My 11 Favorite Drag Queens From RuPaul's Drag Race
Maggie Yates

If there has been one show that I can confidently say that I have been obsessed with, it would definitely be "RuPaul's Drag Race". To fill in those whom have not seen or heard of the show, "RuPaul's Drag Race" is hosted by the legendary, famous, and glamorous, drag queen RuPaul and is joined by a panel of regular judges, most notable, Michelle Visage and Santino Rice, as well a celebrity guest judge every episode. Each season of the reality competition, anywhere from 9 to 14 drag queens compete each other, in mini and main challenges, to win prizes and the title of "America's next drag super star".

Originally, I had first watched this show on Netflix (before it was removed) back in 2012 and binge watched seasons two to four with no regrets. Now, featured on Hulu with all seasons from four up to 8, I have fallen back into my old ways and have fallen back in love with this fantastic show.

Which each season though, I, along with many others like me, fall in love with a variety of different queens. In this article, I want to share my 11 favorite drag queens from the various season of Drag Race.

1. Latrice Royale


Large and in charge, Latrice is a tough one beat. She rocked my world on season four and sometimes left me in tears.


The level of sass that originates from her is just other worldly. Big, tall and sickening is what she is.


2. Joslyn Fox

Representing one of my favorite cities in my home state, Joslyn Fox from Worcester, Massachusetts, came to season six and left some entertaining impressions on us all.

First by saying common expressions incorrectly and then leaving us with her signature move "Keep it Foxy! Wah! Wah!" (basically a double boob tap). Not to mention her incredibly impressive body.

3. Raja Gemini

Coming in from season three, Raja Gemini rocked my world with stunning beauty and an unforgettably deep voice, which shows you don't have to sound feminine to be one of the most amazing drag queens of all time.

Not to mention, her ability to throw shade is honestly on point.

4. Chad Michaels

I know what you are thinking, and no, this is not Cher. Chad Michaels is an impressive Cher impersonator from season four. Chad is fierce and proved to us all that age does not matter when it comes to drag; rather, older queens can slay better than most.

Cher wasn't the only character she channeled, there was a variety of impressive drag outfits that were certainly out there, but nonetheless kept us entertained.

5. Bob the Drag Queen

The fun name matches the wacky personality of the gorgeous, sexy, and absolutely hysterical Bob the Drag Queen. From season 8, Bob threw off everyone, but ultimately, they just couldn't handle a fishy queen from New York.

Bob's philosophy for the season was walk into the room purse first; always, with a gigantic purse she had made for a challenge in the first episode.

6. Katya Zamolodchikova

Or just known as Katya, she represented Massachusetts once again on season seven. Katya came along way in the competition and revealed to us her past addictions and now soberness.

She had us crying tears and reminding us that life is not always glamorous. However, she is still a brave and wonderful queen whom we are lucky to have.

7. Adore Delano

A true Cali cat, Adore Delano from season six was one of three very memorable queens. Previously making far on season seven of "American Idol", Adore has the voice of an angel, but portrayed to us the mindset of a valley girl, but she used that to her advantage against the pack of ferocious season six queens. Though, let's not forget her two most famous sayings.

and

8. Bianca Del Rio

Speaking of season six, lets move on to the third memorable queen, Bianca Del Rio. A mean girl, a sassy girl, using her Rolodex of Hate, as described by her, to sass up the entire competition.

Don't get her way, because she will take you down.

9. Alaska Thunderfuck

Coming out from season five, Alaska Thunderfuck brought us some odd outfits, but a personality that we came to love.

Gracing us on the stage with "Hieee" and and a great sense of humor, Alaska gave season five the spirit it needed.

10. Pandora Boxx

An unforgettable gal from season two, Pandora lit up the stage, as well as Facebook, with her presence. Her best moment had to have been from Celebrity Snatch Game when she played Carol Channing.

It had me on the floor dying of laughter.

11. Sharon Needles

The truest spooky bitch that runway has seen to this date, Sharon came to season four and showed us that it is truly okay to be different. That you don't have to fit in with the crowd to go far in life.

Weird is an understatement. She was turning heads and flipping questions marks, but she brought that weirdness with a high level of fierceness to the catwalk.


Now, these are only a select few, and others have differing opinions on their favorites. What do you think? Who would you put on this list?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
