One thing the internet has taught us to expect over the years?
Sub-par products come from Wish.com.
Sure, the prices are unmatchable, but you will wait weeks for a product that looks vaguely like the one in the pictures.
Such was one particular Wish.com ornament of USA drag superstar herself, RuPaul. The RuPaul that showed up left quite a bit to be desired.
So someone on my timeline posted that they got this @RuPaul Christmas ornament from Wish. And that they were upset with it. I can see why! It looks like Jennifer Holiday in mid performance! 😂 😂 😂 pic.twitter.com/dsof924lOT

The uneven and unfocused eyes, the eyebrows that look like they were drawn on with magic marker, and a mouth so slanted to the side it would make any 20s gangster stereotype jealous, the ornament, at best, vaguely resembles RuPaul.
It also appears to have white skin under the light, which is wildly incorrect.
"It looks like Jennifer Holliday in mid-performance," wrote the original poster of the photo.

The art is infinite, endless, accurate and precise.

Therapist: the RuPaul Wish ornament isn't real. It can't hurt you.

Soon thereafter, it got into the sights of RuPaul herself, who took the opportunity to shade the ornament.

The internet, meanwhile, either couldn't get enough of the bootleg ornament, or were absolutely terrified of it.
Yes. I spent $24 on the RuPaul ornament, but that's because I believe in supporting mother, because she's done so much for me ☺️

RuPaul also replied to Drag Race All-Stars Champion Trixie Mattel, who claimed she bought two dozen of the RuPaul ornaments.

RuPaul appears to be having a blast photoshopping the ornament into scenes from her successful television franchise, RuPaul's Drag Race.
