The first episode of Reddit's Drag Race: Season 1 Remastered is finally here. While there were MTQs in the comments below, let's have a better look at out queens, shall we?
Our first queen is new to the RDR scene. With a hometown flair like no other and rudemption storyline just waiting to happen, please welcome—
QUEEN #1: Anita Dragname!
. . .
ORIGINALLY: 14th Place
. . .
For her promo lewk, Anita is a mad witch in the 1800s who was caught for her witchcraft-y ways, with the villagers drowning her in a well and forgetting about her. Hundreds of years later, she was found, still alive. She is wearing a black corset with emerald jewels bedazzled on it and a long skirt with an extremely long train made entirely out of seaweed. Her body and face is a mix of pale green and lime green with blue shadows to accentuate the veins. Her eyebrows are glitter green and my eyeshadow is a strong emerald and limegreen mix, both on the eyelid and under the eyes. She has white under the eyelids to make my eyes pop and green contacts to match, with the contours done done with the same emerald on my eyes and the lips a mix of dark purple as a base, black for the corners and a light turquoise and white as highlights in the middle. The hair matches the seaweed skirt as she have on a mix of dark green and light green ombre in curls. As she is crawling out the well, (aka posing for my solo promo look), water begins to leak out of her mouth as poses on the spot for the video.
. . .
Hi, I’m Anita Dragname, I’m 25 years old and I come from the beautiful island of Singapore, not in China. And yes, Trump, Kim and I certainly had some fun together. I named myself Anita Dragname cause: 1, I had a good friend called Anita and she gave me 10 bucks for me to name myself after her, and 2, I’m too busy sucking dick to think of an actual drag name. I would describe my drag as sex meets camp.
I decided to return cause I went home first and I didn’t even know why? That was some riggory right there and I’m here to prove that this bitch can turn the party. I’m in musical theatre by trade so I got the whole triple threat and sewing thing going down. Being raised by 2 lesbian hookers definitely influenced my eclectic fashion tastes, so mixing those 2 together forms a force to be reckoned with.
I was inspired to do drag when I did a performance of Cell Block Tango in drag for the first time and I fell in love with the art. From there, I was blessed to be given more female roles. As I help to make costume adjustments for the cast, I thought, why not combine everything that I love about Theatre and put it into drag! Thus, the she-devil was born. I’m known for doing more intellectual performances, tugging at the heart strings and teasing the mind with my lipsyncs. But that doesn’t mean I can’t tear up the dance floor with Top 40s hits! The splits, high kicks and shablams would definitely be there when I’m not making people feel things.
Season 1 Remastered is going to be… crazy! Y’all better watch out cause I’m gonna Shangela it up in this house!
Our second queen is well-known in the RDR community. The original Miss Bitch, now host of Big Sissy, is back, back, back, baby. Please welcome—
QUEEN #2: Angelique!
. . .
For her promo look, Angelique is returning from below Pompeii. She is covered from head to toe in gray as she is covered in soot. She is wearing a flowy blue dress that is that is brought in at the waist by a belt. Her dress easily billows in the wind and flows easily down to her feet. She wears a white shawl around her shoulders. Her face is gray with a darker gray contour and black eyeshadow with a slightly darker brown lip. She has a dark crack doing down her right cheek from head to chin. These cracks go down her arms and legs. She is wearing brown sandals as shoes to fit her Roman woman illusion.
. . .
Do I even need to introduce myself? These girls know me... JK, Miss Thing! I'm Angelique, I'm 24 and I'm from Kansas City. My best asset are my obnoxiously large pads and nails. Good for knocking bitches out.
I would describe my drag is Big Booty Bitch. Simple, I know, but it puts the B in Beautiful. Speaking of bitch, I was last year's Miss Bitch, thanks for the votes, and I plan on keeping that title. A wise queen once said, "A bitch is being in total control of herself", so eat it, cunts.
I started drag last year after Trump's election in order to blend with the straight white women and be safe from the trumpster fire. I'm political fish. I look forward to winning some challenges and showing these hoes that I'm fierce as fuck. And yes, Caprice, I did take acting challenges, perhaps you should take some shade lessons, get some new material. Fuckin' whore.
A message? For the other bitches? Quit drag.
