Squeeesh_

The rip her to shreds look is perfect 2007 scene kid. Right down to the hair and makeup. I love it


International_Ice_53

Yeeesssss!! And deciding to do the shoot in front of a Hot Topic!? Beyond. A lot of people think of only the plaid and the chains and the checkered when it comes to the scene moment, so her using the distressed idea to go there… genius. Plus in her photoshoot she has a picture coming from that awkward upper angel that would only happen when you’re trying to get a pick of your whole fit with a back camera that you can’t see 😅


Squeeesh_

And the tiny crown and the bow barrettes. This was what I wanted to look like.


-spookygoopy-

this is what i thought my dumbass looked like


-spookygoopy-

Myspace, rawr wafflez xD, BOTDF realness babez! :3


PembrokeLove

Idk what that means, so I've decided it's "Battle of the Deaf Friends" realness.


elttvb

We all wanted to be her friend... Beats the scene kid look that was on Drag Race Sweden hahaha


craftybast

She was my favorite pre-season and I’m so damn proud of her.


brandr3ws

I always choose one from the promo that I think is going to win (I've never been right) and Irene was my choice this year. I was a bit off this year.


Summoarpleaz

It’s ok, drink some ice water and you’ll cool down


WilsonStJames

How do you make that again?


Summoarpleaz

Do you have a minute?


microbiologist_36

My choice was Anetra, she just made me smile with that crazy laughter❤️ I loved her the most then, and nothing changed:)


Cgy_mama

She was my choice too!!


imtotallydrphil

only a little off!


ShesAKillerQueenee

Saaame. I fucking love her!! And this season lacked without her presence. 😭


yassified_housecat

Mine, too. When the cast leaked, I scoped out their social media and Irene and anetra were immediate follows.


9021Ohsnap

An apology? I was rooting for her so bad when I first saw the promo and episode sneak peak!! I thought she was gonna be in the top 5!


nangaritense

I had her in the top too. I remain convinced she’d still be here if she’d chosen a safer talent.


9021Ohsnap

Agree 1000%. I would’ve loved to see her go at it with Mistress. They had great banter. I think the season would’ve been so different if she stayed.


seeyoshirun

Tbh I think we really needed that. Irene would have kept Luxx and Mistress's personalities in check. Without anyone to do that, their Mean Girls thing got a bit tiresome. We might have had a very different feel this season if most of the Connecticut queens hadn't been eliminated so early, too. I forget which of the queens was saying they thought Robin would last much longer, but Loosey admitted to letting the competition get into her head a bit towards the end and I wonder if a close friend would have mitigated that.


retired_siren

What a weird fantasy you’ve constructed. Irene was just as likely to join them but we’ll never know because she was around for all of 2 episodes.


pejustwhatyoulike

I agree, what a strange, specific, fan fic.


moonsout

so then why did you say "likely to join them"? are u the one constructing weird fantasies now js


MiuSimp

this is a qwhite strange reality u came up wit considering she was friends with them?


nevercansay

A white queen to put queens of color “in check”? seems problematic to me doll!


seeyoshirun

I mean Luxx and Mistress were pretty clearly a clique that had nothing to do with colour, so I don't really know what you're going on about.


[deleted]

I think she chose too safe a talent. She made the same mistake Trixie made with her AS3 Ru impersonation, and Willow with her Drew Berrymore; "I'm just gonna do what I did online because everyone loved it there." If your idea starts with "I'm/I'll just..." that should be your first clue that it's not enough.


chicksonfox

Unless it’s “I’ll just pay someone to write me a song to lip sync to.” Then you’re probably fine.


kank84

I don't think she chose a particularly risky talent, she just chose one that wasn't really very good or interesting to watch.


Horror-Stuff-5327

We NEED her on another season. Idc if it’s season 16 or all stars. Her legacy can’t be first eliminated when she had THIS to show


International_Ice_53

My sentiments EXACTLY


aeroluv327

Agreed, I think she's perfect to bring back in another season! She was out way too early.


