Drag Race UK's Dakota Schiffer has a message for people who don't think she's 'draggy enough'
"I did not think I was lip-syncing that episode," she tells us the dayAnd so do we, quite frankly."Robbed" isn't a word we like to throw around here too often, but if we're judging this challenge purely on the makeover, then Dakota absolutely deserved to be safe this week. Make of that what you will.
My twin knitted that jumper for me. And every week, I just wanted it to be that runway theme, because I was like,"Oh my God, my twin spent 12 days knitting straight to get this jumper for me for this runway, while they were writing their dissertation."It’s probably the most sentimental outfit I brought. I just wanted it to walk the runway so badly. Honestly, half the reason why I was so devastated about leaving, was because it didn’t get to see the light of day.
Trans women have been the backbone of this community for years, and are also crucial to the history of drag. And also drag competitions, like Miss Continental and everything.– aren’t used to seeing someone who looks like me on the show. I think my drag was being viewed through the lens of: I’m not an 8ft Venus Fly Trap –"therefore what the hell is she doing?"
The family resemblance aspect of the challenge was to do your drag character. When they were asking for more variety on the runway, I remember literally looking back at them and saying,"Why would I give you variety in this challenge, when it’s to make someone… my drag family member? It wouldn’t make sense for me to go super '80s punk with this runway. Because why would someone, being a Schiffer, dress that way?"To me, it just didn’t make sense.
You mention the financial aspect here, and I've also seen you discuss those constraints before on social media too. It's something that impacts a lot of the queens onI would have loved to have worn couture on the runway, as we all probably would. I try not to think about stuff like that for the sense that… if I’m overcritical about what I did there, it would be demeaning the work I did.
But, you know, I’m proud of what I did, and I just try not to think about that kind of stuff, because otherwise I think I’ll go upsetting myself, if I was like,"I wish I was Schiaparelli on the runway." We can all dream.Thank you. There are so many designers and grand plans I would have loved to have designed. But it wasn’t in my financial budget.Whenever I think about what I would have loved to have worn; there’s, a makeover challenge, where Farida [Kant] pours blood all over herself.
