The Big Picture During the "Meet the Queens" promo for RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16, Taiwanese contender Nymphia Wind somehow manifested her win on the reality competition series. Having disclosed that she placed first in most of the competitions she's been in, the banana queen uttered, "We shall see" — and she did let us in for quite an exhilarating ride.
“Asia and Taiwan, I hope I made you proud.” Those were the heartfelt words Nymphia Wind said as she accepted her crown. True to her culture, the queen chose to don a Boba Tea-inspired ensemble for the lip sync for the crown performance to Kylie Minogue's "Padam Padam." On Instagram, Nymphia Wind wrote that the crown is not just for her but for both Asia and her home country.
"East Asians, or Asians in general in Western media, aren't represented that much. Think of an Asian pop star in western culture. You can't really name one. There are so few of them. It meant a lot to hold that representation and space in this competition.
