Rebecca Glasscock Reacts To Princess Poppy's Hilarious Reunion Tribute
"This bitch did her homework."
RuPaul's Drag Race star Princess Poppy loves a good homage, and fans were obsessed with her Season 15 reunion look in a yellow t-shirt and jeans.

As OG fans know, the look was a nod to Rebecca Glasscock's entrance look in Season 1 of Drag Race in 2009. Though the look feels outdated now (which is what made it so funny juxtaposed to the galmmed up queens around her), RuPaul dubbed Glasscock "just another girl at the mall" at the time.

Following Friday's airing of the episode, Glasscock reacted to the tribute on Instagram.
"Yooooo!!!! Everybody was blowing up my phone and sending me pics!!! I thought it was hilarious!!!" wrote Javier Rivera who, according to EW, has retired the Rebecca Glasscock persona. "This bitch did her homework. For a minute I saw that pic from the panel and said: 'When did I film that? Oh s---! That's not me!!!!'"
Rivera continued, "Hats off to ya babe!!!! You had me down to the pumps and the necklace!!! You fuggin turned it!!! You had me LMFAO!!! Beautifully executed. Bravo."
Poppy left a comment on Glasscock's post. "You're the icon to end all icons."
The queen has been largely absent from social media during the airing of this season of Drag Race, and with the Glasscock homage on the reunion, Poppy said that she's "quitting drag. You're welcome."
She explained her absence to EW. "I want to fall off the face of the planet. I don't want to be famous, I want to fade into obscurity," Poppy told EW. "That's not a bad thing. I think people put so much emphasis on success and fame, and it's okay to not want to be famous. It's totally valid to not want to be known by a bunch of people. That's just not what I want. I don't want that for my life."

It's not clear if Poppy is quitting drag completely or just not posting on social media, but fans are hyped to see what she does next.
