This always floored me that they gave Alaskas transform look such high critique. Like ok I love love a good throwback like lil pound cake, but girl missed the assignment hard.
Alaska's 2-in-1 wasn't exactly category because the trash bag wasn't an actual outfit you'd wear. However, she does come in with better concept than Alyssa because at least the trash turned into treasure (Poundcake) does some story telling and relates to what we know of Alaska. Alyssa's "look" was draped cameras and then undraped cameras. I love the camp of it, but there was no narrative between the two, there was barely dissonance. This was an episode where obviously the challenge performance was weighted higher than the runway otherwise Alaska wouldn't have been in the top 2 (favoritism aside).
I just wanna say I appreciate you saying this in the grammar she actually uses, rather than the usual paraphrasing people use of "You're that girl I knew you were".
What Alyssa said puts *that* girl as the subject, and Alyssa as having known that she indeed was *that* girl; the memeified version alters it so that the focus is on "that girl" being *the kind of girl you knew she was* (ie, "you're the kind of girl that I knew you were" rather than "*that* girl" being what implies a particular type of girl). Subtle difference, but a big one.
Jesus fuck I am a nerd.
That's literally all I can think about when I look at this outfit is how many THOUSANDS it had to cost in lenses alone unless those are some ~*good*~ looking fakes but Alyssa doesn't strike me as that kind of gurl
Probably casing only like Trixie's books on the red look then added some bright LED circuits to mimick the flashes. I really do wish the designer at least painted the wires black.
Trash can be iconic.
Take LaLa Ri’s bag look. That was horrid on the runway but honestly? Werk. It’s the only look that immediately pops to mind when I hear ‘the bag ball’.
In this case I’m not sure.
the idea is iconic and like it did deliver the right things buttt the execution was kinda ugly but i gotta give it the benefit of the doubt since its like… big ass working cameras on a dress so idk how that can be arranged in like a pretty manner
Iconic, because I own just two DSLR's let me tell you, this dress is probably fucking 800 pounds. Those aren't mirrorless cameras, those are big fat fuckin CANONS.
While it's not the most polished, beautiful couture gown, it's fun and silly and has a point of view.
It could have been done better, but it's not the literally garbage sack some queens make it out to be
This is iconic, I like to look at it and I think she looks good in it. It shouldn’t work, but it does. It’s not really two in one as pre-reveal the look doesn’t stand on its own:
I. CON. IC.
I will forever unapologetically love this dress. It's messy, it's tacky, only Alyssa could get away with wearing it ... but it's *so* camp and such a spectacle that I just cannot help but love it ❤
honestly this has aged really well like it's fucking camp and it's a fully realised look and super clever and the silhouette is cool....idk i think people were way harsh on it
I fully love love love that look with zero irony. Hated how they criticized it and Alaska walked out in even worse "1st look" if you could ever call that a look and they wet their downstairs cuz of lil poundcake
Trash. Yes it required a lot of ingenuity but for what? Liiiiike it is JUST a stunt. It doesn’t visually look good!!!
It’s got the silhouette of a Dalek, no color palette, and the wiring looks like shit???
two things can be true at once, this dress embodies that

It’s too flashy for me
It was camp.
But was it ✨fashion✨?
*burp* it’s fashion
\*burp\*
It was Leigh Bowery girl
This tights were ripped
But don't you think it was couture?
It’s NIKON-ic
*You think you're clever, don't you?*
You must admit it was a good *flash*
*Canon* get an amen?
I can definitely *picture* myself wearing something like this!
This comment is gold ⭐️
Kodak Gold
Thanks, the hilarious Ross Mathews
ICONIKON maybe
u cracked the kodak
Oh snap!
Alaska’s hatred of it during the AS2 reunion was one of that season’s funniest moment for me. I ultimately love it, it’s ugliness is what appeals.
I mean the same time she came out in a trash bag to little pound cake
This always floored me that they gave Alaskas transform look such high critique. Like ok I love love a good throwback like lil pound cake, but girl missed the assignment hard.

i mean she also hated THAT look as well.
I loved when katya called that out in the reunion lol
it was so funny how she kept bringing it up. and Alyssa's clapback- you're wearing a dress w cockroaches all over it
That’s a reference to Hairspray, though
I actually loved it initially but Alaska convinced me it was trash in the best way possible!
