* VisualMetaphor: Salina's dress at the Season 15 finale features a spin where she turns around in her PimpedOutDress to display a large slice missing from her rear end, with the inside dyed to look like her body is a cake. This is a double example, in that she is not only referencing her lip sync with Amethyst[[note]]wherein on the lyric "Ooh, let them eat cake!", Salina gestured to her ass[[/note]], but also served as a symbolic olive branch to Ross Matthews.[[note]]Shortly after her exit on the show aired, film surfaced of a rant from Salina at a club, featuring the phrase "you can eat my ass, f[bleep]t". Salina confirmed that inbetween this rant and the finale, [[HeartfeltApology she had apologized and she and Ross were now on good terms]].[[/note]]

Mistress' nailing of this particular style makes her stand out and often lands her praise from the judges.

* LetsGetDangerous: Being relatively inexperienced as a performer, Spice is not much of a lipsyncer, as is clear by her last episode. However, she shows quite a bit of spirit in her lipsync against Salina Estitties, smashing her disco ball accessory on the ground, much to Malaysia's pride and which was referred to with this trope.

We're troping the contestants in their drag personas, or within the narrative of a reality show when out of drag. Pretty Boy is No Real Life Examples Please - we can't add it just because tropers think a real person is cute. If someone else comments on it onscreen, and we can cite that, we may be able to add it back

As per Is This an Example? feedback, No Damage Run is shoehorning. It's a video game trope that only applies when it's stated as a self-imposed challenge at the start of the contest, or when there's some sort of extra prize awarded for achieving it. Nether applies here.


* NoDamageRun: By the finale, Sasha is the frontrunner of the competition with a whopping four maxi challenge wins and zero bottom placements, next to three girls who have each Lipsync'd For Your Life at least once.

* OldSoldier: A highly-decorated and very well respected pageant queen (2012's Miss Continental, for one) with 20 years of drag experience, Sasha's casting was a huge shock to the fanbase when it was first announced -- famously, [[Characters/RuPaulsDragRaceSeason14 Bosco]] claimed on Twitter that it was like "Music/{{Beyonce}} being on ''Series/AmericanIdol.''" Sasha makes a point to reference this in her Meet the Queens video:
-->'''Sasha''': [[BadassBoast I'm your favorite drag queen's favorite drag queen.]]
