    Cosmo hasn’t had this much glamour and sex appeal in ages!

    ^Agreed! It's a classic Cosmo cover, down to the pose.
    I'll even look past the overall kitschiness (green and stars for Christmas and all, lol).

    I find the drag culture aesthetically repulsive, but this cover really looks like a vintage Cosmo cover from the 70s! The dress, the hair, the colours... everything works! I'd take this over a Vogue Paris cover with Rianne any day!

    LOL, why do you find it repulsive? Is it the gaudiness?
    Agreed about the vintage vibe of this cover.

    Exactly, it's too exaggerated and visually aggressive! It's the same reason I can't stand the today's pop music, there's no much difference between a Katy Perry video and a drag queen show.

    Quite a festive cover, oh well it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

    With RuPaul nobody ever really tries. It is a total pity, I can only imagine the possibilities.

    I imagine that RuPaul was originally set to appear on this cover to coincide with the second series of UK Drag Race, but as that's been pushed back, this is just a filler feature to remind people that UK Drag Race will be back on screens at some point.

    Their current layout suits for a teen magazine,
    but the pose and the confidence of RuPaul
    shows the quintessential Cosmo cover girl
    that we are being deprived of for years.

    Hold on, aren't those all Drag Race promo pics? Did they even shoot something for this cover specifically?

    The hair looks too static and the colour doesnt look nice with the green but the pose and composition is nice. The colours too