Our next queen is coming for the comeback to end all comebacks. Please welcome—
QUEEN #3: Marianna!
. . .
ORIGINALLY: 11th Place
. . .
Marianna wears a grey body-hugging strapless satin dress that hits the floor. There's a black embroidery, that, upon closer inspection, depicts spider web, spiders, and roses. The bottom of the dress is covered in grime and is somewhat tattered. She also wears a black lace shawl on her shoulders, with pattern also depicting spiderweb, spiders and roses. Marianna's hair is jet black and incredibly messy, almost like an aura behind her head. Her whole face is pale and her features are purposefully darkened, with added wrinkles. Her facial expression is full of grief and regret, she looks like she's half-crying and half-screaming. Her pose makes her look crestfallen and downtrodden.
. . .
Приве́т! I'm Marianna, I'm totally-21-yup-yup, and I'm a Russian! I'd say that my drag is gothic, sexy and femme-fatale. I'm so inspired by badass heroines and villainesses who are just like "Fuck the patriarchy!", y'know? I mean, my look today is the modern version of The Lady of the House of Love. I've never read it, but.. she sounds fierce.
My best asset are these LEGS, girl. Look at these luscious, long goddesses. Such beauty. . .. Just don't tell Naomi, I can't hold a candle to her! I've been doing drag and all the fellas from my local bar for a year and a half now, so I'm still a baby queen, but I've had a lot more experiences than older queens, so don't underestimate me.
I can't for Snatch Game, honestly, not because I'll win, but because I'll be so bad it'll be the most entertaining shitshow of your life! In Season 1, I think I was most notable for being part of Team Safe with Obeseia. Now, with there being more of a chance to shine, I think I'm a lock in for Top 7.
My personality hasn't really changed, to be honest, I'm still a supportive queen, love my girls Caprice and Annie. I'll continue to be supportive to my Season 2 sisters as well, there's nothing to lose and all to gain from being nice!
Although, I hope we can still be friends after I win.
Our next queen is the original lip sync assassin. More fashionable than ever, please welcome our very own dancing diva—
QUEEN #4: Annie Depressant!
. . .
ORIGINALLY: 8th Place
. . .
Annie is wearing a bodysuit with full arms & a neckline that is tight on her up to her chin. Her body suit is stoned completely with black stones on the left side. The right side the body suit fuses to Annie’s skin just past her nipples. Her skin is a alabaster white with a grayish tone to it. She has a chunk of her neck missing on her stoned side which is stoned red and is jagged to represent her skin sticking everywhere from the bite. A singular line of red stones curves down her body and where it hits the end of the body suit it turns into beaded jewels that act as a singular fringe.
On the left side of her body her skin is porcelain & pure. She is wearing a red bottomed stiletto that has a singular red jewel that hangs inside of the arch of the shoe. She has on fishnet tights & a black Smokey eye. On the right side her heel is cracked off so she has to lean her foot to the side to stay level. She is wearing no fishnets on this leg so her grey dirt laden skin is exposed. Her body looks red & irritated where the bodysuit melds to her skin in a latex type material. Her hair is in a big loaf like Eureka’s & is perfectly styled on the left side w/ black stones styling it. Her right side of the load is misshapen & knotty like Eufreka’s w/ red diamonds scattered throughout.
…
Hello, I'm Annie Depressant, I'm 22 and I'm from Wilmington, DE! I would describe my drag as regal stoner housewife. Does that make sense? It worked in my head!
My best asset to this competition is my lipsync skills. I delivered some high-end performances with "Raise Your Glass" and "Emotions", so I know that I can give you high-energy as well as soul. I grew in a small town in Maryland that was more conservative, and after being inspired by Drag Race and the like, got the confidence to put on that wig, and begin the journey to becoming Annie! She's everything I fantasise about being.
Will I continue being congenial? Look at you! Tryna' get a sassy answer! All jokes aside, of course I'm gonna keep it up! But come for me and I will cut you. Last time I was on, I was given a free pass onto Season 2, but now there's new rules, a new game, and trust me, I have no advantage. I'm gracious that the pass still was valid, to be quite honest. I just hope I can get past 8th, and claim that win I know I deserve! I'm most looking forward to showing everyone how much I've improved, and Snatch Game! I've got a really cool character planned and I hope you enjoy!
