I remember back in the day when we actually needed to wait almost for a year for the next season of Drag Race. Now we are blessed with Drag Race and All Stars, along international seasons of Canada, Thailand, UK, Netherlands, Down Under, Spain, Italy, France, Philippines, Belgium, Sweden, Mexico, Germany, Brazil and the list continues to grow every year. It has literally got to a point where I simply cannot keep up. I am still behind on All Stars España and Belgique. Thankfully WowPresentsPlus makes it so easy to view all franchises of Drag Race and all of the extra content. If you are living in the country of the Drag Race franchise that you want to watch, eg. you want to watch Drag Race Canada while you live in Vancouver, you will need a VPN in order to access region blocked content. I personally find that Surfshark works quite well as a VPN. I always use Drag Race Wiki for checking Drag Race content.

On to the Queens and their promo looks!

I want to go my favorite moment(s) of each Queen's on whichever season of Drag Race that they were on.

Let's start with Angeria. It would have to be from the Acting Challenge on episode 4. "This is not RuPaul's Southern Hospitality Race!". She was drop dead gorgeous and painted for the gods all season long.

For Gottmik, I simply cannot choose. All of her looks, she literally brought the fashion to season 13. And don't even get me started on her Snatch Game as Paris Hilton. She is one of the ones to beat this season.

Jorgeous is not really my tea of cup, but there is no denying that she is the one to watch in the lip-syncs. My fav from her season probably would have been the one against Orion's Story.

Nina West will bring life to the season. Yet again, I cannot pick just one. Her confessions will be fiiiire. I also live for her music videos, I will never get tired of HUCKS.

Plastique Tiara just being Plastique. She is just fun to watch and gorgeous. Her looks are always flawless, I'm excited to see what she'll bring to the main stage.

Roxxxy "Where my people at?" Andrews is OG Queen of ru-veals. Need I really say more? Her lip-sync against Alyssa Edwards will always remain as one of the best. I really want to see her lip-sync against Jorgeous.

Shannel, the OG villain/diva of Drag Race, will serve, period. Her best moment had to be her "I am beautiful" speech. She was highly underrated on her season and should have been appreciated more by the judges.

Vanessa "Vanjie" Mateo's legendary exit will probably be the most memorable. Vanjie is just made for television and I cannot wait for the memes that'll come out of All Stars 9.

My favs are Gottmik, Nina West and Plastique Tiara. Who's yours?
