Tonya here, this is my lip sync for your life video. This was the FIRST time performing to Proud Mary. I have never performed Proud Mary in all the years I did girl drag. I had to learn this song in a week. A couple of times I was purposely up in the camera because I wanted to purposely show that I can lip sync for my life and that I wanted to show the judges, Arik and all of you that I knew my words (ALWAYS KNOW YOUR WORDS) Haha.

I know I wasn't as high energy dancing and bucking the house down like my sister Ira in her lip sync for your life video. I love to dance but I'm not a dancer so I remember what our judge Brazil said last week in judges critiques, if you "try" to dance and your up against someone that CAN dance, it's not going to look so good. So, I decided instead of dancing to the uptempo part, I will walk and strut in the slow part before it sped up.

Side note on our song, Proud Mary is one of Arik's FAVORITE songs. I hope I didn't disappoint Arik.

WATCH THE FULL VIDEO UNTIL THE VERY END TO SEE MY OUTGOING MESSAGE AT THE VERY END.

I can say I had MY "Valentina moment" in ACVDR just like in RPDR. Haha.

RuPaul: Take that off...
Valentina: I like to leave it on....
Others: She doesn't know her words...

After last week, the first week, I was on such a high last week. I crashed and I hit a wall this week. I didn't mean to disappoint anyone if I disappointed. Thank you to those of you for all the support and love since I started this project.

My Arik Cavalli's Virtual Drag Race sister, Ira and I are in the bottom two this week. I wish my sister the best of luck. Show her some love this week. I wish all my ACVDR Brothers and Sisters the best of luck this week. This is to find out who's in the TOP 7. We find out tomorrow night at 8. Watch the show tomorrow night to see what happens. You never know what might happen. I'm praying that Arik keeps us both this week since our brother Jayzeer left us prematurely this week for unseen circumstances. We wish him to get better. Anyways, I can always hope Arik keeps us both this week. Right?! I'm saying my prayers now that that's the case.

Whatever happens tomorrow night, I will make a post tomorrow night after eliminations. No matter what happens, I won't be ugly and I won't be bitter and I won't be drama. I HATE IT MOST WHEN COMPETITION TURNS UGLY. I know being in the biz off and on the last 23 years, that sometimes that that's what happens but it doesn't have to turn that way.

Any ways, there will be 6 of us that will be sleeping well tonight knowing their SAFE tomorrow. The other 2 will be tossing and turning all night not knowing what's going to happen tomorrow. Pray we get sleep tonight.

Love you's and shout out's to... I love you my ACVDR Brothers and Sisters. I love you my ACVDR family. I love you Arik. Love to you and love to all our ACVDR Judges.

Not saying this to say this, I don't want to see my Sister Ira eliminated but I don't want to be eliminated either. IF it had to be any of my ACVDR Brothers and Sisters to be up against and in the bottom 2, I'm glad it was Ira. She's been such a backbone this Season to all of us. If Ira sends me home tomorrow, I'm glad it was Ira that sent me home. She's such a incredible artist. All 12 of us are incredible artists in our own way.

Once after we were all cast this first Season, I had such a strong family connection with Ira when we all first met. I know I will always have that connection with her. I have a certain connection with all my ACVDR family. I'm so happy to be apart of this with all of them.

- I'm aways bringing the party when I don't bring the party. Haha. 🤟🥳

Love always, Tonya/Archie ACVDR Season 1 Cast Member. ACVDR Season 1, TOP 8. Xo 🙏❤

Archie - : My Season is Summer. I'm Summer. I'm bringing you Summer realness in the Coronavirus/COVID-19 era. When you think of Summer, you think of the Sun, heat, hot, flames. I'm all that with the oranges and the reds in my look. Funny out of the 4 Seasons, I picked Summer. I actually hate Summer. Haha. Summer is long, hot and boring. Haha. My favorite Season is Fall because of all the Holidays. Haha. Last week, I was fun and funny and I was dressed up. This week, I wanted to show Arik, the judges and all of you a different side of me by being serious, dressing down, showing skin and giving the heat. Also, this week I wanted to show off my work and my creativity with my knitting and crocheting which I'm best known for. The next couple weeks I won't be able to show off that side of me and so it was now or never. Here's your Summer check off list. Summer goals. Summer is around the corner. Be sure to wear your shades and don't be throwing shade around. Make sure to wear the sunscreen so you don't get burned. Most important, have fun, show skin and show off that hot body. As always, I plan to bring it every week. I'm bringing the party. I'm bringing the heat and I'm heating it up this week. Hopefully I'm hot enough with my Summer heat this week to be safe and see week 3. Haha
