10 Drag Queens That Could Kill It On 'RuPauls' Drag Race' Season 8

Some are older, some are younger. Some paint their faces with contours or eyes as wide as an anime character's, others with jewels and eyebrows for days. Each Drag Queen of every shape, size, race or style is unique and beautiful in their own way, but only the best of the best are lucky enough to let their name be known on the runway of LOGO's RuPaul's Drag Race. The show has brought us some of the most talented drag performers and comedians in the LGBT+ community, and where there's a will, there's always a new queen waiting for her time to shine. Thankfully, for the sake of fans and probably producers of the show, the realm of social media has made finding the next Drag Superstar a lot easier. So without further adieu, here's my personal list of Queens that I believe would fit the bill for RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8.


1. Acid Betty, 38 (New York, N.Y.)

Even though the Queens that star on Drag Race seem to mostly be on the 'fishy' side, every RPDR fan loves a queen who can think outside the box. Acid Betty has been making a name for herself for years with her trippy look with the utmost haute couture flair. Every season needs their beautifully strange chameleon, and Acid Betty would be one hell of a trip to watch.


2. Porcelain, 24 (Philadelphia, Pa.)

If there is something I have yearned for in terms of Drag Race Contestants, it is proudly tattooed queens. With the beautiful Porcelain, you'll get her beautiful ink as well as her gorgeous Gothic style, and the chance to see a darker genre of drag that none of us have seen since the season of winner Sharon Needles. Drag Race needs a queen of darkness again, and Porcelain is their girl.


3. Bible Girl, 22 (New York, N.Y.)

As a black-humored barbie doll with an infatuation with Brittany Spears, Bible Girl has a wicked cult following on social media and the potential to be the next Willam Belli if she were given the opportunity to star in Drag Race. Since most of her fans only really get to know Bible Girl through her photos and gigs, I think it would be very fun to get to know her on screen and see her full potential and personality come through, (plus, she is also one hell of a lip-sync pro).


4. Bambi Deerest, 23 (Pittsburgh, Pa.)

A glorious mix between cutesy and creepy, this underrated queen has a big following on social media outlets for her pastel-punk style and breathtaking doe eyes. Bambi is most similar to Season 7 runner-up Pearl Liason, and like Pearl, she could work as a young fashionista with a laid-back attitude who could prove herself to be an iconic underdog on the Drag Race runway.


5. Kim Chi, 26 (Chicago, Ill.)

While the past few seasons of RPDR have delivered some of the greatest drag queens from every demographic, there haven't been many Asian drag queens that have been able to stand out from the competition, with the last being Season 3 alumni Manila Luzon. Thankfully, we have Kim Chi, a uniquely delightful queen from Korea who is well known for being a cult favorite in the drag world. Kim Chi is already one of the fan-favorite front-runners for season 8, so now is the best time for this drag superstar to fully shine in the Drag Race spotlight for all the world see.


6. Peaches Christ, 41 (San Francisco, Calif.)

Ever since the legendary Drag Queen Divine died in 1988, the world of drag hasn't quite had a kooky queen who has had such a raw influence on the entire genre of Drag Comedy. But for the past decade or two, Peaches Christ has been filling Divine's shoes as one of the most deranged and unique queens in the scene today. What RuPaul's Drag Race needs in order to bring something new to the show, a queen who cares more about the dark comedy undertones of drag rather than the zealous fashion statements, a queen who is the embodiment of a show stopper and isn't afraid to cross the line, a queen like Peaches Christ.

7. Mayhem Miller, 33 (Riverside, Calif.)

You may have seen Mayhem Miller (no, not the martial arts fighter) making cameos on Willam Belli's The Beatdown, WOWPresents's Hey Qween, or Buzzfeed's The Try Guys, and if you are familiar with this scene-stealing queen, you can easily understand why she would be fantastic on the show. With her vibrant looks and sassy personality, she would work well as a fierce competitor who's not afraid to stir the pot.

8. Miss Coco Peru, 50 (Los Angeles, Calif.)

Like Peaches Christ, Coco Peru has been a household name in the drag world for many years thanks to her vibrant personality and hilarious YouTube channel. If you were to predict the chances of Ms. Peru ever gracing the Drag Race stage, there would probably be more of a chance of the audience seeing RuPaul replaced as host by Ann Coulter. But then in 2014, veteran Drag Comedienne Bianca Del Rio got her big break on season 5 and not only succeeded in winning the competition, but also became one of the biggest names to come out of the entire series. Since Bianca was able to prove the perks and possibilities of having a seasoned and popular queen in the competition, nothing seems to be stopping Coco from going head to head with some of her newer counterparts.


9. Boulet Brothers, ages unknown (Los Angeles, Calif.)


In a competition as fierce as RuPaul's Drag Race, there always seems to be one queen whose presence or personality could leave their competitors shaking in their stilettos. Now imagine that times two, and you have the Boulet Brothers. Noted mostly for opening the notorious fetish club Miss Kitty's Parlour, this provocative duo isn't afraid to push a few buttons. And what better way to one-up the competition than to bring on double the kinky androgyny!


10. Arabia Felix, 23 (Al Kuwait, Kuwait)

Though Arabia Felix may seem like just another queen whose biggest quality is an excelled skill with makeup, Arabia is so much more than meets the eye. You see, Arabia resides in Kuwait, a Middle-Eastern country where prejudicial tensions are so high that someone who identifies as gay can possibly be prosecuted under a law of "debauchery."The art of drag represented by this breathtaking desert queen is one that means so much more than dressing up or pretending to be someone else; it's a courageous person taking a stand against the hate surrounding them, and bringing out their talent in order to bring more light to those whose world may seem dark and menacing. Arabia is a beautiful queen inside and out, and if she were to join the next season of RuPaul's Drag Race she would already make history as one of the most inspiring drag queen in the competition's history.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
