Hello baby dolls!

Last episode was emotional for all of us, Queen Janaina was sadly sent home but she will always be remembered. Always.

But we're at the top 4... Lee Lohan... Kenya Swallow... Amani Versace... Katarina Tatia. 

This challenge is very personal to me and many people out there and its about HIV and other STDs. Its a very taboo subject that needs to be touched on. This week, you must prepare a moving speech about how the people in the HIV community are not alone and how they are loved and cared for. I want it to be at least a paragraph long.

Not only that, you will need to also prepare a speech on how YOU deserve to win Dawns Drag Race season 1. You will be judged on both these speeches but mostly the 1st one.

The runway is High Class drag! Crystals, Glimmer, Fabulous! Oh my!

The lip sync song is a very personal and moving song to a lot of us, I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston.

*HIV AND STD SPEECH

http://cdn2.teen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/week-in-review-lindsay-lohan-gifs-8.gif
Hello, everyone i am Ashlee, better known as Lee Lohan here, at drag race.
I am here today to give a speech about those of the people out there with STD'S and other things like HIV,
HIV does not make people dangerous to know, so you can shake their hands and give them a hug: Heaven knows they need it.
Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.
The number of people with HIV receiving Medicare benefits has grown over time, reflecting growth in the size of the of the HIV positive population in the U.S. but also an increased lifespan for people with HIV due to antiretroviral medicines and other treatment advances.
So, yes.. i do feel and worry about people, that are living there life as that, it hurts to know that they are getting treated differently, because of who they are. America, just stop... just stop and look around at all the people, we are letting down because of what they have.. Be better america, show them love, give them love, they are human.. just like us!

I think this was one of the most funnest show out here, that i saw.

HIV / STD SPEECH:

Hello there, it's me.. Kenya Swallow. As you can tell, my name is a play on words, and also a very important thing that happens during sex. Do you know that one bad thing that happens during sex if you aren't careful? HIV / STD's. As much as seems fun to hoe around, and not give a fuck about what you are doing. Make sure you realize that one small mess up, and one mistake, could ruin the lives of any human being possible. HIV is a disease that took the life of 1.1 million + people. People need support, and are afraid to come out about their disease because people think of it as a horrible disgusting disease. People with HIV need comfort and treatment. They feel alone and not a lot of people come out about it because they are afraid and don't feel safe. But as a community, we can come together and help prove that HIV is a disease yes, but no matter what. It doesn't make you a horrible/sick person. They should be treated like humans, because that's what they are. And they should also be treated with respect and not be looked down on.
People need to be more accepting and caring, because with all the love, it could make someone afraid of who they are and what they have, feel even better about it.
Support! <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Reason I should win Dawn's Drag Race S1 is...
I have been a strong queen in this competition. I have won 2 challenges, and been high most of the time ;) I have lip synced. But I have proven I got every single thing a drag queen needs to be proven to be the winner. I didn't serve just fish. I gave you everything you asked for, without hesitation. I have been nice, and I have gave some really good looks. I am confident enough to know that from here on out, I will do whatever it takes to impress you from now and till the end. I haven't been a cheap queen at all. I strictly took time to make my looks, and never once just went on google to play it safe. I own up to my mistakes and proved what it took to be here. It's been a honor to be casted, and I hope I can take this home and be the FIRST winner of Dawn's Drag Race.

