From Then to Now: RuPaul's Drag Race Season 1 Makeup Evolution

Contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race have a thing for saying that the show isn’t ‘RuPaul’s School for Girls’, that’s because it’s actually more like a drag queen boot camp (OK, seriously why hasn’t anyone started one of these in NYC or LA yet?!).

In part one of our ‘From Then to Now: RuPaul’s Drag Race’ series, we’ve collected photos of the season 1 contestants from their time on the show and sit them side-by-site with photos of how they look now. That’s right! It’s time to check in with Bebe Zahara Benet, Nina Flowers, Rebecca Glasscock, Shannel, Ongina, Jade Sotomayor, Akashia, Tammie Brown and Victoria ‘Porkchop’ Parker!

It’s amazing the difference that five years can make!
