Tall and weird (her words), Yvie draws inspiration from fashion muses like Thierry Mugler, and drag stars like Christeene. Season 11 RuPauls Drag Race Queen SOJU is here to serve you her latest look along with her new single, K-Pop Idol Reject. In the words of Ru herself, “this might be the most sickening season of all time.Yvie Oddly (Denver, CO) | Instagram/Twitter: “commodity of drag oddity,” shock queen Yvie bucked her boring local drag scene and brought conceptual artistry into the mix.

Filming began in late May 2018, with the season premiere airing on Thursday, February 28, 2019. Casting began soon after, and later it was announced that fifteen queens will compete for the crown this season.

Fellow NYC queen Scarlet Envy will also compete. Shuga Cain is New York City queen who is new to the drag scene, but some serious talent is to thank for a rise to stardom as quick as hers.

Soju is a Korean queen, born in Chicago, who is best known for her YouTube show “Shot with Soju,” where she talks to past Drag Race queens. Nina West / photo by Jamie Queen West Yvie Oddly / courtesy of Instagram Yvie Oddly, the self-proclaimed “commodity of drag oddity” is sure to slay the competition and turn some abstract and artistic looks. Nina has been writing and producing her own shows while also being a vocal advocate for LGBTQ organizations. Plastique Tiara / courtesy of Instagram Kahanna Montrese / courtesy of InstgaramĬomedy queen Nina West will also grace the main stage. Plastique comes from Alyssa Edwards’ Haus of Edwards (along with Gia Gunn, Laganja Estranja, and Shangela) and Kahanna is the drag daughter of Coco Montrese from season 5 and All Stars season 2. I feel like in addition to performing the background checks and social media checks that TheLeigonofDoom mentions in this thread, someone on production could call a couple of clubs where the queen in question commonly performs, and. Other queens with connections to well-known drag families are Plastique Tiara and Kahanna Montrese. From a lot of the comments on here, I glean that within the Chicago drag/bar scene, people knew Soju was a creep.

Ra’jah keeps the Davenport name abbreviate but is still from the dynasty. Honey is the drag mother of season 10’s Monet X Change and is a huge name is the NYC drag scene. A’keria is a Texas queen with titles like Miss Black Universe and Miss International Vogue under her belt. The Davenport name has major representation this season with A’keria Chanel Davenport, Honey Davenport, and Ra’jah D.
