Drag Race Philippines

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome back to another round-up of news from the fiercest queens from around the world (literally) and catch up with your favorite performers from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

If you’re a WOW Presents Plus subscriber (and if you’re not, you should be), you’re witnessing charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent from across the globe as Drag Race Down Under, Canada’s Drag Race, and now Drag Race Philippines are serving up heaping helpings of eleganza and drama.

If that’s not enough, we also have new videos and music from some of our most beloved content queens. There’s lots to get to, so let’s bring it to the runway!

All Stars season 7’s Monét X Change takes the spotlight for the latest episode of “Portrait of a Queen.” From her childhood home in Brooklyn, she discusses growing up in St. Lucia, her drag origins and her lengthy career (including, of course, her time on Drag Race and All Stars.)

TS Madison talks with Ru and Michelle for The Hollywood Reporter. The pair chat about the ongoing success of the show, how they come up with the show’s many challenges and so much more.

This week, the Drag Race universe got one step closer to eventual world domination with the premiere of Drag Race Philippines. The first episode brought the drama…it’s no wonder this series is the first international franchise with its very own separate Untucked (which airs on Fridays on WOW Presents Plus.) Meet the queens and get your first look at this exciting new series here:

Trixie is back again to ransack your wallet. On Friday, she launched her new collection of beauty tools, including an eyelash curler (a must-have in my book), tweezers, a makeup sponge, and beauty scissors. I love these tools and I always love Trixie’s showcase videos.

Peppermint has released the first single from the second volume of her “Letters to My Lovers” trilogy and released a gorgeous new video for the first single. The song, “Broken Home” from the upcoming release Moment of Weakness: Letters to My Lovers” (which you can pre-save here) features a sultry duet with Jerome Bell Bastien. “Broken Home” is that moment that you KNOW, it's the beginning of the end. Contrary to the feelings expressed every morning, “maybe if we don't go any further we can at least keep things pleasant”. says Peppermint.

If you want to see Peppermint perform this and her other songs live make sure to snatch your tickets for the “Letters Live/Good Juju” tour with Jujubee, which kicks off on November 2 in Seattle, with stops across the country.
