RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars 412月14日星期五首映。对于未经启发的人，您可能会退房的人RuPaul’s Drag Race (RPDR)第一次有这么多的爱:crazy challenges, the daring lip syncs to decide who goes home, and even the scantily clad, muscular men of the “Pit Crew” that help the queens. (I just watch the show for the articles though.) However, the best part of RPDR is the drama. In All Stars, favourite queens return for another chance at the crown to become America’s Next Drag Superstar. Let me introduce you to this season’s queens:

As RuPaul’s says, “Category is”: Fav Queens
My personal favourites and the ones I believe have the best chance to win.

Monet X Change (Season 10)
我爱莫奈X变更。我有机会看到她在维也纳的演出，但演出确实很昂贵，所以我只是在街上大喊她的名字，希望她能听到我的声音。莫奈（Monet）参加了今年夏天的RPDR的最新赛季。直到她最终进入倒数第二，她才真正在我的雷达上注册，并被迫一生唇同步。看着她将其分解为尼基·米娜（Nicki Minaj）的“磅警报”，使我成为一个人。除了蕾哈娜（Rihanna）在2012年维多利亚秘密时装秀期间，蕾哈娜（Rihanna）值得一看的跑道漫步，这就是我每天获得维生素G（AY）的方式。莫奈（Monet）在本赛季的第一集中还创造了有争议的（阅读：丑陋）的海绵连衣裙。从那时起，每一集都出现了海绵，她甚至在YouTube上发行了一首关于海绵的歌曲。

Monet, Iconic Lip Sync:

马尼拉·吕宋岛（第3季，全明星1）
What rhymes with vanilla? Manila! We stan this Filipino-American queen who competed on Season 3. Asian queens are rare onRuPaul’s Drag Race这个季节我们有两个！马尼拉（Manila）也是全明星1，使她成为两个皇后区之一，在RPDR全明星中两次竞争。首先，我对马尼拉在拖拉之外非常着迷，所以让我们摆脱困境。其次，马尼拉是一个热闹的女王，他对菲律宾第一夫人伊梅尔达·马科斯的名人印象是传奇。她的面部表情最好，最好的反应和最好的口音。评估她的幽默感的一个好方法是马尼拉说“the thing I have, that you haven't seen on your show is that I'm Asian - and I am taller than 5'2!"

Naomi Smalls（第8季）
Naomi Smalls doesn’t just have legs for days, she has legs for decades. Drag isn’t about looking like a runway model, but if it was, Naomi would win hands down. She is incredibly creative and fashion forward. Her looks are couture, modern, and she knows how to sell them as she walks down the catwalk. She actually made it to the top 3 of her season so she’s definitely a serious threat in this competition. My favourite look of Naomi’s is this avant-garde style moment. If you’re interested in fashion, she’s the contestant to watch.

类别是：戏剧皇后
除了假发，礼服和化妆外，这些皇后都在为他们带来争议和阴谋拖Race.

Valentina (Season 9)
Valentina has been praised by the judges for her beauty and body. She has both in spades but some of the other contestants felt that she coasted on her looks rather than her talent. Valentina looked like a frontrunner until her shocking elimination after a dramatic lip sync. One of the biggest mistakes a queen can make is not knowing the words to a song. Valentina took it one step further by wearing a mask over her mouth to cover her mistake. She even declined to take it off afterRuPaulstopped the lip sync midway and asked her to remove the mask, resulting in her elimination.

在聚会上，瓦伦蒂娜（Valentina）也陷入了争议，当时她令人难以置信但凶猛的粉丝群在网上向许多其他皇后区派遣了死亡威胁和侮辱。一些人甚至批评其他皇后没有为了挽救她的消灭而没有牺牲自己的牺牲。其他皇后区进一步激怒了，因为在这些社交媒体冲突期间，瓦伦蒂娜（Valentina）保持安静。

Gia Gunn（第6季）
尽管吉亚（Gia）是一个“可恶的”女王，在拖曳世界中，这意味着她看起来特别女性，但她在赛季的早期就被淘汰了。2017年，GIA以跨性别为单位，目前正在接受激素疗法。这里的戏剧是，最近，鲁帕尔（Rupaul）因他在演出中对跨性别竞争对手的敏感言论而受到了抨击，由于他在LGBTQ社区中的领导作用，这件事特别受到伤害。他说，他不希望经过过渡手术的表演者参加比赛，将他们与服用增强毒品的奥运会运动员进行比较。这是完全的牛市，人们很快就批评了他。阻力一直是并且仍然是一个包容性的空间，在跨性别社区中具有很强的历史根源。Rupaul对这一事实的无知以及他对有效批评的恼人反应意味着Gia在演出中的存在是高度预期的。这一举动绝对是朝着正确方向前进的一步，但需要正确处理。我很想知道Rupaul的表现。Here’s a good article更多背景。

类别是：模因皇后
Queens whose epic moments during their tenure have been repeated and interpreted endlessly by RPDR fans and whose quotes are indoctrinated.