To sign off, I would like to quote Lord Mother Disasterina, "Shut the fuck. Put your God damned pantyhose on, and fucking slay. But don't do better than me.”
Our next queen is the full fantasy, and the ORIGINAL Miss Robbed. Will she get justice? Please welcome—
QUEEN #5: Fantasia Four!
. . .
ORIGINALLY: 7th Place
. . .
Fantasia Four is back, back, back again from the dead. She coughed a spout of sand from her mouth, shooting out from in between her mahusive lips which were cracked, dry skin peeling off the top of them. The trail of sand was stuck to her face, flowing down her chin, stuck to the skin by the tacky surface of spit which had leaked from her mouth over time. Embedded in this stream were small ‘diamonds’ and glistening holographic glitter, also seen on her eyelids in a different colour of a metallic gold. Her caramel, warm skin-tone accommodated the metallic shades perfectly, and the harsh contour she had painted, emphasising on her already strong facial structure, her appearing almost skeleton like. Her eyes emitted a ray of brightness; the bright amber contacts she wore shrunk her pupils and made her supernatural like, cohesive with the gradient of the golden tones of eyeshadow and glitter on her eyelid that followed her dramatic eyeliner wing and black waterline. She wore a Egyptian Pharaoh headdress that had the classic gold and blue appearance, despite maintaining a polished sheen, it was rusted and cracked, symbolic of its age. Her long, sleek brunette hair flows downwards from the headdress, intertwined with the golden beads that dangle from it. She wore a translucent kimono, printed on top were hieroglyphics with a bronze tint, cohesive with the pallazo pants she wore that seemed to be made out of a bronze silk, attached to her corset that cinched her waist to minuscule proportion. Her chest was on show, her nipples covered by white tassels opposing the rest of her padded body. The five inch copper heels that she wore made her appear taller, showing for the loose fabric of the pants which had more ability to flow.
. . .
Hey! I’m Fantasia Four, 7th place and Miss Robbed of season 1! Yay, I’m back! Here’s the thing: Season 1 was AGES ago, and the actual season wasn’t really the most incredible thing in terms of decisions. 4 of my fellow old-school friends got a chance to come back last year, and I’m snatching this opportunity for myself this year! Now, let’s move on from this to talk more about my favorite subject: me!
I’m originally from UK, but I’m now living at New York. My age? No one needs to know that! I’m a queen, you don’t ask a queen for her age! Fantasia Four originates from the concept of my own drag. I was inspired by my own fantasies in wanting success and my ambition, and that I also sometimes gives off fantasy looks that are unique and can be eclectic. Four comes from my favourite number.
3 words to describe my drag? Past, present, future. I’m all about being a drag queen for all times! 3 queens that inspire me? Miss Fame, Nina Bonina and Alaska. I believe Fantasia Four is an amazing, theoretical character that could easily be put into any season and allow the person running it to have flexibility. She has her weak points like any other queen but can redeem herself the next episode of with a great lip sync, and in contrast she has more strong points.
The originator of the first truly interactive (non-random) RDR season, we'll give this bitch a lot of credit. Current contestant of RDR4 and former judge on Season 3, please welcome—
QUEEN #6: Caprice Sun!
. . .
ORIGINALLY: 6th Place
. . .
Caprice stands fierce, looking straight into the camera. Her look is a fierce take on a Celtic warlord, like Boudicca. The top of her outfit is a golden metal chestplate, protecting her body. The bodice has intricate details of engraved Celtic runes and symbols of war. The abdomen of the bodice cinches her in slightly, acting like a corset, and the breastline cups her breastplate nicely. The skirt of her outfit is a teal and green checkered dress, with a side slit exposing her right leg. The skirt falls down to her ankle, leaving her foot exposed. Her right leg is tattooed in black runes and war tattoos also, leading down to a brown ankle boot, with a high heel, covering most of her foot.
Returning to the top of the look, Caprice’s shoulders and arms remain exposed, and visible blackened veins can be seen. Caprice’s wig is a long tangled ginger wig, with leaves and dirt entwined within her fiery locks. Her face is a morbid look, with purple, dry lips and a red nose. Her eye makeup is dramatic, with a purple eyeshadow and green cut crease. From the corners of her eyes, and trickling down her face is a dark red, resembling blood. Her cheeks has the illusion of bursted capillaries, and she has bloodshot contacts in her eyes.
