Australia has a new reigning queen! The second season of Drag Race Down Under came to a close this week. The latest winner of the Drag Race franchise is Spankie Jackzon! The queen who wore one of the worst outfits ever made for a design challenge and nearly went home for it during the first episode charmed her way to the end! The fabulous and endearing queen won over not only our hearts but the whole dang thing! Congrats, Spankie! 

Hulu is combining two of our favorite things: Halloween and drag!

There’s a new Halloween special set to hit Hulu on October 1st. Huluween Dragstravaganza features a whole lineup for some of our favorite drag performers including Monet X Change, Ginger Minj, Lady Bunny, Jackie Beat, Manila Luzon, Landon Cider, and JujuBee, just to name a few! Oh yeah, and Kesha joins the cast, too! 

The show will feature 5 original musical numbers, which will be released to download, of course. 

Lawrence Chaney is an author, baby!

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’s Lawerence Chaney isn’t only the winner, baby, they are also an author! Her book, (Drag) Queen of Scots: Life, Lessons On Paint, Pride, and Padding hits bookshelves today, September 23rd. The book shares stories from their past, including behind-the-scenes info from Season 2 of Drag Race UK. Most importantly, however, they open up about mental health, finding strength, and struggling with gender identity. 

You can grab a copy of Lawrence’s book wherever books are sold!
