Robin here, and the Drag Haus has begun! I’m going to be Tooting and Booting the looks from this round's runway! Will this cause controversy because I’m a player? Probably, but we all know my feedback. I’m not a judge, so does it really matter? Not really, I just really like looking at outfits and saying things. No tea, no shade, no lady marmalade to my cast because I know you all said mean things to me and I probably agree with it.
Now I’m not going to Toot or Boot my outfit, but I will provide some behind-the-scenes stuff (once results happen) because I also want to showcase my lipsync look too (hopefully I can show it on my own terms)...and maybe I want to redo my outfit with a background that fits the outfit like how the queens do on their socials...but that’s another blog
#DragHausS1 (Lewis I didn’t see one so I just used this :) )

We were tasked to introduce ourselves, so in my mind this is an opportunity to showcase your drag/style. This is a bit hard since it is the first episode and we are all still learning about each other so I probably will be a bit nice on this because it is not a specific theme, but we shall see!
First up Jordan aka Herculena
This is an interesting outfit, very different from the rest of us, BUT I do think it fits who you are and your drag aesthetic, so you are staying true to who you are. Very punk rock vibes, but I do think you could have elevated it a bit more, like drag it up. Maybe a bigger cape, bigger hair, glitter on the body. It just needs a bit more oomph. You could have pushed it a bit more.

Next is ChloeKay aka Jefra Flavorable
This is so cute! You look so yummy, and I know someone wants to eat you up (me). The color choices are perfect, and I think it represents your name very well. My only concern is that the outfit does give a corset with an attachment, BUT I think it fits with what you are doing with the overall look. I feel like if you were lip-syncing in the outfit, you can detach it really easily and start doing some high kicks. The only other nitpicky thing I have is that I wish you had a different pose, maybe bending over or tilted, but I think that is just how I would have done it. Overall, I still love the concept and everything!

Next is Koolness234 aka June Teenth
I love this! This peaches-and-cream combo looks so beautiful on you. The way the flowers (it says roses, but I think they are something else) are placed makes this outfit worth so much (this needs to be a design for you). The parasol is such a great prop, and the dripping flowers are wonderful too. I hope we don’t get a flower theme runway because this would have been such a wonderful use for it. You can read me to filth anytime because this outfit earned that! Now the only thing I did see that was a bit awkward was the weird line on your crotch. It looks dripping and ends with a jewel. It probably looks fine in general, but the pose makes it look a bit unflattering to me.
🌟Toot:🌟 (I want to shoot, but I feel like it is too early)
Next is KaliMinaj aka Kali E’nte
This is an interesting look. I love the overall concept of the art palette thing (I know the thing but the word is a blank and I’m too lazy to Google), but I do think the Kali and DNTM part weakens the look (#DNTM5 is amazing and it is not weak. I love watching while I beat my face and get ready for the runway). I understand that is what you are known for or how you want to express yourself, but I feel like it should be a show-don’t-tell type of thing. You could do that, but find a better approach to it, I guess. Besides that, I really like the look. I do wish you did something more with the makeup to match the vibes of the outfit, maybe a pop of color, but that might be a me thing tbh.

Next is Kimmie aka Kid York
This is so interesting, and I think it's a fun concept that gives me a clear idea of the club kid vibes you bring. It’s giving a mixture of those candy dot things that are on the paper and a weird game of Twister. Everywhere I look, I’m amazed at what you did, and I love the purse. I feel like the bra you had could have been a different color, maybe. Possibly black and without the polka dots. Also, something looks off with the headpiece/hat. It looks flat/2D than the rest of the outfit to me. Comparing it to the rest of the outfit, it just seems out of place, texture-wise. Besides that, great job showcasing who you are in this outfit!
🌟Toot: 🌟
Next is Jane aka Kim Passable
This is nice! Very dark but in a good way. I love the headpiece (or maybe it is a wig, but your head is good), and the figure is amazing. If I saw you in a sketchy alley I think I would be scared but would wait for a while for you to come cause I want to see more. My favorite part is the chest piece. Beautiful, but yet haunting. I do think some details you have I wish you would change, and this is just my thing, to be honest. I would remove the bouquet OR if you kept it, maybe have dead flowers. I like the face makeup, but I wish it were consistent instead of one side one variation and the other something different. I would have done maybe some black with mascara dripping to continue with the chest piece. Finally, I would add longer nails. Overall, though, I really like this!
🌟Toot:🌟
Next is JessieJedi aka Midnight Rose
Normally I wouldn’t comment on the overall photo, but I think the lighting throws things off a bit. Besides that, I think the outfit is fine, but the colors do clash a bit. I see some details get lost in the purple, and I think if you wore, like, maybe black or had some black accents, it would make things pop out more instead of getting lost in all the purple.

Next is SpaceLab aka Mika Moth
Blowing things out of the water! This is really great, especially in the details. I think you did a wonderful job showcasing your drag and adding your personal touch too. My favorite thing is the chokers the sea creatures have and the other attachments. They add this goth element (which I think your drag name of Moth plays with that word, especially with your promo look; I could be wrong, though). Great job!
🌟Toot:🌟
Next is honey aka Miss Behavin
This is nice! Plastic realness and you did a good job with it, especially with the outfit. I love the needles on the glove, and I think it was smart to have the needle in the ass instead of holding it. Brought a nice reveal for sure. Personally, I would change the markings on your leg and words (which I just see LIFT) to a different color to make it stand out more. I would say black. I like the lip purse, and I wonder if that was a choice instead of giving yourself plump lips, because the only thing that doesn’t have any of the “plastic surgery or other cosmetic” is your face, which I think is a fine choice because clearly your face is all natural.

Next is tjamal9106 aka Onyx Royale
I like this. Now this is a corset with lovely attachments to it, but I do think it is styled nicely. I love the beads draping from your body and how the cape flows as you are walking the runway (which I think you are the only person walking...maybe Kim), which heightens the outfit instead of having it flop on the floor. Hair looks great, and I love the shoulder piece you have too. A good outfit pieced together well!
🌟Toot:🌟
Next is Lyanka aka Yuna Noir
Very beautiful and eloquent. I love the draping, and the outfit just looks wonderful on you. I do think you did a different pose because with the color of the outfit blocking your waist, which took me a while to find, I was confused: was it a wide waist or a synced one? So if you opened up the pose, then maybe that wouldn’t be an issue, but that is just me being picky. The outfit is still great though.
🌟Toot:🌟
Finally is Kodua aka Kodua
This is fine. I think it is a me thing, but I’m more of a show-don’t-tell type, so I am not a fan of the tags. The thing is, though, I think they would have worked, but maybe not with the dress...maybe if you were a mannequin with different pieces of clothes and each tag had it on instead of a big dress piece. But show us the body, show us the fashion, show us a clear face card, show us a personality without telling us. I think that would be more appropriate to use (even if it was telling), but it is more fitting for that situation. Plus, if you remove them, you would just have a regular dress that looks like a tear-away into a corset. The hair is nice, and I don’t see the gap tooth, and I really like it from your promo (but that is just a personal note lol). I still like the outfit though.

Will be back once the queens are prepping for the next round (hopefully I’m on that group) to show off some of my behind-the-scenes looks (Audition, Ep 1 in a Different Setting, the Process of It, and My Lip Sync Outfit since we have to provide one just in case).
