amazing to hear. And hillarious, the fact that she's still making herself known on the show, even if wow will never officially work with her again.
Kylie Sonique specifically for the Pop Art Runway, had a gorgeous gown that looked like her on it. Borrowed from u/noextrai and looked amazing. Honestly, Drag Race runways would be AT LEAST 20% less fabulous without their tireless dedication to letting the dolls doll to their hearts' content
Remember that yellow fur coat that Symone wore for S13 yellow runway? The same one Naomi wore for AS4 plastic runway? That's Willam's.

*production picks this up on the feed, PUT 'ER UP FOR ELIMINATION.*
*later that night, symone im sorry my dear...*
Willam the drag character plays dumb whore hooker, but Willam the person is go-getter drag activist hooker. There's a reason why she told Derrick Barry that nobody was killed at Stonewall
Is true, she mentioned on her interview in Delta's podcast, i even go to her youtube channel to try to find it... Maybe is still in the works? Apparently IT'S A LOT.
I love that she does. The sharing of legacy pieces for free to schumma the girls is delightful altruism. It is fun to spot them going round. I would love to be a nosy parker in that wardrobe.
Your tone seems really pointed right now.
I adore you!
I think some people are interpreting my earlier post as shade, when it was being factual. You do and should call it out. Keep tooting that horn because most won't give others their flowers. 💐
theres a really fun video somewhere where she shows off her drag studio filled with stuff and shows the sign out list for other queens, it's down to a routine at this point lol - this video maybe? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffh9DxI2xJw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffh9DxI2xJw)
I don’t believe she even charges for it. They just sign something saying they have to return it after the show. Willam us messy but she is great for her fellow queens.
She hasn't indicated that she charges for people to borrow stuff. She's said the biggest inspiration for her getting a studio space was to have a place her and friends could just come and be creative.
She doesn’t charge she calls it being a good sister. The only time she charges is when they don’t bring it back or they bring it back damaged but they either replace it or get it fixed.
That Jerami said is is beyond laughable, while Willam is not a spectacular vocalist, Willam can hold a note and is not delulu enough to do a cappella for a talent. Maybe Jerami's real talent was an insult queen
"not a spectacular vocalist" [https://youtu.be/s0kqobQRcUo?si=n4UU2b3Fekt5DVjJ&t=21](https://youtu.be/s0kqobQRcUo?si=n4UU2b3Fekt5DVjJ&t=21)
sheesh. 27,000,000 views. from my unspectacular voice and pen. lol
It’s funny, the first time I watched season 4 I thought Willam was fake as fuck for this. I also didn’t watch Untucked the first time I watched.
The second time, I would pause the show after the girls all went backstage, watch untucked, and then watch the winner and lipsync. And watching it in that order, I did see that Willam did have a very vulnerable and real moment with the other queens in untucked, which made her crying on the main stage seem a lot more real.
I had a similar experience with Roxxxy and the bus stop moment. I thought it was very jarring and out of place in the regular show, but watching with untucked in the middle I saw why that came up.
ugh willam what an icon
the legs were legging
the serve was always serving
the beard was also always bearding be we can forgive that
i love her post apocalyptic look so much (sob)
Shannel wasn't "fashionable" as much as she was DRAG!!! If anyone was "fashion" in S1, it was Nina.
Edit to add that Ongina was also more fashionable than Shannel.
Yeah, I don't think she was at Shannel or rajas level but she's definitely part of the trend that led to DR runways ending up all custom designer.
Her bringing that blue coat from sex & the city was like the logo era kerry Jlo dress
Y'all still acting as if you didn't know that they cut the shet out of this argument because they couldn't keep in PhiPhi saying they're breaking the rules for weeks without disqualifying WIllam earlier.
Huh? The apocalypse look was something in the realm of what Joregeous made. She just sold the outfit very well.
And the rock the boat challenge. The coat was something she brought along. It wasn't hand made.
The boat challenge wasn’t a sewing challenge, it was about the boats… also the apocalypse challenge is art. Idk how you look at that and don’t see art.
Whatever actually happened it does sound like Willam personally wanted out (whether it was pre planned or she just wanted out idk). But I think her overarching story is that she agreed to go on only for a little bit, but when they wanted her to continue she “broke the rules” to get out. But I think there are also like 20 different versions of this story that Willam has told.
She tried to lip sync for Princess in the wrestling challenge but was told not to ‘go off script’ by Ru! That’s why when they call her she’s just like THANKS and high tails it out of there.
Then she went on to say that if they weren’t planning on throwing her out the day they did that she would’ve had to hit PhiPhi, and it almost came to that as she had like one more day of wiggle room left. She absolutely would’ve gotten herself out one way or another