HIV/AIDS SPEECH:

When I was a 10, I found out that my uncle had HIV. I asked my dad "Daddy, what's HIV?" and he told me "A horrible disgusting disease that can destroy someone physically and emotionally"
A few months later, I attended my Uncle's Funeral after it progressed into full blown AIDS.
I've heard the homophobes say "I hope you get aids and die" too many times to count in my life. What they don't understand, is that HIV/AIDS is a thing that affects everyone. Not just the LGBT community.  It affects MILLIONS of people. At the end of 2014, 1,107,700 adults and adolescents were living with HIV
When someone learns that they're infected, they think of themselves as monsters. As Villains. As someone with no dignity or respect left, and that isn't true at all. When people learn someone has HIV/AIDS, they will Ostracise that person to the point of suicide. They will make the person feel what they think, that they ARE some sort of monster and that's  just all kinds of fucked up.
Everyone matters, everyone should be cared for and loved. Everyone should be taking precautions and helping to prolong the lives of those who do have HIV/AIDS and help prevent the spread of it. Nobody should ever feel like a monster for what they can't help, for what they cannot change for themselves.
I'm tired of FAKE Support. When someone says they support and love those with HIV/AIDS but then when they figure out someone has it, they stop talking to them and shit. It happens and it pisses me off. You could have any kind of disease, ailment, disability, and I'll love you and give you the support and care that you need.

Thank you.

I should win the first season of Dawn's Drag Race because i've been laying out the entire competition. I've only been low/in the bottom once and only safe once. The rest of the time. I've been doing WORK. I've been trying my hardest and putting so much effort and care into every single thing that I do in this competition

HIV and STDs. A very taboo subject,
however I sometimes question, why?
I know a lot of people will know STDs means Sexually Transmitted Disease. But what few people know is what HIV means, I can bet that a lot of people just know it as 3 letters. When it actually means human immunodeficiency virus. This is a simple acronym that is still not being taught and you have to further question if our society doesn't know what 3 simple letters mean then what else do they not know? However, we cannot ignore the fact that day by day the stigma attached to HIV and STDs is changing, and this is a speech to show people who have been affected that you are NOT alone.

When someone use to say HIV or STDs there was a stigma and this was the idea that HIV/AIDS was a “gay disease.” .As AIDS was first discovered in gay men in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. During these early years it was often referred to as the “gay disease,” because it seemed to just affect homosexual men. This often isolated the LGBT community and made them feel like they had no one to turn to, But By late 1980's the more accurate term AIDS was created which cleared up the term and showed the world that this is not just a 'gay disease'. Females and Straight men also were starting to be diagnosed and this made the  isolation first encounted with those with HIVs or STDs less severe and people effected were feeling less alone. Most now know that anyone can catch HIV/STDs and not all gay men have the virus. Less people feel isolated as it can effect anyone.
PROGRESS!

Even though there is still fighting to do, times have drastically changed and we can all unite and hopefully in the near future be in a place where even in the most conservative societies there will be NO STIGMA, NO ISOLATION and NO MISSTREATEMENT.

In the US alone 1,155,792 have HIV! this  truly shows that you are not alone, millions of other people are all facing the same barriers that you will and have overcome. Whilst many people do not understand HIV or STDs. there are trained doctors and specialists who you can talk to at any time and millions just like you. We now also live in a world where we have the power of the Internet, there are thousands of chat rooms, websites and others you can all find with a touch of a button. You will never be alone!!

Attitudes have shifted so much that even as of this year The British Royal Family have spoke about HIV and STDs this would have never happened if we all had the same attitude to the disease and virus back in the 80's or 90's. Times are changing and we even have a world AIDS day (1st December) where we all unite and show how strong we really are. Let’s take a moment the celebrate the progress we’ve made so far as a community and educate ourselves on what still needs to be done, no matter how far they try to isolate or hide your community your strength will always rise through and you will NEVER be alone.
Thank you.

Why I should win DDR1
When coming in this competition I was unsure whether I'd make it far, I saw all these other queens and really doubted myself and during the first week I was put as LOW and even though there was no bottom 2 during that week I'm certain that I would've been lip syncing for my life and probably would have sashay'd away first week. It took me a few times to really believe in myself and tell myself I can do this and even though I have struggled I have come out 100x times better, I never would've thought I'd make it to f4 and win a challenge so close to the finale. I finally have changed who I am and because of my journey I think it makes me more then qualified to be the WORLDS next drag SUPERSTAR.
