Hi Ugly!
It’s me, Bussy.
And welcome back to Hot or Rot!
My husband just left, so now the fun can start.
Today we’ll be reviewing the Blue Ball from Rupaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 6.
Our queens had to serve three looks on the runway: Blue Betta Work - an homage to all
of our hard laborers out there, Blue Jean Baby - Denim on Denim on Denim.
Denim Denim Denim.
And Blue Ball Bonanza - a look created from random blue materials.
Strap in and strap up.
‘Cause there’s thirty-six looks to go over today.
And then at the end of today’s video we’ll decide: Did the judges get things right?
Now, let’s bust some balls.
First up: She came from the farm, went to the runway, got eliminated and now she’s
here on All Stars 6: it’s Ra’Jah O’Hara.
In her first look, Blue Betta Work, she’s giving us project manager realness.
She’s the big boss.
I love the camp factor of the helmet on the wig of course, and then tucking the baggy
safety pants into her boots.
Honey, that manicure is not laying any concrete tonight.
This look is HOT!
As for her Blue Jean Baby look - I did notice a lot of the queens had some sort of inspiration
from pop stars in this specific category so I’m thinking that may have originally been
part of their prompt.
She is doing what is an homage to Mary J Blige.
She could have told us that she literally stole this out of her closet and I would have
believed her.
I guess you could say it’s a Family Affair.
This look is hot.
And finally; Did someone say judy jetson hooker?
No.
Try John Paul Gaultier.
This is giving me fifth element airline stewardess realness.
This look is incredible.
I love the detail of the extra long sleeves on the little crop top.
Like, you can’t tell me this look did not just come out of paris fashion week.
And made from fold up camping chairs no less?
Coulda ‘folded’ me.
This look is HOT!
Next up: Carpent-her?
I hardly know her.
It’s Kylie Sonique Love.
For her blue betta work look:
blue collar?
Check.
A nod to the capitalist overlords with the all-seeing eye pyramid on her body underneath
that carpenter uniform?
Check.
F[___] gloves?
Check.
Pure 100% unadulterated - or maybe it is - SEX!
Check.
Watch out Jesus.
She’s coming for your gig.
This look is hot.
If that wasn’t enough for you, how about another one?
Her blue jean baby look?
Christina Aguilera dirrty realness?
Okay this is like a trend happening.
We’ve seen a lot of this in pop culture recently and for her to tap into that shows
that she is keeping up with those trends or maybe just forever inspired by the queen.
I’m loving that she is like, one wrong step away on that runway from a double nip slip.
Like, I was sweating watching her come down that runway.
Let me just say that if any queen is ever going to wear jeans on the runway ever again
this is the new standard.
This is Hot!
Her first two looks were killer, but check out the third look.
Her design challenge: The Blue Ball Bonanza look: also a full gag.
I love that she kept a consistent style and sold the vision of who Kylie is throughout
every single look tonight.
This final look is that perfect blend of like, “Hoochie Mama” and pop star diva that
I aspire to, honestly.
Kylie’s a star.
This look is HOT!
Next up: Blue Betta Stop!
It’s Eureka!
For her first look, Eureka is serving crossing guard realness.
And the look itself is untouchable.
The way it fits her body, the detail of the child that’s been like, smashed on her [__].
She’s so fabulous that I would imagine this is a crossing guard that works on fifth avenue
in New York City.
And no, she’s not stopping cars, she’s stopping the unfashionable from entering her
shopping district.
This look is HOT!
As for her Blue Jean Baby look, I’m all shook up and I can’t help but falling in
love.
Something about this is giving me Elvis Presley vibes.
And again with the silhouettes from Eureka tonight, they are incredible.
She looks stunning.
Another HOT look from her.
And for her Blue Ball Bonanza look: she has on the tiniest little dress and skirt and
G-String underneath.
She’s giving me Ariana vibes, toddlers and tiaras all grown up.
I’m astounded at the quality.
Y’all know nothin’s rotting down there ‘cause she is flossing every single day.
This look is HOT!
Next up: I don’t remember seeing Mickey Mouse in the Transformers movie.
It’s Jan!
When she came out in this for her Blue Betta Work runway I was actually so confused by
the Mickey Mouse ears that I had no idea what she supposed to be.
I finally realized that those were tires and the rest of her outfit was also tires.
And I was like: Oh Okay.
So she’s supposed to be like an avant garde mechanic.
I will say: She looks stunning no doubt.
But, something about this just feels like she tried a little too hard in this category.
I think she sort of- took the magic out of being a blue collar worker because it’s
SO fashionable.