Caprice’s pose is dominant, and she stands, slightly left-centred, with her legs spread apart, drawing attention to her right leg. Her right arm is pointed down, following the stance of the right leg, and her left arm clutches her throat, tainted by the dark veins. Her face juxtaposes her strong stance, with a tone of remorse and regret painted on her.
. . .
I’m 23, and I’m from the UK! In real life, I am 18, but she’s still that English ho! Okay, so on the base level, it’s a classic pun name, y’know, Capri-Sun, Caprice Sun. But there’s more to it. I was in English class, and we were going over exam technique, and he pulls up an example essay question. On one side is a messy bitch laughing about prostitution, on the other is a diary from a former sex worker called Caprice. I was immediately inspired by this Caprice woman, although she doesn’t exist. Then it struck, Caprice Sun.
My drag style in three words? Conceptual, campy, fierce. nMy inspired self wants to say that I want to use this as an outlet for my creativity and poetic juices, as well as just having fun doing this silly stupid competition we all love, but also, I have something to prove. I’ve been a host and a judge, and I’ve been known to be really fucking harsh. I want to show that I’m just as good as I’ve made myself out to be, if not better, but also show I can be nice! It’s rare but I can be! This is my time to fucking go balls to the wall and own it gurl. My edge is my competitiveness, my drive. My fear of bombing anything will ensure that I work at something until it’s absolutely perfect. Although you didn’t ask, I’m gonna be real. I do have some weaknesses. I’m very bitter at losing, so expect a Korn-level bitchfit when I bomb. JK Miss Thing! Failure gives me the fire to step it up 10x as hard on the next challenge, though. And I will be here ‘till the end, cuz I ain’t gonna lose a challenge, let alone a lipsync. My stress levels are gonna be off the charts. And do you know what that all means? DRAMA. I’m gonna break down the fucking T for every bitch, I will not keep it cute, and I will tell you straight up if you’re shit. Once again, ask Korn. My inspiration in drag? Very cliche, but EVERYTHING. God, I mean, look at me, I’m a fucking candlestick! I’m very inspired by movies, TV shows, pop culture. I love finding just funny, wacky shit and making something out of it. Also, video games, eastern culture. I love those badass bitches in games, kicking ass and popping their pussies.
The only thing I’m known for is being a cunt, but that’s a performance in itself. It’s hard out here for a bitch. Y’know, I would say I’m known for being a dancing, rapping queen. I split, I vogue, I waack, I deathdrop. She’s a dancer, she’s showing the audience that was there! Owww! My art, it’s very conceptual. Oh, category is flowers? Let me be a fucking sunflower. You know a winged creature? I’m gonna be a gargoyle queen! I go fully committed to a concept, and that’s saying something. I’ve never committed to anything in my life, just ask my husband! One final message: Stan LOONA.
Our next queen is in the running for our next dancing diva. With a soul train flair, she’s about to get sickening! Please welcome—
QUEEN #7: Tish Hughes!
. . .
ORIGINALLY: 5th Place
. . .
Tish is wearing a light brown form fitting mermaid gown. The gown is tattered and dirty, giving it an aged appearance. The sides of the gown are covered in wilted flowers, creating a dark contrast to the light beige and further creating the illusion of a slender, cinched waist. The bottom of the gown is layers upon of layers of decaying calla lilies, giving it a ruffle like appearance. Tish’s hair is a black layered bob, that’s been teased to all hell, with baby’s breath weaved into it. Her face and body makeup is a clown white, giving her an extremely pale and sickly appearance. Her white sclera contacts are a sharp contrast to her dark black eye makeup that gives her a sunken in look. Instead of contour, Tish put bloody stitches around her face and under her high cheekbones. As a prop, Tish holds a bouquet of red roses, presumably stolen from the grave next to hers. Tish created a storyline of a former starlet who died while in recovery of a facelift, trying to revive her career. She’s furious that her fans don’t visit her grave and leave her her flowers anymore, so she’s coming for everyone else’s. She wants you to know if you see her, she’s not after your brains, she’s after the bouquet you left on Aunt Barbara’s grave.
