Bernie giving half of her prize money when she's saving for the surgery that could potentially preserve her life the way it is now... insane grace. She just became my winner in a single moment. I need her to win and get that treatment.
Speaking of Golden Gays, I can’t help not to share this but one of the ‘most famous’ Golden Gay, i think one of the pioneer too was Walterina Markova whose story as “comfort gay” during the WW2 occupation reached international headlines during the late 90s. Walter Dempster Jr. who went by the name ‘Walterina Markova’ was a gay drag entertainer in Manila who used to perform floorshows in drag during the 1940s and when Japanese occupied the Philippines from 1941-1945. Her story of being caught with her friends for ‘not being real women’ while entertaining soldiers in drag led to some of the horrible tortures and rape by the Japanese soldiers. Markova’s story stood out as a comfort gay while many women became comfort women, those were captured by the Japanese kempeitai and subjected to sex slavery by the Japanese soldiers. Markova’s story was made into a movie called “Markova: The Comfort Gay” and I admired how she remained strong willed to live and survive throughout the years despite her struggles. I believe the movie is in Netflix and published also in RUclips so you can watch it too. It’s an amazing adaptation of her life as a queer person during pre-war, wartime, and post war eras.
The Golden Gays are mostly former performers who live together and take care of each other as their chosen family. During the tenure of Justo Justo (JJ), a member of the Pasay City council, the Golden Gays were assured of financial support and housing. But upon JJ's demise, they lost all that security. Now the Golden Gays have barely enough to make ends meet. From day 1, Precious Paula Nicole has been championing their cause.
love your drph vids! your reacts always seem the most genuine 🥰 on Eva’s comment on the stopover, some of the members of the styling team actually commented on it (spoiler: they did not take it well)
This episode should alwats be done this way. Up the prize money for the winner so everyone gives it their all, and no elimination. Even though yo I don't film a reaction. I hope you watch the untuckeds. This week was really touching.
This episode has had me crying my ugly tears. It was very emotional and heartwarming. I fell more in love with OV than ever before. The compassion, respect, kindness and love she has shown Carmen was beyond. Every Queen deserves praises on how wonderful they were towards the Golden Gays. The only flaw this episode was Transphobic Guest judge Gloria. Your reaction was a thing of beauty. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
The clear bottom was Jade, twin breast concept was creative (although it was already done in a filipino movie) but was not well executed. IDK if it was the styling that made the concept hard to get at first or how they presented in the runway.
lipsync for the win coz it’ll be sad if someone is going home while paying tribute to the goldengays, coz clearly Jade is bottom 2, her concept is not even original and the execution is pretty bad, i love her personality but her performance is not improving

She understands the power of giving to others. It will come back to her. She’s such a sweetheart.
All the girls blowing kisses to the judges, while KatKat and her daughter were shooting them, I can't 😂
This episode + untucked should've come with a warning. I was seriously dehydrated afterwards. Oh the tears!

For once Jade had a bad runway
Yeah it might have been ok for another runway but not this one