I know that’s a weird critique to give, but I’m just not sure it was in the spirit
of what was asked of her.
And while I do think an actual mechanic’s uniform would have played a little bit better
for this specific category, I do still think the look is HOT!
As for her second look, Blue Jean Baby, I struggled a little bit with this one too.
Again, does she look amazing?
Yes.
Drop dead gorgeous for the second time in a row.
But - what is this look?
Like, I’m not sure what the inspiration is or what she was trying to achieve.
I saw a maple leaf in the bottom?
With the star booty thing?
This look is so much fun on its own but I just can’t help but get the feeling she
is in a different runway than everyone else tonight.
But - i will still leave this one with a HOT!
And finally for the look that she created from random blue materials: I do understand
HOW she made the decision to recreate her original ball ball look.
It was blue.
And, this is a blue ball.
But I do not understand WHY she made the decision to recreate that look.
That said, this look is really well done.
It’s technically proficient.
It fits well, the shape and silhouette is amazing.
I’m definitely praising it and giving it a HOT!
But - This set of looks from Jan is making me nervous that she is falling into the trap
of trying to “prove” herself rather than “show” herself.
Next up: It’s time to take the bins out.
It’s Jiggly Caliente.
Her blue betta work look - she says that she is giving “Sanitation Diva”.
I - uh - didn’t totally understand what she was doing at first.
But when she explained it I was like yeah- okay.
I get it.
But, I don’t really think this look was well executed.
It feels a bit piecey for me.
Like, each thing is separate.
The cape, the dress, the hooker boots that don’t match the rest of the outfit.
She’s taking out the trash but I think she forgot to put her outfit in it.
This is a ROT.
For blue jean baby, contrary to the judges, I actually thought this was really cute.
It’s giving me rich girl hits the streets for a day just to like, have fun and be silly
and you know- show that she’s a “real girl”.
I’m also just a [___] for a high waisted bell bottom, though.
This look is HOT!
And, going into the bonanza look, Jiggly was already on thin ice with those first two looks
with the judges.
She had to do something here that was truly a “WOW!”.
And, uh, she sure did.
‘Cause WOW it was bad.
Jiggly!
The thing is - I’m not saying that I could make something better.
I probably couldn’t.
But ma’am, this is a blanket with a hole cut in it that has trash glued to it.
What is this?
If she were trick-or-treating as a ghost, maybe.
But for a ball?
This look is a ROT.
Next up: She needs some milk!
Actually - she has it.
It’s Silky!
Fun fact: My grandpa was actually a milkman for many years.
And now here I am, a lover of man milk.
Isn’t the circle of life beautiful?
I think Silky’s look here is stunning.
And, truly a great choice for her considering she does that whole milk and cookies bit all
the time.
And, she’s always talking about food.
She even had a little youtube cooking show after her run on Drag Race.
However, I’m not totally sure why she chose the color red for this.
Classically a milkman’s uniform is all white.
Because, the danger of spilling milk on your outfit and all?
But I do still think it looks amazing on her.
This look is HOT!
As for her Blue Jean Baby look - she’s in her Joanne era.
Gaga did a had like this back in the 2016 Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
I’m not sure if that’s what this was inspired by, but that’s what I thought of.
All the fringe is beautiful and I think it’s hard to mess up chaps.
And being from Texas myself, cowgirl couture is always going to get a HOT!
From me.
Now, let’s talk about her Blue Ball Bonanza look.
It is ALMOST fashionable.
Like, so close.
The pants she made are incredible.
I think she used a duvet cover for that.
And then the little top really works well with them.
The problem is she kept going after she made those two things.
Like, we just did not need the earmuffs, the cottonballs to look like snow I guess?
The medical gloves, or the giant … christmas box?
Like, what was going on with all that?
As presented, I have to give this a ROT!
But, take all that other junk off and this is a HOT!
Next up: Scarlet Envy!
For her Blue Collar look, she apparently took the Jan approach here going more avant garde
and high fashion.
I do think this was a little more successful though, ‘cause she actually left the collar
around her neck.
That said, I was a little unclear of exactly what job she was supposed to be.
I’m guessing some sort of like, shop worker?
I also love her little reference to Rosie the Riveter with that bandana and hairstyle.
I’m yellin’ TIMBER!
This look is HOT!
For her Blue Jean Baby Look she is giving me…
Blue Jeans, White Shirt.. *burp*..
OOf.
Excuse me.
I ate like an, entire pizza earlier.
And that acid reflux is HITTING!
Anyways, WOW!
WOW!