. . .
Hi, my beautiful boogers, my name is Tish Hughes. I’m 22 years young and I’m from Brooklyn, NY. When I was 18 and I first listened to Partition by Beyonce there was this one line that I lived for! It went like “I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker”.
I thought it was so fierce and then I came up with the name Tish Hughes because every bitch here is going to need one when they see how sickening I am. If I had to describe my drag style in three words it would be fluid, colorful & gobsmacking. I decided to return for S1 show that with a stable internet connection, I’m able to turn the party.
I believe that life is a banquet and we are all starving. But this for this banquet I’m pushing everyone out the way and hogging all the expensive calamari and dinner rolls. My hunger for this is my edge and I’m ready to push all these girls off of it. Hope their padding breaks their fall!
The fierce black performers I grew up admiring. I was raised by a mother who always played Jody Watley, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Stephanie Mills and so many more!
I get a lot of fashion inspiration watching Soul Train videos on YouTube. Those girls were there to dress their absolute best and turn it out as well, amazing! I’m a dancing diva. I can turn a lip sync like no other. Whoever I’m in the bottom with needs to bring it because there is no way I’m going out without the claws coming out.
Season 1 Remastered is going to be alluring. You’re going to need a tissue to wipe your tears after I wipe you all out.
Our next queen is a well-known worrier and spooky ooky kooky extraoirdnare! Please welcome—
QUEEN #8: Kornucopia!
. . .
ORIGINALLY: 4th Place
. . .
Kornucopia is serving some sort of undead, glamazon humanoid that crawled out of a gold vat. Every single inch of her exposed skin is coated in gold glitter. This mainly includes her head (which has been completely shaved), neck, and arms. Her garment is a gold sequin mermaid dress, the same color as her skin so that the two almost blend together. The only thing that sets them apart are their textures. The dress follows the standard mermaid silhouette, with tons of black neoprene ruffles at the bottom of the dress, and a front slit that exposes her lower left leg and a black, seven inch stiletto. The sleeveless garment is held up by two thick, black elastic straps. The black elements are to give the idea that the creature before the camera used to be a glamorous lady who was out for a night on the town. The straps, along with the ruffles and heel, also prevent the look from being an overflow of gold and sparkles. All along Korn’s arms and hands are long, almost floor-length strings of gold beads that have been connected to her skin with an adhesive before applying the glitter. Molten skin, but make it high fashion. The beads are closely threaded together to give them more of a melting, dripping appearance.
As the camera gets closer, a few finishing touches of Kornucopia’s look are revealed. She lifts her head to reveal the fine details of her face. Her eyes are completely covered by black sclera contacts. She opens her mouth in a snarl, revealing two rows of sharp teeth prosthetics. The fake teeth have been completely coated in non-toxic black paint, as has Korn’s tongue. Meanwhile, the rest of her mouth is pale white, with a slight gold-yellow tint. Korn also sports sharp, sparkling golden nails.
…
Ding dong! The witch is back! My name is Kornucopia, because I got a lot to give. I’m 28 years old from Salem, Massachusetts! I’m campy, creepy and odd: the perfect combination to slay this competition!
My drag is inspired by the work of Laila McQueen for the goth, Kim Chi for her out of the box looks, and Melissa Befierce for her versatility. Honorable mention: Disasterina, icon. All of that mixed up together resulted in me, the Season 1’s 4th place that is ready to slay the competition again! I truly am a gift that keeps on giving!
I was raised somewhere in the middle of Wyoming, then hitchhiked my way to Salem, Massachusetts. Living here was my destiny. Some of the people who lived here long ago were supposedly witches, and I have taken a lot of inspiration from the history of Salem. I believe I deserve to be the next drag superstar because I am something different.
Yes, we’ve had Sharon and Sasha, who gave crazy and unique looks, but I feel what departments they were lacking in, I have that. I can do comedy, socialize properly, and not rely just one thing. I’m not gonna say I should win because I’m ‘weird’ but. . .. I should win because I’m weird.
Our next queen went by the name of Proud Mary but, to quote Monique who quoted the Bible, “what is done in the dark shall eventually come to light.” And the light is blazing! Please welcome—
QUEEN #9: Alex!
