Did you know that once she has done a makeup look, she’ll never repeat it? She literally never repeats a makeup look and does a different look every time.
kahalalineke, he is. At 6'3" he's one of the tallest (same height as Naomi Smalls) and nears 7' in certain heels, though (bless his heart) he still can't walk in them XD edit: Bob the Drag Queen is also apparently 6'3" like Naomi & Kim. Plenty of pics can be found online of Kim and Naomi standing together out of drag, and they're roughly the same height. Kim is much thicker in body, which can be deceiving when estimating height, especially without something around to provide perspective. As of this date I believe Tempest DuJour is the tallest at 6'7 (RuPaul is 6'4") with Milk and Latrice tied for second at 6'5", though that does not include season 10 queens.
I'm so glad that Kim Chi acknowledged the beauty in fame's ugliest dress look. I thought the color and silhouette was just beautiful and I couldn't believe that she thought that was ugly...
Miss Fame had the dress that was worn by one of the "Ugly Stepsisters" in a Met Opera production of Cinderella. Technically, it was made to be "ugly" for the character, but of course it's beautifully made, so the judges didn't understand it.
That dress looks like tin foil and a tent had a love child then inflated it hopes it would die but when it survived they just said fuck it I guess we keep the ugly little bastard.
Update: Kim Chi's mother knows that she does drag. She found out by googleing 'Kim Chi' based on the email address she got from her. After a conversation and Kim Chi revealing how successful and wealthy she is, her mother reveaks that she is supportive of this career, though drag culture in general is completely new to her.
@@gengarcrobat1576 it's totally understandable. From what Kim Chi explained, her mom is a typical asian parent who wants her child to have a stable position in society, and when you know nothing about drag, you might think my kid is just fooling around and losing his time instead of finding a real job. So yeah, the reassurance that it's a full-time job and that he can support himself well doing that makes it easier to accept and support, even if you don't really understand it.
@@yokubo7220 Yeah, but what I meant is that Kim's mom probably wouldn't like it if Kim wasn't celebrated for what she does and making as much money as she makes. She doesn't exactly make a fortune either anyways. Would her mom accept her as a drag queen if she never went on drag race?
I agree but also Naomi smalls was also super impressive and everyone the person above me said. Also unpopular opinion but I thought all of pearls looks stayed too
didn't say you were, but i disagree. Detox look was better by far - yes, I know it was not all her work or done under constraints of the competition. Conceptually it shits over Bianca's look. Even in Bianca's season Courtney's B&W Klaus Nomi was far better (being Courtney's few good looks). Anyways we can all agree to disagree to the cows come home.
I really hope her not being out to her family has nothing to do with her not winning. Many many people in the LGBT+ community aren't completely out and it shouldn't diminish what they do.
It probably does. I really believe that Kim Chi saying, "my mom doesn't know I do drag" is what damned him in the end and kept him from winning. Why? Because his explanation had an element of shame to it. He basically said that he already disappointed her by being gay and didn't want to disappoint her again by being a drag queen. Yes, some of the queens weren't out to their parents, like Jaidynn et al, but they didn't even get close to winning. Becoming The Next Drag Superstar makes you a highly public figure, meaning eventually your parents will find out, likely from friends, coworkers, or neighbors, and if that blew up Kim Chi's life it would affect his reign as TNDS. At worst it might affect his mental health and he might go on hiatus or fail to fulfill his duties as TNDS. *TL;DR: For me, it wasn't 100% that Kim Chi said, "my mom doesn't know", it was the shame with which he spoke about not telling his mom, like it was something he had to hide out of self-preservation and to "spare her". If you're TNDS, drag is what you DO, what you LOVE, what you wouldn't want to give up, not what you hide.*
the fact you said ALL OF VOILETS LOOK i praise you.. You done a fair and just and iconic list and you did not hold back on WHAT YOU WANTED TO PICK!! Meowwwwww xD
Top 10: 1.Violet's tarten reveal 2.Violet's jetset look 3.Violet's death becomes her 4.Violet's leather and lace look 5.Violet's spring look 6.Violet's hello kitty look 7.Violet's top 4 look 8.Violet's bearded lady look 9.VIOLET' CROWNING LOOK 10.VIOLET'S SEASON 8 CROWNING LOOK WAS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO RPDR
I did not like the bearded lady at all. And I liked Pearl's Hello Kitty outfit better than Violet's. It was so minimal and yet elegant. The rest was amazing though
Violet's hello kitty was better for me because there were more attention to details put into it and it is more conceptual for me. Her bearded look was amazing too
@@remuslupin1074 can you explain me what was so beautiful about the bearded look? To me the hair looks unnatural and the beard was just too much :( it ruined the shape of her face :( the dress was beautiful. I am open to other points of view
Agreed! I'm still kinda pissed she was in the bottom two that episode, I think Joslyn Fox deserved to be there more than she did. On the bright side, that lipsync between Adore and Trinity is easily one of the best in Drag Race herstory so that kinda compensates I guess :p
Omg! I was thinking the SAME thing!!! And yes, what a shame to be sent home in that look! I really liked so many of those queens, I was sad to see anybody go, except Darien Lake.
