ALEERA

Aleera Verushka is one of the drag queens who makes me take notice, even if I have to pick up my jaw off the floor. She's not just a drag queen, but she's a transformation queen. Her flamboyant and above all, very artistic make up is breathtaking...done with such a precision ... and a waist line snitched for the gods,  that could even give Violet Chachki a run of her money. Aleera is a real glamazon. Although I'm mixed on social media and the queens on there who are popular, but then can't perform with worth shit,  Aleera is a case of where social media created the queen first,  and she is a testament to the power of social media in the contemporary drag world. But not because it made her famous, but because it gave her the strength to launch a drag career. Aleera is gifted make up artist living in Montreal Canada. But you see,  never had the guts to go out in drag. She slowly created looks and content and had amassed a collection of stunning visual creations that expressed her obsession with fantasy films, and won over huge numbers of supportive fans and friends. She finally felt she had the confidence to step out after battling anxiety and panic attacks at the thought of doing a show, so she took a trip to NYC where she further drew inspiration from the queens there. For over two years now, Aleera has been a fixture of the Montreal nightlife scene and drag shows and competitions. It's a unique story where a queen was created online first, then fruitioned. After so much support, she was like listen bitch, you can do this. And she did! Beautifully.
