RuPaul’s Drag Race. . . In Space?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mizzou chapter.

Season 9 is on the horizon, but the girls have already beamed in from another planet! I appreciate these pre-season interviews because I would not have been able to handle them walking out back-to-back in the first episode. Notice how effortlessly they catch your eye! Each season of Drag Race makes it increasingly difficult to predict a winner. Honestly, this is truly the greatest runway show on television. When is another All Stars season hitting my screen, Ru? 

Are you ready to meet the new contestants?

 

Eurekaaaaa O’Haraaaa! I hope you sang that to the tune of “Ivyyyy! Winterrrrs!” She’s coming to break molds and show us what’s what! Eureka is absolutely hilarious, and I predict one-liners for days.

Kimora Blac. I’m giving you one-and-a-half strikes for the loose lips about the legendary Kimora Lee Simmons while simultaneously basking in the light of her name.

Shea Couleé! Her performances this season are going to knock us out of the water. Prepare to have your soul sucked out of your throat from gasping so hard.

Sasha Velour. She has the greatest disconnected unibrow I’ve ever experienced. That is all.

Alexis Michelle. I have no words. The dress is breathtaking. She’s centered in the power of her own unique presence, but don’t think for one second she’ll let those girls try her without biting back.

Peppermint. She may be the most humble on the show. Of course, I’m not completely sure because they all switch up when ish gets real. Hopefully, she knows when to pounce at the right time.

Jaymes Mansfield. Okay, she kinda scares me. The prom dress is very Carrie.  She just might bring out the serial killer in Peppermint. I see her starting drama and sitting back to enjoy the fiasco a few times this season.

Nina Bo’nina Brown. Brown is Ruby Rhod re-re-re-reloaded. If I ever have to reincarnate again, I’m coming back as Nina Bo’nina’s child prodigy.

Farrah Moan. She reminds me of the Britney impersonator in a previous season. I’m disappointed that’s the first thing I noticed, but she isn’t as memorable as the other queens. I love the name, though! Very clever!

Aja. Aja is my fave already! She’s very unique, and it might make her a laughing stock in the studio. However, when it’s time to show out, they’ll be starstruck. 

Trinity Taylor. Trinity’s is a pageant girl, obviously. Her hair is very Little Richard, so I love her already! 

Charlie Hides. She is the oldest contestant in the history of the Drag Race! Her personality is pure gold. She didn’t give us much to predict her competitive side, but she might steal the trophy before we can snap out of her charming spell.

Valentina. She is Cindy Lou Who all grown up. Her hair is bigger than she is, and she still manages to be the star. I’m already sold just because of the60’s makeup she was giving us in the interview.

While we wait for the season to begin in March, we can only bide our time. Can you guess who’s who based on these descriptions? Go here now to fill in the blanks and get a sneak peek of what these queens are throwing at us this spring!
