The Week in Drag – Everything’s Coming Up Trixie and Katya, Jaida Essence Hall Gets Grilled, Alexis Mateo Gives Us “Mucho, Mucho Amor” and Mucho More

Trixie Mattel and Katya

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to our weekly wrap-up of all things Drag Race.

With the return of their web series “UNHhhh” and the success of their book, Trixie and Katya’s Guide to Modern Womanhood (which made the New York Times best-seller list), it’s been a banner week for Katya and Trixie Mattel, and we’ve got some highlights from their press junket that are sure to make you smile.

There’s also a new web series from the heart of season 10, a chat with our season 12 champion and lots more from your favorite queens. So, without further ado, let’s bring it to the runway!

US fans can now catch the fierce fashions and watch the queens from the Great White North compete for the crown on Canada’s Drag Race. And, if you missed the premiere episode, Trixie and Katya are here to recap every fabulous moment on “The Pit Stop.”
