Maya Jama made a special guest appearance on the judging panel for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK on Thursday, 25 Feb., alongside Graham Norton, Michelle Visage, and Ru, of course.

Her outfit from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is the Auné Trompe L’œil Draped Asymmetric Bandeau Top V2 in orange, paired with the brand’s Mesh Print Midi Skirt, and the mat...
Joey Jay Is Bumping Lady Gaga, Pabllo Vittar & More For Her ‘Drag Race’ Elimination Playlist
Even if she didn’t walk away with the crown, Jay can confidently walk away with the title of trade of the season, from queens and fans alike. As silly as that title may be, Jay says she’s actually been quite touched being referred to as “trade,” considering that she doesn’t necessarily fit the hyper-masculine standard for the term. “I will disagree that I am trade, but I will take it,” she explains. “I just think it’s showing like we’re growing as a community, that you don’t have to be like a 300 lb. macho-man who played some football to be considered very attractive.” At the end of the day, Jay may be disappointed that she couldn’t go further, but says the fact that she was able to represent a very different sty...
