RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16: The Trade of the Season

January 23, 2024

We are just past the third week of Season 16 of RuPaul's Drag Race and we already have found our man crushes of the cast. Reviews from fans of this season's queens are mixed, which is always the case when a new set of queens arrives. But we have our idea of who will rise to the (pardon the pun) top - some of the fashion, makeup, and talent have been on point. Some have not, LOL. BUT, in the meantime, we wanted to share who we think is totally smashable out of makeup...why isn't that an award at the end of the season?

Q, "Your Favorite Letter of the Alphabet"

Ok, Q charmed us this last episode of Drag Race when he did his Judy Garland drag...yassss to throwback divas!

But we were instantly taken with his beautiful eyes, they are stunning. He appears innocent, but there's a naughty gleam in them that intrigues us. Also, take a look at those lips...they are full, soft, and gorgeous. We can imagine kissing those lips for a while. He's just got that boyish, handsome face that we have fallen for.

Now before you get all lovey-dovey like we did, keep in mind he has a boyfriend. Check out the adorable moment he shared with him:

Mirage, "A Performer Not a Conformer"

She's tall, she's got an edge, and long hair we can play with and hold on to.

When he first took off all his makeup, we did a double take. He looks like that bad boy who hangs out at the mall (does anyone still actually go to the mall)? He also looks like that tall top who is very hung and who is hosting in a bedroom with a mattress on the floor, clothes in the corner...you know the D is gonna be bomb.

Nymphia Wind, "Spreading Banana Fever"

She is small in stature but has TONS of high energy and spunk. She certainly made a splash when she entered the Werk Room. She's got a unique and playful style and loves embracing her culture.

As a boy, he is just so adorable. He has that playful energy we love, along with such a cute face. We wouldn't mind sharing our banana.

Morphine Love Dion, "It Girl of Miami"

Morphine has got that Miami, Latina FIRE! She's a tamale full of sassy and we are here for it.

And when she takes her make up off, he's a cutie and our eyes automatically go to that booty...three letters for you: BBL. No padding needed here...we'll get out the chorizo.

Xunami Muse, "Like the Natural Disaster"

Drag daughter of Kandy Muse, she is a sexy diva who can do classy, comic, and sexy drag. She is a chameleon of the runway and we can't wait to see what more she brings to the show.

Oh lordy, when she gets out of that makeup, he's trade for sure! Those lips, that structured mug, and that confident swagger. We are all in!

Plane Jane, "Burger Finger"

We left her for last, we love her style and look, and we know she is going to go far in the competition but girl, we aren't a fan of her ego. Whether it's an act or not, a big ego does not equate to a big...talent. But, in her case, could that be false? She's killed it so far. And she knows it.

Now, honey, when he gets out of makeup, beware...he is hot. He looks like a CW cast member with his classically handsome face, eyebrows big enough to hang on to, and a body that is tight and ready for action. But he knows it, and that is a bit of a turn-off. Or is it? Jerks are usually the best in bed.
