Episode 1 is done and Episode 2 is currently filming. While waiting for the results for that, let's go Behind the Haus of my looks from the first episode. #DragHausS1 Audition Look: I wanted to go with a campy look because I would consider myself a campy queen who thinks outside of the box, breaks the box, and maybe wears the box because this economy is too dam much. So I thought, hmmm, campy queen, how about something with an actual camp???? So the top part is a scout's uniform, and the bottom part is a campfire flame to keep things warm. Initially, I had like a pioneer-style dress (where you couldn't see my feet), and you could see logs, but I didn't like it, so I removed it and let my legs be free. Promo Look: When I found out that we could change our audition look for the promo, I thought, let's do something that would be for my entrance, and I wanted to do something that fits my name, which is a pun to (A Lot Of Diamonds...just say A'Lana fast). So I needed to have A LOT of diamonds on me. I was inspired by Vanessa Vanjie's Horoscope Runway from S11, so I used that as the base and edited from there, especially with the headpiece. I do wish the diamonds in the bowls were more diamond-shaped, but I think they are more heart-shaped. There is the typical look of them (like this ❤️), but in reality, a heart doesn't look like that, and the same goes for a diamond. If I redid the outfit, I would do like a Vegas Showgirl style but still dripping with diamonds. Runway Look: Express Yourself: This was a process. Going with the camp, thinking outside of the box. I thought since this was the first episode and nothing to base things on, I thought about a celebration, so why not New Year's? Initially, I wanted to turn myself into the ball drop tower that NYC does every year, with me being the building and my hair being curly (aka the ball), and then having confetti shooting out (similar to Symone's Till the World End Reveal). It just didn't work out in some variations, so I just put balls on my shoulders and did the pop there. I still wanted the other elements, though. I wanted to show glamour but also be the life of the party, like, who is that girl with the blasting shoulders? Well, that's me! Well, it was good enough to be safe :). So that is what I did for this episode. I was going to cover my lip-sync outfit, but I am tired, so maybe another time (maybe Ep 2). Will be back for Fashion Photo Robiview (FPR) for Episode 2, where the players have to create an outfit out of recycled materials!
