Seriously Jane Don’t’s performance was next level! Between Bosco, Jinkx, Irene, BDLC, Robbie Turner (pre-car scandal), the count of amazing queens is just so high!
I looove that too. She said it with her whole chest without skipping a beat. She knew in that moment that no matter who was standing next to her was going to lose.
Honestly, one of the moments where I fell in love with her so much was when she forgot to assign herself a trunk/role/queen (notice how production always asks them what they want first now!? icon, trendsetter) and it just showed this like, kind and thoughtful person and idk, wasn’t this “I’m getting mine, fuck the rest of yall, here’s weird matches to make you fail.”
To me, Robbie is someone who said some shit… that is OBVIOUSLY still going on in the fandom (welcome to the stage Current Events) but just didn’t have the manipulative bone in her body to really stand behind it and “make it work for her” or put it on a t-shirt, ya know? Miss her and wish she’d be back. I can’t imagine how good the confessional look would BE omfg
What ever happened to her in the end? It’s so crazy to think she just vanished after tweeting something that was later disproved. I think the fandom clocking her on it may have brought real consequences in her life or something.
Wild to compare but Ginger Minj is a serial story embellisher and she has done 3 AS seasons, Robbie lied about some fictitious driver years ago and to this day even her season peers haven’t even told us anything solid about her whereabouts and well being.
This was so long ago that I was just checking her last post and she even felt the need to apologize to Uber’s CEO 😭 I feel like we’ve been knew Uber is a trash evil company for so many years now. This was so long ago that the infamous post is about to be 8 years old while Robbie had been famous for being on drag race for just 2 years prior to that. This was so long ago that if Kamala had won, it would’ve been 3 presidents ago.
Well Seattle girls say they don't know, some talk to her but don't reveal anything. One girl said Robbie has moved to another city and does a day job and that's the extent of it. And i think I've heard all this from the interview with jane don't by Joey Nolfi from entertainment weekly
hi i live in seattle! the drag scene here is fucking awesome. it's pretty big with lots of scenes to choose from. we value camp and comedy pretty highly and burlesque is a large part of seattle drag, it's very intertwined with the drag scene and many drag performers also do burlesque. helps that seattle is pretty queer friendly.
I loved Seattle so much when I visited in 2013.
My husband I arrived without realizing it was pride. It was a total blast!!
There were some morons protesting, and the amount of counter protesters with hilarious signs vastly outnumbered them.
I recall seeing lots of fun cosplay/camp/punk style drag at pride vs glamorous stuff.
It struck me as an artsy progressive city long before I ever saw RPDR.
For real though, it’s the culture around the arts in the PNW. Don’t take yourself too seriously and you’ll know who you are. Then excel at who you are. Then secret third step?? And profit.
When she was done with her lyrics so fast, started helping out the other girls and then killed it when the time came to perform, I was like oh she’s good at Drag Race. And being on top sewing challenge she’s got that and comedy so she’ll be a threat for sure.
Genuinely I’m guessing if she does ever get eliminated it’ll be for the most wtf moment and ends up against Juicy in a lip sync. Cause she’s proving the chance of her being eliminated for sewing or performance is pretty slim, I could picture it being another makeover let’s eliminate a front runner situation. (Please know this is NOT spoiler, I don’t watch the videos people seem to always do now, this is me genuinely just guessing. I hope she makes the top two/three/four)
I love the Seattle queens I’ve seen but I’ve always heard (and I’m saying rn this is just rumors/hearsay) that Seattle as a city is also kinda racist. Like I’ve always heard those super progressive Pacific Northwest areas also deeply struggle with racism, bc there’s a lot of white supremacists there. I can’t speak to this bc I’ve never been, but I was friends with someone whose girlfriend turned out to be part of a Seattle-based white supremacist femboy polycule. And all these ladies ARE white. I’m sure it’s nice! Like I said I’ve never been. But I’ve always heard that from my friends, especially my non white friends. That Seattle is nice, but they seem jazzed about maintaining a certain white culture.