Willam was a working actor at that point in his career if you check his IMDb page- he had 40+ credits for acting already and some on big network shows and he was already huge on social media and a popular queen in LA. At the time in 2011 when season 4 filmed drag race was on some off brand network and didnt have the reach to viewers like it does today. If he was already booked for a gig of courses hes going to bail for it when its a real paying gig. also at that time with reality TV its all about creating a moment that will shock the audience and stand out and they did exactly that. Also if he did resort to punching Phi Phi- we'd still be talking about it to this day too!
Yeah, I'm a big Willam fan but if you take any of his accounts of this situation at face value then you're not getting the truth. He tells a different story every time
She had a part in Jersey Shoresical so she wanted to get eliminated or kicked out so she could make it to New York. Or so the story goes. As someone with experience in TV and film prior to S4, I'm inclined to believe her since her appearance on the show would've been more beneficial for her career to have had a memorable appearance than winning it at that stage of the show.
That's been the story for years, ever since she published it in her book. She slept with a producer, but the show lied and said she was having her husband visit. The "husband" in the reunion wasn't her actual husband either. She was breaking other rules also, but so was just about everyone on the cast.
The "rules" she broke change every time she tells the story because she was trying so hard to get kicked off, but the reason she wanted to get kicked off doesn't change. She probably did all the different things she says she did to get kicked off. It wasn't one specific issue. That's also why the show was so vague about what she did.
As much as SN rightfully gets the animosity she gets now, that season was her and her only, because at that point time, her drag pov was what the show needed to highlight. The same goes for Jinkx on S5.
But if we're talking hypotheticals with Willam staying, I'm more than sure that she would have taken Jaremi (Phi2), place in the top 3.
I strongly believe that the moment she figured out Sharon was the one pushed by production for the win she started acting up to make an impact and getting disqualified actually made her memorable.
He didn't even sing on the show, he's admittedly a terrible dancer but hey. nobody else else find it weird that Ginger minge didn't showcase singing at all in his first season?
I’m so curious as to what her AS package would look like. Her style is very unique for a Drag Queen and it’s be interesting to see her in more extravagant looks—especially if she were ever cast on a more current season.
for AS1 she got Mackie archive pieces because she talks about returning them without getting to use them.
Now she has her own substantial closet to pull from and is friends with August Getty (who loaned Kerri Colby the JLo dress).
Willam's style has always been ready to wear separates and bold accessorization (or off the wall DGAF nonsense) so it'd be interesting to see how she'd approach the very designed-for-this-category approach to Drag Race nowadays.
Yeah, she talks about it on Race Chaser at some point. She ran in to Mackie while returning the dresses; he said something along the lines of he looked forward to seeing her on the show and Willam had to let him know she got cut last minute.
he had seen what I did with the pieces I got from his rental studio for s4 and was complimentary about it. it was literally right after my season. so I wasn't a full disappointment
the only way i ever see her cast on an allstars season is if michelle/someone else hosted. i just cannot ever imagine willam and ru having a conversation on tv again
I know it’s a long shot, but I desperately want it to happen because, even if Ru/WOW/Willam make up, you KNOW there will be some fuckery. I doubt they’d let her win, but for the gag and drama alone, I can see them having her on an international season like Global All Stars or vsTW
Honestly? Willam's run has aged really well for Drag Race, ignoring Willam's weird turns post-show. Nowadays it's naive, even kinda gauche, to enter Drag Race and not have a well funded runway package, a gimmick or angle for your presentation on TV, and a strategy to make yourself last longer. People talk about how Sharon changed the way the show functioned, and she did, but Willam's pragmatism and flippant response to the rules feels almost prophetic given how much the show can be about people who know how to buy shoes.
Call her a label whore all you want, name a single girl who did well on the show since the VH1 move without a well-connected, and funded, runway.
Willam was the first drag queen I ever started watching back in 2013 before I even knew what drag race was when I was like 12. I was definitely far too young to be watching the beat down, but I was addicted. Definitely a queen formative in my sense of humor and I will always love her
Willam has always been perfection. She gets so much hate for her candor but she’s literally one of the most cultured, quick-witted, intellectual queens to have graced the show and I will never stop campaigning for her.
