But it wasnt Ashley on stage.
No, no.It was the drag king debut of Ash T.O.P.!
She continues to be the bright light during a slightly dark season.
Two other entertainers joined in the fun.
One, a DC staple,Crystal Edge.
Too many Real Housewives have failed to do their jobs and have been rewarded for it.
Not everyone would be willing to try their hand at drag, let alone as a drag king.
She learned the art.
She understood the importance.
And she allowed the moment to be for the community.
It shared the other side of gender expression through a grander lens.
Before Ashley, or Ash T.O.P., took the stage, it was a war between Karen and Mia.
Something no one should have been shocked by.
There is a time and place for everything, but not with these ladies.
Just wait for brunch the next morning!
Then it can return.
Sure, Ashley’s new life without Michael Darby is an interesting story.
Yes,dating a much younger man inJosh Gudenburris juicy.
But this was Ashley at her most authentic.
We love to see it!
All episodes are available to stream on Peacock.
