Why Yvie Oddly Should Win Drag Race S11


[SOME SPOILERS AHEAD]


If you have not been watching season 11 of Ru Paul's Drag Race Season 11 then you're truly missing out. Episode 1 brought about the elimination of a youtube favourite "Soju" being eliminated in week one and the return of Miss Vanjie. Many of the queens have quickly impressed fans (I have a soft spot of Plastique Tiara, fish and talent/comedy? legend). A rivalry quickly brewed between the loud, outgoing and hilarious Silky Nutmeg Ganache with Ru saying she is a star and the freakishly endearing yet gentle soul Yvie Oddly. Yvie Oddly became my absolute favourite and my horse to back the second we saw that coral umbrella full body pink look. Truly amazing

1) Her Aesthetic....

Yvie has the ability to not only change her silhouette in each and every challenge but at times even the entire theme of the challenge. Yvie has the uncanny ability to take a challenge and force it through her Yvie freakish filter and produce consistently stunning looks. This isn't just an ability she has on Drag Race, checking out her instagram there's no set particular look, style or even colour scheme yet the outfits are always Yvie. Her instagram is @OddlyYvie, make sure to check her work out!




2) Lovably weird

Since the moment the cast was officially announced people began comparing to Sharon Needles, legendary as Sharon is they're not the same. In episode 8 we saw Yvie attempt to reconcile with Silky after they had a bust up resulting in Yvie calling Silky talentless. Silky was deeply upset by this and after some time to herself Yvie apologies for calling her talentless but stood by her other critiques. Silky largely blew this off and ignored Yvie's attempts. Yvie also made up with Miss Vanjie after they had a dramatic argument in untucked. Vanjie took this much better and accepted her apology. Yvie seems to have no issue with speaking her mind yet knows when she has gone too far and is more than willing to apologise.


3) She won't give up

Yvie opened up about her medical condition Ehlers - Danlos syndrome.The condition makes her body produce less collagen (kinda the glue of the body) and whilst this makes her amazing at contortion due to her joints being hyper flexible it leaves her in constant pain. She previously said in episode 6 that on a good day her pain sits at around a four out of ten, sounds horrible. In episode 6 she badly sprained her ankle after doing a kick up and landing badly. She was then forced to use a cane to be able to walk properly, she worked it into her runway flawlessly doing a japanese gangster granny esque look. She refused to let this eliminate her and the next episode she's back to fighting fit. What a warrior.

Do You Actually Need Those Supplements?

First things first, this post isn't questioning whether or not you should take supplements a doctor prescribed to you, you absolutely you should. This post is about optional/self medicated supplements. Ah supplements, able to be gimmicks and legitimate medication. I find it hard to watch people get sucked into buying supplements (at an extraordinary markup) on places like instagram and facebook. Let me be clear, supplements are a very useful and legitimate product that can genuinely save lives and improve the quality of a persons life drastically, just its doubtful you need a full range supplement in your teens or twenties. Let me explain, so say you own a uterus, that monthly bleed is quite often going to leave you deficient in iron, especially if you eat a diet low in iron. This is why my people with uterus' need to take iron supplements . Another example would be vegans, who all need to be taking a daily vitamin B12 supplement to remain healthy. When vitamins becom...