+David Monrreal Oh please, come on! You don't need to hate on Bob that much. - Bob's entrance look was super clever. - In the first challenge, her Gone with the Window look, while not being crazy and outrageous as some of the other queens' look, it was super polish and well tailored and well put together. Raja and Violet (the 2 fashion queens) pick it as the winner for the first challenge, in their reaction video to episode 1 of season 8 (on RuPaul's Drag Race HD channel, check it out). - The amazing black and white look - ANd the Book Ball look was really nice too..
It wasn't a Buddha look, more like a Hindu look. Blue is really common in the Hindu religion and the outfit also looked like Krishna, which is one of the gods. (If you didn't know) I respect your opinion but I'm also disagreeing with you.
Violet's s8 finale is top tier. I can't think of a better outfit I've seen especially not on drag race. If something tops it I'll be so shook. Whatever that look is will be too powerful for this world lol
I don't think liking Miss Fame's ugliest dress outfit is controversial. most people like that dress. that's literally why she got eliminated. her idea of "ugly" was still fashionable and pretty.
I LOVED your Hanbok look! I love watching Kpop idols get dressed up every year in their hanbok's so it was really nice of you to showcase your culture that way.
I think the look I love most is Kim Chi's mom look, by the looks of the outfit I feel like she had put a ton of work into the thought of her outfit, plus the makeup was just very outstanding and glowed captivating beauty.
This was SO entertaining to watch! I love how she really showcased how talented and amazing the contestants on RPRD are as well as reminding us of their incredible past looks. Kimchi was also funny without being forced. A+ video.
My favorite look was also the look Violet wore on the finale of season 8. The dress was gorgeous... The insects... The prosthetics of the crown literally growing out her skull... I was thoroughly GAGGED.
I am so happy Kim pointed out Sharon's LEGENDARY groundbreaking mold-shattering horror look.. I remember very well how stunned Michelle and Ru were. LOve her or hate her, Sharon opened the doors to a lot of aspiring queens. Im guessing Party City appreciated teh sudden surge in online searches and sales also. Bwahahahaha!
I became so obsessed with Kim Chi during the last season, and somehow this makes me love her more. I love how she talks about liking different silhouettes and how fashion can be everything, and that it's more about having a vision and well executed concept than it is about sticking to one "Correct" kind of look. Keep slaying my life Kim Chi.
this started with the ones everyone agrees on and i thought it was gonna all be predictable, but then she went off on some underrated looks that i had forgotten about and reminded me how good they are. kind of surprised there was no Nina Flowers though, she had some loooooks on season one.
Now, I neeeeeeed an update of a video like this!! Pleaseeee! There are other looks from Sasha, Valentina, Aquaria, Kameron, Trinity, Manila, Naomi, Brooke, etc that might make it.
Kim Chi, I love you. I love how diplomatic and informed your reviews (and even your interactions with other contestants!) are. You manage to say exactly how you feel but are still empathetic and contextualize other's experiences, you've obviously done your homework and you give feedback and insight like no one else I've ever seen talk about capital F Fashion on TV. Also, as a giant pear-shaped woman trying to bring empire waists back since 2002... PREACH
I think the performance aspect of that outfit is what sold it. Not that it's bad. The whole look is very aerodynamic and works well to highlight the main feature (the wings). But the performance of the look is more stunning than the fashion of the look.