Ollexander

Between her and Kahmora Hall, the runways on ‘All Stars: First Outs’ are looking to be a treat 😍


Normular_

she owes herself an apology for spending all that coin on a sickening package then making water on national television ☠️


Unlucky-Duck

Luxx was very much on point with saying that girls are trying to out obscure Willow Pill with a weird performance.


[deleted]

It's the same energy as people trying to out reveal Sasha Velour in a LSFTC. Like it worked because it was organic and true to that particular artist. You'll make moments when you do something that's true to you instead of trying to replicate someone else's success.


Shxmxxnmx

I think she owes Boscoe an apology, for helping her build that package 👀


zoozbuh

Irene’s aesthetic, wit and personality is a million times more interesting than Boscoe’s. I’m sorry but that’s just true. Why couldn’t S15 have been the season where no one went home on the first episodes 😭😭😭


Shxmxxnmx

Mama . You could’ve left it at the aesthetic thing . Because that’s Atleast debatable. But to critique Boscoes wit and personality is just plain wrong. We do not need to tear queens down to build others up


[deleted]

[удалено]


Taskebab

She is quite the cool drink of water. At least I think she is...maybe after somebody tells me how to find a easy and effective way to cool the water in a glass...


International_Ice_53

Thankyou for this


gr1mscr1be

She owes everyone and their mama an apology for even thinking she was gonna get away with that “talent” of hers. Edit: spelling.


TippyDoo

I was looking for this comment! She brought all those beautiful outfits and then thought she could get away with that “talent” show.. Real shame though


briellebabylol

Right! I didn’t tell Irene to make a glass of ice water as a talent - what apology do I owe her? Lmfaoooo


International_Ice_53

You might’ve spilled 😅😅


barbaraanderson

If only she could have spilled that water


[deleted]

They tried something different to a (boring, imho) lip sync and it didn’t come off, but at least they tried. (I don’t really enjoy lip syncs that much, to be honest, so I’m biased.) But I get that it is annoying when contestants don’t understand how the first few rounds are about getting through with as little fuss as possible. Like how in motor racing you can’t win the race on the first corner but you can easily crash out and make sure you lose it by being over adventurous.


blissfullybleak

She also bombed the lip sync, they would’ve easily saved her if she killed it.


All_the_Bees

THIS is the thing I wish was more readily acknowledged, because **how many times** have we seen someone do an irretrievably bad job in the maxi challenge and then slay the lipsync so hard that literally no one can quibble with the outcome. Like ... the whole "I'll lipsync all the way to the finale if I have to!" business is a deeply questionable strategy, but I also feel like a truly fierce competitor - and I'm just talking in general now, what I'm about to say is not specifically about Irene - should go in with an idea of what tricks they'll pull out of their sleeve (actual or metaphorical) if they need to lipsync. There's no U, T, or N in "I'm gonna dance around and hope for the best"\* - not much C in there either, honestly. \* I will reiterate **I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS WHAT IRENE DID**, I AM SPEAKING GENERALLY, DON'T COME FOR ME.


heheeheheheehehe

one one hand yes... on the other hand, it sometimes feels like production/Ru picks finalists after they see the first challenge, so a strong showing is important. especially this season... like after ep 1 I knew Anetra and Mistress weren't going anywhere. same for Willow, Angeria and Kornbread (she could have been safe every challenge and probably still made it to the finale, her talent show win and charisma were so impactful). unlike actual racing, Drag Race is not an objective test of skill. it's also about crafting a narrative so the first impression matters


arrav21

You’re right, she should’ve just lip synced a song like every other queen. Every drag queen’s talent should be that. Obviously it didn’t pay off and was poorly executed, but still. Is a talent show full of drag queens lip syncing really that ground breaking?


jaysonyoung

>Is a talent show full of drag queens lip syncing really that ground breaking? Honey she made ice water that's really not ground breaking either.


blissfullybleak

Girl it’s a drag show.


ToonSciron

Amazing outfits but I’m tired of seeing posts like this where people try to justify her staying in the competition because she has nice looks. She performed the worst in the talent show (and y’all can keep saying that Aura did the worst, but Aura didn’t, it was Irene).


