![]() But we’re here to talk fashion, so get on your leprosy print and reading glasses-you're gonna learn today. Speaking of names, poor Heidi N Closet got a name roast like we have never before seen in all twelve seasons of this show, and mind you, this show has a winner named Bob the Drag Queen. The downside of that is that we get no real action until next week, but the upside (especially if you’re new) is that you might actually get these bananagrams names down sooner rather than later. Season 12 of RuPaul’s Drag Race kicked off with introductions to seven queens-we’ll meet the rest of this season’s crop next episode. Those two queens then lip sync for their life (spot in the competition) against one another. If you’re new to RPDR, it works like a basic competition reality show: every week there’s a fun, low stakes mini challenge, and then a maxi challenge-a winner is crowned, and two queens land in the bottom. Welcome to Fits for a Queen: a new weekly enterprise where we (Justin and Lauren) will be guiding you through the style and fashion details of Season 12 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. So we invite you in with us this season to explore the fashion influences that this season of Drag Race offers because Shantay (we’re going to keep calling you that), it’s reading season. Remember that harness Timothée Chalamet wore to the Oscars last year? An impossibly skinny legend named Violet Chachki has a thing or two to say about that. RuPaul’s little reality series has turned into a behemoth that dared to shake up the style world, all the way down to men’s fashion. Gender is a construct, just like our clothes. But if you’re not paying attention to drag, you’re only getting a fraction of the fashion story. Are these men (and the occasional woman) often in dresses and jumpsuits and bustiers? You bet. With the series going into its twelfth season, we thought it was time that we start paying attention to a subsection of fashion that has taken pop culture, put some lipstick on it, and made it doubly fabulous. As the headline suggests, you have landed on a post about RuPaul’s Drag Race, but seriously. Shantay- may we call you Shantay?-please stay.
