The Drag Queen collective is composed of artists who seek freedom to express their art and come out of the shadows of marginality and gay clubs and bars.
In recent times, with the boom produced by RuPaul’s contest, drag queens have been able to be more visible and accepted by the communities without prejudice.
It’s the one who creates an androgynous character without the need to imitate a woman or a man. They play with their art, making their costumes a show in itself: wigs, platforms, hairpieces, feathers, and pronounced make-up characterize them.
From every point of view, they are aesthetic, elegant, sophisticated, and extremely versatile. Drag is a trendsetter in the artistic world.
The Drag movement is a manifestation that questions the establishment of this era, because the individual, regardless of whether he or she is a man or a woman, demands his or her real right to differentiate, to question whether he or she is a man or a woman, whether he or she has to wear a certain type of clothing according to his or her sex… or not. The appearance of Drags defends the mantra that we are all free and that society should be more tolerant and open.
There are different hypotheses about the emergence of the Drag Queen, but the most sustained and accepted is that it appeared far away and long ago, by the middle of the 19th century in the eastern continent, where theatrical shows known as Victorian burlesque were performed.
Trixie Mattel, arguably the most famous Drag Race queen, has 2.5 million followers on Instagram since winning RuPaul’s All Stars 3 in 2018. Although she lost the seventh season of Drag Race in 2015, Trixie quickly came back with a web show called “UNHhhh,” which she co-presented with fellow Drag Race contestant Katya.
In addition to her appearances on Drag Race, Trixie has also released three studio albums, her own cosmetics brand, a self-help novel, and a documentary called Moving Parts. As of 2021, Trixie Mattel is a member of the Queen of the Universe judging panel.
As the winner of season 6 of Drag Race in 2014, Bianca Del Rio is still a fan favorite today. Fans often consider her the best winner in the show’s history due to her biting humor, determination, and talents that won her three Maxi-Challenges on Drag Race.
After the show, Bianca began touring in shows and as a solo act, often performing with the famous Lady Bunny. She has also starred in two movies, produced a makeup remover and published a book.
Having competed for the crown of Drag Race twice, in season 5 and All-Stars 2, Alyssa Edwards has given off many iconic sayings and habits that fans still quote today. However, despite never winning a Drag Race relay, fans and other queens have the utmost respect for her. Since her participation in 2013 and 2016, Alyssa has been running a very successful dance company called Beyond Belief, for which she does the choreography.
Aquaria defied all odds when she won the 10th season of Drag Race, because before she appeared on the show, she already had a huge following on the Internet, and people believed that she was all about her looks, but not her talent.
Nevertheless, she was one of the youngest winners when she was crowned, at only 22 years old. She is also the daughter of a former drag show winner, Sharon Needles. Besides Drag Race, Aquaria has also tried her hand at singing and acting, and has appeared on the Werq the World Tour.
Bob The Drag Queen was the winner of the 8th season of Drag Race in 2016, much to the cheers of many fans. Due to her popularity on Drag Race, Bob was offered several acting roles after the season ended. She teamed up with famous companies such as HBO, Netflix and Sony Tristar to launch her acting career. In addition, Bob has two comedy specials on iTunes and a podcast that she co-hosts with her drag sister.