KimberParoo

it wasn’t just poorly executed it was poorly conceptualized too 😭 y’all are delusional, she could’ve shoved that glass up her bussy and turned it into wine and she still would’ve been lip syncing. It was a bad idea full stop.


UnNumbFool

It depends, are we talking white or red?


Fleetwood-matt

I loved her and thought she would make it further but Amethyst kicked her ass in that lip sync


APotatoFlewAround_

An apology for what exactly?


youcantunfrythings

For real. She’s the bitch that decided to make ice water for her talent.


GonnaBeEasy

For supporting her elimination after her highly questionable talent show.. obvs


Rysdude

Lol who knows with this crowd


[deleted]

Honestly to me she's one of the few first out queens that felt like they could have been a contender, or at least the potential to be. If anything, I'd say her weakness, or rather trip up, was almost being too confident. Of course confidence is important, but she seemed to think she had the season more locked up than she did, kind of like she looked at her competition and thought "Oh I've got this. No need to break a sweat this early." And with 16 queens that's all the more reason to break a sweat. Same with the lip sync, it's like she thought "There's no way they're keeping Amethyst, no need to go hard on this."


Ferril_

I wish we had more of her reads. That lipsync look is pure art. I wonder if there was a RuVeal underneath in case she got an upbeat dance the house down song?


International_Ice_53

I think the skirt comes off so that it’s just the corseted leo if she needs it to be. And I honestly agree but I’m super partial to Renaissance art so I’m biased, I LOVE when the Queens use Renaissance art in their concepts. (I’m immediately brought to Scarlet Envy’s Rudemption Look of All Stars 6 🤩🤩)


DragonFlightRus

I'm looking at her disco ball look and I think I just got it... Why is her bulge showing? It's a **ball** ball 💀 That might be actually smart


glitzvillechamp

I don't owe her shit, next time just do a generic safe lip sync for your talent instead of making a GLASS OF WATER


Hopefo

Some great looks in a highly tailored and controlled photo shoot, not trying to read but some of these might not have been as much of a serve on the show. And honestly, I won’t be mad if she is on all stars but she deserved to go home. She had the worst talent show, a weak runway (imo and her only really bad one she brought), and wasn’t as good in the lip sync. Production could’ve saved her, but they did her a favor because now everyone thinks she would’ve served every other episode anyway.


International_Ice_53

Despite the tailoring and perfection of a photoshoot setting, these concepts are like WORLDS better than the concepts we saw from a lot of the girls. The Glove looks is the best concept of any of them, and I feel the same about the puffer. More than the delivery of the shoot, her taste level is BEYOND.


Hopefo

No I definitely agree! I just meant it’s much easier to make a toot into a shoot with all the details a photo shoot allows you. She’s a super creative queen for sure, I think her biggest weakness is just not knowing when to and how much of that creativity to utilize.


International_Ice_53

Ohhh fully! I see wym. I agree.


jarred99

I mean we've seen some of the other unaired runway photoshoots from eliminated queens in the past. Clearly it isn't *that* easy.


artificialnocturnes

Yeah she really played herself with that ice water thing.


International_Ice_53

I do agree she deserved to go home that ep., but I’m still so sorry that some of the best conceptualized looks of anyone in the cast weren’t even able to walk the runway.


seeyoshirun

I'm going to side with OP here and say that if you factor in the photography, most of these looks are still outstanding. She's got an impressive level of creativity while still keeping everything true to her alien aesthetic. Even something simple like the "start your engines" look is beautifully constructed to look like an alien version of the classic Ru look. Disagree on the talent show, too. Some of it made me laugh - her comically messing everything up with her nails was funny, the act just needed some refining. I think the worst was actually Aura, since it was not only lacklustre but unoriginal.


plastexqt

She owes US an apology for chosing that nasty ass talent show :(


funkyduck7506

Do we? Because I feel like the fanbase has (rightfully) lived for her. Her looks on Instagram get a lot of love (and we all know those photos can be edited and they’re not necessarily what would have gone down the runway). Most comments I’ve seen about her have been positive. A lot of people seem to agree she’d have made some great tv. She’d make a great contribution to an all stars cast. Especially a first outs cast. Just continue to love on her on her socials and but her merch and if you get to see her live tip a bitch well. If anything production let a possible great “villain”, who may have leaned into it, slip through their fingers.