At the time it was iconic. Something like that had never been seen before, a mechanized outfit on that scale. I don't think Shane gets the credit he deserves because she a person who lives in the in between and is one with his female persona. Courtney is like a real person and not just a performance character.
I wore an outfit that had all of these battery operated birds on it flapping their wings. Once, after a club burned down, I showed up to another club looking like I had just escaped the fire. The hard part was keeping the bowl of dry ice secured in my wig, so that I was smoking.
***** This was back in the olden days when you had to carry a camera in your purse, take the film down to the drug store, get it developed, scan the photo, dial AOL on your 14.4k modem, and then wait 20 minutes while it uploaded.
+Alexander Svedberg true and even, her "iconic" scarecrow look was basic and she copied the silouette later on in another look. I think of Naomi's legs or her walk but her clothing doesn't stick out in my mind! Sorry bout it
+Gabriel Trevino not really. Doesn't stand out amongst all looks of all the seasons. Her delivery of that look was good but picked apart it is rather basic
I’ll never be over the fact that Raja and Raven booted Kim’s Mom look on FPR. That outfit was GORGEOUS and so well made, and I totally agree with Kim’s comments about people not being open to more varied styles of drag. I loved that she kept bringing in more eastern inspired concepts and silhouettes, I wish they’d been better received bc they were brilliant
i love that raja's marie antoniette look! it was my favorite until kimchi came out on the runway looking like a flower made out of paper, it blew me away!
No one mentions Trinity K Bonets runway for the whole season really. But my favourite was her runway for "O No She Betta Don't" episode. WITH HER LONG AS WEAVEE
My favorite runway look is definitely Violet Chachki's beard look because the dress was just so gorgeous and I didn't even remember that there was a beard on her because the dress was so pretty. And I also love her entering in the werkroom look on episode 1.
Honestly I get misty eyed when I see her mom look. The solemn expression and the way she walks and those long long nails tell such a distinct story of how she sees her mom, and it's so beautiful.
I love that Kim Chi points out every little thing about the looks. She would be a great guest judge on drag race.
Or at least on fashion photo ruview!!
Calm down hon
Weird Guy q
Yeah no.
Did you know that once she has done a makeup look, she’ll never repeat it? She literally never repeats a makeup look and does a different look every time.
kim chi is so cute I sometimes forget he's a 6'4 grown man...
London Paige same
London Paige Asians are normally quite short too
He's not that tall.
crazzi-j north Not Koreans.
kahalalineke, he is. At 6'3" he's one of the tallest (same height as Naomi Smalls) and nears 7' in certain heels, though (bless his heart) he still can't walk in them XD
edit: Bob the Drag Queen is also apparently 6'3" like Naomi & Kim.
Plenty of pics can be found online of Kim and Naomi standing together out of drag, and they're roughly the same height. Kim is much thicker in body, which can be deceiving when estimating height, especially without something around to provide perspective.
As of this date I believe Tempest DuJour is the tallest at 6'7 (RuPaul is 6'4") with Milk and Latrice tied for second at 6'5", though that does not include season 10 queens.
I'm still gagging over Violet's finale look
tre artis it’s 2019 and I’m still gagging
She is Perfection
It’s 2069 and I’m still gagging
I'm still so angry at the fact that I didn't see it live.
It’s 2021 and I’m still gagging over violets look 😍😍
I'm so glad that Kim Chi acknowledged the beauty in fame's ugliest dress look. I thought the color and silhouette was just beautiful and I couldn't believe that she thought that was ugly...

That Weird Kid I thought it was horrible. Still can't believe someone thought that's pretty
That dress is fucking ugly, it looks like the tin foil from those popcorns
That dress looks like tin foil and a tent had a love child then inflated it hopes it would die but when it survived they just said fuck it I guess we keep the ugly little bastard.
