The runway recreation on RuPaul’s Drag Race is so extremely fierce throughout the board in current seasons that it is grow to be more and more uncommon for me to be completely entranced by a drag look — however Bimini Bon Boulash, from season two of the present’s UK counterpart, managed to do it seemingly with out effort with a whole outfit adorned in fake, bejeweled zits. That is proper, sparkly zits has simply made its approach down the enduring Drag Race runway.
In the course of the March 4 episode, Bimini (can I name you babes, babes?) introduced her “zit swimsuit” for the week’s given theme, “stoned on the runway,” for which each queen delivered some type of jewel-encrusted look. She wore flesh tones from head to toe within the type of strappy heels, striped tights, and an outsized jacket, all of which had been coated in uneven clusters of pink gems meant to seem like zits breakouts. Beneath Bimini’s shaggy platinum-blonde wig, her pores and skin featured the identical sparkly “zits,” which she pretended to pop along with her fingers as she walked and posed for the judges.
In different phrases: Bimini Bon Boulash simply made zits objectively attractive, nay, trendy, to the lots. The minute she appeared on this look, I audibly gasped and known as my roommate — who’s lived with extreme hormonal cystic zits her total life — into the room. Her response? “That is the type of stuff that I actually wanted to see on TV after I was younger.”
And I do know precisely what she meant by that. Positioning zits as one thing artist and funky can undoubtedly assist folks really feel extra assured with regard to their very own breakouts — and if that is not the facility of drag at work, I frankly do not know what’s. Seeing as Bimini obtained glowing critiques from RuPaul and firm (and was later introduced the profitable queen of the week), the judges clearly agree.