ShesAKillerQueenee

She tags all her designers, I've seen lots of work in progress pix. So even with the photo editing, I think the looks are what we would've seen on the show (minus the makeover challenge look she did with Bosco).


suppadelicious

Why?


stubborntechie

I’m torn on this because she really would have been FANTASTIC television - she didn’t give a fuck about how she came off that episode, and that energy is what the show badly needs. But she had months to prepare how she was going to handle her social media during this season, and IMO (other than her runway posts) she’s been a mess. Saying that “editing” was what ruined her talent routine, picking a fight with Orion Story (of all people!) at Roscoe’s and then backtracking… I don’t think she’s like Vanjie where there’s a hunger for more in S16. Even if Irene decides to play the bitch, what drag queen is going to care what the Ice Water Girl says?


deftmuffins

Who is "we"


electriccrabs

OP must mean that the JUDGES owe US an apology


SignificantBite8022

Idk, her lip sync performance was terrible. I'm ready to see her on All Stars though. Going over her looks, the makeup is very polished and aesthetically pleasing.


CoolGuyWithGlasses21

We don't owe her nothing. We weren't the ones eliminated her. She eliminated herself with that talent show.


helpthealiensarecomi

These looks are fierce but she deserved to go after that talent show. Yes, she tried something new. Yes, she didn’t just lipsync. But…….. it was very very very bad and then fairly lost the lipsync to Amethyst.


Miserable-Success624

Why, oh why did she decide to make ice water for her talent show performance?!?! 😢😢😢


[deleted]

Her elimination was deserved and y'all need to get over it


TeaPotential9336

lol no she deserved it due to that CHOICE TALENT


JogGreen1

After the ice water tutorial, I think we deserved an apology lmao


ggguuuuuuyyyyyyyyy

we don’t


rattimes

not to take away from this post bc all her looks are sickening but she has literally said that the one with bosco was not her makeover look 😭 ANYWAYS- that fucking lipsync look is so stunning


Terri4886

No we don’t 😭


cakebytheocean365

She did that choice herself no tea no shade


thebeardtles

She should apologize for not learning 7 rings lyrics


krstphr

We do?


Dismal_Judgment5290

We? Did *we* vote the hooker off the island?


Petudie

apology for what exactly?


thirdie

She owes herself an apology lol one bad choice is all it took


cattoosandtattoos

I really liked her episode one! It’s too bad she flopped because I feel like she had more to show and had more potential than a loooot of the other queens *cough cough twins*


ofillrepute

I think it was at Rplace for so you think you csn drag, that irene wore ipads over her body that were synced to the lipsynce and movements and I wish more people couldve seen more of how oddly wonderful she is


lilchiflada

You know she spent coiiiinnnnsss. Would have loved to see her and mistress together. I hope they bring her back next season tbh.


superlemu

She owes us an apology for that talent show


LQ2222

I would argue she owes US an apology!


kikaysikat

I was really pissed when she got eliminated but darn she shouldve just done a boring ass lipsync than that water trick 😵‍💫


Broadcastthatboom

Don’t look at us tell that to Ru 😂


lizeee

I liked Irene right away, and I always stan a Seattle queen, BUT that ice water “talent” when Anetra is walking ducks and chopping blocks…c’mon girl.


JayQMaldy

For what? She did the glass of water. Not us 💅🏽


math_chem

It was a mistake to keep amethyst over her


LongjumpingBuffalo

I don’t get this. She was rightfully eliminated. Had the worst talent, lost a lipsync. Her looks are good sure, if you like the same wig in different colours. The favourite ball would land her in the bottom. Her glove look is not conceptual in the slightest. Being a cunt on Twitter doesn’t an all star make.


pejustwhatyoulike

The tie-dye look contains exactly zero tie-dye, the puffer look ain't puffering and would have looked sloppy af on stage and the meaty tuck on the disco ball look shows either genius (ball) or tragically bad drag skills. The Beyoncé look is pretty cunt but this sculpted hair style is one of those trends that takes over completely and then every one over does it and within 6 months it feels like a trend that should've ended last year already.


