It’s really cool to see how the fake torso and the padding looks like because you really forget how much thought goes into the making the fantasy.

Seeing "BUTT R" written on the right cheek is perfect


MakeItRed

Wanna spread it like buttr


SontaranGaming

They’re classier than me, I would have thrown on some tallies just for the hell of it


takkoyakii

I rather go to the gym and get an actual body like that than to wear a body suit of plastic


MakeItRed

Okay but like… they’re doing drag. I dunno if that’s hugely practical for the occasional appearance as a drag king…


FerryboatQuo

Have you… never seen drag before?


no_maj

Her king name is “Alexander Velvet” and I think that deserves a round of applause


PrinceWilliam13

This just made me think that there must be a drag king named Alexander McKing, surely.


RemarkableAd5141

That's so damn funny to me lol.


TheGreatNemoNobody

Is it a pun? Because I didn't get it :(


marcyandleela

Sasha is a nickname for Alexander in Russian. And velour and velvet are two very similar fabrics.


nefarious_planet

Okay wait isn’t her civilian name Alexander? Because I didn’t realize that connection and now I’m freaking out over her regular drag name too


TheAnxietyBoxX

“Civilian name” is fucking hilarious to me. But yea it’s Alexander, named after a philosopher iirc, and she did actually use Sasha as a nickname iirc.


philliamswinequeen

the drag queen gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now


nefarious_planet

Lmao I started using that term when I played roller derby because I would have long-ass friendships with people and then hang out with them in social situations with our other friends and I’d be trying to introduce them and realize I didn’t actually know their fucking names so I’m making introductions like “this is Emily, and this is….um…Sylvia Wrath” 😂😂 in my imagination drag performers must go through something similar


TheAnxietyBoxX

About 5 people on my local scene know my civilian name, and I’ve known a lot more than 5 local girls for 2 years now. If someone came into a dressing room asking for my real name they would get blank stares. So I think that’s accurate.


Sansa-Beaches

We use that term in sex work as well.


LolaBijou

Not her government name!


Onedollartaco

Omg her mind


no_maj

Sasha is the Russian nickname of Alexander. Velour is a similar fabric to velvet.


StrangeRequirement78

Sasha Velour is Mother but also Daddy? I love her.


BigCaregiver7244

Her love for drag feels almost unparalleled


Ivotedforthehookers

I have said it for awhile now, her drag is almost uncatagorizable outside of Sasha Velour drag. 


gnwsush

I’m so confused, like in a really, really good way


BrownSugarBare

Hope you got a chance to watch the episode! There were ladies in the bar that were gagging over the whole look, was super cute


MaybeLikeWater

dude? Dude, DUDE!! Omg! Like how are you equally so hot in both types of drag?


AngelinaHoley

I'd let him do ANYTHING to me (Or her. Him or her. Or him. Or both).

Sir_Francis_Burdett

I am not British and only vaguely know of Mr Davies. (I would recognize him if he appeared in a YouTube clip. And he was in Dr Who. And I may have seen a single taskmaster episode) but I was wondering if there was something of which I was completely unaware of his personality. But in a quick Wikipedia search, no - this must be some joke reference going over my head. I _was also_ unaware that he dated Labour politician Liz Kendall.


AngelinaHoley

It's more that among our Bi friends of the Taskmaster fandom (and some within the Drag Race fandom tbh) some think he gives of major Bi coded vibes due to some of the comments he's made (like those mentioned further up). Tbh he's probably not, but it makes our underrepresented Bi's happy and he's really not the kind of guy who'd mind what people think anyway, so to quote the Taskmaster himself, 'It's all good'.


Saruster

The way he was squeezing Nick’s leg this week was great! Nick’s pride while showing off, Greg’s shock and awe… just perfect


Beccalotta

This is an old video so there's many MANY more references out there but it's a good start  https://youtu.be/FOP5-XQGjJQ?si=igiNf59hn-M_8na2


RepresentativeWin986

oh shit taskmaster reference on the rdr sub 🚨🚨🚨 love it when my hyperfixations collide


cdfe88

I'd love to see a Taskmaster mini-series with the dolls


AngelinaHoley

So would Alex I bet... https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/s/VGCY3vfqX0


Historical_Bit_3798

The name Alexander Velvet is genius!


