Amanda Tori Meating:
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Instagram: @amandatorimeating
Official bio: Calling all staff: there’s a mandatory meeting to discuss this funny queen! Ready to take it to the top with her wit, wigs, and energetic moves, this talented wig stylist has done wigs for Drag Race queens Kerri and Sasha Colby, and Beyoncé’s music video dancers. Amanda is the ultimate mix of camp and comedy!


Dawn:
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Instagram: @upuntil.dawn
Official bio: The self-described "ethereal elf goddess of Brooklyn," Dawn is a fitting name for a queen who often stays up late enough to see the sunrise. Designing and constructing almost all of her eccentric looks, this kooky and artistic queen always brings a story when she hits the stage, and she’s hoping for a happy ending at Drag Race!


Geneva Karr:
Hometown: Brownsville, TX
Instagram: @geneva_karr
Official bio: ¡Viva México! RuPaul’s Drag Race’s first Mexican-born queen, Geneva witnessed her parents' struggles as they worked tirelessly to get her family safely to the United States in search of a better life. A dancing queen with a mischievous energy, she plans to be the first Mexican-born queen to win the [U.S. version's] crown!


Hershii LiqCour-Jeté:
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Instagram: @hershiiliqcour
Official bio: It’s chocolate! Part of the legendary Haus of Jeté, Hershii counts Drag Race star Kornbread Jeté as her sister. A take-no-prisoners performer with a legion of L.A.-area fans, Hershii is now ready to slay the main stage of RuPaul’s Drag Race. When not performing, Hershii is very family-oriented, and, together with her boyfriend, is raising two young children.


Megami:
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Instagram: @megaminyc
Official bio: This self-proclaimed “geek-chic" queen started doing drag as a cosplayer at conventions such as Comic Con, and from there incorporated high fashion into her characterful designs. Proudly claiming Nuyorican culture, Megami means “goddess” in Japanese, and this creative force now hopes to rule the Drag Race world!


Mhi'ya Iman LePaige:
Hometown: Miami, FL
Instagram: @queenofflipss
Official bio: Get ready for your world to be turned upside-down! An electrifying performer, Mhi’ya is known as the Queen of Flips. That’s because you can find Mhi’ya performing her thrilling flips and tricks in the sun, on the sidewalks of South Beach. Mhi’ya’s videos of her flipping onto café tables have caught fire on social media. Now, she’s ready to flip the competition on its head!


Mirage Amuro:
Hometown: Las Vegas, NV
Instagram: @mirage_amuro
Official bio: A heady mixture of stripper heels and stripper moves, the “Legs of Las Vegas” is here! Hailing from Sin City, this Native American and Mexican beauty towers in seven inches heels and legs that go on for days. Already a showgirl sensation on the Strip, this quirky queen is ready for the RuPaul’s Drag Race’s crown!


Morphine Love Dion:
Hometown: Miami, FL
Instagram: @morphinelovemua
Official bio: Body, beauty, and “mug” — just what the doctor ordered. Morphine started out doing makeup tutorials on social media. Now, she is the self-proclaimed “It Girl of Miami.” Can this trained dancer — who has been featured in Maluma and Bad Bunny music videos — cha cha her way to the top of the competition?


Nymphia Wind:
Hometown: New York, NY
Instagram: @66wind99
Official bio: Banana time! RuPaul’s Drag Race's first queen to hail from Taiwan, Nymphia came to the United States to build on her massive fanbase of “Banana Believers” — a term given to her fans thanks to her signature color yellow, and penchant for the absurd. Inspired by Asian culture, art, and tradition, let’s hope she doesn’t slip up in the competition!


Plane Jane:
Hometown: Boston, MA
Instagram: @the_planejane
Official bio: Fasten your seatbelts, because, yes, that is how you spell this diva’s name. Plane Jane is as glamorous as she is wickedly funny. Boston-raised, but with Russian roots. No stranger to competition, Plane Jane was a competitive ballroom dancer as a child. Now, she’s focusing all of her passion on becoming America’s Next Drag Superstar.


Plasma:
Hometown: New York, NY
Instagram: @plasmanyc
Official bio: Straight out of Old Hollywood, this vintage-inspired femme fatale leaves all of the boys hot and bothered. Raised listening to Julie Andrews, Judy Garland, and Barbra Streisand, Plasma channeled her love for divas into drag, and the rest is herstory. Can this queen’s BFA in Musical Theatre Performance raise the roof at RuPaul’s Drag Race? Time will tell!


Q:
Hometown: Kansas City, MO
Instagram: @living4q
Official bio: The only letter of the alphabet you ever need worry about! This talented diva is a theater queen who specializes in the costuming aspect of drag. She makes all of her own looks, plus many commissioned costumes for prior Drag Race stars. Q is ready to go all the way in this competition, one design challenge after the next!


Sapphira Cristál:
Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
Instagram: @sapphiracristal
Official bio: Philadelphia’s crown jewel, Sapphira is a serious musician with a six-octave vocal range. This powerhouse performer studied music composition, vocal performance, and opera, and in drag she can be found hosting, singing, dancing, and performing comedy. Is there anything this diva can't do?


Xunami Muse:
Hometown: New York, NY
Instagram: @xunamimuse
Official bio: This self-described “knock-off Naomi Campbell '' is the supermodel of the season. Originally from Colón, Panama, Xunami moved to New York City, where Drag Race superstar Kandy Muse became her drag mother. Signed with a modeling agency in New York, time will tell if this leggy beauty can strut her way to the top!

I’m digging Mirage and Nymphia by looking at the bios (and I think Dawn and a few others might grow on me), now I just gotta see the interviews

Ones that intrigue me initially (and on their workroom entrance) are Q, Dawn and Kershii

Nymphia Wind is the most striking for me out of these, although my favourite outfit is Saphira's.

I'm totally unspoiled for this season so I don't know what at all might be coming up! I still hope they might do a comeback challenge in the regular seasons as we haven't had one since I think S7!

So it seems like the Plane Jane accusations were a misunderstanding and even exaggeration, so Plane put a dollar in the accuser’s waistband and there is a video of it that Plane’s best friend put up, the person who accused Plane clearly played into it, laughed,enjoyed it, and she also apologised to the person. It’s very disingenuous of the accuser to not share that Plane apologised and realised that she needed to change her behaviour and think about what she does in her performances. Jay Kay from Dragula who initially backed up the accuser has now also backpedalled now there is evidence to the contrary,


I think it’s a bit icky and definitely brings up a conversation about consent in nightclubs that needs to be had but I don’t really think it’s like Sherry Pie cancel the queen level at alllll as I feared. It honestly kinda seems like the person took a chance to jump on someone who was about to become popular and exaggerated events, which could be really damaging. Jane hasn’t been my fave from the MTQ but I feel so bad for her having this piled onto her so she can’t enjoy her big day of getting onto Drag Race and sharing it with the world.

really lost any respect to jay kay through this. i didn't really enjoy her on dragula but its TV so it's not to be taken so seriously.
this, however, is real life. to go out and try and ruin someone's livelihood over something a bit ick, but ultimately not that serious, is really shitty. especially when it seems plane went out of her way immediately to try and rectify the situation at the time.

See I liked Jay on Dragula and honestly was feeling like they were getting a hard time but if anything this saga has just made me think that the cast was onto something :/

The Boulet Brothers said on their podcast that Jay Kay was constantly making sexual comments towards Orkgotik, which was actually the reason why Orkgotik poured the drink on Jay in the cauldron on episode 3. I've also seen on Twitter/X that Jay is friends with an accused rapist.
