Ottawa queens lip-sync for their lives

Two drag queens with ties to Ottawa are vying for a valuable Mexican getaway in RuPaul’s Lip Sync for Your Life video contest.

Robyn DeCradle, who now calls Toronto home, and Club Edge staple Jade London are currently sitting in third and fourth place respectively.

Always inventive with her costumes, DeCradle’s video finds the diva paying homage to Madonna and geisha culture.

London pops in her video, which is dripping with glamour and highlights the queen’s upbeat attitude.

The prize is a trip to Puerto Vallarta valued at $2,500.

Voters can cast one vote every 24 hours. The contest ends May 7.

Watch the entrants’ videos.
