Vancouver’s Next Drag Superstar is . . .

Cruella De Vag, obviously!

I called it in my latest Blitz & Shitz column in Xtra, and last night at the finale of Vancouver’s Next Drag Superstar at Celebrities Nightclub, with guest judge Alyssa Edwards, the Vag proved me right.

Cruella has won herself two tickets to New York City to the finale party of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6.
