    she may be one of the underrated winner of drag race but the way she chose to use her platform to elevate the art of drag by actually giving back platforms for other drag artists and not to mention how educational she is whenever she's on camera is just so special and dare i say, beyond what the other winners did.

    Nightgowns is such a heartwarming experience because you can see that it was crafted for the people to know it was a craft. It is like art saying "this is art". And it so brilliant and shows so much of the community that we do not see in the mainstream media. And I totally agree with Sasha: after you go out of the rules you accepted for yourself, you start seeing that not all of that matters. You can be so much more.

    im so sick of the shea was robbed she was the winner blablabla then the sympathy story about the rose petals on all stars. I like shea. She was amazing on season 9 and good on all stars but sasha was amazing on season 9. sasha slayed. always at the nop never in the bottom. She was kinda low on the 9021ho episode but she still wasnt bad. She was good in snatch game and all the challenges. sasha is so smart and that showed on her runways and how she performed. Shes so nice and funny and original. SO glad she won. been a fan since.
