2. The OFFICIAL Shade Button
World of Wonder The Official Shade Button
‘The shade of it all’ – Latrice Royal, ‘I call shade’ – Trinity the Tuck, ‘No T, no shade, no pink lemonade’ – Jasmine Masters. Shade is as much a part of Drag Race as the wigs that queens bring in their suitcases. A shade button is instrumental for being able to highlight these iconic moments as you are watching. What is shade? Let’s let the legendary Dorian Corey explain: shade derives from “reading”, the “real art form of insults.” Shade is a developed form of reading: “Shade is, I don’t tell you you’re ugly. But I don’t have to tell you, because you know you’re ugly. And that’s shade.”
