What is Drag Race?

If you’re not familiar with the show, RuPaul’s drag race is a reality tv show that aims to find America’s next drag superstar. To fully understand what drag race is, it’s important to know what drag means.
Contrary to popular belief, drag is more than just dressing up as a woman. It’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of gender identity. To do drag is to tell a story.
Drag has evolved to the point that there’s no one description to describe what drag means. It could be tacky, camp, glamor, and high fashion.
As the host, RuPaul once said, “We’re all born naked, and the rest is drag.”
In this show, we’re introduced to different interpretations of the term. Queens are thrown challenges that aim to test their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
The show is a perfect mix of entertainment, drama, and chaos.
Who will be joining the cast?
With over 18 franchises to choose from, 9 lucky queens have been chosen to battle it out. Make no mistakes, all these queens are one to watch.
Here is the revealed cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Canada vs.The World.

Fans were previously devastated when she first sashay-away in Drag Race Down Under. Though her time was short, she made sure to make an impact and land herself an invite to a future franchise. Now presented with another opportunity, will she redeem herself and take the crown?
2. Icesis Couture
The winner of Canada’s Drag Race Season 2, will also be competing to represent the country. Although many were surprised to see Icesis, as she only won last December 2021, another crown won’t hurt, right?

The lipsync assassin that stormed Drag Race UK season 3 is back for vengeance. She’s here to prove that she has what it takes to be the queen of the world.