I live in Seattle and I think it really depends on who you surround yourself with and where you are in the city neighborhood wise. Don’t get me wrong, its still around, but it’ll be harder to find the crazy east Washington racists in like Capitol Hill or Ballard than say like Madrona or Ravenna. Also it’s wayyy more microaggresive than outright racist, even in the more minority-friendly areas. Although maybe I just have good friends 🤷🏻♀️
Also gotta say, “Seattle-based white supremacist femboy polycule” is one of the wildest things I’ve ever read lmaoooo
Oh tbh that one was more from personal experience lol no shade or anything. Probably should’ve stuck with like Montlake or some other rich people neighborhood fr
FINALLY yall learning about my girl Jane Don’t!!! Been going to her shows for yearsssss. She hosts at one of the main gay bars in Capitol Hill (the gay neighborhood) in Seattle
She was the host for the ButtTooTKing show my daughter and I saw in Seattle in October. She was insanely funny and quick witted and performed a fantastic number during a costume change. We both said this queen NEEDS to be on DR.
Technically I think Denver has the best track record in Drag Race thus far- 2 winners, 1 runner up (who should have been winner imo, Nina Flowers is that bitch) and Nini Coco definitely has promise for this season!
It’s a bit different though when we have multiple New York queens on most seasons. The fact that Denver and Seattle have so few and they almost always seem to do well is impressive.
For example, the only New York queens this season being the pork chop… lol
I still think New York is one of the most successful at producing great drag race girls. DD is the only New York queen to have gone home first and from what I’ve been able to find these are every NY queens besides Sherry Pie to have competed on the show
Shuga Cain, Vivienne Pinay, Sahara Davenport, Jiggly Caliente, Pearl, Scarlet Envy, Lana Ja'Rae, Nicky Doll, Miz Cracker, Jasmine Kennedie, Aquaria, Miss Fame, Dusty Ray Bottoms, Vivacious, Yuhua Hamasaki, Monét X Change, Jackie Cox, Alexis Michelle, Kandy Muse, Olivia Lux, Aja, Sasha Velour, Bob the Drag Queen, Nymphia Wind, Peppermint, Megami, Acid Betty, Thorgy Thor, Bianca Del Rio, Honey Davenport, Rosé, Xunami Muse, Jan, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Milk, Dawn, Brita, Lemon, Milan, Ivy Winters, Plasma, Tina Burner, Manila Luzon, Mimi Imfurst, DD Fuego, Jax
Most of these queens made it at least half way and had a big impact on their season either by winning, being finalist or lip sync assassins. A lot of them have also came back to all stars.
I don't think people are disputing that NYC has produced a lot of great drag queens, it's just that NYC has had the most drag queens compete (so by sheer numbers, a lot will go far)
Seattle & Denver have had a lot less queens compete, but those that have competed have done absolutely well for themselves!
None of us take ourselves too seriously out here. We all have sarcastic senses of humor and our average level of wit is so fun and shady. The whole PNW is this way. It's the perfect formula for pleasing RuPaul (and the masses).
We definitely have vapid, self-obsessed, no-personality queers here (won't say any names...), but most of us are more similar to Bosco.
To be fair, Arrietty is genuinely so talented when it comes to fashion design and crafting looks/clothes. She could have gone far, career-wise, from that alone. One of the best look queens this show has ever seen.
Talent and the vindication to ride public transit in drag 100%
Seattle Queens have a lot of earned confidence. I'm not sure how the scene is currently, but I'm certain talent is blossoming as we speak. And, yes, it's thanks to our beautiful tap. Lol. (Our tap still tastes better with a RO machine FYI to ppl who want our delicious tap)
I remember seeing Jane Don't's premiere performance (I believe). They were a baby queen when I knew them. I'm so proud of all the Seattle queens as they've gone worldwide. 🙌
We have phenomenal queens here but there is a bit of toxicity with the bar management and tycoons who feel they own a queen once they set foot in their bar.
Don’t forget Robbie Turner. I did(n’t).
The car doors she has opened!
Edited to reference lol
Someone should make a post to show real appreciation and love to Robbie without sarcasm.
I mean, just her confidently saying the word “wheels” is one of the cuntiest moments on the show to this day, IMO. I miss that bitch for real.
I looove that too. She said it with her whole chest without skipping a beat. She knew in that moment that no matter who was standing next to her was going to lose.
Without hesitation, like obviously she was going to do it in wheels, who would ever consider lipsyncing in shoes?
Robbie really said, "let me tell you a little story about heels... NO."