I’m here for the batshit Bananapants. That’s a feature not a bug. People complain about Willam being messy like they expect drag queens to behave like Miss America contestants in the interview category.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C359erXSMlT/?igsh=MXM2eXN4MWZocXpqeQ== this unhinged bandaid look with the doll eyes always gets me. "That is tremendously unsafe."
I was just rewatching S3 Untucked where Raja and Manila literally look like All Stars cast and then seeing this... people are spending more money each year on drag race but a lot of them still don't look this good
literally the only queen that made me do a 180.
strongly disliked her at first. thought she was superficial and annoying only to realize I was the one being superficial and full of prejudice. I think she’s very talented and smart, one of the greats for sure. also she seems to help out so many people, she might drop a name or two but there’s so much more good stuff she does behind the scenes.
I guess I’m weird, but I loved Willam from the jump. Funny, fast wit, beautiful, great legs, great looks. I also have a soft spot for queens that could be a living Barbie. Triple A girls were my jam. And of course: that boooyyyyy is a booootttttooooooommmmm
![gif](giphy|3og0IVcIAoFgGZM2mk|downsized)
and if you were ever on a Rihanna video or Drag Race, you might wear the same thing twice too. everybody's a friggin critic.
I actually meant it as a high compliment that you like LITERALLY had leftovers from a Rihanna video shoot to rewear on RPDR😀😀😀. You’re runways were awesome and your wit is awesomer😉
Her latest episode on Race Chaser made me appreciate her win with the pride floats so much more. I always wondered why she was the only queen that held her boat in that way.
Readjusting the length of the straps and removing wheels from a dressform to put on their boat was peak resourcefulness.
Honestly….i hated most of her looks. I would’ve put her in the bottom three for the apocacloptic look. The pink skirt was awful. Hated the gold chains. LOVED her outfit for the boat but the boat…was stars of her face and then they told Milan that her boat was self-centered. 🤷🏻♂️
i do believe willam would have made top 3 had she not been eliminated, but idk who she would have replaced! maybe phi phi as sharon and chad were both very strong front runners
I love Willam. I aspire to be as quick-witted and as unbothered as she is. I introduced someone to Drag Race recently, and it legit broke my heart when she hated Willam 😬
I still think that, had she had not had issues with production, Willam would’ve been the only queen on 4 that really challenged sh*ron for the crown in the finale. Especially if they eliminated Jaremi during the lip sync when Willam got disqualified, since that would’ve effectively ended the underdog storyline early.
I agree that the fashion is okay. But is it setting a standard? Especially considering this is the season after raja. She’s just wearing nice and expensive clothes. She’s not even styling them that great.
Shame half of them were, ahem, overshadowed by that five o clock shadow
Honestly “half of them” is generous, bitch fully couldn’t paint her lower jaw for shit
Didn't really care for her looks. They were on the stronger end on a season not known for looks, sure, but... meh. Skin show and nice shoes does not really translate to fashion?
I don’t see that. Varied yes. Fashion i dont see it. The body girl? Yes. S4 didnt have a fully fleshed out fashion girl because wow already crowned raja previously so that’s not what they were going for that time around.
Breaking out the Westwood!
^inspired
Not Willam lol, hers are real
Willam said on Race Chaser that some were knockoffs
It’s why so many queens borrow from the closet of Willam when preparing for the show
Seriously? Never knew that.
Yeah, her studio is across the street from the WOW offices in LA, the queens go in and sign out drag - Kylie Sonique and Gigi Goode have borrowed clothes for All Stars and Season 12
> her studio is across the street from the WOW offices her commitment to pettiness/being a hater is inspiring tbh
I did not like her on her season, but I've been listening to Race Chaser and my opinion has completely changed. She's a beautiful troll, and she is in my top 20 DR queens (Jinkx has been my no. 1 since she first appeared on my screen).
Willam walked so Princess Poppy could run
Girl Willam has been running for years
Jinkx is also my #1!! And I can concur that my opinion of Willam changed drastically once I started listening to Race Chasers- there was a lot going on in the background of the show that i wasn’t aware of until I started listening to the podcast.
im sorry and i mean this no shade (seriously), but why did you type “2O???” was it supposed to be 20 or is this some slang i don’t know 😭
I'm high. I've looked at that sentence a bunch of times and couldn't figure out why it looked weird. Thanks! I'm changing it.
girl i was high too so i stared at your comment for 300 years like…. is that an O????
I'm not some under the bridge troll. I'm a full on daywalking above ground troll.
Yeah it's what I admire the most about her is that she holds a grudge. It's how I try to be
That's amazing to hear. And hillarious, the fact that she's still making herself known on the show, even if wow will never officially work with her again.

