Drag on a Dime
RuPaul's Drag Race Season 1

Drag queens compete in an elimination contest hosted by the noted drag performer and featuring celebrity judges. The winner is crowned "The Next Superstar Drag Queen of the World." The opener introduces the nine hopefuls, who then pose (with scantily clad car-wash hunks) for photographer Mike Ruiz and create "drag on a dime" outfits from items found in dollar and thrift stores. Ruiz and designer Bob Mackie are the guest judges, joining regular judges Merle Ginsberg and Santino Rice.