Honestly, one of the moments where I fell in love with her so much was when she forgot to assign herself a trunk/role/queen (notice how production always asks them what they want first now!? icon, trendsetter) and it just showed this like, kind and thoughtful person and idk, wasn’t this “I’m getting mine, fuck the rest of yall, here’s weird matches to make you fail.”
To me, Robbie is someone who said some shit… that is OBVIOUSLY still going on in the fandom (welcome to the stage Current Events) but just didn’t have the manipulative bone in her body to really stand behind it and “make it work for her” or put it on a t-shirt, ya know?

Whatever’s going on we wish you the best, Robbie.
Well Seattle girls say they don't know, some talk to her but don't reveal anything. One girl said Robbie has moved to another city and does a day job and that's the extent of it. And i think I've heard all this from the interview with jane don't by Joey Nolfi from entertainment weekly
The remains of magnolia Crawford
Underrated comment
I think it's the no Vitamin D
Oh I’m sure Bosco is getting A LOT of vitamin D
Now you know why she wears such skimpy outfits - it's to maximize Vitamin D absorption when the sun is out.
😂
Hasn’t she said something like being sexualized makes her uncomfy?
The woman who sells a body pillow with her naked body on it?
That's Annie, we try not to sexualize her
Wait, what? Doing super suggestive and sexual content but not wanting to be sexualized seems like....an odd choice.
I'll have you know I take two vitamin D pills nightly to make up for that

hope you can come back soon! cap hill pride is Huge!
I really should. I had the best time.
I love Seattle so much. I live in Vancouver Canada and I try to come down as often as I can. Capitol Hill is my favourite place to visit.
Ashamed to admit I spent a while trying to figure out who BDLC was because her name is usually shortened to Dela
Bicole dage lrookes, Ctlanta
A stretch but always so funny to me 😂😂
Kinda like my vajoinaaaaa occcckkkuuurrrrr
In my mind, I read this in Laganja's voice circa 2014 and giggled uncontrollably.
Love her
This sentttt me
I was like Bob Da Lag Cueen?
Literally same 🤣
Barantxa Dastilla-La Cancha
La Concha*
Still a very fun name tho
Big Dick Lady Camden
Iktr
BisDress Lisabelle Crooks
Bimini Don Lou Cash.
Bangeria Daris Lan Cichaels
Boftware Development Lifecycle
I had no idea who BDLC was. Thanks for your comment.
It could also be the lesser known Ben Downloadable Content
Bianca Del la Crème?
Not BenDeLaChrist…savior of drag queens!
Of course it is, she was on the famous show Ru-puuul’s Drag Race.
Banadarzia Lanacuway
Also Robbie won a girl group challenge doing a punk performance !
Honestly think she is one of the best queens to not come back for all stars, loved her (despite everything and her retirement)
Honestly same, I don't care if she dyed it herself but her Red Carpet runway is still one of my favorites!
That dress and how beautifully Robbie wore it are not talked about nearly enough.
https://i.redd.it/jfecjsx9pqcg1.gif
Cucu: she looks like Greta Garbo! 😍
Naomi:
90% sure she lied about this dress ever being white.
I still think of her roller girl realness at least once a week. I would wear that outfit every day and live out my Loretta fantasy.
The roller skating lipsync and busted stage light are more than enough to cement her as a legend.
She was great in Les Chicken Wings
It’s the (not so) seasonal affective disorder
For real though, it’s the culture around the arts in the PNW. Don’t take yourself too seriously and you’ll know who you are. Then excel at who you are. Then secret third step?? And profit.
This episode turned me into a Jane hardcore stan gotta be honest, she was LEAGUES above the others
When she was done with her lyrics so fast, started helping out the other girls and then killed it when the time came to perform, I was like oh she’s good at Drag Race. And being on top sewing challenge she’s got that and comedy so she’ll be a threat for sure.
Genuinely I’m guessing if she does ever get eliminated it’ll be for the most wtf moment and ends up against Juicy in a lip sync.

(Please know this is NOT spoiler, I don’t watch the videos people seem to always do now, this is me genuinely just guessing. I hope she makes the top two/three/four)
i didnt have her in my top 4 prediction but rn she might be bumping athena out of that spot……
Jane is the clearest finalist candidate of the entire cast.
