Drag Race UK Series 8 – Family Makeover Time

Flesh and Flash crush it in the makeover challenge.

What an emotional week. The family makeover is always heartwarming, regardless of the outcome, as it’s lovely seeing the queens reunited with loving family members, but this was a close call, in terms of styles.

Naya Thorn and her mum as River Thorn were a real standout, with a look inspired by vintage Hollywood, as well as Mocha and her sister as Mocha and Cino, v cute and ‘Hairspray’ I thought. But the ever stunning Flesh and her dad Frank really wowed the judges with their reference to ‘Flash Gordon’. Turns out Ru is a fan too.

So, no dramas this week then, and I for one am glad, as KY picking on Mocha in the week when she was already down was nothing short of bullying, methinks. Play nice, folks. The catfights are getting really tedious, and the crown’s getting ever closer.
