The Queen is a 1968 documentary film that follows the drag queen Flawless Sabrina as she struggles to put on a drag pageant. It is a unique film that captures a moment in time: the sixties. The sexual revolution has planted the seeds of what will become the gay rights movement, but before Stonewall.

The Queen actually captures a pivotal moment in drag history. After losing to a waifish blonde girl, Crystal LaBeija throws an epic temper tantrum.

What looks like a moment of pure bitchiness was actually years of pent-up frustration over losing to pretty, skinny, young, and WHITE contestants. In pageants, she was regularly expected to lighten her skin, and was criticized for not masking her "negroid" features.

After losing, Crystal would go on to form the immensely influential House of LaBeija, which is still active today, and then, more importantly, to start organizing balls and pageants that were exclusively for Black and Latinx drag queens. This is the birth of the ballrooms that would create modern drag culture.

Okay, but like this isn't a grand statement about like camp in drag or high glam drag or whatever. This is specifically meatball making fun of megami on drag race it's a reference to drag race.
