Okay, so as I said in my entries, it's kind of obvious that I am right now obsessed with Sharon Needles. And I present you ... Sharon Needles moments! From the first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 4 episode 1 : The RuPocalypse.




First Entrance
I did NOT try to find out who the contestants are before watching the episode. I've seen Sharon's promotional pictures a couple of times, but again, I wasn't paying attention or try to remember who that was. When she walked into the room (she was second before last), I was not ready for it, lol. Look at the way she walks!






She is super weird! This is the first episode, first appearance, you would want to capture the viewer's attention. But instead of going all glamor, all out like some other contestants, she was there with a simple short black dress, pale make-up, black lipstick, white contacts, and a witch's hat. Very Marylin Manson-ish. I think the gloves give the right touch for this look. Since her look is very different with others, it really, really set her apart. Anyway, when she started talking though, she seemed to be a very fun and funny person.




Photoshoot
Time for a photoshoot with Mike Ruiz! I loved this conversation she had with Ru, but it was not as interesting when I tried to get caps for it, so just transcript :

Ru : Sharon Needles
Sharon : Hi, Ru!
Ru : Didn't I meet you at the free clinic?
Sharon : I think so. I quit going, it's so expensive.

The queens were asked to clean themselves from paint sprays and make-up, and that would be the end of day 1. Sharon walked into the room and told everybody about how she sometimes wear some 'nonsense'.


Jiggly said she creeped her the fuck out and she felt like she need to pray the rosary when talking to her. Though, when it was announced that Jiggly won the mini challenge, Sharon was the first to congratulate her, how sweet is that?



Zombie Scene
They brought the contestants in their daylight drag to this abandoned hotel.


I really like Sharon's look in this scene. The pink hair, the t-shirt and the green stocking/leggings. I love everything, I just love the overall ensemble.



Ru announced that they're going to have to make a Post Apocalyptic Couture look for their first runway. They can use their own wigs and undergarment, but they will have to make their costume from material provided by ... DRAG QUEEN ZOMBIES. Notice how happy Sharon was when this was announced :


What's coming is even more hilarious. The contestants were given limited time to gather random stuff from the zombies. Of course things went chaos (or so the scene was edited) and Sharon was running around, talking to the zombies with her pink hair flying.


Seriously, it's ten times funnier when you watch the video. Sadly I don't think I can upload it without getting a copyright infringement notification. And the scene was too busy to make a gif of.

Pep Talk Scene
Ru came in to catch up with the contestants on their post-apocalyptic couture look. Sharon said that her look is going to look like 'Linda Hamilton Beauty and The Beast trapped under the city because of an impending nuclear dust cloud'. Ru asked her to make sure that her ideas read on the runway.


After talking to all of the contestants, Ru made them all gather for an important announcement. They'll be joined by a special guest judge tomorrow. And the guest judge is none other than Elvira, The Mistress of The Dark. Sharon is beyond excited.



Sharon is just happy, y'all.



Before the Runway
Next day, the day of the runway. Sharon (or Aaron) was just walking into the room with her yellow shorts, sunglasses and a plushie. Yeah, just a typical day.


This scene showed the queens' preparation for the runway, and also how they think that Sharon is a freak and is too weak for the competition, blah bidi blah blah. BUT, it also features this scene when The Princess basically said how she adores Sharon's kind of drag and that she's also the kind of guy she'd go for too out of drag.


Comedy. Gold. WHO USES THE PHRASE 'METH LOOK' AS A COMPLIMENT???

Runway
It's runway time! Contestants display their best post-apocalyptic couture outfits. And this is what Sharon came up with :



Time for judging! Sharon's look was one of the best ones, so she was told to stay on stage while 'safe' queens were told to wait backstage.



The queens were told to get back on stage after the judges made their decision. Sharon's look was way ahead of everybody else on stage and she won, yay!


Aside from immunity for elimination next week, Sharon also will receive a prize :


And that, was the end of the first episode.



Gosh this post was a lot of work! I should stop being too ambitious about making these lol.