Jasmine Masters (Season 7)
Jasmine Masters has this wonderfully deep, raspy voice which she uses to tell it like it is. Everyone should also be jealous of her because she manages to have rocking abs without seemingly doing any of the recommended diet and exercise. I do both and still have flabs. Jasmine is supremely popular because of her YouTube videos where she sits in front of a camera and tells you to get your sh-t together. She created the satirical “Get a Job YouTube challenge” and has several videos telling you to “wash yo’ ass” and “wear deodorant” because she’s sick of dealing with other people’s odours. She’s going to be a definite source of comedy this season.

Farrah Moan (Season 9)
Farrah is a beautiful queen who seems like she’s ditsy and whiney about everything. In reality, she’s incredibly sweet and genuine, though she has been known to call people out on their bullsh-t if she needs to. She’s actually pretty whiney too. If you didn’t get the pun, Farah’s name sounds like “pheromone” because she’s all about the classic, sexy Marilyn Monroe look. In the most recent season of拖Race, guest judge Christina Aguilera dressed up as her. Farrah also gave us this amazing reaction gif from an emotional, but notthatemotional, moment in Season 9.

Valentina (again)
I know we’ve already talked about her but Valentina’s shocking elimination produced this amazing meme that you have to see. When RuPaul stops the lip sync and asks her to take off her mask, she replies“I’d like to keep it on please.”Eventually she’s forced to take it off, but this simple interaction gave birth to some hilarious interpretations and even a LUSH facemask. Here are some of my favourites:



莫妮克心（第10季）
莫妮克还参加了最近的赛季拖Race由于她对挑战和不可抗拒的个性的有趣叙述，很快就成为了粉丝的最爱。她很棒。演出中的许多参赛者都配有昂贵的定制礼服，使评委们惊叹不已。令人印象深刻的是，莫妮克（Monique）在第10季的演出中从头开始制作了她所有的服装。她是一个可爱的女王，为自己想要的东西努力工作。她最难忘的时刻是认为长颈鹿印花是牛的印花，并给我们报价，“I saw it and I was like, ah! Brown Cow, stunning!”

三位一体“ The Tuck” Taylor（第9季）
三位一体是选美女王变成喜剧女王。虽然仍然是一位高级时尚的大师，并穿着创意和独特的服装，但她的诀窍也很有趣，他的诀窍是创造高度难忘的角色。Trinity做了一个“紧绷的tuck”，可以将睾丸弹出回去的地方，然后向后拉鸡巴（通常是在胶带的帮助下），以产生“女性幻觉”。Trinity的“ Shtick”是，她的标志性小时玻璃形状和大量的屁股来自屁股中的肉毒杆菌毒素等注射剂，这是她喜欢经常参考的跑步插科打bot。当客座法官和超模琼·斯莫尔斯（Joan Smalls）称赞她的屁股时，“我需要带自己去健身房，”Trinity replied with“No, just the doctor.”

拉特里斯（Latrice
Latrice is the queen of quotes. She is “large and in charge, chunky yet funky” and she is the second queen to have competed on two All Stars along with Manila Luzon. In fact, Manila and Latrice were on the same team so perhaps an alliance will be formed to knock out some of the competition. Latrice is funny and pithy and she can rock an outfit like nobody’s business. Sometimes she is preaching words like“Jesus is a biscuit, let him sop you up,”which breaks out into a full choir chorus. Other times she’s offering valuable advice like“5 G’s please: Good God Get a Grip Girl,”or“everybody makes mistakes, but bitch you better look sickening when you get up and make them eat it!”The best times are when Latrice lets loose this indescribable laugh that you just have to hear for yourself.

这个季节具有庞大的个性和多样化和包容性的皇后。如果您想暴饮暴食，Netflix将拥有第2至9季的RPDR. Check out the Carol of the Queens promo featuring all 10 Queens in the upcoming premiere.