That Weird Kid e
Update: Kim Chi's mother knows that she does drag. She found out by googleing 'Kim Chi' based on the email address she got from her. After a conversation and Kim Chi revealing how successful and wealthy she is, her mother reveaks that she is supportive of this career, though drag culture in general is completely new to her.
too bad though that she might've only accepted Kim because everybody loves her and she's made so much money

Gengar Crobat what’s the point of asking these questions other than to try to make Kim’s mom out to be a villain?
@@razrv3lc I'm not. I don't think she's a villain. When did I say that?
"And I went out looking like a foot." Oh my god meee
I think it's safe to say kimchi is the cutest drag racer
Besides Bianca
and from the love of Judge Judy "Baloney, sir" - Bianca Del Rio
yes! And also Max Malanaphy
her and jinkx
And Tatiana too
I think It's obvious and safe to say that Violet Chachki is the most fashion and glamorous queen that has ever been on drag race
I would put a three way tie between Violet, Raja and Kim Chi herself.
But everone has their favorites
I agree but also Naomi smalls was also super impressive and everyone the person above me said. Also unpopular opinion but I thought all of pearls looks stayed too
Lucas Miranda I agree with Raja, she, Violet and Naomi are my all time favorite queens of all seasons
Katie Cook Agree! I think it's kinda obvious that I love Naomi due to my profile pic
I would say Raja is, but Violet is definitely the second choice
Bianca's Black and White Gown was impeccable!
Right, her best look by far. I love her cheetah look, but the black and white was marvelous.
Yes bianca is my #1 queen of all time but im surprised seeing her cheetah
Detox's was better, Bianca's may have been impeccable, but Detox's was impecable and inspirational.
+abacus912 I'm not saying that Detox was bad, I am just saying that Bianca was better.

"her waist is smaller than my head" hahaha she is so funny
I wanna see Violet Chachki's favourite looks!
I demand this be a series
I'm still waiting for this.
We're waiting for this
When is this happening
She would just list all of her looks 😂😂😂
still waiting
"Stop asking me if my mom knows I do drag because she doesn't"
"...Really?"
That was what cost her the win. Sad that she can't be open with her family. I hope that changes someday, and her family supports her.
I really hope her not being out to her family has nothing to do with her not winning. Many many people in the LGBT+ community aren't completely out and it shouldn't diminish what they do.

Candice ecidnaC wow, that’s really sad :( poor Kim
Is he gay?
THANK YOU KIM CHI FOR RECOGNIZING THE FASHION ICON CALLED VIOLET CHACHKI
Real recognise real
Violet is a bitch but damn she's a fucking G when it comes to fashion and her looks.
+Lorem Ipsum how can you call someone a bitch ? Have some respect . There's no need for that language .
Finally someone gave her credit where its due!
I AGREEE I LIVE FOR VIOLET
the fact you said ALL OF VOILETS LOOK i praise you.. You done a fair and just and iconic list and you did not hold back on WHAT YOU WANTED TO PICK!! Meowwwwww xD

6.Violet's hello kitty look

@@icydelight3693 same sentiments. I'm also in back and forth with the bearded look of Violet.
@@icydelight3693 Look up Mathu Andersen in drag, I think that was her inspiration in her bearded look. Unmatched colour of beard.
I agree, have to say Violet's outfit of the season finale this year is the most beautiful, more than words could describe.
Kim is Violet's #1 fan and it's adorable.
So you don't know me.
I need to see Kim Chi's worst 18 looks cos I'm a bitch like that
You know as hell that that list is gonna be filled with Darienne Lake
+Diesxbs Kelly Mantle's bacon
+Grey D Magnolia's bovine design and jiggly's hot potato realness.
Shady B!tch Why do they even audition if they know they can't sew or design a gown for shit.
+Grey D Cos they all see how successful Shangela became after her season and that bitch couldn't sew a stitch.
Ok but Trinity K Bonet's animal runway look was incredible. Simply jaw droppingly beautiful
Agreed! I'm still kinda pissed she was in the bottom two that episode, I think Joslyn Fox deserved to be there more than she did. On the bright side, that lipsync between Adore and Trinity is easily one of the best in Drag Race herstory so that kinda compensates I guess :p
Really most if not all Trinity's looks are so outstandingly beautiful I'm suprised she didn't even mention one.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm surprised she didn't mention it
Omg! I was thinking the SAME thing!!! And yes, what a shame to be sent home in that look! I really liked so many of those queens, I was sad to see anybody go, except Darien Lake.
