Rosie and Jessica’s Day of Fun

Yesterday of Fun…Episode 111: Spectacles and Hairpins

Jessica has some essay deadlines this week so we’re hopping back into the archive. As RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 has just wrapped up, we’re looking back to 2018 and Episode 111, where we discussed the end of Season 10 and, some would say, predicted the post Drag Race career of one Vanessa Vanjie Matea.
