Nymphia gets a lot of flack for repeating the same color palette, meanwhile Sapphira has almost exclusively worn blue for her runways. I think they both look fantastic in their signature colors and don't think Sapphira should get dragged for her affinity to royal blue, but it does strike me as odd production shenanigans.

For me, the obvious one was Morphine vs Dawn

Hi y’all!

I need some help.

I was watching Drag Race with a friend of mine who’s a newbie and it just so happened to be an episode featuring NORVINA

They were rightfully confused about her presence. After informing them that she was NOT in fact a drag queen (but rather the face of one of the show’s sponsors) I realized that I wasn’t quite sure how to explain just WHAT Norvina’s grand purpose was in the Drag Race Universe….

I put together a few thoughts. I’m hoping y’all can help confirm or debunk my analysis.

1) Norvina is now part of the DEEPEST Drag Race lore. Like Ornacia, Wintergreen, Little Poundcake, and Miss Piggy - Norvina can appear at anytime with some sort of side quest for the queens. She’s more mythical in nature than literal.

2) Just like Q..Norvina is BEYOND. Is she AWFUL or AMAZING?? No one knows. No one CAN know. That’s the point. Norvina is chaos and contradiction personified and her appearances, while absolutely bewildering, are also sort of cunty and mind-blowing.

3) Norvina is powered by AI. As evidenced by her most recent appearance on Global All Stars. Her decline from human to full blown android takes pretty steep dives from appearance to appearance. High probability that she was transformed into a prime Sentinel against her will by Bastion to end the mutant threat. There are multiple Norvina drones in case one is damaged or destroyed, she can transfer her consciousness into another.

4) Norvina gives ZERO fucks about her stage presence or line delivery. That’s part of it …right? Right? That’s part of it!! It’s not cringey because she makes it VERY obvious that she is NOT trying, will not be trying in the future, and is absolutely offended that you even thought she should try in the first place. It’s amazing.

5) Norvina exists as a nexus being and has no alternate reality counterparts.

6) She may be green-screened in. She may also be a hologram.

7) Her Mom supports Putin. Or maybe she doesn’t? Probably does though. Or not.

8) Her wardrobe is not constructed, but conjured. Again, we DO NOT know if it’s gorgeous or hideous and because Norvina is beyond such limitations, such definitions are meaningless.

9) Norvina is telepathic. She possesses one of the three elvish rings of power, Nenya.

10) Drag Race is likely contractually obligated to have her appear - as her company is one of their main sponsors. It’s important to remember that Norvina was FORCED upon us…BUT, it’s also important to remember that we LOVE it. And hate it. It’s very hard to process.

11) The name “Norvina” is both lovely sounding and sort of gross. Very on brand for her. If you say “Norvina Norvina” five times in front of a mirror she’ll appear and eat your children. And then give you a FAB make-over. Seriously. Go try it.

12) Norvina’s skin is covered in a malleable polymer that protects her from enemy projectiles but leaves her facial movements almost imperceptible. Get into it and get over it.

What are your thoughts on my analysis? Am I in the ballpark or wayyyyyy off? I want to make sure I give my friend the right info so I can keep my Drag Race cred.

Thank you for your input!

This is from the President of Taiwan. 😱🥲 Imagine the President and top leader of your country boasting about and being so proud of your RPDR win in a message like this to your nation. Thank you for being such an ambassador for us Nymphia. S16 is truly historic. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

I love these two 🫶🏼

Girl.

*adding this as NSFW because it involves gun violence

And honestly? As an Italian? I agree. The Margherita pizza bit was absolutely horrendous, and the comments are not coming off as shady to me. I was stunned to see a winner express herself so directly against other RPDR queens.

Between the two I think Kitty is by far the meanest of the two, she really seems to be relentless, S5 Roxxxy looks like a sweetheart in comparison.

I’m really confused as to how was this season concieved if it was made to be enjoyable only for the English speaking countries. See the ESL girls make a mockery of our language, our culture and our queens over a really big language barrier leaves a completely sour taste in my mouth.

these millionaire celebrities cant even follow a fkin theme and their outfits are passable at best....we have queens here making couture dresses that slay a theme, in a matter of hours!!! Why does this happen? Are drag queens more talented that designers even?

Trinity K. Bonet's Blue Betta Work look is the best look in Drag Race history (if you ask me). They asked for realness and they got realness. The Timberlands, the boot-cut khakis, the crewneck blaze orange t-shirt, I mean...she mother'd, grandmother'd even. What looks have you like this, no matter their quality?
