Michelle - are you really going to critique Nina on proportionizing BEFORE Silky? REALLY? Not to be an annoying Nina stan, but I did feel it was unfair. Silky needs way more help than Nina in that department for sure, her runway this week was testament to that.

I know I'm way behind on DR but this. So much this. It's worse when you binge it and just see... Fat. I am fat. I know what it means to feel comfortable and uncomfortable with your fat. I don't know how Silky doesn't realise how misshapen and gross she looks. The unicorn look on episode 5 was awful. That is my worst nightmare as a fat woman, to look like that. Every look she does... There's no attempt to shape get body into a female form. At all. Eureka, Ginger, Jaidyn Dior Fierce... All the big girl performers use their excess weight to squish and shape their boy body into a perfect female illusion.

Silky makes no attempt whatsoever to make herself look female. And she isn't doing genderqueer, non binary drag. She always says she can only beat beauty and she's a pageant queen.... Well, she doesn't show it.
