Gentlemen, Start your Season 8!

Oh My God, I don't even know where to go with this! It's Season 8, Episode 1, Overall Episode 100 of RuPaul's Drag Race! I've been waiting for this for an entire year!!!

We start the race with 12 queens, all stunning in their entrances!

Acid Betty

Bob The Drag Queen

Chi Chi DeVayne

Cynthia Lee Fontaine

Dax ExclamationPoint

Derrick Barry

Kim Chi

Laila McQueen

Naomi Smalls

Naysha Lopez

Robbie Turner

Thorgy Thor

The ladies did a magazine shoot with 7 of the previous 8 winners (including Chad in that there lineup, like the fierce queen she is, but Bianca couldn't make it) 

L-R: Violet, Chad, Bebe, Raja, Sharon, Jinkx, Tyra, a Clown

Each of them had to pose, with some doing much better than others, Kim Chi was perfection in that outfit:

Kim Chi takes centre stage

whereas Chi Chi looked... stunted.

Due to post-processing and timelines they had to use another way to choose someone to 'win' the first mini challenge, so Morgan McMichaels 'popped' along and...

It's a Boy!!!!! Robbie Turner to be exact

Robbie had to assign looks from previous episodes to the others, and they were assigned thusly:

L-R: Money Ball from Violet went to Acid Betty

Pride Floats from Latrice went to Naomi
Drag on a Dime from Shannel went to Naysha

L-R: Post Apocalyptic Couture from Chad goes to Layla

Glitterball from Tyra goes to Chi Chi

Sugar Ball from Jinkx Goes to Cynthia

L-R: Hello Kitty Couture from Hello Kitty goes to Dax!

Hair Ball from Bebe goes to Kim Chi

Cake Couture from Raja goes to Thorgy

Gone with the Window from Raven went to Bob

The Queen that Mopped Christmas went to Derrick

The Bitch Ball from Sharon Needles went to Robbie Turner! I saw him forgetting to choose himself something right from the beginning - it's gotta be a lot of pressure to assign 12 themes!!

Real Talk: I still can't believe that girls go on this show and can't sew. The second you're invited, you learn to sew sew sew. It's been challenges each season and at least 2 of them were having mini-meltdowns and unable to sew. That said, most of them did amazingly well!

My personal Top 3 of these outfits:

Layla McQueen

Kim Chi

Bob The Drag Queen

Layla being a contentious choice, I really felt that she the look was new and that it stayed with her aesthetic. That fucking jacket she sewed, I want one.

Kim Chi showed us what I think will probably win the season, killer makeup and ingenious style.

Bob was classic, with the rings from the top being incorporated and the skirt and bodice flowing perfectly.

At the end of the day, one queen has to leave, and tonight it was Naysha Lopez who sashayed away

What a mistake, telling us that it was your first dress, showing your illusion underwear and in the opening moments of your outfit, showing us your tuck!

And so, RuPaulish Season 8 starts with a dark green with dice print nail, with a sponged on glitter highlight.

Who are your favourites? Who do you think should've been out? Was Cynthia Lee Fontaine REALLY that basic, wearing a terribly made sweet corset upside down? Did you notice Dax! making an Empire Records quote?

I'm so glad it's back!
