Meet the 8 sickening queens competing on 'Drag Den Philippines'
Who will be the first-ever Filipino Drag Supreme?
Drag Den Philippines has announced the eight sickening queens that will be competing on the reality competition on Nov. 17, a day after it released its first teaser.
"Magpayong ka! Dahil jujulanis morisette ng beauty, wit, and talent dito sa ating underground Baranggayan," it said.
Hosted by Manila Luzon, the show will also feature TikTok star Sassa Gurl as Drag Runner and Miss Grand International 2016 first runner-up Nicole Cordoves as Drag Dealer.
Before the show premieres on Prime Video on December 8, let's get to know the queens who'll be vying for the crown.
O-A
O-A (pronounced as Odasha) was the first queen announced to be part of the Drag Den cast. This Nectar performer was chosen by fans to join the show, winning the public online vote.
From photos on her Instagram, O-A serves glamorous and campy looks as well as does cosplay, transforming into The Incredibles' Elastagirl and characters from X-Men.
Maria Cristina
The founder of Drag Academy PH and a fierce advocate of LoveYourself Inc., Maria Cristina or MC Black makes looks inspired by Philippine culture.
"Get ready to hate the villain of the season! Bwahahahaha" she said in an Instagram story sharing the Drag Den trailer.
Aries Night
Another Nectar girl, Aries Night brings horror and glam when she performs. This queen channeled Carrie for her first solo performance—she dumped a bucket of blood on her prom dress.
Barbie-Q
This trans queen serves sickening cosplay looks and is a dancing diva. Barbie-Q joined Eat Bulaga's DancingKween in April, gagging the audience with her high-energy routine set to the tune of Britney Spears' Toxic.
Shewarma
Sexy and sultry, 23-year-old Shewarma can beat a mug (face) like it's nobody's business. She's also pretty hot out of drag, just check her TikToks.
Pura Luka Vega
Pura Luka Vega is a bearded queen serving art on the stage. This queen also performs at Nectar Nightclub and was part of Power Mac Center's recent Portraits, a visual storytelling series showcasing the camera prowess of the iPhone.
NAIA
NAIA Black was also part of PMC's Portraits alongside Luka and Drag Race Philippines season 1 winner Precious Paula Nicole. This sickening queen also hosted drag brunches at Butterboy.
Lady Gagita
As her name suggests, Lady Gagita is a Lady Gaga and Katy Perry tribute artist, but now does all kinds of drag. Recently, she transformed into Iza Calzado's Darna, Cherie Gil, Leni Robredo, and made TV appearances on Magpakailanman: BornToBeAQueen and Family Feud with her drag family, Haus of Gagita.
