      Its not about recycling. Its about nostalgia. And not many ppl can wear same dress almost 30yrs later and still look that STUNNING.

      Yeah, probably because this was made by VH1 which was an established channel and the first season of Drag Race I’m pretty sure was made by Logo which was MUCH less established and probably didn’t have anywhere near as much money.