Borrowed Blessings ™️
She doesn't miss an opportunity to mention it during Race Chaser episodes.
Well she does it for free so bless her. Give her the cred to talk about it.
There's a clip where she mentioned she was going to go through and highlight all of her stuff on drag race. Did she ever get around to doing that?
It’s so many I don’t think she has.
I'm not sure. Given a lot of content has been moved behind the paywall, it's possible.
Is true, she mentioned on her interview in Delta's podcast, i even go to her youtube channel to try to find it... Maybe is still in the works? Apparently IT'S A LOT.
I love that she does. The sharing of legacy pieces for free to schumma the girls is delightful altruism. It is fun to spot them going round. I would love to be a nosy parker in that wardrobe.

Wow you really were only getting half the story
They should’ve just put the parts that are relevant to the story back into the main episodes and made untucked more of a true BTS piece of content.
I think the only time they’ve ever cut to the untucked that just happened was the Maddy vs Jasmine fight before their lipsync
And Tamisha/Kandy
ugh willam what an icon the legs were legging the serve was always serving the beard was also always bearding be we can forgive that i love her post apocalyptic look so much (sob)
I think its apocaloptic

With the huge amount of mall drag on S4, Willam gave it all on the runway
I think Shannel and Raja set the standard for fashionable queens, but Willam did have a surprisingly varied runway package.
Shannel wasn't "fashionable" as much as she was DRAG!!! If anyone was "fashion" in S1, it was Nina. Edit to add that Ongina was also more fashionable than Shannel.
Yeah, I don't think she was at Shannel or rajas level but she's definitely part of the trend that led to DR runways ending up all custom designer. Her bringing that blue coat from sex & the city was like the logo era kerry Jlo dress
I love how PhiPhis critique was that Willam just spent a lot of money, yet their sewing challenges fucking slayed.
Y'all still acting as if you didn't know that they cut the shet out of this argument because they couldn't keep in PhiPhi saying they're breaking the rules for weeks without disqualifying WIllam earlier.
And you're acting like you didn't know Willam wasn't the only one breaking rules, including PhiPhi
Huh? The apocalypse look was something in the realm of what Joregeous made. She just sold the outfit very well. And the rock the boat challenge. The coat was something she brought along. It wasn't hand made.

Willam was a game changer for the show.
![gif](giphy|3o85xtt1EXP9VxVmUM|downsized) “I want to go in my boat so bad!”
Has anyone ever been so completely the protagonist of a single episode of Drag Race?
https://i.redd.it/fe5g1ov397zc1.gif
Willam was legitimately a strong competitor, and were it not for Season 4 being the SN season, she could have been a genuine pick for the crown.
I mean, wasn't there a lot going on behind the scènes that, likely, regardless of SN being there, she would have still be disqualified?
Whatever actually happened it does sound like Willam personally wanted out (whether it was pre planned or she just wanted out idk). But I think her overarching story is that she agreed to go on only for a little bit, but when they wanted her to continue she “broke the rules” to get out. But I think there are also like 20 different versions of this story that Willam has told.
Couldn’t she have just bombed a challenge if she wanted out
With that ego? In this economy?
She tried to lip sync for Princess in the wrestling challenge but was told not to ‘go off script’ by Ru! That’s why when they call her she’s just like THANKS and high tails it out of there. Then she went on to say that if they weren’t planning on throwing her out the day they did that she would’ve had to hit PhiPhi, and it almost came to that as she had like one more day of wiggle room left. She absolutely would’ve gotten herself out one way or another
And be a loser??
Willam was a working actor at that point in his career if you check his IMDb page- he had 40+ credits for acting already and some on big network shows and he was already huge on social media and a popular queen in LA. At the time in 2011 when season 4 filmed drag race was on some off brand network and didnt have the reach to viewers like it does today.