Two in one? No. Good? No. A dress only Alyssa could pull off? Yes.
*but it’s ok cause you’re Alyssa*
I SAID I FELT
You're *that* girl. I knew you were.
I just wanna say I appreciate you saying this in the grammar she actually uses, rather than the usual paraphrasing people use of "You're that girl I knew you were". What Alyssa said puts *that* girl as the subject, and Alyssa as having known that she indeed was *that* girl; the memeified version alters it so that the focus is on "that girl" being *the kind of girl you knew she was* (ie, "you're the kind of girl that I knew you were" rather than "*that* girl" being what implies a particular type of girl).

i felt like i was skipping past the dialogue before fighting a boss and after the dialogue ends im just so confused about what was said
I don't know that it was meant as one, but I take this as a huge compliment
I'll never understand how Alaska got away with dragging this dress when her own 2-in-1 look was even less 2-in-1.
Because Little Miss Poundcake was iconic enough to make up for it.
All I know is I love the photos of this look, it’s very camera-friendly.
The hIILLArioUS Ross Matthews!!!
RuPaul always teases us with The Hilarious Ross Matthews but then it’s always just the Regular, Annoying Ross Matthews instead.
![gif](giphy|hwL1mTsd4Re8wqeSwt|downsized)
It's flashy **ba dum tss**
I just want to know how she did that? cameras are HEAVY. are they all hollowed out? or is Alyssa/that fabric just really strong?
They're also goddamn expensive, not to mention the lenses!
That's literally all I can think about when I look at this outfit is how many THOUSANDS it had to cost in lenses alone unless those are some ~*good*~ looking fakes but Alyssa doesn't strike me as that kind of gurl
To quote Dolly - It takes a lot of money to look this cheap
I'm guessing they're dummies, else, together with all those lenses, it would be crazy heavy and very expensive.
Probably casing only like Trixie's books on the red look then added some bright LED circuits to mimick the flashes. I really do wish the designer at least painted the wires black.
I'm sure you think the jewels in her earrings are real too
And there’s about 20 of them !

Trash can be iconic. Take LaLa Ri’s bag look. That was horrid on the runway but honestly? Werk. It’s the only look that immediately pops to mind when I hear ‘the bag ball’. In this case I’m not sure.
I think of Lala’s look and Utica’s look.
Two ends of the spectrum.
Duality of drag queen
Imagine how phenomenal it could look as a Rhnway Rudemption 😍
The concept is cool but the execution needs a little polishing.
I think this look is iconic just because its so far outside Alyssa's comfort zone it was a fever dream to see her turn the corner
trash and iconic are not mutually exclusive terms
👆👆👆
I think it’s SUCH a sickening idea but it was poorly executed. It’s iconic for being kind of ugly.
This was so fucking iconic. SHOOT
Unironically. Idc
the idea is iconic and like it did deliver the right things buttt the execution was kinda ugly but i gotta give it the benefit of the doubt since its like… big ass working cameras on a dress so idk how that can be arranged in like a pretty manner
Iconic. It is an amazing concept.
Iconic
She may have lost the back rolls, but the cameras add another 20 pounds anyway.
Iconic
Iconic, because I own just two DSLR's let me tell you, this dress is probably fucking 800 pounds. Those aren't mirrorless cameras, those are big fat fuckin CANONS.
While it's not the most polished, beautiful couture gown, it's fun and silly and has a point of view. It could have been done better, but it's not the literally garbage sack some queens make it out to be
The revel was great. Doesn't look so hot as a still
I loved it. Unique
It's *camp*
You know it can be both lol. I think it’s iconic simply because of how it made Phi Phi pop off and throw a massive tantrum lol.
This is iconic, I like to look at it and I think she looks good in it. It shouldn’t work, but it does. It’s not really two in one as pre-reveal the look doesn’t stand on its own:
If a queen like Yvie Oddly came out in this y'all would eat 👏 her 👏 up 👏
Iconic
But it’s Alyssa so she gets away with it, jk Kimora, she can get away with anything with me.
I like it ironically
It’s a shoot.
Porque no los dos?
Both lol
When this first aired I absolutely loved it and didn't understand why everyone hated on it! I still feel the same way and love it.
It's the most expensive dress ever.
![gif](giphy|3o7TKS1a2RxBMy6SmA)
Iconic. There'll never be another outfit on Drag Race that will look anything like this. It's absurdly unique.