. . .
ORIGINALLY: 2nd Place
. . .
There is a giant dusty liquid hyperbaric chamber upright with the writing “Winter 2017: Season #1 Escape Pod” on it. Alex is shown to be stepping out with a moldy blue and green heel stuck and peeling off from her skin. The glass door is opened from the top (similar to the one from the 1979 movie Alien). Blue dyed water pours out from the bottom. Alex is completely naked with what seems to be mold and algae all over her body. Her eyes are as white as fog and are bleeding a gooey blue blood. Her skin has a slight light blue colour to it with red veins all over her body. Her hair is dyed a navy blue and buzzed into a military style haircut. Scales have formed all around her body and shine with a green tint against the lighting.
…
Hello! My name is Alex but you can refer to me by my drag name… GARTHOLOMEW! No, it’s Alex too.
I was referred to as Proud Mary in Season 1 but it didn’t roll off the tongue well. It didn’t keep rolling if you know what I mean. Yes, boring, I KNOW, EVITA.
I’m from the country of Canadia eh and I’m turning 22 tomorrow. Practically a sad MILF already. The origin of my name is that I like being referred to by my real name on stage and not some stupid name like Evita.
My drag style can be described with “quitter”, “over emotional” and “wow-I-can’t-believe-he-didn’t-quit-yet”. I decided to return because I love this game with all my heart. What gives me an edge is that I know how this game works. I’ve in some way been apart of every season so far. My drag is inspired by my intense road rage at the guy that attempted to run me off the road when I was leaving work. I’m also known for my high energy, tight lip sync performances on the stage.
Fill in the blank: Season 1 Remastered is going to be— Marianna’s. My final message? Hmm.
AAAAAAAAAAA
Our next two queens are NOT from RDR1, they have been instead asked to enter the competition because of special circumstances. Our next queen is technically the first winner ever of this whole series, but will she snatch the official title of Reddit's First Drag Superstar? Please welcome—
QUEEN #10: Bianca Bibancos!
. . .
A NEW CHALLENGER ARRIVES!
. . .
Wearing a black and white mermaid gown, Bianca poses for the promo picture with a dress that fits her body perfectly. With a V-neckline the look is very Frankenstein inspired: the two parts of the sequins dress, divided in black and white halves are “stitched” together with big, oversized, almost comical sized over proportioned crooked stitches, that go from the bottom of her skirt to her breasts. Over her left breast, a small cut whole lets out “drops” of blood made out of fabric. Her skin is also painted half and half, but half green (on the same side where the dress is black) and half purple (on the white side of the dress). Bianca’s body is painted in perfect symmetry, dividing her body in two, with the exception of her right hand, painted in yellow, and part of her left shoulder, painted in blue. She’s multicolored, and in the division between a colour and other, there are also a line of fake stitches splitting her body parts. On her face, her makeup is simple: a black lip (with cartoonish stitches cutting across her lips from ear to ear) and a white running mascara are combined with her white sclera lenses. She’s also wearing a large, hairsprayed-up-for-the-gods black and white wig split in half life two big horns.
. . .
Hola! My drag name is Bianca Bibancos! Bianca is 24 years old from Brasil, and she's the intersection between Honey Boo Boo and Billy the Puppet!
Bianca is a dark-minded, horror fan camp comedy queen ready to win all the challenges and send the other Kandy Ho's packin! I love to tell stories with my characters and- Oh, sorry, only three words! Fuck it, Bianca also likes to break the rules.
I started drag after being inspired by legendary alumni like Max, Milk, Acid Betty (hopefully I get further than those queens). I watched the show and thought, "Y'know, I would do this and this if I was there", and so, Bianca was born, and she has trained to get that crown!
I look forward to WINNI- cough. Oh god, what was that? I have to no clu—SEND THEM BITCHES HOME— cough— I am so sorry, I have no idea what came over me, I needs to settle down. Keeping it real: I look forward to hearing from fans, having fun and letting my creativity go full force!
I hope everyone enjoys watching this international fish be crowned! It's Bibancos time! And remember, come TO Brasil, but don't come FOR Brasil.