YEsssss!!!
Kim Chi is just so freaking adorkable!
Please do the worst looks next!
All of Bob The Drag Queen's looks except for the black & white runway look.
+David Monrreal omg yes
+David Monrreal I was obsessed with like all of Bob's looks
+Mateo Helado her "paper" look was not good. That's why it was in the bottom. It reminded me of a brisk tea can.
+David Monrreal
Oh please, come on! You don't need to hate on Bob that much.
- Bob's entrance look was super clever.
- In the first challenge, her Gone with the Window look, while not being crazy and outrageous as some of the other queens' look, it was super polish and well tailored and well put together. Raja and Violet (the 2 fashion queens) pick it as the winner for the first challenge, in their reaction video to episode 1 of season 8 (on RuPaul's Drag Race HD channel, check it out).
- The amazing black and white look
- ANd the Book Ball look was really nice too..
Trinity K Bonet's bird outfit that she was eliminated in and Raja's Buddha outfit from the finale
OMG Yas Trinitys bird look is one of my favourites
RAJA'S BLUE DEITY LOOK OMG YES, I'm glad someone mentioned it. IMO it was far better than Detox's. :\
Raja was more like Krishna, not Buddha, but yes, that look was breath-taking
It wasn't a Buddha look, more like a Hindu look. Blue is really common in the Hindu religion and the outfit also looked like Krishna, which is one of the gods. (If you didn't know) I respect your opinion but I'm also disagreeing with you.
i agree about miss fame look , that was AMAZING and in no way ugly
I guess that's why she left that day haha, the challenge was 'ugliest dress'
every single thing Violet does is a blessing
Violet's s8 finale is top tier. I can't think of a better outfit I've seen especially not on drag race. If something tops it I'll be so shook. Whatever that look is will be too powerful for this world lol
"Up next is..All if Violet Chachki looks!" You and me both girl, you and me both.
Kim obsessing over Violet's look for the season 8 finale was me too - I literally got chills when she came out. Also, Kim is so adorable.
Kim Chi is a true artist and she acknowledges artistic concept in every outfit. Is like she can see more than anyone else.
Miss Fame being too pretty and polished to be ugly is iconic
omg this was so cute
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS IM STILL OBSESSED WITH PEARL'S LOOK ITS SO GOOD
Can we talk about how pissed we are that Kim didn't win
Not me. Can't give the crown to a closeted drag queen.
why
Max Robertson why not?
I am more sad...I wish that Kim had owned the stage the way Violet did. She had so beautiful outfits, but trouble to sell them the way she should.
i like all 3 of the top 3s, but tbh i was hoping naomi smalls to win :P
Violet fucking WON and she's still underappreciated. Her looks literally give me life.
Kim chi speaks so eloquently and showcases her creative knowledge. Her commentary needs to be recognised by the fashion industry!
YAS miss fame's "ugly dress" was SO beautiful!! the silhouette, the colors, it's really my style ToT
Girl we need you in a weekly show or something because you give me LIFE!!
Wish came thru!! MUG!!
Can Kim and Naomi have Thier own show plzzzz?
Or les chicken wings altogether
Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
yes!!!!!!!
It appears that your wish has been granted, haha
Yesssssssssss
The most underrated runway look ever is Katya’s leather and lace look
come over here i got something to show ya
Adores crystal extravaganza outfit was amazing
Alex Walsh I agree with Courtney.
I don't think liking Miss Fame's ugliest dress outfit is controversial. most people like that dress. that's literally why she got eliminated. her idea of "ugly" was still fashionable and pretty.
Omfg I'm still not over Violets crowning look. One of my absolute favorite winners!
I LOVED your Hanbok look! I love watching Kpop idols get dressed up every year in their hanbok's so it was really nice of you to showcase your culture that way.
I think the look I love most is Kim Chi's mom look, by the looks of the outfit I feel like she had put a ton of work into the thought of her outfit, plus the makeup was just very outstanding and glowed captivating beauty.
