I know we’re still reeling from the RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars finale but it’s time to wipe the mirror slate clean. Season 10 premieres tonight! Listen, I get it. I wish VH1 gave us breathing room between the two shows. But this is happening and I don’t want to go it alone. So buck up, read the Season 10 queens’ VH1 bios, and get excited. If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for me. VH1 is going to run Untucked right after the show. Does that help?
Aquaria
Aquaria already has a big reputation preceding her into the competition. At just 21, Aquaria has been photographed by Steven Klein for the pages of Vogue Italia. Confident and at the center of New York’s Drag Scene, Aquaria has the support of some of nightlife’s biggest legends.
Asia O’Hara
Texas is back in the house. A formidable competitor on the pageant circuit, Asia won Miss Gay America the first time she entered. Multi-talented, Asia has a costuming business on the side, designing for color guard teams and ice skaters.
Blair St. Clair
A small-town girl with big city dreams, Blair St. Clair is a Broadway baby at heart. Combining her love of musicals with her passion for drag, Blair plans to sing, dance and act her way across the finish line of the competition.
Dusty Ray Bottoms
Self-described as “dark, glamorous and trashy,” this punky queen defies categorization. Look for the queen with the signature dotty-faced makeup. A Kentucky native who moved to the big apple to pursue acting, Dusty channeled his desire to perform into drag.
She’s back! Season 9’s Southern belle departed way too soon after injuring her knee. But Eureka is back following knee surgery, and hungrier than ever to prove herself the second time around.
Kalorie Karbdashian Williams
Kalorie’s infectious giggle might be the first thing to enter a room, but it’s her gravity-defying ass that has all eyes on it as she leaves. This twerk queen proudly flaunts her curvaceous body in daring sexy dance performances.
Kameron Michaels
You’re equally as likely to find this tattooed muscle queen down at the gym pumping iron, as you are to find performing at her local drag bar in Nashville. Deliberately intending to capture strength and beauty, Kameron Michaels is the bodybuilder Barbie doll.
Mayhem Miller
Mayhem enters the competition with big expectations, as the sister of Drag Race alumni like Raven, Morgan McMichaels, Delta and Detox. Mayhem dazzles her Los Angeles’ audiences with polish and sass.
Miz Cracker
Proud to call Bob The Drag Queen her drag mother, Miz Cracker began doing drag as a member of Bob’s Marches for Equality in Times Square. Pretty and witty, Miz Cracker captures you with her beauty, and then surprises you with the belly laughs.
Monique Heart
A creative well-rounded queen who knows how to do hair, makeup, dance… and make an entrance. A devoted christian, Monique enters the competition hungrier than most to win, and with a promise to live up to her moniker as the “Heart of Season 10.”
Monét X Change
Monét blurs the lines of comedy, performance and New York City grit. A degree in Opera Performance means she’s the singer of the season, while her bright colorful street style ensures all the judges eyes will be on her.
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo
Get these cookies, baby! Drag Race All Star Alexis Mateo’s drag daughter brings electricity to the stage, with her high-energy dance performances and winning personality. Will Vanessa finish the job that Alexis Mateo started?
The Vixen
Hailing from Chicago’s South Side, The Vixen combines elements of political art and protest into her performances. This vocal, woke queen brings both activism and fire to the stage – and is not about to take on her competition lying down.
Yuhua Hamasaki
Originally hailing from China, Yuhua moved to Manhattan’s Chinatown when she was seven. Now a sickening seamstress by day and a hard-working queen by night, Yuhua regularly sews gowns for New York royalty like Peppermint and Bob the Drag Queen.
All that glitters is not gold unless we’re talking about Eureka. Besides, who else can rock hair loaves? Happy belated Ms. Cocotte!
Bring it on! Just hope Aquaria doesn’t have the young cocky attitude of Violet Chachki. I’m rooting for Miss Cracker. Any word on if Blair St Clair gets disqualified? She recently had a WILLAM 2.0 outfit on during an interview.
IMO, too many filler queens this season…most of them remind me of past personalities. Esp Monet Xchange and Bob
Hi Lady C, glad to see you. I am looking forward to sharing this season with you. I hope this season rivals season five ( my favorite season to date). I couldn’t find Untucked listed so I am assuming it is part of the episode and not a separate show.
I enjoy your recaps and I follow you on twitter. Do you have any other sites that I need to follow because I support you as best I can.
Thanks for the summary on this season’s Queens. I haven’t had much spare time and only knew of Eureka. Love your recaps- bring on S10!
Lady C. you must look up Desmond Is Amazing – a 10 yr old drag queen taking NYC by storm! Too bad she’s too young to be on.
I’m from NM, so I guess I’ll have to support Kalorie, but she seems like a bitchy doll who would annoy me, you know, like the real Kardashians. There are so many New York dolls, it seems a little biased.
I’m gonna predict that Aquaria will be another Aja (season 9 version), Farrah, Kimora, Miss Fame, Sandsnake (for those who like the GoT references). She might prove me wrong but the queens that have focused mainly on their aesthetic usually fall flat and from what I’ve seen she definitely fits the ‘the thrill of smiling with all the excitement of standing there’ mould.
I hope to see Eureka excel, I like that she’s different and not afraid to get messy.
Popping the corn for tonight!
My dvr won’t let me record it, so every chicken and dog gets fed an hour before the show starts. These shows are NOT starting at all on time. This past week, they were supposed to show every season? Nope. Season 1 was replaced by AS3. And every show I recorded was cut off at beginning or end. Yes, I set my dvr to record 5 mins early and 15 mins late. So, a live viewing it is.
Thank you, Lady C, for dedicating yourself to this season.
Since I am Midwest, I am rooting for Blair St. Clair. I wonder why no St. Louis queen has gotten on.
RuPaul really needs to do a Drag King season.
I’m here for Miss Eureka’s return y’all. I also think Asia and Yuhua will both probably be fabulous because they can sew!
Warning Andy Fucking Cohen is going to be on this season at some point. UGH.
The only time I want to see Andy Fucking Cohen is if I was Fucking Andy Cohen.
Mmmhhhmm.
It’s really interesting how some queens are connected to past queens. It’s quite the network. I’m excited for this cast!
