Bimini Bon-Boulash, babes. A new fashion darling. Everyone’s obsessed. We live for the insane runway looks served on RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K. season two, inspired by Vivienne Westwood, Pam Anderson, East London, and the like. Bimini may have only gotten to runner-up with Mama Ru, but we think they’re the tops. We cannot wait to read Bimini’s part-autobiography, part–self-help book, Release the Beast: A Drag Queen’s Guide to Life, out this fall. But first, let’s talk about boots, as Bimini reviews the season’s best.

“I absolutely die from the drama at the front of the shoe. The point is so exaggerated and elongated. She is for the club, she is for the music video, she is not playing around. You can wear her with literally nothing, if you want to be that bitch.”