“I went out looking like a foot”
If that ain’t me every Saturday evening when I go out. 😂 Why did Kim have to call me out like that?
no but violet actually never looked bad! every single one of her runway looks were amazing and i was like YESSSSSS BIITCCHHHG!
No matter which second you pause it at on Bianca's cheetah look, you can tell straight away that she's pleased with herself and feeeeeling it!
anyone else feel like wow said "ok Kim you didn't win but we will still make you in every youtube video and you're still famous."
Blue_Part_Here_Is_The oh ok thanks that makes sense
Blue_Part_Here_Is_The lol they do look tired now i know
ngl Kim is more relevant than Bob.
sorry bout it
CYBER FAGGOT they both are relevant bob has had like three songs out
+Daniel DeMartis really ? didn't even know that lol
YES i'm so glad April Carrion was in this! that look with the umbrella gets me every time, it's gorgeous
OMG I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED THIS UNTIL NOW
This was SO entertaining to watch! I love how she really showcased how talented and amazing the contestants on RPRD are as well as reminding us of their incredible past looks. Kimchi was also funny without being forced. A+ video.
My favorite look was also the look Violet wore on the finale of season 8. The dress was gorgeous... The insects... The prosthetics of the crown literally growing out her skull... I was thoroughly GAGGED.

LOve her or hate her, Sharon opened the doors to a lot of aspiring queens. Im guessing Party City appreciated teh sudden surge in online searches and sales also. Bwahahahaha!
Kim Chi your hand picked looks were spot on. You,Raja and Violet are Drag Race icons.
Kim's look for the mom challenge was absolutely beautiful.
mad that yara sofia isn't in this but overall great selection
Same but these were still all amazing
Personal favorites and all, so....
I became so obsessed with Kim Chi during the last season, and somehow this makes me love her more. I love how she talks about liking different silhouettes and how fashion can be everything, and that it's more about having a vision and well executed concept than it is about sticking to one "Correct" kind of look. Keep slaying my life Kim Chi.
i agree with all of these, especially detox's black and white. I was awestruck by that.
OMGGG MORE KIMCHI EPISODES PLZZZZZ
Yes!!! Kim give Trixie's bearded runway look the attention it deserves! So iconic
I could listen to Kim talk fashion for HOURS! Give that girl a show stat!
this started with the ones everyone agrees on and i thought it was gonna all be predictable, but then she went off on some underrated looks that i had forgotten about and reminded me how good they are. kind of surprised there was no Nina Flowers though, she had some loooooks on season one.
YESSSSS someone else loved Trixie's bearded look too
Now, I neeeeeeed an update of a video like this!! Pleaseeee! There are other looks from Sasha, Valentina, Aquaria, Kameron, Trinity, Manila, Naomi, Brooke, etc that might make it.
Kim Chi, I love you. I love how diplomatic and informed your reviews (and even your interactions with other contestants!) are. You manage to say exactly how you feel but are still empathetic and contextualize other's experiences, you've obviously done your homework and you give feedback and insight like no one else I've ever seen talk about capital F Fashion on TV. Also, as a giant pear-shaped woman trying to bring empire waists back since 2002... PREACH
This was excellent. I would REALLY love to hear from more from Kim Chi and her opinions.
VIOLET CHACHKI'S FINALE LOOK WILL FOREVER BE ICONIC. COME THROOOUUUUUGHH MAMA
Violets looks slayed me so glad Kim mentioned her .
I would also add Courtney Act angel wings runway look
I think the performance aspect of that outfit is what sold it. Not that it's bad. The whole look is very aerodynamic and works well to highlight the main feature (the wings). But the performance of the look is more stunning than the fashion of the look.
At the time it was iconic. Something like that had never been seen before, a mechanized outfit on that scale. I don't think Shane gets the credit he deserves because she a person who lives in the in between and is one with his female persona. Courtney is like a real person and not just a performance character.