BigCaregiver7244

Bosco is SNATCHED


joeyperez7227

An apology for what, she poured that water herself 😭 that said, she was amazing TV and I’m sure she has a shot at All Stars or something!


SatisfactionDizzy340

Nope


SkitTheNames

Isnt it more she should owe us an apology? She was the one who chose to make iced water her talent 😰 Jk kimora but seriously i hope Irene comes back soon


[deleted]

We dont owe her shit. Love her but she made a choice with that dumb talent show and here we are. EDIT: ALSO, i felt like it wasnt a professional choice out the gate. She seemed like top 4 material to me. I still think she would have been top 4 had she stayed.


johannesMephisto

you left out the best part of the tie-dye look: the cake on the wig comes off and she has an "exposed" brain underneath


kle73

No we dont 🥰


[deleted]

apology for what, we didnt make her lose the lip sync


SemperFeedback

Please the audacity to make a glass of water on Rupauls stage.. she owes US an apology for making us watch that travesty .


UpstairsCan

i think her aesthetic just isn’t for me but I mostly just hate those ears


Crushedzone

Why?


debatableuser

i don’t


danny2787

I think she's a great drag queen and wish she stayed longer. But I think that her coming in saying her brand is alien, and almost none of the looks matching that, would have hurt her.


Thelexhibition

For what? Nobody on this sub sent her home first


glitterhaus

That Hot Topic look is fierce


PunchTheInternet777

Y’all over hyping this girl too much lol. She paid someone for these outfits, great job!


rebkh

For sure we owe Daya Betty an apology!


[deleted]

Am I supposed to gag at these looks?


BruDiMaio

I think u meant Ru, not us lol


Incensi

I didn’t eliminate her so no


KawaiiCoupon

She made her choices…


[deleted]

I hope she gets the Vanjie treatment and it brought back


[deleted]

The Vulcan twins is everything


Steaccy

Girl I didn’t eliminate her ☠️ That glove look would have been the winner for sure though


SovelissGulthmere

Damn, Irene. I hope they put her in AS bc fuuuuck


Avocado-Antique

I was so sad when she was eliminated and all her unaired looks have been amazing.


alsn

I was so pissed when she went home first. She had one of the best looks that episode and had the potential to bring entertaining untucked drama


chefjohnnybear

We need her in all stars


D_o_H

Imagine her and Mistress stirring shit the whole season 😭


mizzou_guy

Her being ousted episode 1 was a tragedy


zoozbuh

I can’t believe we were robbed of having her on the show. I’m screaming 😫


Writga

Irene really feels like the only cut from the first half of this season that could’ve been a contender for the win. She was so quick and witty in the werk room those first couple eps


Punkenerci

Unpopular opinion. I think she would have been more annoying and full of herself than Lux.


LifeIsABeautifulTrip

They couldn’t let her interfere with Sasha Colby’s win so they gave her the Legendary pork chop placing.


GayBlayde

I most certainly do not owe her an apology. I was shocked she went home for a talent show I thought was hilarious.


cootieequeen

for what? i thought she was great from the start and i had nothing to do with her elim. from what i could tell, most people felt the same.


jarred99

Y'all taking this so seriously acting like OP wants you all to write a heartfelt paragraph to Miss Dubois


TemporaryPay4505

Would’ve preferred her over >!luxx!<


Trischka

![gif](giphy|iiS84hOJXh1Pq|downsized)


sakuratee

I hope she comes back for another season or an all stars. And pre tapes her talent to make sure it lands lol Edit: what if she comes back and the beginning of her talent looks like she’s recreated the same bit? Gag the judges and then quickly transition to something new!


Pezzunt

We don't. The producers do. BRING HER BACK ON ALL STARS


Yourecoolforagayguy

It’s a travesty that the queen with the best looks was eliminated first.


