Sure, her lip-sync was completely overshadowed by LaLa Ri, but Joey Jay cemented her place in my heart as one of the only queens to tell Kandy that she was being ridiculous and ‘arrogant’ in the heat of the moment.

References to the ballroom scene have long cropped up in RuPaul s Drag Race over the show s 13 seasons. And it makes sense: the ballroom community broke off from drag pageants in a much-discussed origin story but the two reference one another often. In
Drag Race that turns up in Maxi Challenges like the long-running ball challenge, as well as in choreography you don t have to look too closely to see that more than a few of Denali Fox s go-to lip sync moves are lifts of the five elements of voguing.
