Race Chaser with Alaska & Willam

Half the queens show off their talents, half the queens sit in judgement and rate them, and all of them walk the runway in one of the most forgiving fabrics. Alaska and Willam discuss finger waves versus finger blasting, conceptualizing a look while doing mushrooms in Hawaii on Thanksgiving, and why no human...

From sheep, to color blocked cover-ups, to vampire incest, the queens aim to show off that Drag Family Resemblance on the runway for the judges.

No panties, tiny top hat, oversized money bag, aluminum foil insert, and so many other issues. Alaska and Will...
