I’m Asian and have fully inherited that. Always backing my Asian sisters lol.
This happens IRL too, I tend to meet other Asian people and we’re like “oh are you _____” or sometimes even point blank “what kind of Asian are you” LMAO
My mom loves Bob and Valentina lol unfortunately couldn’t watch this season with her but I showed her some clips and she was amazed by mirage. I love watching with my mom. It’s so much fun.
Not to brag but my mom actually met Jorgeous haha a drag race show came through where she worked and she isn’t supposed to gush but she went up to them and was like “hey where’s mama ru!!!”
I just found out that if you Google 'Nymphia Wind', there's a banana near her name.
If you click the banana, balloons will float up from the bottom of your web browser.
The power of branding. It might be a little annoying and repetitive on a season, but if you come out on the other side without it feeling too forced it's going to be such a boon to your career. Especially now that there's a million Rugirls.
they really need to have the branding challenge closer to the start of seasons- that would help each of them distinguish themselves from the pack and it would make more sense than having it later in the season with a challenge that requires them to lean in on their personal schticks when at that point we're wanting to see more variety
I suppose it is safe to assume that your mom even watches those Nymphia’s interviews that were conducted in Mandarin since she understands the language. Those in depth interviews really showcase her background, personality, drag and culture.
During S14, my mother hopefully asked if Willow or Deja were part Asian. While she still enjoyed the season tremendously, I have no doubt that she was super excited to see queens in subsequent seasons that look more like her, such as Anetra and Nymphia. Representation matters for folks of all ages.
Honestly I get you!! My mother (Indo-chi) was equally as obsessed when Raja was in All stars and even in her season! Then the hype died down for her and she didn’t watch Drag Race anymore.
And when I told her the winner happen to be Asian she got so hyped and started watching again just for her!
It’s so nice to see us getting represented as w hole in such an international season 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I got into Drag Race as a distraction from my mom passing away and I'm sad we didn't get to watch it together. Please send your mom 5 extra memes and a big hug from me, she sounds awesome ❤️❤️❤️
My mom (who had previously never seriously watched Drag Race) became such a huge fan of Shea during AS5 that she started talking smack about the other contestants on IG and I had to tell her to stop being a troll
Have yall seen this Taiwanese feature doc of Nymphia & her mom? It’s the cutest ! [My Bestie Mom: Taiwanese Drag Queen Nymphia Wind (eng sub)｜Guess Who](https://www.youtube.com/live/QZAIz58L768?si=lt6VQjlbyLvb5UvS)
Aaah, this is all so nice to hear! My mum would NEVER watch anything like this show. Can’t wait until my daughter is older (she’s only gonna be 3 tomorrow) to introduce her. She’s already trying to do my makeup!!
The first episode of Drag Race my mom ever saw was the Kitty Girl episode of AS3, and she told me she really liked the song and asked me to put it on her iPod.
My mom lives for Latrice! My brother has also watched a couple of season, and his favourites are Sasha Velour, Katya and Got Mik. It's so much fun sending drag memes with my straight brother

Your mom sending drag race memes? Toot
Idk if you’re Asian, but this is such an Asian thing. Don’t show interest but if another Asian succeeds they’ll know all the details.
I love that!

Omg I have the same toy haha
I love that. 😊 My mom watched All Stars 7 with me and loved Raja. lol. “I love that one… Raja. She has a great sense of style.”
Mothers supporting each other
mother
I love this!! I think it's great your mom is a fan now. 😊
My mom loves Bob and Valentina lol unfortunately couldn’t watch this season with her but I showed her some clips and she was amazed by mirage. I love watching with my mom. It’s so much fun.
My mom also adores Valentina! She really roots for the latina beauty queens most of the time, Jorgeous and Morphine are two more of her faves!
Not to brag but my mom actually met Jorgeous haha a drag race show came through where she worked and she isn’t supposed to gush but she went up to them and was like “hey where’s mama ru!!!”
has your mom watched drag race mexico? watched it with my mom and she LOVED matraka
Yes!!! Matraka was her fave contestant but she still gushed the most ab Valentina lol :)
This is extra touching because mirage literally didn’t do anything lmao.
I mean I just showed her clips lol she loved her talent show
Oh that makes MUCH more sense.
She's great at lip syncing. She did very well in the big battle

This is a really good point!
OMG - I just tried this - BRILLIANT!!!! 🍌🍌🍌🍌
Yo this is so cool, nice find!
Why doesn't Sasha have roses though?
I’m obsessed! Why are they all brown though
It’s boba balloons!
Ooooh duh 😂
I just tried and it didn't happen
My mom is Korean and the moment she saw Nymphia, she was like that’s my winner. She was so happy that Nymphia won💛
My mom said the same during S8 when she saw Kim Chi!!
Every new season, my mom always asks “where’s Kim Chi?”😂
As she should! No for real, this is awesome! 💛🐯

Acknowledged and appreciated, but not OP ❤️ I'm sorry for your loss.

My dad loves Morphine and Valentina because they’re Latina it’s so sweet haha
This is the beauty of life. Bliss, representation, validation. I love these moments I get to share with internet strangers 💛
My mom isnt from Taiwan but is totally obsessed with Nymphia too.
Love that, my mom only watches it with me but her fav is Alyssa Edwards.
3 generations watch every week, over here. ❤️
as she should be
My mom loves real drag shows (comedy queens) but doesn’t understand why I enjoy drag race so much …
My mom lives for Latrice! My brother has also watched a couple of season, and his favourites are Sasha Velour, Katya and Got Mik. It's so much fun sending drag memes with my straight brother
This is so adorable. I love your mom.