I love every single aspect of this look.
This look is like an homage to classic American glamour but make it gay.
My favorite detail of this is that wig coming through the hat brim - cause you know what
they say.
The higher your hair the closer to God.
She’s giving me “Flag Destroyer”, socialite hooker realness, Lana Del Gay.
This look is HOT!
And, drumroll please: For her final runway, oh my god!
I almost [__] myself when I saw it.
I forgot for a second that they had to make their looks when I saw this.
Like, she made this in teh same time that Jiggly cut a hole in a blanket and threw it
over her body.
This gown is stunning, and exactly what I want from a ball called “Blue Ball Bonanza”.
And, I’d say she looks rich in this look but we all know she got ROBBED!
This look is HOT!
Next up, A’Keria C. Davenport betta work!
This look - was I think a little bit underappreciated by the judges.
It’s so campy, so fashionable, and just really gorgeous on her.
I’ll be honest, I was a little unsure of exactly what blue collar job she was doing
until she explained it but once she did, I was like - oh yeah.
There’s the welder’s mask.
And there’s the pipe that she got her hand stuck in while she was welding.
I guess all i’m saying is: I don’t understand how they’re gonna rag on her for not clearly
representing a blue collar job when Jan and Scarlet’s looks were also a little more
ambiguous about exactly what it is they were.
This look is HOT!
Literally.
And, as for her Blue Jean Baby look, I’m also a contrarian to the judges here on this.
Oh my god!
Michelle said this looked like a “regular girl” going to the club.
I was like- Ma’am.
Who are your regular girlfriends?
Beyonce herself?
I don’t think so…
This is couture.
It fits her body like a glove and its denim.
The laces going up the sides are so s[___] and so fun and so hot!
And the bantu braids that she’s wearing are actually a reference to Beyonce from Black
is King.
I love this look!
As for her final look, though: I hate to say it but this is dangerously close to Tamisha
Iman’s ball look.
Oh my god…
The meticulously placed cups are what took me there.
Like, that’s the same level of detail and item placement that she used.
However, A’keria actually created a really cool looking dress with a beautiful little
slit in it.
And y’all know I love a nice little slit.
This isn’t my favorite of the ball looks but I definitely do think it’s HOT!
Next Up: Pandora Boxx.
She’s serving us lunch lady realness, one side at a time.
Lunch ladies are truly the unsung heroes of working in schools.
They had to cook all that gross food, and deal with all those grimy little children
spilling and messing things up everywhere and basically got no thanks for it.
And, once she hits the end of the runway she has a reveal which no other queen did for
this category.
Revealing to a 50’s diner waitress glamazon look.
This is definitely HOT!
And, for Blue Jean Baby…
Hellooooo Pandora!
I’ve seriously been so stunned and amazed at everything she’s been pulling out of
her boxx.
This look is no exception; it’s campy, it’s fun..
Glamdiculous and also a great reference.
And normally I am a bit of a size queen but this tiny hat gets a HOT!
From me.
And this final look is also really strong.
The ruffles and silhouette that she created are amazing.
I do think maybe she could have done something a little bit different with the ribbons instead
of just gluing them on- but the final effect of this is really really great.
The way she has that wig styled and the way the dress fits is giving me a little bit of
Helena Bonham Carter styled by Tim Burton for a pageant.
It’s great, and HOT!
Next up: It’s Yara Sofia!
She says she’s giving construction worker realness.
I’m not so sure.
This must be the employee that Ra’Jah is keeping an eye on at the job site, cause I
think the only work she’s getting done is in the back alley.
I mean, this is literally just a safety vest on top of a bikini with hooker boots.
STop relying on that breast plate; this is a ROT!
As for her blue jean baby look.
Okay, on one hand I love this because you can almost see her entire cooter.
And I was like, salivating at the way her abs were shining and glistening- I was like
oh my god how low do those low rises go!?
Mama this look is hot!
I will also say; I don’t think this look was made from denim and I think that was part
of what they were asked to do.
I think what this is- is just like a denim pattern printed onto a silky fabric?
And finally for her Bonanza look: I don’t think this was as bad as the judges were making
it out to be although I will say it’s not amazing.
What she did with the tarp I think required a lot of technical skill but ultimately I
think she used too many different pieces.
Had she also created the corset part of the dress with the same tarp material or vice
versa, this maybe would have worked a lot better because all that stuff on the shoulder
is really dsitracting and the end effect is just like- what’s happening here?
Turns out all that cockiness did not do her any favors.
I’m gonna leave this one at a warming up!
Next up: Blue Betta Crack!
