my updated list of who i’d like to see on all stars (yes shockingly there are some queens who still haven’t returned /j), my personal criterion is that they haven’t been back yet, this will focus on US queens but i’m putting on one UK one bcs idk if they’ll ever do an all stars of their own and we have the precedent for that with jimbo ANYWAY without further ado:

lady camden

kerri colby

bosco

mistress isabelle brooks

anetra

dida ritz

sapphira cristál

plasma

mirage

kate butch

denali

S1: Nina Flowers

S2: Jujubee

S4: Lashauwn Beyond + DiDa Ritz

S5: Detox

S9: Peppermint

S10: Yuhua Hamasaki

S14: Daya Betty

I think plasma winning is recency biased even though I did vote for her, because it's crazy because like in 2017 If this question was posed and you replaced plasma with, I don't know. Let's say Dida Ritz, Valentina would have gotten 100% of the vote and people would have slaughtered that guy for posing the question that dared to suggest that anybody other than Valentina was worthy of anything.

Nobody asked but that’s never stopped me anyway. So, here’s which queen from every season that I think is most likely to be on a future all stars season (no repeats/winners) with explanations that also no one asked for:

Season 1: Porkchop - I just feel like they’re priming us for her to be on either an AS or early-outs season and I think she deserves it

Season 2: Nicole Paige Brooks - it was between her and Mystique as the only ones left and Nicole has expressed interest in going back for AS, and with Poppy’s reunion look referencing her, she’s back on fans minds

Season 3: Delta Work - out of the queens that haven’t been on, I think she’s the most relevant other than Carmen, who has burned all the bridges between her and wow anyway. idk what standings she’s in but I could see it happening

Season 4: Dida Ritz - I’ve seen people campaigning for her to be on AS for a while now, and she’s always expressed a willingness to go if invited back. And while Willam is more popular, we can all safely assume that’s not happening

Season 5: Lineysha Sparx - like Dida, she had some good highlights but never really got her flowers (I’m noticing a trend here). No offense to Monica, because I am genuinely so excited to see her on AS8, but I am a bit surprised she was picked over her. But I will concede that I don’t know if she’s still active in drag, but a lot of articles had said MBH retired so 🤷‍♀️

Season 6: Joslyn Fox - I like her, I wanna see her back on. But this is one of those cases where out of the remaining queens from that season, she seems like the most likely choice unless the producers want a ‘do it for the meme’ route like with Serena and cast Kelly (who doesn’t need it and has a great resume on her own, but that’s how I imagine a show runner seeing it)

Season 7: Jaidynn Dior Fierce - another queen that fans have pointed out deserve another chance in the spotlight and there have been rumors that she’d been shortlisted once or twice. Kandy Ho was also shortlisted for what I believe was an early-out season, but I feel like between the two, we’ll see Jaidynn first

Season 8: Cynthia Lee Fontaine - this is, of course, contingent on her health being in a strong enough state to take it on, which isn’t a given, unfortunately. So, barring any health problem, I know Ru loves her and would bring her back

Season 9: Peppermint - at this point, I feel like they’re gonna give into peer pressure one of these days and finally cast her. I think a lot of fans feel that it’s long overdue

Season 10: Asia O’Hara - the only reason I put her as more likely than Kameron is because (I think) she’s expressed more interest in going back. But both of them did the Vegas show for a while so wow definitely likes them and is probably keeping tabs on them

Season 11: Vanessa ‘Vanjie’ Mateo - I feel like this is one of the more obvious ones, to the point where I’m actually surprised it hasn’t happened yet. My theory is that they’re waiting to bring her back when producers know she’ll go far (unlike with 11 where there were a lot of highs and lows without people really seeing her as ‘winner material’). I will, however, acknowledge the possibility that someone like Nina or Plastique could be cast before her

Season 12: Crystal Methyd - like Vanjie and Cynthia, it’s clear Ru loves her and production likely wants her back. That said, I do think she’s one of the queens that wants to put a little more time between her original season and AS, but there’s no other obvious choice. And knowing what I do know about AS shortlists, there’s a chance Rock or Dahlia may precede her if they do go an early-outs route

Season 13: Denali Foxx - again, I don’t know if she’ll be the next s13 queen to go on for the same reasons as Crystal, but I don’t doubt it’s inevitability with how much of a fan favorite she is. If I saw anyone getting cast before her, it could be Kahmora (see above) or Utica

Season 14: Any of the four runner-ups - I know, kind of a cop-out. But here’s the thing, the obvious answer is Kornbread, but she’s said she doesn’t want to go back for AS, but wanted to get another chance to compete in a regular season (which she should’ve!!!). So, Daya, Bosco, Camden, and Angeria all seem more or less equally likely if you mix both the fandom and production standpoints

Season 15: Mistress Isabelle Brooks - also kind of early to call, of course. But I’m not talking about who will be the first/next queen of a season to do AS, just who I feel like stands a good chance of being on one at some point. And I’m so sure they’re gonna wanna bring her back

💫mall drag💫

aka: charly gets autistic wid it

Rebecca Glasscock sauntered into that workroom on season 1, among the likes of Ongina’s one of a kind fashion, Shannel’s coosstumeees, Jade Sotomayor’s immaculate ‘female impersonation’, BeBe’s polish, and Nina Flowers’ everything - wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and a plastic wig.

and that is fucking GREAT.

drag needs no budget. drag needs no production value. what matters only with drag is the joy you get from it; while the artistry, the expression, the triumph of a Manila elegance after dark or a Violet s8 finale look, are all significant in their own rights, in my humble little opinion, the queer joy of drag is most important.

and throwing on a cheap wig, and a couple clothes straight out the closet, or from the women’s section of primark, experimenting with makeup and coming out a little wonky - all of that, to me, is magic. i hear stories about first times in drag, charity shop dresses and hard front wigs, and it makes my heart sing. it’s easy, it’s accessible to everyone. as queer joy should be. as all joy should be.

when DiDa Ritz trots into the workroom in a shitty wig and some street clothes and no makeup, it’s funny. but the way she has all the confidence in the world as she does it - girl, that’s the magic of drag.

so, if you’re looking to get into that art, don’t let the beautiful, high budget custom made couture on the runway deter you. it can be so, so simple to feel like a queen, a king, or whatever in between or outside or none of the above.