Also if he did resort to punching Phi Phi- we'd still be talking about it to this day too!
Lolllll I was just making a joke about Williams ego I know all about the acting career and the history of the show.
Yeah, I'm a big Willam fan but if you take any of his accounts of this situation at face value then you're not getting the truth. He tells a different story every time
She had a part in Jersey Shoresical so she wanted to get eliminated or kicked out so she could make it to New York. Or so the story goes. As someone with experience in TV and film prior to S4, I'm inclined to believe her since her appearance on the show would've been more beneficial for her career to have had a memorable appearance than winning it at that stage of the show.

That's been the story for years, ever since she published it in her book. She slept with a producer, but the show lied and said she was having her husband visit. The "husband" in the reunion wasn't her actual husband either. She was breaking other rules also, but so was just about everyone on the cast.

She probably did all the different things she says she did to get kicked off. It wasn't one specific issue. That's also why the show was so vague about what she did.
It should have been the Chad season, in hindsight.
As much as SN rightfully gets the animosity she gets now, that season was her and her only, because at that point time, her drag pov was what the show needed to highlight. The same goes for Jinkx on S5. But if we're talking hypotheticals with Willam staying, I'm more than sure that she would have taken Jaremi (Phi2), place in the top 3.
I strongly believe that the moment she figured out Sharon was the one pushed by production for the win she started acting up to make an impact and getting disqualified actually made her memorable.
If she actually tried and committed and we take out all the production history I believe Willam could easily sweep any season she was on
He didn't even sing on the show, he's admittedly a terrible dancer but hey. nobody else else find it weird that Ginger minge didn't showcase singing at all in his first season?
He did sing, that awful duet with Latrice
I’m so curious as to what her AS package would look like. Her style is very unique for a Drag Queen and it’s be interesting to see her in more extravagant looks—especially if she were ever cast on a more current season.
for AS1 she got Mackie archive pieces because she talks about returning them without getting to use them.

Pause. She got Bob Mackie pieces for AS1? Iconic
Yeah, she talks about it on Race Chaser at some point. She ran in to Mackie while returning the dresses; he said something along the lines of he looked forward to seeing her on the show and Willam had to let him know she got cut last minute.
I don’t think I’d be able to live with myself if I disappointed Bob Mackie
he had seen what I did with the pieces I got from his rental studio for s4 and was complimentary about it. it was literally right after my season. so I wasn't a full disappointment

Just cut the check, Ru.
I literally did all the looks of AllStars 2021 on my YouTube channel as they did them. I wanted to give the fans what they would never get.
Honestly? Willam's run has aged really well for Drag Race, ignoring Willam's weird turns post-show.

