      She is so whiny! I hate that she dogs the franchise and says she doesn't need it when even recently she was making money reviewing episodes of the show. If you don't need it, stay away from it! I will never understand any queen ( Ru girl or not) who chooses cunty bitchy behavior.

    One key part of her backstory that potentially explains some of her attitude and behaviour, is that she grew up very wealthy and went to an exclusive Catholic private school in Atlanta (interestingly Mik also has a similar background). There’s a video somewhere of Katya saying she’s a brat who complained that her parents only bought her an apartment and not a whole house!

    My personal problem with Fashion Photo Review wasn’t how mean Violet or Gottmik was but because in a situation like that, Violet works best with someone who has a different perspective and can push back like Trixie and Katya. Violet and Mik’s perspective are too similar and they inform each other’s opinions too much. They work together well on their podcast because they can decide what they want to do and they do stuff that makes both of their personalities shine. But with a formal review show, they need someone who can give more back and forth.

      When it was Violet and Gotmik, it was too much mean girl energy and kind of changed the vibe. Violet could have read ok on it if she were on with someone like Kerri who gives more auntie energy

  • @hiyahandsome
    @hiyahandsome 2 ปีที่แล้ว +324

    I really liked The Pit Stop episode Violet did with Trixie, but I think Trixie's secret power has always been her ability to bring out the best in other queens, hence her resounding success with Katya. The tenor of Fashion Photo RuView with Violet & Gottmik seemed to take a darker turn than previous incarnations, which was pretty on brand for Violet. I don't know that much about Gottmik, who did come across a bit as a lap dog even though she did make some choices that were different than Violet's. But the producers should have known very well that this could happen, and that Violet can be too spicy for her own good, so she may have benefitted from a more tempering co-host that could have kept the show on a more even keel. That said, I think it's too bad that all the Season 7 All Stars All Winners episodes of Fashion Photo RuView are not on TH-cam and that fan backlash is the reason. We are drag queens for heaven's sake! How can fans take all this stuff so seriously?!? Live, laugh, love dahlings!

Most ppl act like Violet's so terrible but some fans have said she's sweet. I saw a video of her hanging out talking to Biqtch Puddin(they were both out of drag)and Violet agreed with BP when she said that she'd rather ppl call her buy her boy name when out of drag? Paul is the real person and Violet is her drag persona, but some fans don't know how to differentiate the two? Ijs

    My issue with Violet as far as the “scandal” is that Violet thinks only her aesthetic works. The looks she booted weren’t bad she just didn’t like them. High fashion drag isn’t the only drag. I’m sure they expected her to use her fashion knowledge to offer insight but instead she was snarky and overly opinionated. Raven can be strongly opinionated too but she’ll explain why she feels that way and it goes beyond “smaller waist” “different shoes” “I just want something else”

    Violet’s opinion on Fashion Photo Ruview were entertaining. That’s her job and she did great. I don’t think Gottmik worked as the co host as she mainly echoed Violet’s opinions. The pit stop with Trixie was one of the best when Violet was brutally honest.

All I know of her is what I see on TV and online, so in her most intimate moments she may be very lovely. But as someone looking in, I have no desire to know someone like her. Just seems like a really better than thou kind of person. Plus personally I feel that Dita Von Teese does what she does better. She took her look and gig so it doesn't impress me. Just my opinion. I could be completely off here but it is how I feel.

I think not sure also she’s the first drag queen to walk high fashion runways with moschino then she walked prada. She is the first drag queen to have a drag show in a fashion event. Every fashion week session she gets invited and dress with high end fashion brands. I watched season 7 back when it aired 2015 and she was my pick to be the winner since episode 1 when she walked totally nude except for a duct tape and said she hates Michelle because she’s that bitch

    I honestly do not understand the backlash Violet and Gottmik received, considering Raven is known as one of the bitchiest and most bitter Queens to ever come out of this franchise (still claiming Tyra's win after all these years? Let it go, gurl), and Raja was rather an elitist herself during S3 (just ask Shangela and Stacey Lane Matthews). Why are they entitled to look down at other Queens for their fashion without anyone even caring, but when they're the ones being given critique fans go crazy?

    I don’t like the attitude. It helps breed other hatreds in American popular culture.
    Joan Rivers and Bianca are entertainers whose “hate” is an act. They don’t love everyone, but most of their attention has some love and respect in it.
    Violet is mean spirited for real. I think she will be a footnote in drag herstory…..not a chapter like Raja, Bianca or Jinx.
    I hope she finds some peace and joy in her life. And depth of character. Respect is a given, but it needs to be nurtured and maintained. Shade is not a defense of shallow, mean spirited and shameful behavior.

    I think violet is extremely talented and a gifted artist. I also think their aloof air of superiority is who they are and they shouldn’t be dragged for it. To me the bigger concern is how a lot of younger queens and fans don’t grasp how much drag has changed in such a short period of time, and don’t seem to respect those who came before them. They travel to their gigs on a road paved by those queens.

  • @FluffieXStarshine
    @FluffieXStarshine 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think the problem with Fashion photo ruview was that Violet and Mik have too close of a style. Where you have Raja and Raven who have different styles and personalities, Raja more serious and Raven more funny, they make a nice pair. Even when they had Raja and Mik it was a fun combo where one had an older look at things and the other a younger. Violet worked well with Trixie and Katya because they were both comedy queens, where Mik is more of a fashion queen similar to Violet. Also a number of the "hot takes" were on some vintage style or older references which I think went right over their heads ... another reason to have one of the queens be more mature, so that they actually got the references. Did they deserve death threats and hate over it? No, that is never an okay response, and it makes me sad that the fans get that crazy over the opinion of an outfit.

I love Raja, and like all of her fans I wanted to see her do well on all stars. But in a way that mademe wanna see her looks scrutinized more - thats what makes for good entertainment. So I dont get why people came for violet and gotmik for doing what the whole show is about. On Violet's season I like a lot of didn't love her but as the season went on it was undeniably clear she is freaking talented and I absolutely love to see her drag. like maybe we wouldnt be besties IRL but she is fierce and smart and I admire her for that.

How ridiculous to pretend that there's some sort of definitive 'right' decision. It's fashion, just like food , some will like it, some won't. It's a show where people are paid to give their opinion. Who on earth is so fragile they can't hear someone's opinion, agree or disagree and then move on? If you think the reviewers are consistently wrong (or have an agenda you don't agree with), just stop watching.

    I have no issues with Violet. I read comments that said that she is obnoxious and was rude even on her season. I think she was misunderstood much like Pearl. They both have very offbrand senses of humour where its very deadpan and if you don't know how to read that you can easily look at either of them and say they are awful people. I will say I was a bit weirded out to see Got Mik and Violet together for Ruview, they both have deadpan humour and when 2 people have that it can come across as very aggressive.
    Side note didn't learn much more about her. Is her stint in fashion mentioned at the beginning purely in modelling or does she also design because she always had a eye for that and that was what I was more keen to see if it existed.

  • @roseabeeherringbone7264
    @roseabeeherringbone7264 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like others have said, I don't think FPR success stems on one queen, but the pairings. Violet with Trixie or Katya works because they are so different and one presenters style compliments the other (plus, Trixie & Katya are as funny AF), but I found her pairing with Gottmikk boring. Another extremely underrated pairing was Morgan and Mayhem, which I would love to see again, because again, they were hilarious, but the classic pairing has to be old skool Raja and Raven, in a studio together, giving great observations whilst ripping the sh*t out of the contestants and each other. Raja, please come back! 🥺💔
