Aiden Zhane- Acworth, GA
Hailing from rural Georgia, it’s apparent Aiden Zhane is attracted to the darker side of life. Horror films, Marilyn Manson, and weirdness all inform her outlandish – and original – spooky persona. But do we need another Yvie Oddly? 10th place.
Brita Filta- New York City
Everyone who's anyone in the scene or drag, or lives in New York City knows Brita. That’s because this hard-working Polynesian queen captivates audiences with her famous lip-syncs … no less than seven nights a week. I have long adored her and her hilarity and I'm all about her wigs and ensembles. I would love to see a win, but I think she'll place 7 or 8th.
Dahlia Sin- Los Angeles
Originally hailing from Brooklyn, Dahlia Sin emerged from the Haus of Aja (of Season 9 and All Stars fame). Now this look queen lives in LA, where she wows the west coast with her urban brand of sexiness. 13th place.
Gigi Goode- Los Angeles
This leggy fashion queen is only 21, but enters the competition with a sizeable social media following. Gorgeous fashion illustrations come to life and make her Instagram fans stand. Gorgeous... A top 5 queen.
Sherry Pie- New York City
A campy, polished queen who knows her references, Sherry Pie will leave an audience in stitches, TRUST ME. And with Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett as her icons, she’s certainly learned from the best. She is one of my front runners to win this. I adore this bitch. A top 5 queen.
Heidi N Closet-Ramseur, NC
Heidi comes from Ramseur, a small country town in North Carolina. She playfully says there’s little to do there except count chickens and cows. But her infectious persona is sure to make her a global name very soon. 7th place.
Crystal Methyd- Springfield, MO
The only thing Crystal Methyd is addicted to is attention. And with her quirky fashions, incomparable makeup skills and screwball sense of humor, she’ll certainly be catching the judges’ eyes. Loves the name!!! A 6,7 or 8th placed queen.
Jackie Cox- New York City
The Persian princess of drag has arrived. Born in Canada and with Iranian heritage, Jackie Cox now considers the New York cabaret stage her home. She loves to write her own shows and bring them to life. A top 5 queen.
Jaida Essence Hall- Milwaukee
Jaida Essence Hall always strives to be the essence of glamour. She originally wanted to be a fashion designer, and now gets to both live that fantasy and model her own gorgeous creations. A top 5 queen.
Jan Sport-New York City
Jan is a musical theater queen and skilled singer, who can belt in the original key of a female popstar’s song. Ambitious and driven, she’s looking to slay the Drag Race performance challenges. She is also part of the music group, Stephanie's Child, along with Lagoona Blu and Ros'e. They are pretty good. 9th place.
Nicky Doll- New York City
The first French contestant to compete in RuPaul’s Drag Race, Nicky Doll relocated from Paris to New York City, where she enchants audiences with her European catwalk, high fashions and seductive charm. 11h place.
Rock M Sakura- San Francisco
Rock M. Sakura’s aesthetic is an amalgamation of anime, manga, and anything pink. With her high-energy death-dropping performance style and dirty sense of humor, this is a queen who defies categorization. I don't see a win...she is too close to Trixie Matell's look. 12th place
Widow Von' Du- Kanas City, MO
Jaida Essence Hall always strives to be the essence of glamour. She originally wanted to be a fashion designer, and now gets to both live that fantasy and model her own gorgeous creations. 6th place.
WHO FLOATS YOUR BOAT????
So many choices, so little time
ReplyDeleteIs it that time again ALREADY? You know I always love a Canadian angle, so I'll cheer for Jackie Cox!
ReplyDeleteYes gurl!!!!!!! Miss Sherry for the win please. She is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI am so ready. While I was sick i binge watched entire seasons! Cannot wait!
ReplyDeleteYour always pretty good at calling these things...so it will be interesting to see how you do again.
ReplyDeleteI seem to be obsessed with Crystal Methyd!!!
I don't know any of these fabulous looking Queens, so have no idea about how they might do, but I do find myself fascinated with Jan Sport's ocean wave-like frock.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nicky Doll reminds me of Charlize Theron.
Nicky Doll's accent get me every time. And Jackie is quite the adorable guy!!!
DeleteSO good to see you posting. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteJan Sport looks luscious. I watched the new "I Am Jazz" last night. Peppermint backed out of doing a fundraiser.... I thought, "now why doesn't she reach out to Ru????" Hugs!
Im looking forward to seeing the new season. But how many time will we hear Michelle Visage say switch up your mug?!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteWell she is bound to have a fit with this group then...they are all very strict with their styles.
DeleteI am adoring jackie, Sherry and Jaida"s looks. And Brita"s looks quote smashing in her picture.
ReplyDeleteGigi Goode could walk by me and I wouldn't think, "hey that's a guy".
ReplyDeleteYou should see Jackie out of drag...you'd be all over him like white on rice tootes.
DeleteGreat reporting!
ReplyDeleteMay the best Queen win.
xoxo :-)
...my eyes lit up with the exhilarating and colorful post!!!! I’m going to savor some more before choosing!!!!
ReplyDeleteRock a M Sakaura sure does look like Tricia right? I too like the look of Crystal....total camp, fashion queen.
ReplyDeleteA good batch of talent and queens. I will watch with baited breath as I know many of them.
ReplyDeleteOmg I’ve been waiting for dahlia sin to be on drag race...Mistress and you have her going as one of the first ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll watch when we're back in the US.
I hope you had a good trip you big lug.
DeleteI have worked with many and know some of them but I'll be team Crystal! She is so genuinely sweet and she has a lot to bring to the table.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and a nice easy sheet to see the queens. I like the look and style of many. At first I thought Heidi N Closet was Mayhem Miller!
ReplyDeleteThis season feels an oddly mix of past seasons of queens we have already seen. hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see RuPaul do some other kind of show about drag with some educational value to it, like perhaps showing personal drag queens stories and how they began drag and such. Of course the general population would probably not watch...god forbid it's not all fun and fashion and drama. There is far more to queens than just shows and titles.
Sherry Pie's make up is so Dramatic and Beautiful. She is hilarious. I think Sherry, Brita and Jackie for my top three.
ReplyDeleteOMG I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI love Gigi, Nicky and Jada. Brita seems to have a fantastic sense of humor (and those looks!)
Sherry is this season's Nina. Some of the younger queens are stunning.
XOXO
You were right girl....Dahlia the first put!!!!!!$
