Everybody who know me knows Violet Chachki is my favorite drag queen of all.
At 22 years old, the Atlanta-native won Season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race by a landslide!
That was March of 2015.
Today Violet has elevated her platform above the Drag Race franchise to be a world class show girl of extraordinary talent.
To me, she is leagues above all the rest, with her aerial performances, fetish burlesque presentation and encyclopedic knowledge of high-fashion.
Violet is unabashedly sex-positive. She exudes an expensive style of self-confidence and poise and yet she can also be super silly when she’s with Gottmik on their hit YouTube show “No Gorge” - which is basically two snooty drag queens clowning around 👑
This summer I had two opportunities to see my diva perform in all her glory. One, an up-close club gig and the other, her epic drag-burlesque-acrobatic masterpiece, A Lot More Me.