Our final contestant of the day was an early out from RDR4, but because of divine intervention herself, she has been given new life on RDR1 Remastered. Please welcome—
QUEEN #11: Ruby Jubilee!
. . .
A NEW CHALLENGER ARRIVES
. . .
Ruby’s skin is painted snow white, contoured with dark shadows to give definition in her face, arms and legs. She is further detailed with intricate blue veins, etched on her skin all around. Her hair is a big 80’s tease and crimp, coloured black with two white streaks on either side of her head, in a half-up ponytail, the rest of her hair flowing down to the small of her back. Her face is snatched using high contours and dark features. Wearing blackout contacts, her eyes are completely smoked, complimented with her signature red glittery lip. Cascading from her bottom lip, is dark red blood FX, dripping all the way down her neck. Her nails are long stiletto points, coloured in a pattern of red and black, and every finger is covered in a ring of different size and shape of animal skulls. Around her neck, she wears a black leather choker, on which hangs an inverted pentagram. Attached to the choker, is a Dracula-esque collar, rising high around her neck. Supporting her enlarged breastplate, is a leather corset, adorned with red crystals (replicas to those of her final runway from S4), that cinches her waist to unordinary levels. Wearing matching leather cuffs on her forearms, a leather cape that is attached on the cuffs and the high cut of the corset bellows as a train behind her, adorned with silver engravings of bats and cobwebs. Her lower half is a black leather hoop skirt, further adorned in red crystals, and lined in crimson red crinoline, however it split in the front, revealing her long, statuesque legs. To finish the look, she wears the same red pumps from her original promo, but now, the heel of the shoe is a sparkling silver cobweb.
…
I am Ruby Jubilee, the drag firework! I am 21 years old and I hail all the way from hot-as-fuck Australia! And yes, my down under is just as big as Eureka’s ego! No shade, just loving tea! Ruby is my grandmother’s birthstone, and my grandmother is easily the most glamorous woman I know, besides from myself, of course). Jubilee is in honour of the X-Men character, that bitch was a walking firework show! That’s also why I’m known as the drag firework, when I’m on stage, I am the only shimmering spectacle, and ALL eyes are on me and my tucked labia.
My drag style in 3 words? I’m not good at math, so we’re gonna use 5 words. Curvy, because I’m not tryna be some twig bitch. I am ridiculous, barely taking life seriously, except this competition, I'm reading to put on a bitchy power-suit and enter a financial debate. I am most definitely theatrical, I’m a centre-stage whore; I like spotlights and being the most dramatic queen in the club. I’m also fierce, I mean, have you seen my contour? But most of all, the best word to describe me is BAM! Did I lose the Q&A portion?
I auditioned for Season 4 because I was low-key obsessed with reading the earlier seasons, and I said, if these pretend queens can do it, then I can shit all over their parade. Just kidding, I just want to show people that I still got it. I’m a fresh queen who pays homage to theatrical traditions, and I’m excited to show people the siamese, conjoined twins of old and new drag. I’ve got an edge on the other queens because I’ve spent all my life dodging dingoes and boxing kangaroos. Ok but for real I think what makes me stand out is that I’m not a “category” queen. I can be campy, I can be fishy, I can be a diva, I can have the sad storyline that producers are pushing from Day 1. If you give me a challenge, I’m gonna win.
Thank you. My drag is inspired by MELODRAMA. My theatre background sorta instilled in me that even the most extra things are boring, turn that shit up to 1001%, nothing less. Whether that be a performance of 10 death drops and 24 splits, or an outfit that is literally cutting my body— still have cuts on knees from the last time, I promise I’m not hoe— I have to be extra. Like Bianca Del Rio Season 7 finale extra. It’s a problem, but I love it. I am known for KILLER lip-syncs, where I mix stupid, often inappropriate humour, with a diva track that results in spins, kicks, twirls and hurls . Yes, vomiting. I also sing live, thanks to the theatre background. Yes, I am THAT queen. Now toss your tips, Reddit! And a final message for my competitors: You’re doing amazing, sweetie!
Except for Serena.
Well, there we have it folks. Our eleven queens of the season! Stay tuned every week to see who goes home, who wins, and who will eventually snatch the crown of Reddit's First Drag Superstar!
