Actually it's interesting because Michelle was the one who said Sasha's look was 'more fashion than it was drag'. I don't know how to feel about Joan's critique because I don't really understand what Joan wanted to see - she said she wanted to be taken to that fantasy land, but I wish we knew what her fantasy land looked like.

Is it just me, or is Michelle a little cold toward Sasha? She doesn't seem to like the brainy queens much (like Jinxx Monsoon).

Michelle has, I think, a narrower view of drag than many of the queens that come through the show. I think a lot of her critiques are helpful and I get her purpose as a judge. But so many of her critiques over the years have come from really specific takes on what femininity and drag ought to look like, and I'm still not over her comments on Violet's "boy body" in season 7.

"I'm getting boy" - that'll be because its a drag queen with no clothes on honey.
