There’s a time-venerated subculture on RuPaul’s Drag Race season premieres, while a totally special guest pop queen surprises the drag queens — and it’s the gag of the season. There has been that point while girl Gaga pretended to be Ronnie, “New Jersey’s No. 1 female Gaga impersonator”; that time whilst Miley Cyrus went undercover in boy drag as bearded film team member “Barry Johnson,” aka “BJ”; and that inside-jokey stunt when Christina Aguilera masqueraded as Season 9 contestant Farrah Moan, a connection with a hilarious incident while a style blogger mistook a photo of Farrah at DragCon 2017 for a paparazzi snap of Aguilera at the Met Gala.
But for friday's -component Drag Race Season 15 choicest on new community MTV, the queen of pop and ponytails, Ariana Grande, pulled off the maximum epic and inner-jokey ambush but… regarding the victorious return, or Ru-turn, of Ornacia!
Who’s Ornacia, you ask? Permit me to give you a primer, going all of the way again to 2014, to demonstrate just how properly thought-out this unique Ru-veal become…
So, in Season 6, a contestant named Vivacious most effective placed 12th — but she secured a everlasting vicinity in Drag Race herstory, with what's considered to be one of the most iconic Werk Room entrances of all time. A ‘90s ny club kid who defined her fashion of drag as “dwelling art,” Vivacious experienced a minor cloth cabinet malfunction, ensuing in her screentime being ruled with the aid of her nuclear-wasted-eyed, conjoined-twinning, mannequin-headed sidekick. That Styrofoam dome was named Ornacia, after a lyric from RuPaul's 1993 single “back to My Roots,” and Ornacia in the end have become more well-known than Vivacious herself (and extra famous than several other Season 6 contestants, virtually).
“mom has arrived!” changed into Vivacious’s not on time declaration, once she were given her zipper unstuck — and a classic RPDR catchphrase changed into born. That moment is below, entire with snarky Ru-cap statement from that season’s winner and modern-day "The Pit stop" hostess, Bianca Del Rio:

Got all that? Adequate, then you definately’ll fully appreciate this mom of all Drag Race pranks, while Vivacious (and Ornacia, of course) reputedly sashayed again onto the Season 15 set this week. But then — bang bang, into the Werk Room — it turned out to be Ariana Grande internal that membership-child dress. And it seemed like Ornacia had gone through pretty the glow-up due to the fact 2014.
The 8 contestants who witnessed this Ru-veal — in particular the Brady Bunch-inspired Marcia Marcia Marcia, who’d simply stated Grande as her favorite pop celebrity and “existence icon” — had been understandably thrilled, as Grande, who’d been a visitor decide before on Season 7, advised them: “I think drag is the maximum infectious and joyous artwork form that there's. Thanks men for bringing a lot joy to the lives of the Drag Race lovers and to everybody." Grande additionally instructed RuPaul, “My p***y’s on hearth” — however how turned into her head? I count on there have been no complaints. (That’s any other Drag Race in-shaggy dog story; appearance it up.)
After which, just when matters couldn’t get any extra meta, while the following batch of 8 queens entered the Werk Room, they had been surprised through… the real Vivacious and Ornacia! Mother truly had arrived. Honestly this became all a genius setup for when Ornacia in the long run competes on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars eight later this 12 months, right? But in the meantime, Vivacious is probably approximately to experience a large spike in products income, because according to EW, she sells restrained-edition themed Ornacias for unique events like satisfaction ("Pridenacia"), Valentine's Day ("Valentinacia"), and Halloween ("Hallonacia").
But again to this cutting-edge competition: On Friday’s supersized superior, the display also gave a nod to tug Race herstory with the aid of recreating memorable picture shoots from Seasons 1 and 2, before the sixteen queens competed in a expertise Extravaganza maxi-undertaking. After which, after a lip-sync-for-their-existence showdown among backside contestants Irene Dubois and Amethyst to Grande’s “7 rings,” Irene were given the chop.
