After Freaj's elimination...
Welcome to week 3 my queens! I apologise for the long wait for challenge 3. Habbo's next drag superstar needs to have connections and be able to communicate well with others. That's why this week you must work together in pairs to produce a conjoined twins look. You may pose together in any position as to create the illusion of being conjoined. As the Habbo squares limit how close you can get to each other I will be editing you both to conjoin as you wish (a simple closing of the gap). I will be looking for storytelling with these looks and how well you play off each other. While there may be many similarities, this is not an identical twins challenge. The key is to have individuality while still matching your partner.
Both members of the winning pair will receive a challenge win and the weakest member of the bottom pair will be going home. So remember that while you must understand each other's ideas, take care of yourself first. As this challenge requires coordination and communication you will be given a full week to prepare. I am letting you choose your own partners as you may be able to pair with someone in a similar timezone. Remember, while the logistics are more difficult this week, there are 2 minds at work on your looks which means an easier creative process. If you are struggling for ideas just meet up with your partner and see what they are thinking. You may submit separately, without your partner, if you need to. If you need to contact me outside of Habbo find me on Discord as alydaman#7610.

Dulphys AKA Egg Fried Fanny
Welcome to your third judging panel ladies! I won't lie to you, this week was a MESS! First of all, Jozinga has been disqualified for not submitting and replaced by Dulphys (winner of seasons 6, 10 and 19 of my shortterms as well as placing top 3 a few times). Dulphys is an original alumni of alydaman's Drag Race and drag race royalty. So welcome home queen! This will be the last week I will be replacing quitters as It will start getting messy. NO. MORE. PAIR. CHALLENGES... EVER! As for Jozinga, he was the front runner so it is a shame to see him go. He served two excellent looks but has made his choice. The winner of alydaman's Drag Race is going to be someone with commitment and dedication and I will leave it at that.
On a positive note, I would like to welcome our beautiful and talented guest judge Xenid. A queen who never fails to produce polished and exquisite looks and has always been a quality competitor and designer.
And I am delighted to announce that Lidl-Wayne will be returning as a permanent judge for the rest of the season. My Lidl Visage <3. He will provide opinions that are different to mine and with hilarious commentary. I have decided that he is essential.

alydaman: I think both outfits are designed well in a subtle fashionable way and you definitely match each other while remaining individuals. Mimi, I love the detail on the chest and the hair with that hat. It oozes personality and I can tell you are the fashionista twin. Beetah, I think you could have pushed the scraps from your twin idea more and gone ALL the way. Literally make it look like rags hanging off you. So I think that was a missed opportunity and the result is that the storyline isn't really realised. But I have to give you both major props for being the ONLY pair to submit before the original deadline, and in good time. That shows you are both pros at communication and coordination which was what I was trying to draw from you all this challenge.
Lidl-Wayne: Left: love the textures on the top, mysterious. That scarf has been shamed so much in history but you bring it back by the right use. The hat is overkill and that skirt-shoe combo has been done to death. Learn how to pull yourself back and yet take more risks.
Right: OH WERK. That dress is so unorthodox and nice. You mix elements beautifully into a unique dress, the belt is my favorite part. I don’t love that baby yellow shoe though
Xenid: Nice concept, but I feel like you both could have executed it better. I'm not really getting a big contrast between high fashion and scraps. The scraps version actually gives me more grandma vibes than anything.

alydaman: The conjoined ponytail is the highlight here. It is so beautiful the way they flow into each other. I love the striking colour scheme and I do get a sense of the different personalities. As for the storyline of detailed twin and minimalistic twin, I found that rather boring and it produced boring outfits. Egg Fried Fanny I like the shoulder details and how they are replicated on Vantè's skirt. However, I think you both could have done a lot more with a side angle.
Lidl-Wayne: Left: OMFG!!! The sleeve detail amazes me and that coinjoined ponytail idea is fucking brilliant. This dress is a lot but it works, this was not the time to scale back so props to you. Love the color palette, amazing job this week.
Right: oh wow, that’s stunning. You’ve created an illusion of leather and the top is like 60’s MOD. A bit retro looking. I am deeply impressed, kudos for the ponytail idea. My only tip would’ve been a black heel
Xenid: Smart idea the union by the ponytail and use of this pose, it really gives it that symmetry that is perfect for this challenge. Outfit wise, it falls somewhere in between for me, doesn't amaze me, but it is no bad either.