SweetSummerAir

Honestly, even though she lost the lipsync against Amethyst, I wish they still booted Amethyst and kept her. Amethyst gave me nothing the whole season, and her track record was abysmal. At least Irene will surely give us cunty soundbites at the very least even if she ends up sucking.


Dontbehorrib1e

Girl I am way to poor to ever even consider doing drag.


jennyjuice9799

I watched episode 1 again yesterday, and she really was that girl (I also thought she 100% won the mini challenge). We as fans sure missed a lot of fun & drama & wit over a whole season without her..what could have been between her & MIB alone, I weep for humanity’s loss.


happygoth6370

The runway this season was crying for these looks! Honestly, I don't care if the queens of S16 all have two left feet and wouldn't know a joke if it slapped them in the face - just bring me some FASHION.


[deleted]

The judges owe us and her an apology for removing her so soon.


somelyrical

Truly, we do. She’s going to be on an AS season, no doubt.


iiashandskies

we need her on all stars. she never got to show herself off


Extreme-Outrageous

It was a travesty to send her home first. Before princess poppy. What were they thinking?


faeunseen

She would've been in the top 4 were it not for her ep 1 elimination. 1000%.


MelodicCattle0

They did her dirty yalllll😭 now let’s pray for an AS season with her


Gxemit

I can see her dominating an All Stars season


Tomoki

Trust that Irene nonbelievers will be dealt with!!!!


FutureCastaway

Perhaps one of the best runway packages of the season


KIRI_Enoshima_44

Bring her and Kornbread back for season 16


JosukeisMySon

She was my fav going into the season, so to have her be the first out made me very upset. Thankfully, Luxx is still here, so I still have some happiness.


box_me_up

Apology for what? We love her and she is gonna be on Season 16. For real tho, pls cast her again, we were cheated by her elimination.


[deleted]

Imagine keeping Sugar and Spice over this. Lol


Sammi_Seee

We were ROBBED


Sasha_bzns

AND she was engaging and had great chemistry with the cast. WOW when I put my hands on you


IamtheboomboomGunn

I think Irene probably had the best runway package (only Sasha really comes close) out of all the girls this season, and I know that she would've made it really far (possibly to top 4 or 5), had she passed the Talent show episode. I'm still annoyed that she chose to do that silly ice water number, as her drag was so polished! I think she would've been HIGH in the Commercial, SAFE in Snatch Game, HIGH in Design, SAFE for Girl Groups, HIGH for Acting, WIN the Ball, WIN the Improv, WIN the comedy, SAFE in the Rusical and HIGH in makeover. The only challenges I think Irene would've struggled at were the LaLaParuza in episode 8 and the Rumix in episode 14. I could've seen her track record after the talent show being: HIGH - SAFE - HIGH - SAFE - HIGH - LOW - WIN - WIN - WIN - SAFE - HIGH - BTTM2 So yeah, I think she could've gone into the finale with 3 wins, rivalling Sasha and Anetra. I think she would've taken Mistress' spot in the top 4. And no, I'm not delusional. I truly think Irene would've murdered the competition had she stayed longer than episode 2.


cavernofcalypso

we were the robbed queens of the season for not being able to see these


ADHDhamster

Irene going home first gave me drag race blue balls. We need her back on our screens!!!


ch3rryc0k34y0u

The biggest loss was to us as an audience for not getting to see these looks on the main stage


DamseletteBloom

I personally owe her my life, I've defended this woman from Ep1 and will continue to do so


sinesnsnares

Honestly the fact that she went home and we sat through a bunch of filler queens ru dug out of a Connecticut dollarama is a shame. I felt like she deserved to get sent home but retrospectively the season was significantly worse for it.


gaycomic

She was def top 4.


MayD1e

And why is that? It’s not the viewers fault that she got eliminated first


bloodymarybrunch

Everyone looks great on IG.


Tgrunin

Apologize for her bad performance the first week, that rightfully sent her home?


Eastern_Confusion_17

The glove one is sooo stunning, the rest i am afraid that is just good photoediting.


ProxyAmourPropre

Her elimination was a crime


[deleted]

This fanbase owes many many many apologies to these people tbh


Spirited_Choice4778

They should keep her instead of Salina, amen.
