GRANDE DAME

 
Laila McQueen is an edgy queen who hails from Boston and was sent home pretty early on the this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. While you may have only gotten to see a few of her avant-garde looks on the show, you haven’t seen the last of Laila. And again having seen her, she is more spectacular then she was shown. But what of this queen, who considers herself as artistic and her drag style as stripper punk. Stayed tuned for all the juicy details she whets our appetite with on this list of 10 fascinating things you never knew about her.

  1. I thought he seemed cool I kinda feel like Laila McQueen might be fierce as fuck as well. She looks like a love child of Adore and Violet.

  4. New Hampshire? Isn't that a conservative state full of country club Republicans? Heck, maybe she's popular with the country club Republicans. Only in America!