alydaman: The moment you submitted this I was wowed, just like last week with you Discord, you know how to pack that WOW factor into a look. And when others submit mediocre looks and you come in with a statement piece like this it really makes an impact. The conjoined idea is genius. Really well done. Using just the head opened up a whole new way to create an outfit using hats. That is exactly what I look for with these challenges. Contestants pushing the boundaries of what is possible in outfit creation. Mary you picked all the perfect elements to compliment this look, the big hair, the makeup, roses and colour scheme... And that expression helps create the character. The feathers with the roses and skulls and deep red creates a freakshow meets dia de los muertos feel. When you are layering on themes and references like that successfully into one look, you have achieved something special. Mary I know you were worried about this look but I think you were right to ultimately trust Discord's judgement and I think you worked together very maturely. Well done both!
Lidl-Wayne: Top: well, I feel like Uhu makes most of the outfit. I don’t know if the bare breast was a good idea, probably. I dig the roses. Not much to critique.
Bottom: amazing idea, both of you. But again this is a drag competition, you can play with gender but this is a straight up man face I’m looking at, beards can look fierce if you balance it with femininininity. Love the bottom rose piece and the skull earrings
Xenid: This is not only such a great idea, it was executed to perfection. The height, position of the head in relation with the feather headpiece, makes it look like part of the dress just perfectly. The props and overall mood. Love it all, a showstopper. Best one for me this week.

alydaman: Well, the climb continues for you two. This is a stunning improvement for BOTH of you. Together you have achieved greatness. I love the poppy colours and chest details. I'm getting obvious references to IT with the balloons. I love the way your eyes are shown through the balloons, that is a really cool effect that elevates the look. Raesia I like the orange straps behind all the blue. Salt'N'Pippaz I love the construction of your outfit and the blue wig works perfectly. The way you are conjoined is rather basic but other than that a solid, weird and wacky submission.
Lidl-Wayne: Very poor imagination when it comes to conjoining. If you're gonna be conjoined by the shoulders at least have it be the same color, you guys look like you just stand next to each other. I hate this Halloweeny carnival clown-esque theme, I like absolutely nothing about both of you. You are both mismatched, I guess the blue wig is cute and that there are nice textures on the left outfit
Xenid: Fun and bright duo. Visually pleasing to my eye; cute use of balloons as props.

alydaman: This is so bad. Like this is bad even for bad looks. This is worse than Anita Dick's bin bag. In fact this belongs in that bin bag. You were conjoined by the head but what you really needed to be conjoined to was a brain so you would reconsider submitting this. The colours are ugly and clash. You basically are wearing the same look with an accessory and skirt change. Frankly, I'm over you both. You are supposed to be good designers and you can't even be bothered to read challenges or submit on time. Santi, I had to threaten you so you would submit last week and everything you have submitted has been mediocre at best. Tribble, you were given a 3rd chance last week after having been the latest to submit after the deadline and basically only doing half the challenge. While we're here I want to explain to the others that the reason Challenge 3 took so long to be posted is partly down to you two completely destroying my excitement for it.
Lidl-Wayne: I really don't understand this. I dig the skirts, but let Robbie Turner tell you a story about FLATS. Easily the weakest pair this week. Ain't much to critique here, and what there is to critique is just tragic
Xenid: To me, the melanin + hair situation sounds like a witty idea; but just on paper. First time I saw this outfit, I was really confused. The outfits do not speak to me in any level, I find them really dull. A clever idea that got lost in translation.

alydaman: I love the nose conjoining, I think that's hilarious. I also love that the shape of the belt is mimicked on the pink look. The inspiration being the Joanne and Bad Romance Gaga eras is cute but there could have been more obvious relation between your twins. These may be cousins. I do love how the blonde hair is down on one and pushed up on the other, that's an interesting contrast. Shopjeen, as you did all the work this week I want to give you props. Armani, Shopjeen saved you this week and as it's a pair challenge I will allow it. But this is unacceptable for you to leave it up to someone else and I will be watching you closely next week. Two weeks in a row you have dropped to the bottom of the pack and you won't have another chance. I expect something amazing next week.
Lidl-Wayne: Left: Easily the most hilarious and entertaining pair of conjoined queens. Brilliant. I love the dress, the classic combination of pink and white (a bit Pearl), it's just beautiful and elegant mixed with comedy. Well done
Right: I wish you guys we're a bit more color combinated, I know it's unfair to give you that critique but pink/white is so in harmony here even though I really dig your outfit. I must say though, if you're gonna do a diagonal pose I wanna see loads of textures you play with, this is a B- when it could've been an A+ had you gone with a more daring silhouette. This is a Tuesday for Lady Gaga
Xenid: Ingenious conjunction idea. Cute homage to Lady Gaga, nicely portrayed. Would I have liked to see something more original outfit wise? Yes. But overall, not a bad effort.

Discord Trailortrash & Mary-Lynn Monroe: Your conjoined carnival look was in full bloom this week.
Raesia & Salt'N'Pippaz: They all float down here, but you are no longer floating through the competition!
Santi Chanel & Tribble: Your twins may be conjoined, but they had the judges wishing they were separated from the competition.
Discord Trailortrash & Mary-Lynn Monroe, Condragulations you are the winners of this week's challenge. You have both won an exclusive luxury spa retreat at the Pyongyang underground resort in North Korea.
Santi Chanel & Tribble, I'm sorry my dears but you have both been eliminated. The positive that you can take away from this is at least now the season will jump in quality, thank you. Now, sashay away...
