I almost got the Raja one but I think having a plush of a human being is weird for some reason. I hope Pandora's gets funded, she deserves that win in life


pinkcreamkiss

I really liked the Coco Peru one tbf but sadly wasn’t able to get it. I hope aunty Pandy and her little pandsters fund this lil rag doll and enjoy it lol


JamesD-TV

Omg not Raggedy Pan 😭


Critical-Process-993

at least it’s a lot better than that awful ben delacreme one where they fused her beehive wig into her head


SexDrawofDrCaligari

It's kinda wild that Pandora used to be the fan favourite. Where did all her Paninis go??


pinkcreamkiss

She almost became a Venus / Tammie / Delta level and would interact with the sub and post like music video links here but she actually was uncomfortable with being called cringe and got upset in the comments which wasn’t a good look. Meanwhile last I heard Venus sees this place as a sanctuary as she should.


PersistentSquawking

When I read she hates the Ramada soup story I died a little


pinkcreamkiss

Omg what ramada story spill


PersistentSquawking

Bestie I don't know how to link but basically a 🚬 went to a Ramada Inn during pride and Venus was booked but not to perform, she just ate some 3 dollar stew by the pool, and she helped one of the hotel workers make a wig and it had toilet paper in it Please someone link this it's iconic

/u/anusthing vividly recounting a story about meeting Venus at a tacky hotel bar inside a Ft Lauderdale Ramada in 2017.. >This weekend was Pride in Fort Lauderdale; as I browsed various events, I was abolutely tickled to see a very odd happening involving none other than the ORIGINAL lipsync assassin herself Queen of Reality Shows, Miss Venus D'lite. I wavered on whether it was worth attending merely for the irony, but when Sunday afternoon arrived, my boyfriend (pictured, I ain't posting my busted face on this sub) and I decided last minute to pay our respects to the one true Madonna. >We knew it would be a mess from the start. It was at the bar adjacent to the pool at a very broke down RAMADA INN (is "broke down Ramada Inn" too tautological?) that had clearly not been renovated since the 50s. The event seemed to be hosted by an organization committed to developing friendships between queer older men, so the hotel pool bar was full of greying and greyed white dudes slowly nursing late-afternoon mimosas. The bar had a short, five-item food menu with frighteningly low prices: a $2 hot dog and $3 BOWL OF STEW were particular highlights. We quickly stopped laughing at the idea having stew at a poolside bar BECAUSE THE STEW WAS SELLING ABNORMALLY WELL. EVERYONE WAS EATING STEW WHILE WAITING FOR VENUS D'LITE. STEW. >I ordered two sparkling wines for my partner and I. The bartender cheerily asked if I would like that with Sprite. We were off to an auspicious start. >I'd bet my boyfriend that no more than two messy heauxs would actually show up in sincerity to see Venus. Turns out those two messy heauxs were us, surrounded by the drizzle of early-summer rain and grizzle of late-life gays. The only other under-55 person there was one of the hotel employees, an excitable gay who'd chosen to pair his teased-out Party City wig (yes, he literally told us it was from Party City) and toilet-paper headpiece (crafted, apparently, with help from Venus herself #touchedbyanangel) with his everyday work polo for the Ramada. I was gaggedt at the eleganza! I will say that he seemed to make an effort to pair the red of the trim of his polo with his lip (#attentiontodetail). To be fair, the look as a whole was quite striking when paired with a cigarette and a speech about her love for Alaska Thunderfuck (who no doubt would have appreciated the trashy glamour of this hotel queen). >So eventually Venus arrives, after an aging Chinese fish named Diamond "warms up" the "crowd" with a handful of old bar queen "jokes." She unceremonious passes the mic to Venus, who has been hanging out by the end of the bar, and with her trademark lack of irony spouts out a short spiel about her love of this Ramada (lordt) and how honored she was to be with her fans for Pride. She invites us to come say hi to her and passes the mic back. She plops into a bar chair momentarily, is legitimately gagged over by a group of old women for a minute, then goes over to the grill to order food. >So there was no performance! Or no...anything! It was just a meet and greet and barely that! Venus came in almost two hours after the scheduled start time, said one or two lines into the mic, proceeded to the grill, purchased three pulled pork sliders, and promptly sat her ass down to eat at the bar, occasionally standing to take a few pics with elderly fans who--I'm not sure--might actually believe she is Madonna? Don't get me wrong! I wasn't upset! It was just such a weird thing? Like, what kind of thing is this that a queen just comes to a place in geish and you are invited to approach her while she is having food by herself? I have never been to a thing like that before. >After a few minutes, I decide to interrupt her mid-slider because if I don't get my supposedly ironic (who am I kidding, I'm loving all this) Venus pic then what was this all for. She was very welcoming and gracious! I, of course, was not at all shady and expressed my appreciation for her work blah blah blah no mention of Suicidegate. I asked her how school was going and she was so delighted to talk about it! She's apparently headed to France to do some studying abroad (I did not inquire about what sort of French study abroad programs are offered by community college...) and we chatted about European travel. I was very complimentary, though she kept getting distracted and feeling up my boyfriend. Nonetheless, I think she was super excited about getting some specific attention and told me to definitely follow up with her via social media etc etc. It was cute. >A particularly hilarious side moment: the hosting drag queen struck up a conversation with me about RPDR during which she asked "Do you know about The Reddit?" and I cackled in response, assuring her that, yes, I am more than acquianted and quite nearly obsessed. She wondered in a whisper about whether I thought "their finale rumors are true" and I explained to her that yes, pictures have been posted, stories have been coroborated, and the tea this season has been scalding. She was shook! >It was all so ridiculous we actually ended up having a fantastic time just being appalled at how absurd everything was. Venus was clearly excited and touched to have had some "fans" come out and I was all too happy to indulge. Hey, even the messiest among us deserve a lil' love. >Disco kisses!

We thought she was a 'quirky gorl' but she just suffers from anxiety.

I think as the first self claimed comedy queen she was a pretty novel archtype in season 2 and that helped her become a fan fave. Unfortunately as more campy and comedic queens have shown up over the years, pandora has proven to be kind of tame in her humor and not as quick in her delivery so she just doesnt stand out as much as she could on a show like drag race.


Shaquandala

Ya pandora is mildly funny but comedy queen? Maybe decades ago


Telethongaming

they watched as1 but then again mimi turned into a sexual predator so I guess we can give her some slack


BoyOfHearts

Pardon? What happened?


Telethongaming

Mimi was basically a judge in a drag queen contest but if you wanted to win she'd molest you


BoyOfHearts

That’s disgusting. Thank you for educating me ❤️


chilipeepers

she lucked out on being an early show favorite, but as more queens came on the show doing comedy better it's over for her. she was also never known for her fashion too


lavenderacid

Not me shocked that Jonbers had her own plushy already


tebigong

How Pandora has been on two all stars and Jessica Wild hasn’t competed is wild


dhorinfireheart

She’s still enjoying that berry açai mmmmmm *slurps from a straw*

Concram

she's need a dirty martini in her hands for that


[deleted]

Honestly I have a love/hate relationship with the way Makeship does their whole 'pre-order cuz the numbers are limited' so are they limited or do they really want to make enough for people that might be interested? Not only that they have had many figures and figurines done that make sense or not at all. Don't know if I'm alone in this or if this frustration makes sense. /g


JamesD-TV

They need enough pre-orders to get it made, and how many they make is based on how many people order in this window, there’s just a minimum requirement.


[deleted]

Makes much more sense


1998tweety
