In the famous words of RuPaul, “Good luck… and don’t f**k it up!”

TLC is enlisting four former contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race to revamp the lives of individuals prepping for their special day in the new makeover series Dragnificent. 

According to The Wrap, the new show will follow BeBe Zahara Benet, Jujubee, Thorgy Thor and Alexis Michelle as they help ‘Dragnificent’ participants “re-imagine their appearance for a special day and reveal themselves as they have only dreamed, while taking viewers on a touching journey of their life and struggles up to this point.”

“Whether it be a bride who wants to feel beautiful walking down the aisle, an alumna who wants to strut her stuff at an upcoming high school reunion, or a woman coming to terms with her new body after losing a massive amount of weight, there is nothing our queens can’t tackle,” TLC announced. “No matter how big the event or transformation, our fairy godmothers are just the team needed to give these people the confidence, courage and grace they need to be their best at the biggest moments of their lives.”

    Apparently I did school her, since she corrected the mistake. Thank you Chelsea for listening and bettering yourself and your writing instead of taking offence like some people would. I really did not wont to be mean but genuine explain it to you and I’m glad you got that. As for my writing, English is not my first lenguage so of corse I made some mistakes. How many languegues are you fluent in?

    Chelsea it wrong to say their “born” name, it still their real name, and the girls name is the name of their performance name. They are all boys in real life not trans.
