This week on <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/tag\/rupauls-drag-race\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, our queens faced another design challenge, this time creating their own Mini-Me and a very special guest helps the queens showcase their dancing feet.<\/p>\n<p>As the episode opens, the queens return from the mainstage to see the world\u2019s lengthiest mirror message from <strong>Amanda Tori Meating<\/strong>. <strong>Dawn<\/strong> is bummed that she\u2019s gone, and <strong>Q<\/strong> admits she\u2019s surprised that she landed at the bottom (but those dance moves, though\u2026). She vows she\u2019s not going to have to lip sync again. Everyone underestimated Thicc &amp; Stick, and <strong>Geneva Karr<\/strong> was very happy she wasn\u2019t at the bottom (for once.) Q and <strong>Xunami Muse<\/strong> get into it a little bit \u2013 and we do need a new rivalry since Amanda is gone. <strong>Plane Jane<\/strong> is asked who she\u2019s going to pick on now, and she said she listened to <strong>Sapphira Cristal<\/strong>\u2019s advice last week and is turning over a new leaf. Not surprisingly, everyone is skeptical about this statement.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Ru brings the cuchi cuchi queen herself, <strong>Charo<\/strong>, into the werk room for the week\u2019s mini challenge \u2013 The Spanish Fly Girl Flamenco Challenge. The queens have 30 minutes to prepare to show off their spiciest moves with two very handsome dancers (Alfredo and Diego). All of the queens do well in this challenge. Some standouts: Geneva, who has already shown her Spanish dance moves, gives a fun performance. Jane dons a mustache and does a raunchy dance, Xunami definitely brings the heat and <strong>Plasma<\/strong> almost pulls her partner to the floor. (Q was also hilarious.) The winner: Xunami!<\/p>\n<p>For this week&#8217;s main challenge, the queens are tested on their design, branding, and storytelling skills as they have to create their own \u201climited edition\u201d doll based on their drag persona. They have to make look-a-like fashions for themselves and have a backstory about their creation. This one ought to be good. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Drag Race Season 16 Episode 6 First Lewk \ud83c\udf39 RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wc0BHocLnyM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The queens make a mad dash for fabric. Geneva gets her hands on a bolt of red fabric, much to Jane\u2019s dismay and, of course, <strong>Nymphia Wind<\/strong> grabs yellow material for her look. Q, who is delighted to have another chance to showcase her design skills, decides to use golds and browns. Plasma is envisioning a 1950s travel outfit for she and her doll, which Nymphia calls a \u201cno-taste disaster.\u201d Jane hates her fabric choice and tries to sidle up to Geneva, under the guise that she\u2019s looking out for her. Geneva doesn\u2019t relent, so Jane executes her plan B and gets some light blue fabric from Plasma. <strong>Mhi&#8217;ya Iman LePaige<\/strong> struggles and gets an assist from. Sapphira. Nymphia is searching for inspiration (banana, perhaps?) but the other queens don\u2019t seem to be buying her audible \u201cdoubt\u201d. <strong>Morphine Love Dion<\/strong> calls her \u201cthe little banana that cried wolf.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the queens continue to work on their dolls, Dawn says she will give her doll a custom mug, and Jane decides on an aquatic theme to go along with the light blue fabric she mopped from Plasma. Sapphira wants to have an opera coat for her look but fears she won\u2019t have time to execute it, and Morphine vows not to make her BBL the center of attention. Plasma and Geneva are having doubts about their looks, and eventually, Geneva starts over\u2026using the same light blue fabric as Plasma and Jane.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, as the queens prepare for the runway, they talk about dolls. Dawn\u2019s mother would grab her Barbie dolls to play with, and Plasma actually brought the shoes she wore with her childhood Dorothy from <em>The Wizard of Oz<\/em> costume with her. Jane said her father replaced her dolls with fire trucks. She blames her Russian upbringing for the way she perceives drag and says her upbringing gave her deep-rooted insecurities (and is why she is the way she is on the show.) Q says she came from a poor family and felt guilty that she wasn\u2019t more of a breadwinner for her family because she wanted to pursue her art. And after all of this sharing, no one believes Jane has turned over a new leaf.<\/p>\n<p>Ru takes the runway in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RuPaulsDragRace\/status\/1756132604124832124\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a gorgeous, structural minidress<\/a>, and we learn that <strong>Michelle Visage<\/strong> also had a Tiffany Taylor doll (Google it. It was one of my favorites.) We also chat with guest judge <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/socialitelife.com\/tag\/law-roach\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Law Roach<\/a><\/strong>, who ends up being the first judge of the season to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RuPaulsDragRace\/status\/1756138562674679927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">give some actual critiques<\/a>. We then meet the dolls. Xumani brings us the \u201cFashion Week Edition\u201d with velvet bell bottoms and a pink top. Sapphira\u2019s \u201cGrand Dame Diva: Metropolitan Opera Edition\u201d has sideswept red hair (I wish Sapphira\u2019s was a big as her doll\u2019s) and a blue floral print dress (she jokes that the doll comes with \u201copera coat \u2013 not pictured\u201d.) Plasma\u2019s \u201cPassenger of the Pacific Edition\u201d is okay, but she struggles with keeping her head wrap on. Plane\u2019s \u201cAquatic Edition\u201d used the light blue fabric the best out of the three looks using it. It\u2019s kind of a skating outfit but it\u2019s very well executed \u2013 and the doll is a perfect match. Nymphia delivers another great look with her \u201cSpring Banana Yellow Carpet Edition\u201d (she certainly has the branding part of this challenge down pat.) Morphine does display her BBL with her \u201dMiami Bimbo Edition,\u201d and Mhi\u2019ya\u2019s \u201cQueen of Flips Edition\u201d is a somewhat simple bodysuit, and her doll is not quite a look-a-like. <strong>Megami<\/strong> dons blue sequins and an orange crown for her \u201cNative New York edition\u201d, Geneva confuses with her \u201dDaintiest Doll Texas Edition\u201d \u2013 which screamed second attempt (and featured more of that light blue fabric.) Dawn\u2019s \u201cGalactic Empress Edition\u201d was a stunning gown of metallic silver and royal blue, and Q stunned with her \u201cFantasy Edition\u201d with an elaborate headpiece, wire wings, and a beautiful combination of browns and metallic fabrics.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>Xunami, Morphine, Nymphia, and Megami are this week\u2019s safe queens. When Ru asks Sapphira if she wants to take advantage of her immunity potion, she (somewhat surprisingly) says yes. After she drinks it, she regrets her decision immediately. Jane opts to hold onto her potion. Q wins the challenge (and she deserves it), and Mhi\u2019ya and Geneva find themselves in the bottom. The pair lip sync to \u201cControl\u201d by Janet Jackson. Mhi\u2019ya channels her doll and flips, jumps, and splits all over the stage, while Geneva seems to have given up, delivering a low-energy performance. In the end, it\u2019s Geneva who sashays away. \u00a0Next week, the Rusical goes old school and pays tribute to a classic.
