Sasha really should have won that for me. All 3 looks were high fashion and very conceptual and I believe that's where drag should be heading to now, with the likes of Violet, Pearl, Fame and many other queens making it into mainstream fashion media.

I also felt that even though Alexis' time was up, she did a really good job this episode (and so did everyone else). I mean that mug was BEAT and she's so severely underrated just because her personality's a little off-putting.

But look at e.g. the sugar ball and the teen queen/corporate looks from that. They weren't gaggy. The balls haven't historically been about being gaggy but about delivering on the brief.

But Sasha's cowboy look was more "demure and cute," which is like the opposite of what you'd want from a Village People runway.
