DNTM Season 2 Photo 9

https://kovaze.com/group_thread/105 Maris: I do like that you took this to the talent show concept. The pose is cool although I feel like we have seen this pose before this season. If this wasnโt a drag theme this photo would be considered better, but because the theme was drag show I would have loved to see this be exaggerated. Peacock, great idea, but the feathers should have been massive and your make up should have been exaggerated to match. I think if these photo was a few weeks ago and matched a theme from then I might have given this top photo, but because this was a drag theme it just doesnโt scream drag enough for me. Jane: I LOVE that you took this theme and made it drag fashion. It is super campy, yet also has some elements of high fashion like the structured neck/shoulder piece and the overall shape of the gown. The oversized props as well are very campy. Now Iโm not in love with this pose or the make up since I donโt think you pushed that as far as it could go, but overall Iโm glad someone took the fashion here. I hope someone called 911 for those fans on the left who are about to get sparks on them. Medusaluh: I do love the gown, and the headpiece was a smart way to get around the no wig rule because what do you mean no wigs in a drag shootโฆ.. You found a good balance between making this still high fashion model while still meeting the drag theme, but I was hoping you would push the theme more extreme. It feels like this would have been your week to win hands down but it is a bit too safe for me to be an outright winner. Sprite: this is giving Milina vibes sort of but without the pink. Other than the eye shadow this doesnโt feel that drag to me. As a photo this is good, you have an interesting pose that draws the eye, your face is strong and you have created a certain movement that I enjoy in print. But the theme of drag requires something a bit more extreme than this. For sure the make up could have been a bit more. The outfit I could see being worn on drag race I guess but since you are posing like this I donโt actually see that much of the outfit. MissKant: This IS obviously more drag. You for sure took it there. I do think you will get knocked points for not having the right setting of your photo, but I enjoy that you took it to an extreme which I think was the point of the drag theme. As I said a head piece is a creative way to get around the no wig rule and also I like how you incorporated your culture/brand into the shoot. It is difficult to recognize that it is you, but some of the styling choices at least give me some hints that its you. KaliMinaj: its hard to top the photo from last week. This week I enjoy the roast theme, and that you chose an outfit that is very drag, yet has elements of high fashion in it. Your feet are pointed to the extreme and I love that. The hair is campy and that checks off another aspect of drag. You also have subtle details in the nails that add to the theme so way to pay attention to small details. I do think this roast theme could have been somehow more incorporated into your pose/face, but I could see this being a still taken from your set. Akaliuchis: I do like that you have exaggerated elements like the big back of the gown, pushed up girlies to the max, and the make up is pretty good. The wine pour is a good idea, but we have seen it done on drag race before so you lose points for creativity but gain them for paying homage to the queens that came before you. The details on the faces I the background are enjoyable. Manyomash: I do think you give drag in this photo so that is good. Some girls did not push the theme far enough and I think you did a good job on that part. You unfortunately have a few small issues in your execution that are taking away from the strength of the photo for me. Your wings are kinda coming out of your buttโฆ.. I guess maybe you are shedding your wings? Idk but to me they should be placed higher up. The giant 10 sign pulls focus a bit from you. I also think a cooler tone light might have been better here to not wash you out. The hands are actually amazing I do enjoy that detail. I am having a hard time ranking photos this time. So instead I will just say this: I think Kali, Medusa, Jane, and Akaliuchis are probably safe. I think Misskant comes down to how hard the judges hit the photo for not matching the location theme, and the rest I think are at risk of bottom 2 mostly for not pushing the drag theme far enough.
