Summary

We're going back to the show's humble roots this week with our deep dive into Episode 1 of the blurry terrain of Season 1. We look past the aggressive filter and shoestring budget to meet the legendary queens who paved the way for seasons to come of Ru Girls. We discuss who stumbles and who shines in the series' first sewing challenge. But first we share our thoughts on Sasha Velour's Nightgowns revue, give a moment of appreciation for two show-stopping queens, and discuss the effects RPDR has had on local queens.
