Aja (Patreon)

“You are perfect. You are beautiful. You look like Linda Evangelista. You are a model.” In Rupaul’s Drag Race All Stars 3, we can finally use these words to describe Aja herself on the runway. However, the moment I remember Aja the most is not the famous “Linda Evangelista” moment with Valentina, but the moment when Aja confessed that he knew he was not naturally beautiful thus he felt bad when Valentina, let’s be honest, who’s naturally beautiful, got compliments no matter what. It’s this small moment in her season that let me see his vulnerable side as a human being, not the “yes, I got this” fierce drag queen side he wanted us to see. Therefore, I feel really happy to see him shine in All Stars 3. Even though we still don’t know how far he would go in this competition (cough cough Reddit rumours Don’t read them), he has my best wishes.
