I thought Melissa Befierce would’ve been the first to crossover, she’d be drag race GOLD. She’s got the looks in AND out of drag she’s handsome as fvck, the personality, the attitude and demeanor to give some good confessionals and even be the seasons narrator, the performances are on lock, plus she’s a weho regular so she’s all up and through the drag race scene as it is.
Yes! I've seen so much talk about Melissa campaigning to get herself on drag race. I really hope it's true. She would kill it. And the drama would be BROUGHT
Some things I want to say about this list: 1. I’m a little surprised you didn’t include Erika Klash, Loris, or HoSo Terra Toma since they also seem like they’d dominate the game. 2. Some people I personally also think would do well (though I’m not sure how many would agree) are Koco Caine and Astrud Aurelia. 3. Evah actually has stated she won’t try out for Drag Race again. She did several times and was actually close to getting cast on Seasons 8 and 9, but after she didn’t make the cut, she gave up and turned to Dragula.
I fully agree with Koco. She would do so well with drag race style challenges. And could you imagine the personality she would bring with that level of production?! It would be unmatched. Hoso definitely has the level of polish and attitude needed to slay on drag race. I don't know that Erika has the level of polish needed, I haven't seen a big upgrade of her drag since her original season. And tbh I don't love Loris' personality 🙈 maybe an unpopular opinion. Yeah, I know about Evah's refusal to audition for drag race again. But I would still love to see her in that setting. Her drag is so good she needs to be showcased as many times as possible! It was so exciting to see Jade crossover to the world of Dragula, I just hope we get to see a Dragula ghoul do the same thing.
Of these, the one I'd most like to see would be Sigourney, in part because it would be cool to see an AFAB female-presenting DA on the main US season of Drag Race. They've already had Victoria Scone on UK and Canada Vs. The World, but someone like Sigourney would be a great option for that kind of representation on Drag Race. Especially since remember, she did well on the Glamour-based challenges on Dragula, imagine what she could bring on Drag Race. My only reservation would be the misogyny she endured when she was on Dragula. I just hope she doesn't get another Merrie Cherry-type situation if she did this.
