At least, that’s what it used to be all about.
In the early days of the art form, many drag artists did it all by themselves.
Gone are the days of queens knowing how to make a leotard or slip dress for a bar gig.

It’s simply not enough.
Hence, the overwhelming amount of performance-based challenges.
The problem was they were similar to what shes presented in the past.
But her pageant style of drag is her identity.
Her looks were not bad.They were just not what the judges wanted.So what happened to Hormona?
She was put in the bottom and was eliminated in the lip sync.
In any other season of the show, Hormona would not have even been up for critiques.
The problem for Hormona was not her concepts and throughline, which new rotating judgeLaw Roachpraised.
It was because it did not transcend the show.
But it was drag, so why penalize her?
We’re never going to forget the “Ella.”
And then,Lana JaRaegives fashion.
Her runways were not perceived to be pushed far enough.
Compare and contrast her design to whatJorgeouspresented during Season 14, and you’d be left scratching your head.
Like Hormona, she, too, found herself having to Lip Sync for her life.
Unlike for Hormona, it was for completely different reasons.
Throughout the history of the program,the rules for design challenges have truly wavered season by season.
Can a Design-Centric ‘Drag Race’ Spin-Off Be the Solution?
Thanks,Michelle Visage.
But look at an average night out at a bar in a big city.
It also helps those non-performers who succeed in fashion the chance to shine.
And, here’s one more idea for ya World of Wonder!
The show has had some extraordinary fashion designers providing runway looks for the queens packages.
Give them a chance to compete and shine alongside their clients.
The list goes on.