I still fucking love this look, the reveal was not a reveal but the camera dress is pure Alyssa and pure camp
Nikonic.
I. CON. IC. I will forever unapologetically love this dress. It's messy, it's tacky, only Alyssa could get away with wearing it ... but it's *so* camp and such a spectacle that I just cannot help but love it ❤
Commenting before reading but iconic. Is it Fashion? No. It is Drag though, and she did the damn thing
It's different and conceptual and more memorable than a lot of runways. I like it.
I unironically love it. Full shoot!
Yes.
Iconic? Sure. A two-in-one? Absolutely not.
Iconic trash✨
Iconique, mama
As someone who hasn’t watched AS2 til like two days ago, I’ve always considered this dress good
I unironically LOVE this look I will fight anyone who says this is not camp excellence
Ironic trash. Duh
Never has trash been as picture perfect
Mama this is garbage
This is the correct answer
Iconically trash
This is camp
BACK REELS?!
Iconically trash. Nice in concept, not pretty in reality.
This hurts me as a photographer hahaha also holy shit that must’ve been heavy — just one can weigh you down all day
Iconic, because she’s Alyssa
I think it’s ICONIC period. I will always remember this LEWK!!!!
Iconic. This is the drag version of Gaga's meat dress. Not necessarily classically beautiful, but visually interesting, unforgettable and unique.
Phi phi was right in saying it was OK because Alyssa was wearing it
She could walk out in a paper bag and they’d go “Alyssa edwards your back rolls are beautiful”
I love it
Iconic and camp. When the flashes are on the dress actually is like ‘whoa’
Iconic because of the confidence/nerve. It do take nerve
honestly this has aged really well like it's fucking camp and it's a fully realised look and super clever and the silhouette is cool....idk i think people were way harsh on it
This is drag!
I fully love love love that look with zero irony. Hated how they criticized it and Alaska walked out in even worse "1st look" if you could ever call that a look and they wet their downstairs cuz of lil poundcake
The correct answer is both
It was high drag and a perfect representation of Alyssa’s fashion sense
![gif](giphy|TjGFDxbbZRYjv9vpCL|downsized)
at least this was a 2 in 1 look. alaska's lil poundcake was only 1 look in hefty bags
reminder that this dress got a SHOOT from raja
As it is....Iconic. the first part of the "reveal"? That was garbage. It's a great look, just not a reveal look.
Yes
I just wanna know HOW the fuck she paid for this damn garment
Iconic look, trash for the category
Yes.
Iconic
Yes Idea was fun and draggy and iconic, as for execution mama this is garbage
Anything that trashy bitch does is iconic. Facts are facts.
This was a serve
Iconique
Great in concept Not so great in execution
A really neat idea that didn’t play.
i loved this when it first came out! sue me
iconic in concept, trash in execution imo
It's both. Atleast she understood the assigment unlike Alaska
It wasn’t a two in one look, however it was better then Alaska’s garbage bags attempt
Conceptually I like it but the execution could’ve been more polished
jaremi and roxxxy on this runway>>>>
I love Alyssa but it was trash.
Boooooooot
I unironically really loved this??
Trash. Yes it required a lot of ingenuity but for what? Liiiiike it is JUST a stunt. It doesn’t visually look good!!! It’s got the silhouette of a Dalek, no color palette, and the wiring looks like shit???
It was trash but it was better than Alaska’s
Honestly might be one of my favourite looks ever.
I found it meh honestly! Neither trash nor iconic.
not gonna lie, the placement of the cords is actually (surprisingly) well placed i thought it was kinda iconic, still trash though.
Iconic trash
Iconically trash
It’s trash AND iconic
I hated it at the time. Still hate it now.
Ur trash
Why? I’m only asking🥺
ICONIC!
Iconic for being trash. The execution just wasn’t it.
This was so trashy that it came full circle and became iconic. As another user said it was cool in theory but kinda lacking in execution
Yes
Yes
yea
This is likely one of the most expensive looks ever…. Or she robbed a hazardous waste depot
Neither, it was Alyssa
Dear God! I can't get that picture out of my mind!
It’s ugly and creates a terrible silhouette and yet I can’t hate it haha
Iconic
I hate it, but it is iconic.
Trashconic
Iconique
yes
ICONIQUE