So nice to see something from Kimchi
And Violet's crowning look genuinely made me gasp and get breathless when I first saw it watching that episode ughhh
I wore an outfit that had all of these battery operated birds on it flapping their wings. Once, after a club burned down, I showed up to another club looking like I had just escaped the fire. The hard part was keeping the bowl of dry ice secured in my wig, so that I was smoking.
stephanie cohen
I'm so glad. I really like the part where you accused me of lying.
woah that sounds awesome!!!
Do you have an Instagram? I would love to see these sickening looks 😍

This was back in the olden days when you had to carry a camera in your purse, take the film down to the drug store, get it developed, scan the photo, dial AOL on your 14.4k modem, and then wait 20 minutes while it uploaded.
I love how Kim Chi's videos really have some seriously professional and helpful critique - with a sassy edge.
I want Kim chi to review all of Gigi’s looks this season
I really loved this video. I felt that Kim offered more depth than is usual, and more appreciation of unusual looks.
Omg, I still get chills watching your hanbok look, Kim Chi. *o*
Kim is so knowledgeable.
That Raja's look is still my favorite ~
I love love love Kim Chi’s subtle humor and sense of style. 🥰❤️
Hello??kim chi doesn’t have a bad look too gurl !She rocked every runway to avoid lip sync hahha
Omg 💀😂 That part had me dead "Stop asking me if my mom knows that I do drag because she doesn't." "... Really?" "Yeah."
Jinx's Dia de los Muertos look is my fave.
+Sam Rivera this comment is killing me!!
Well is her interpretation of day of the death, was cute as Frida Kahlo's realness from Thorgy in season 8
+Sandra Vargas thorgy had like .0183619472 seconds to put that look together, and it was even better executed than Jinxk's mess, sorry, I love her.
I love both, but that Jinkx's look isn't my favourite by far XD, but I took like a joke...
Yes WOW! Please do more queen fave videos like this one.
Also, seeing Kim Chi gives me life.
No Naomi? Shaaaaaaade...
The scarecrow look was I-CON-IC. Should've been in this
Her best look was the scarecrow look. Made by herself......
Who?
+Alexander Svedberg true and even, her "iconic" scarecrow look was basic and she copied the silouette later on in another look. I think of Naomi's legs or her walk but her clothing doesn't stick out in my mind! Sorry bout it
+Gabriel Trevino not really. Doesn't stand out amongst all looks of all the seasons. Her delivery of that look was good but picked apart it is rather basic
I loved, absolutely LOVED miss fame’s green gown with the turtel neck, the short sleves and the gloves, STUNNING
"As your resident ESL Asian queen"
DEAD. I. AM. DEAD.
This was probably my favorite intro of any WOW video. pure adorable Kim Chi all over my screen? Yes Mary.
YAY MORE KIM CHI
Omg! I agree with you on Violet’s runway looks! She’s really rockin’ anything she wears!
Can Kim get a show of her own here?
I’ll never be over the fact that Raja and Raven booted Kim’s Mom look on FPR. That outfit was GORGEOUS and so well made, and I totally agree with Kim’s comments about people not being open to more varied styles of drag. I loved that she kept bringing in more eastern inspired concepts and silhouettes, I wish they’d been better received bc they were brilliant
i love that raja's marie antoniette look! it was my favorite until kimchi came out on the runway looking like a flower made out of paper, it blew me away!
Pearl's look from the first episode with the headphones was awesome.
No one mentions Trinity K Bonets runway for the whole season really. But my favourite was her runway for "O No She Betta Don't" episode. WITH HER LONG AS WEAVEE
Kim so graceful, modest and funny...one of my faves for sure❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kim was my favorite of all times
My favorite runway look is definitely Violet Chachki's beard look because the dress was just so gorgeous and I didn't even remember that there was a beard on her because the dress was so pretty. And I also love her entering in the werkroom look on episode 1.
Honestly reunion looks are some of the most iconic looks
Honestly I get misty eyed when I see her mom look. The solemn expression and the way she walks and those long long nails tell such a distinct story of how she sees her mom, and it's so beautiful.
After season 12, rupaul should do a race with the winners from the past seaons
"Her waist is smaller than my head, which is about 24 inches." CRACKED ME UP SO HARD. I love kimchi!! She is so funny and cute gah!!