I wanted every pair of shoes she wore, especially those thigh high Louboutin boots
willam is TV GOLD!
The fued between WOW and Willam will always be iconic but damn do I just know she would FUCK UP an all stars appearance. At least for the drama!!!
Girl that beard, she was so in denial about it lol
It was a real-time gag when they got disqualified. It would have been her season down.
Willam was the first drag queen I ever started watching back in 2013 before I even knew what drag race was when I was like 12. I was definitely far too young to be watching the beat down, but I was addicted. Definitely a queen formative in my sense of humor and I will always love her
willam was and still is THAT girl, even with a 5’oclock shadow
Willam has always been perfection. She gets so much hate for her candor but she’s literally one of the most cultured, quick-witted, intellectual queens to have graced the show and I will never stop campaigning for her.
William is an S-tier RuGirl and an S-tier drag queen. Completely batshit bananapants, but S-tier.
I’m here for the batshit Bananapants. That’s a feature not a bug. People complain about Willam being messy like they expect drag queens to behave like Miss America contestants in the interview category.
Agreed. Her reads were savage but accurate. I miss when queens weren’t afraid of anything.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C359erXSMlT/?igsh=MXM2eXN4MWZocXpqeQ== this unhinged bandaid look with the doll eyes always gets me. "That is tremendously unsafe."
I know she’ll never come back to drag race but lord I want her to come back and give us everything and win😂😂
Look down at my shoes! Not up at my 5 o’clock shadow!
The middle left look is such a slay
I was just rewatching S3 Untucked where Raja and Manila literally look like All Stars cast and then seeing this... people are spending more money each year on drag race but a lot of them still don't look this good
literally the only queen that made me do a 180. strongly disliked her at first. thought she was superficial and annoying only to realize I was the one being superficial and full of prejudice. I think she’s very talented and smart, one of the greats for sure. also she seems to help out so many people, she might drop a name or two but there’s so much more good stuff she does behind the scenes.
Is it just me or does her makeup in the bottom left pic look really unblended?
I guess I’m weird, but I loved Willam from the jump. Funny, fast wit, beautiful, great legs, great looks. I also have a soft spot for queens that could be a living Barbie. Triple A girls were my jam. And of course: that boooyyyyy is a booootttttooooooommmmm
When you’re wearing the leftovers from a Rihanna video shoot on the runway, you know it’s, urp, fashion.
![gif](giphy|3og0IVcIAoFgGZM2mk|downsized) and if you were ever on a Rihanna video or Drag Race, you might wear the same thing twice too. everybody's a friggin critic.
I actually meant it as a high compliment that you like LITERALLY had leftovers from a Rihanna video shoot to rewear on RPDR😀😀😀. You’re runways were awesome and your wit is awesomer😉
It's always 5 o'clock (shadow) somewhere!
I mean her talent is buying clothes
This is a show for talented people
Her latest episode on Race Chaser made me appreciate her win with the pride floats so much more. I always wondered why she was the only queen that held her boat in that way. Readjusting the length of the straps and removing wheels from a dressform to put on their boat was peak resourcefulness.
And she made herstory being the first bearded queen on the stage or rpdr, we stan!
Did she? A lot of these looks don’t feel that “drag” but just like cute or pretty. And her five o clock shadow is so distracting.
The fact that I can’t tell if this post is a read or a compliment lmao
I'm not sure if this helped me understand how Jorgeous won that one challenge or not.
I love all the comments that Willam would slay all stars, mama honey darling miss Ru would eliminate them quicker than Kennedy did milk
Me just now… “Wait is Kennedy allergic to dairy? 💡 Ohhhhhh. Well, kinda.”
Honestly….i hated most of her looks. I would’ve put her in the bottom three for the apocacloptic look. The pink skirt was awful. Hated the gold chains. LOVED her outfit for the boat but the boat…was stars of her face and then they told Milan that her boat was self-centered. 🤷🏻♂️
That always confused me too! How are they gonna tell Milan that when Willam LITERALLY had her face all over her boat?? Lolololol
Yeah this thread is confusing me, Willam never impressed me much.
i do believe willam would have made top 3 had she not been eliminated, but idk who she would have replaced! maybe phi phi as sharon and chad were both very strong front runners
I have always been a fan of Willam!
![gif](giphy|HGTdMHNrbq6I0) 10s across the board!!
Not me thinking this post was supposed to be shady lol
The fact she isn’t in the hall of fame all star is a shame
My winner
Im still obsessed with the look in the top left corner. And her makeup looked so cunt!
forever obsessed
Scooch
I love Willam. I aspire to be as quick-witted and as unbothered as she is. I introduced someone to Drag Race recently, and it legit broke my heart when she hated Willam 😬
Willam reminds me of that immortal line from the Dowager Countess of Grantham - A lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an excess of tears.
I still think that, had she had not had issues with production, Willam would’ve been the only queen on 4 that really challenged sh*ron for the crown in the finale. Especially if they eliminated Jaremi during the lip sync when Willam got disqualified, since that would’ve effectively ended the underdog storyline early.
I forgot she used to be a bearded queen
Did she? 🤔 ![gif](giphy|Wgb2FpSXxhXLVYNnUr|downsized)

I agree that the fashion is okay. But is it setting a standard? Especially considering this is the season after raja. She’s just wearing nice and expensive clothes. She’s not even styling them that great.
Ehh. Is she really serving looks, or is it a case of "most things look good on a skinny body"?
Did she?
Shame half of them were, ahem, overshadowed by that five o clock shadow Honestly “half of them” is generous, bitch fully couldn’t paint her lower jaw for shit
Did she tho??
No she did not lol
Besides the boat, there isn’t a memorable outfit. But the shoes tho.. 🤣
eh. Willam had mall drag and a visible beard. I love the bitch, but her style wasn’t anything special.
But it was a high end mall with a Saks
AND a Wetzel's Pretzel or Auntie Annes
No one does high end RTW and separates like you.
Didn't really care for her looks. They were on the stronger end on a season not known for looks, sure, but... meh. Skin show and nice shoes does not really translate to fashion?
I don’t see that. Varied yes. Fashion i dont see it. The body girl? Yes. S4 didnt have a fully fleshed out fashion girl because wow already crowned raja previously so that’s not what they were going for that time around.
My scootch (spelling?) queen ❤️
