While I love the detail-oriented authenticity of their home, I don't think I could ever give up my color set for a black-and-white version. After all, RuPaul's Drag Race just wouldn't be the same without all Read more

First of all, I have to take a moment to acknowledge how adorable this kitchen is. From the enamel cookware to the vintage cookie tins and fabric curtain, it's perfectly restored to reflect its era.
