Meet the queens of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12’

Idk about you, but we are ready to gag this decade


Who will be the new decade’s first drag superstar? On Thursday, RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11 winner Yvie Oddly announced the cast of Season 12 via Twitter—and we are gagging.

With a theme reminiscent of Yvie’s drag (or Dragula ) each queen sashayed on the runway while RuPaul’s “American” played in the background.Maybe they’re looking for the next patriotic queen?

Either way, we’re looking forward to this new season of Drag Race. Place your bets, because here are the queens of Season 12!
