CHRIS OH!


Meet Christopher! This queen hail from a most brilliant country...New Zealand, and is another queen bringing a new take on drag. Chris Olwage is an experienced performer on many genres of dance and performance art. He got his start on his appearance on New Zealand's Got Talent in 2012. Who even know there was a New Zealand's Got Talent?? But he tore the stage up with his ballet talents and antics, His Black Swan was a smash hit. Since then his personality has shifted to more gender bending, blurring of the lines, and I love what he has metamorphosed into. He has created and performed in work of art performances that offer alternative and off the wall perspectives of dance and society. He likes to challenge boundaries and push the limits of what drag should be, and how a ripped dude can show the fem side, and come across demure, all whilst entertaining an audience. His shows, Chris Oh! now entail mostly drag and burlesque, where he dips his toes into the pond of fetish, and has the sensual, deeply sexual and darker showgirl feel to it. His style and costuming in the burlesque shows are his obsessions with Georgian, baroque and Rococo times, while his routines have a sense of frivolity, wanton hedonism and excess and good debauchery. He is now considered one of the top 10 burlesque dancers in the world...not bad considering he's a man right? I first became enthralled with him when I did the Boy-lesque show the last year of the existence of the Raven, when I still enjoyed drag, but wanted to take it a different avenue. If your not shy, it is great fun I can tell you that. Sickening, painted mug and the lack of costumes by the end of his routines.... I mean plumes and feathers are all one needs really...and that bod and talent?!? Did I mention he was also once Mr Gay World?

    2. Probably my deep love for the male body & world makes me enhance every male aspect that emerges even in a drag queen.

  5. I often wonder if these outfits are 'rentable' viz. I would pay money for wearing some of them to a fancy night out.
    On the other hand I would pay money for taking some of these folks out on a fancy night.

    1. I had a blast for the time I did!!! Like any other dance it just takes time to learn and perfect. It was only about a year and a half that I did it.

  9. WOW!!!!! It's great to see a buff man not feel threatened in the least to do this! He looks amazing. Im here for this. Even as big as he is, he still captures that demure side. I remember seeing your little show you did. That was indeed nice too, especially your reveal wearing a top hat!

  10. This is epic! It's cool to see a guy likes this embrace this side since most masculine men are pussies at heart.

  13. He looks good (barely) in red, but he can really pull off that blue-green bird-of-paradise look!

    Does he pull it off?

  15. Oh my dear Mistress, He is quite something! I would love to see one of his shows. I needed this today. William had to be sent to to the hospital. Turns out he does have the covid. We are so puzzled as to where it came from since we go no where except take out or groceries.