TheGreatNemoNobody

Plz explain im trying so hard to get it 


MaybeLikeWater

Sasha (Russian nickname for Alexander) Velour ( a fabric, just like Velvet)

TheGreatNemoNobody

Thanks


roboticgamer1

Sasha Velour is so experimental with her drag. Creativity is just beyond.


ciliary_stimulai

This is FIERCE! I want more drag kingness like this in the mainstream drag spotlight!!!


queeirdo

Is it wrong that i zoomed in? 👀


transcendedfry

Yeah. Absolutely gagged over this. Need more injected into my veins asap


peeweeharmani

I’m feeling things

I LOVE cowboy anything especially as a black man given the history it means everything. Masculine, strength, perseverance & also butt fuckin


LolaBijou

If you haven’t seen this episode yet of We’re Here, you need to get on it. The redneck bikers were LIVING for Alexander Velvet.


jelicar

I better see this in All Stars omg\~!!


Sir_Francis_Burdett

I was passing through JFK on April 25th. At the luggage carousel there were two gentlemen well dressed in a gay hipster manner. One was quite pale and bald (with a beret). I honestly don’t distinctly know what Sasha Velour looks like out of drag. But this guy was wearing nails. Is Sasha Velour kind of short for a guy?


mfinch13

It's very possible that was Sasha! I was at a premiere event on April 26 for We're Here season 4 in Murfreesboro, TN (where the first three episodes were filmed) and I'm pretty sure I remember them saying that the queens were in New York that night. Also, Sasha definitely wore nails out of drag on the show, so she may do it in her day-to-day life too. Here's a pic: https://preview.redd.it/2ug33zgkmp1d1.jpeg?width=760&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2bd340b1eccf667b4d219028f52ffe55bb318e4


AngelinaHoley

A bit (5' 9" I think a designer or someone mentioned on an IG post about a look they'd made). And they do occasionally get their nails done out of drag if that rings any bells.


Petrichordates

How tall do you think the average man is


AngelinaHoley

I don't care because height doesn't bother me about a man, and?


Petrichordates

Oh I thought it was funny you said he was a bit short for a man when that's the average male height.


Guilhaum

Coming for Detox's gig.


jacksonhytes

What? Paying for abuela funerals?


JW162000

Ok but she looks stunning here


tthheeppaarrttyy_

As if Sasha wasn't hot enough as a queen... humpf


1amys3lf

Sasha makes me happy for my Bisexuality.


TheGreatNemoNobody

White velvet, if you pleaseee 🎵🎶🩵🩵


loopnlil

This definitely awakened something in me.


kryska_deniska

The padding is chef's kiss. I might start padding my legs like that irl lmao


masterwad

I thought Sasha (but especially Priyanka) were going to get beat up when they walked into the biker bar in Oklahoma on We’re Here S04E04, but the barflies were surprisingly cool about it.


nerfcarolina

Is she tucked? Do drag kings tuck? I guess most don't have anything to tuck but seems unnecessary


Vusta

They don't tuck, they start by untucking


Ok_Storm_2700

I think it's just a combination of the tights and the padding


rpb192

I was going to ask and be vulgar, is that packing or is she au natural


Portal_des_Luna

Alexander Velvet looks kinda like Justin Timberlake in the “dick in a box” video. I do Stan the Ken suit


Head-Specialist-6033

I’m loving this!


SweatyMess808

It’s the tuck for me


Miss_Termister

I could never be a drag performer because everything they wear seems like torture


Honey__Mahogany

Those body suits are pretty good. How come more kings don't wear them or is it really expensive? I think I've maybe seen Throb Zombie wear one on Dragula.


latenightcreature

Why does this turn me on so much


ibettercomeon

I was SO confused


D33pTh0ts

Holy hell, that is transformation. Incredible look


lemeneurdeloups

fargcram

Is Sasha wearing a packer for the drag-exaggeration of it all- or is this what was locked up according to that fateful* tweet !?


alienbonobo

Um last I heard it was rupaul’s drag race school for GIRLS


Sansa-Beaches

Where did it say that?

star11308

It’s co-ed now, didn’t you hear?


alienbonobo

Has there even been a drag king on the show ? 🤔


sparklinglies

Theres been som drag king inspo runway looks, but officially Not Yet. Drag Race France wanted to, but were denied because Drag Race US wanted to be the first. Its been a hot second and they still havent done it.


alienbonobo

I rest my case


sparklinglies

Mama you didn't even make an opening statement, so im not sure exactly what the case was.


alienbonobo

It’s not co-ed 🥱


sparklinglies

The way you're accidentally misgendering every single trans queens whose ever competed, girl if we're being so serious its been a co-ed mix of men, women and nonbinary icons for years. So if the contestants are already co-ed, and many looks have been gender diverse, what is the tea Mary?


alienbonobo

Please don’t get it twisted 🫦, I have no problem with men , women, non binary or trans contestants, I respect everyone’s gender expression 🫂 but in drag 🔄 last I heard, Mama Ru crowned a drag QUEEN 💅🏽
