Season 6 Spotlight: Milk

1/23/2014

Milk
AGE: 25
HOMEtown: SYRACUSE, NY
CURRENT CITY: NEW YORK, NY
CLAIMS TO FAME: 
member OF the hilarious DRAG posse 'THE DAIRY QUEENS'
Dating music artist JBDubs
Former COMPETITIVE FIGURE SKATER
#Subtlelip

Conventionality is completely out the window with Milk, the most unexpected addition to the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 6. Milk is the epitome of what RuPaul's Drag Race has been missing. Her wild, out there, gender bending style and campy personality bring a fresh, new approach to the game. The kittens are ready to lap up Milk's avant-guard fashion and persona!
Picture
Before the persona of Milk was born, Daniel Donigan lived in upstate New York, attended Catholic school, and was even an altar boy at his local church. 

He went on to achieve success in competitive figure skating (what we would give to see Milk skating today, serving some serious ice cream realness!)  Does that jacket look familiar? Yep, Milk repurposed it for his workroom entrance outfit!

In 2009, Dan became a part of the Marc Jacobs International family, and he currently holds the position of Merchandising Manager at the Marc by Marc Jacobs Women’s Store in the West Village, NYC. 

Picture
Milk created the hilarious drag posse known as ‘The Dairy Queens’, which consists of Milk, Skim Burley (Milk’s drag daughter), Yoohoo, Linda Lakes, and Juggz. Milk’s ridiculous, campy and fun persona is reflected in the themed names, outfits, and outrageous ongoings of ‘The Dairy Queens’. Yoohoo also happens to be Milk's boyfriend, and music artist JbDubs, who is known for hits like 'Pantywaister'. Milk and the other Dairy Queens are commonly featured in his hit music videos.

Milk towers over the rest of the season 6 competition, not only with her unique style, but also (literally) in height! With her statuesque slender frame coupled with killer heels, all eyes focus on Milk. She has a talent for combining her “genderfuck club kid looks” with dramatic, glamorous eye makeup, thick, dark lashes, and voluminous hair. We are still gagging over that signature gap between her front two teeth. Most importantly, Milk rocks an extremely exaggerated lip! When asked about the style she’ll be serving on the Drag Race runway, she had this to say:

“I will never come out on stage with the same look week after week, simple girl in a dress, sequins on the face… Not about it!... You’ll see luscious MILK, you’ll see curdly MILK, you’ll see sour Milk… Ya never know! Pasteurized, unpasteurized, you name it! I’ll fucking do it!”

Milk's inspiration comes from a mix of the Muppets and a ‘90’s supermodel aesthetic. Her fashion ranges from elegant lacy dresses and classy businesswoman attire matched with ‘80’s inspired florescent windbreaker jackets, to gaudy jewelry with sparkly mustaches stuck to her upper lip. With the addition of fabulous and fierce facial hair, MILK is stepping outside of the typical fishy drag boundaries that we have come to see often on Drag Race. By breaking the perceived set limitations for drag, Milk may become quite controversial, and as one Wordpress blogger put it: “it’s important for RuPaul's Drag Race to remind its viewers that drag isn’t all about glamour and fishiness; at its best, no matter the queen’s style, drag is performance art, and it should be challenging.” 
And then there was this...

Milk is constantly pushing the boundaries of drag. She is introducing the mainstream to NYC clubhopping drag. RuPaul's Drag Race will never be the same after Milk has poured her talent all over that runway. We really hope that she doesn't leave a curdled taste in the judges’ mouths, and that the audience falls udderly in love with her talent and originality.

She is the the one everyone is talking about , she is funny, weird, entertaining and so fucking gorgeous as a guy, the show hasn't even started and everyone love her, I have the same feeling with Sharon Needles on season 4, I wasn't expecting sharon was going to win, because she was so diferent , but after she won I know everything is possible and Milk have a chance. onless she act like a fucking asshole like Serena ChaCha did, I really hope she is not, if she doesn't win , she could be Miss congeniality.

I love MILK, not only is he the hottest guy out of drag but his style is unique and different. She is gonna change the game of Drag Race like Sharon Needles, Nina Flowers, and Jinkx Monsoon did. No more just fishy girls, you gotta have something special and she does. #TeamMilk

If she can bring her signature looks some weeks and glamorous looks for other weeks on the show, she'll be the total package. On the show, they always want the queens to bring out their glamorous sides - a la Jinkx Monsoon - so if she can bring both the glamour, the camp, and the weirdness, she will go very far in the competition. I'm rooting for Milk!

it is too soon to determine if Milk is going to win, you never know what i going to happen. There always is a possibility that a queen on the show pulls of a Tammie Brown-exit.
These comments show how obnoxious her fans already are, i am certain this will prove internet drama during the show. I respect you feeling her look, feeling her style. But you cannot determine if she wins yet.
I really like her style, i really do but i also feel like it is way too early to determine who is gonna win? Well obviously she is going to win if she is top three because of the fan voting contest.

Just don't focus on Milk only, let the whole season overcome you and pay attention to all queens, they all are casted for a reason.

Agree 1000 percent, her fans already seem to be as coocoo crazy as Jinkx Monsoon's fan were last season, loaded with nastiness, especially the straight females who watch the show, they are the worst. People should wait until the show starts and watch it with an opened mind without being biased to certain queens for whatever reason they may be. I remember last year around this time, before season 5 started everyone was so infatuated with Roxxxy Andrews and then as the show progressed on they started hating her. Don't forget a trick the show directors and producers have to play with some of the weakest minds who watch the show: EDITING.

I'm not about to flame you for your opinion, but the commentor above you had a classy response. You criticize other types of fans while calling straight females the worst kinds of fans. You just add fuel to their fire, so check yo self too.

The fans of drag race need to sing kumbaya or something, idk

Cow juice never looked so fabulous! It's great to see a gender fuck / performance artist representing - I really hope her personality is as awesome as her looks. If so, MILK FOREVER!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing his body when he gets undressed. However, I don't have high expectations for his drag.

It won't be here. Ru has a Olivia Newton John thing. She'll pick fish this year for the accent alone. I knew Camaroooooon would win.

Milk won't win. My bet's on Courtney Act for the Sandy from Grease nostalgia.

I just don't know about this girl yet. I mean, her look is a lot to take in personally, the first time I seen her I literally had to stop, wait, do that Detox/Scooby Doo "Wtf?" and go on 'bout my business. I can definitly see her camp. But I'm waiting to see if she can do anything besides being the funny one. And I don't mean to piss off her fans. But I just don't see her winning. I may be wrong. I'm reserving final judgement til the series begins

How tall is Milk?

Reply
Hello There!

On the first episode she was in, you can tell she's around RuPaul's height. If RuPaul is 6'4, Milk would be 6'5 or 6'6 at most. The first day when she had on the hat and the heels probably added height because it looked like she was at least 6'10 because her head nearly reached the door. So, in short, pretty damn tall. :)
