Rumour has it the recordings will start this Monday!!
Arriving in the UK right in time for the anti Brexit march, Rupaul might have been pleasantly surprised that so many signs carried her image or variations on famous Drag Race quotes.
Yes, Drag Race fans made a point in turning out with some amazing banners to tell Brexit to sashay away!
Here are some of the best.

Poland are also using Ru Queens for a campaign. Sadly this one is not good.
The images of Alyssa Edwards and Trixie Mattel are being used in a far right campaign against homosexuality. We hope this usage will soon be stopped!
@AlyssaEdwards_1
I noticed, that in one polish newspaper (@GPtygodnik) there's a picture of you used in a quite unfavorable context. Here's the picture along with a translation of the headline and the preface pic.twitter.com/tn0Nh4LQbJ— mar (@marwut1) March 22, 2019
Polish fascists are trying to frighten people with the idea that @AlyssaEdwards_1 and @trixiemattel would bring up their children. People in the comments agree that that would be pretty awesome #ThingsReactionariesSayThatWouldBeAwesomeOfTheyWereTrue pic.twitter.com/fqwPIi6Vqm
