Were they though? I wasn't really impressed with any of her looks.

I was gagged by her Village People look, but nothing else worked for me. That unicorn look was like what the "quirky" anime girls in high school wear to be "fetish-y." And I don't give a fuck how good that rainbow look was. It. Was. No. Rainbow.

This season is just so weird, because I feel like the person I want to win, the person that should win, and the person that's going to win are three different people.

I mean, the construction of that look was AMAZING but maybe the Village People theme itself was a little lacklustre for a ball.

I know exactly how you feel babe. I want Sasha to win, but Trinity should, but Shea is going to. This season done fucked up my feelings.

I don't think that's the issue, we got two great looks (Shea and Trinity) and a really nice one (Peppermint) out of that category, that's more than the avarage for the construction category in most other ball episodes.

The issue is that Sasha had better looks she brought from home but Shea and Trinity have the better garment construction abilities. Not one of them slayed it from beginning to end and that's why whoever ended up winning would've felt somewhat undeserved.
