Drag Race UK Series 8: Bye,Bye, Baby

The insufferable Paris Baby sashayed away. I couldn’t be happier. Spoilt, constantly creating drama, fat -shaming, sulking when critiqued ..and that was just before lunchtime.I get really big female stereotype vibes from her, bordering on internalised misogyny.

She managed to annoy everyone- even ally Naya Thorn- and her looks were basic on the catwalk, regardless of how beautiful she is. There was zero effort in the pink section of the Pig Parade. If anyone epitomises “empty vessels make the most noise” it is she. She reminds me of every spoilt kid at my school. (Pauline, where are you now?!)

There is a distinct difference between throwing shade and insulting people, and sadly, this little diva clearly is unaware of it. Hopefully, she will take the opportunity to learn and grow from the experience, but I won’t hold my breath. Now, the real competition begins.