It’s Ginger Minj.
I think it’s really obvious that she was going for plumber realness.
ANd, I of course love the detail of the jeans being too low in the backside.
It’s an uglier but funnier detail not a lot of queens would actually do on the show.
This look is HOT!
As for her Blue Jean Baby look: I’m loving the proportions of the outfit and how it looks
overall.
However, I would loved to have seen a little more detail in the front because the back
and boots are just so rhinestone and glamorous that it makes the front look really plain.
And, that’s what I’m really lookin at most of the time when I’m lookin at her!
But at least it was denim, so I’m gonna leave this at a soft hot!
As for her final look?
Mmmmm…..
I’m not … Mmm..
Ah-
I struggled with this one a lot too.
I don’t know.
No.
I think it’s a no from me.
It’s a ball; it’s supposed to be fun and exciting.
And instead she gave me like, pedestrian rain coat.
Why are you TRYING to stay dry?
Get a little wet.
This look is a ROT!
All things considered, Ginger is not necessarily known for her runways so I’m excited to
see her get a chance to shine in one of the acting challenges coming up in the next couple
of episodes.
Next up: Crossing guard… the shequel!
It’s Trinity K. Bonet!
Gurl…
GURL!
GURL GURL GURL what IS THIS!?!?!?!
I will just straight up say right now that I am nominating this for one of the worst
looks to EVER hit the runway on drag race.
I’m not sure if she was trying to be funny or make this intentionally bad, but it was
very bad.
It’s literally an orange T-Shirt with some Khaki pants and mens’ hiking boots.
Miss Trinity should have stopped herself before she ever hit the runway in that.
This is a ROT!
Thank god she turned things around for her blue jean baby look.
She is giving me 70’s Disco Inferno realness.
But it’s also a little bit understated - which I think is fun.
Like, maybe she’s working in the library but has plans to go out later?
Peace, love and bell bottoms.
This look is HOT!
And for her final look, she proved she does not need a prince.
I think she saved herself with this ball gown.
I honestly think this is incredible.
Stunning.
A true masterpiece on the runway that also told the story and nod to cinderella.
Which, was really fun.
It’s super pageantry, perfect for a ball, and she probably felt right at home making
and walking this on the runway.
I think this look is HOT!
Whew.
That was a lot.
But, now let’s spill some tea.
Did the judges get things right?
I think they had an incredibly tough decision to make this episode because this was maybe
one of the best balls of all time and had some amazing, jaw-dropping, gag-worthy runways.
They put Eureka, Kylie, and Ra’Jah in the top.
Eureka’s three looks were untouchable and they fit her like a glove.
Each one had some ridiculous campy details that kept her looks fun.
I think she had one of the best blue collar looks along with Kylie.
And speaking of the belle of the ball, I think Kylie was consistent, yet versatile in all
of her looks.
I think her Blue Jean Baby look was a standout among the entire cast but her Bonanza look
was slightly weaker than some of her peers like Ra’Jah and Scarlet.
And as for Ra’Jah who ended up taking the win- I think her Blue Collar look was good
but ultimately one of the weaker ones.
And i do think her Bonanza look was incredible, however it was missing that “wow” factor,
the glamour, the sparkle, the shine that I personally love to see in the finale of a
ball.
So I do think that the picked three really great queens for the top three, however, I
would have just made it a top four and thrown Scarlet in there because she deserved some
recognition for those looks.
And, ultimately I think the design challenge should weigh the most here and Scarlet’s
was the only one that had me on the floor gasping for air.
I think it’s pretty crazy seeing the judges paying Scarlet “Sawdust” - two weeks in
a row now.
Which, makes me a little nervous.
If what’s she’s done so far hasn’t impressed them, then what will?
That said, let’s put our producer hats on for just one little tiny second.
If I know that one of these queens has to lip sync to a Janet Jackson song against Brooke
Lynn Heights - who by the way is an amazing lip syncer - and it’s my job to make the
best television possible, I’m definitely gonna choose Ra’Jah O’Hara.
Her win is justifiable, and deserved and I know that Lip Sync is going to be legendary.
Our bottom two are Yara Sofia and Jiggly Caliente.
This absolutely made sense with my “Jantasy”.
They had the worst looks among the group.
The lip sync ends up being a tie and Ru asks both of them to reveal their lipsticks.
They caught me off guard; they both had jiggly on the lipstick.
Of course I was sad to see Jiggly go… but this was a really poor showing of looks from
her.
Especially considering she’s one of the queens on this cast that has had the most
time to grow and practice her sewing skills.