Jane is absolutely top 4 no question asked lmao. What she did in those first two episodes was nothing short of amazing
i wanna agree but this cast is lowkey pretty stacked in terms of potential. it truly is anyones game imo
Isn’t Seattle known for being a very educated and progressive city? I’d imagine the audiences there are very demanding. It’s hard to skate by.
Yeah we're all a bunch of nerds who are stuck indoors most of the year
Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks... They have it all!
I love the Seattle queens I’ve seen but I’ve always heard (and I’m saying rn this is just rumors/hearsay) that Seattle as a city is also kinda racist. Like I’ve always heard those super progressive Pacific Northwest areas also deeply struggle with racism, bc there’s a lot of white supremacists there.

Also gotta say, “Seattle-based white supremacist femboy polycule” is one of the wildest things I’ve ever read lmaoooo
Wait, why is my neighborhood Ravenna being called out like this?! We're not white supremacists! Hell, I'm black!
Oh tbh that one was more from personal experience lol no shade or anything. Probably should’ve stuck with like Montlake or some other rich people neighborhood fr
Arietty found in a ditch
That's where she has to be planted to try grow.
Coffee, salmon, and teriyaki. Those are the only foods we have.
Talent.
FINALLY yall learning about my girl Jane Don’t!!! Been going to her shows for yearsssss. She hosts at one of the main gay bars in Capitol Hill (the gay neighborhood) in Seattle
She was the host for the ButtTooTKing show my daughter and I saw in Seattle in October. She was insanely funny and quick witted and performed a fantastic number during a costume change. We both said this queen NEEDS to be on DR.
I love that they are all basically related, too. lol
Technically I think Denver has the best track record in Drag Race thus far- 2 winners, 1 runner up (who should have been winner imo, Nina Flowers is that bitch) and Nini Coco definitely has promise for this season!
I think New York probably is with Bianca, Bob, Sasha Velour and Aquaria all being New York queens
It’s a bit different though when we have multiple New York queens on most seasons. The fact that Denver and Seattle have so few and they almost always seem to do well is impressive.
For example, the only New York queens this season being the pork chop… lol

The gloom of the physical environment seems to feed creatives in a particular way.
None of us take ourselves too seriously out here. We all have sarcastic senses of humor and our average level of wit is so fun and shady. The whole PNW is this way. It's the perfect formula for pleasing RuPaul (and the masses).
We definitely have vapid, self-obsessed, no-personality queers here (won't say any names...), but most of us are more similar to Bosco.
It’s Seattle and Denver 🤝
must be that fresh fresh air

Yes
The Arrietty and Magnolia Crawford erasure
To be fair, Arrietty is genuinely so talented when it comes to fashion design and crafting looks/clothes. She could have gone far, career-wise, from that alone. One of the best look queens this show has ever seen.
fr like they're all so effortlessly funny
Jane Don’t feels like this seasons winner. She’s like a combo of all the Seattle Queens that Ru loves
Isn’t it crazy what a good school system can do?
An education.
Arrietty found dead.
(No shadeeeee she is problematic at times but I actually still like her)
Talent and the vindication to ride public transit in drag 100%
Seattle Queens have a lot of earned confidence. I'm not sure how the scene is currently, but I'm certain talent is blossoming as we speak. And, yes, it's thanks to our beautiful tap. Lol. (Our tap still tastes better with a RO machine FYI to ppl who want our delicious tap)
I remember seeing Jane Don't's premiere performance (I believe). They were a baby queen when I knew them. I'm so proud of all the Seattle queens as they've gone worldwide. 🙌
And none for Arrietty IJBOL
Heels or wheels. WHEELS
She clearly went to the Jiynx Monsoon school of drag
Loving Miss Jane Don‘t and Miss Mia Starr and Miss Vita Vonteese Starr. My top three!!
Arrietty with her mouth sealed shut is also on this list.
I'm obsessed with Jane Don't. I want her to win.
Progressivism
We have phenomenal queens here but there is a bit of toxicity with the bar management and tycoons who feel they own a queen once they set foot in their bar.
I love Jane don't but, with all due respect, her look this week was giving Joey Jay's train runway
Had to google this to remind myself. I mean they’re very similar concepts but Jane Don’t’s was done very differently and a whole lot better lol
I’m late to the party, what was the Robbie Turner car scandal? Please, may I have some tea?
