Yassification means: The act of beautification; (originally) applying several beauty filters to a picture using a photo-editing application..

The undisputed ruler of glam reinvention — a person who has mastered the art of taking themselves or anything else and elevating it to an almost delirious level of fabulousness. The yassified queen doesn't do subtle. She does lashes, she does contouring, she does the version of yourself that exists in a alternate universe where you always have perfect lighting. Rooted in drag culture and LGBTQ+ internet spaces, the title is bestowed with genuine reverence, recognising transformation as a form of power.
