This is still one of my most fav transformations! Gotta love Mimi!! :D

[dazem]

the back story of Mimi makes sense psychologically. the reason he tried so hard to be accepted on drag race is because he never felt truly accepted in his past. everyone needs to give him a break. he's been through terrible shit. i'm glad to see he is in a much happier place.

Mimi, thank you for the opening of this video. This info could NOT be more important.

Oh all of you saying things like "oh she's not creative at all! Stealing someone else's idea!" get a grip! A lot of the guests on Transformations do not use original ideas: Jessica Rabbit, Tammy Faye, Divine, etc. Why is it different with Mimi? Y'all have to learn to chill out and stop hating on this person for no reason whatsoever.

I must admit, this was probably one of my most favorite episodes of transformations! Mimi is a fabulous queen and its really awesome to see more people opening up to her and seeing her for whom she really is! You keep going mimi, you are AMAZING!

[Dakakakata]

Mimi is the only person to use Transformations as a philanthropic platform. Incredible. What a wonderful human being. Love her!

[ButterMango]

i feel like mimi gets soo much unnecessary hate

[Ciaraqaqa]

It's no shade that bitch is creative and actually brought that character to life..!!!

The reaction Mimi had Alice came up is the same one I do when I'm at the mall (or anywhere else) with my mother and she meets a friend and they start talking and you don't know what to do or where to look, so you just stand there in the back and wait til its over

[bellystraw]

Just finished watching all stars and just the straight out hate, not of the logical you know "she's a bitch to everyone", like just pure "I just fucking hate you so I won't give you a chance" attitude really pissed me off, I think she could've won if Pandora didn't just have a hissy fit and bail on her. For realz gurls

[cherylreilly]

This is my all time favorite transformation!

[ArabiaFelix]

I appreciate world of wonder giving us the opportunity to know more about Mimi, a highly misunderstood and fierce queen!

[madamebutterfly]

The best part of this episode? !, the Blurring out of james' pit hair, , fucking hilarious!

[rashkasa]

I love MiMi! She gets so much shit for really ridiculous things, but I find her smart, relatable and absolutely creative!

I could never do James St. James makeup, he moves way too much and I'd be standing there like: Look! :D

[bbstaraimee]

OMG James mentioned Witch House!!! <3 lol I'm such a nerd.

[Sway]

for most of the transformation james looked like the more fabulous drag version of zordon the floating head from the power rangers
