Feelin’ myself like I’m Norma Jean… 💇🏼♀️ @connormccalden 👗 @desirediseiye 🧤 @lucindamiu It was really important for me to represent my community with this #CanadasDragRace look. Being a trans non-binary queen, drag helped me discover a side of myself that I didn’t know I needed. I’m really happy & proud that I got to work with my long-time friend Diseiye on this outfit, as they are also non-binary and an absolute star in their field. I hope you can all see this season how much love I put into this art form! Thank you to @canadasdragrace @cravecanada for giving me this platform to express my art! I can’t wait to watch this season with all of you!!!
💦 Don’t cry for me, Amanda 💦 The hundred dollar question: Why was I crying??? Well, what they didn’t show was that I actually did 17 backflips down the runway, and my IBS flared up, so I was crying because I shit my pants. Violently. Well, every cloud has its silver lining – at least I lost 15 pounds that day. Something to think about. 📸 @julieriemersma 🕶 @_silenciaeyewear_ 👗 Remade by ME!

You are incredibly skilled. Endless love and thank-yous to my incredible promoters @angelcitycontinental. You gave me the confidence and held my hand through the entire process to do this. From my first flight to my first National pageant package, you were there, and that support means the world to me. I can’t wait to be in San Antonio to support Angel City Continental at the next prelim. Whoever gets to do this with you all next year is VERY lucky!!! Thank you as well to my amazing dresser @rlmjr_gba ! I would’ve been a mess without you I swear. You truly went the extra mile and I’m honoured to have worked with you! To my support system at home who brought my package to life, I really owe you one!!! … or two… or three or four… @lucindamiu (presentation, interview, swimwear) @connormccalden (talent gown hair, evening gown hair) @matthewjewson (evening gown) I’m wishing the best of luck to my Angel City sister @yeisa_jovovich tonight!!!

❗️Today we’re gonna talk about mental health.❗️TW; depression, suicide Swipe to read ➡️ P.S. This is a statement of the feelings I experienced on the show. By no means do I believe that what I felt is 100% factual, and I know that no harm was meant by anyone involved. These are just my feelings. P.P.S. No, being eliminated doesn’t make me feel depressed. I was happy to leave as I couldn’t emotionally handle what was happening at the time. Don’t feel bad for me, I am happy and grateful for the experience. 📸 @fdc.photo 🪄 @retoucher_ryan 👓 @_silenciaeyewear_ 💇🏼♀️ @ophelia_manson 🩱 @madebyleelando

🕶 Mx. Anderson… 🕶 *SPOILERS* The Matrix was directed by the Wachowski sisters, who are both trans women. The film is also an allegory for the trans experience. For this reason, I wanted to use this look to celebrate trans artistry. So I recruited 2 of my friends from Montreal, @denimpusssy and @zincofax, to show you all some trans drag excellence! The photos were also shot by the amazing non-binary photographer @nastia.jpg! Additional retouching magic by @retoucher_ryan! I was so sad to say goodbye to my sister @_thesukidoll this week. It wasn’t really shown, but we connected instantly and were quite close on the show, and Suki was a wonderful help to me in many times of self doubt. I will carry her messages of positivity with me going forward! I love you Suki!!! 📸 @nastia.jpg 🪄 @retoucher_ryan Eve’s look: 😎 @_silenciaeyewear_ 💇🏼♀️ @wigzaddy 🧥 @lucindamiu Denim’s look: @itsheavengenderfck Zinc’s look: Sean Ryan Dornan

❤️ I wanna be loved by you… ❤️ I have to say a special thanks to @stephaniesbutt, who helped me bring up my performance and be more Vincent Price than Carrie Bradshaw. Stephanie is an absolute icon and one of the people I connected with the most on & after the show. She deserves so much love and I can’t wait to see her perform at one of her many sold out shows! The queen of Calgary will be missed in the werk room! 📸 @julieriemersma 💇🏼♀️ @byianrussell 👗 @madebyleelando Catsuit Airbrushing & hair worn on the runway by @connormccalden (thanks to my stoning squad @theonlysapphire @missfiercalicious @misslunadubois for making me sparkle!)
🤡 How is your head? 🤡 Can’t wait for Thursday! Another episode of Canada’s Drag Race awaits… I wonder what kind of tricks I have up my sleeve??? 📸 @samblakesam 💇🏼♀️ @wigzaddy 🦁 @madebyleelando / @theonlysapphire
🦁 No offense… 🦁 The claws came out this week. I have to admit – I let my insecurities get the better of me. I had unfair expectations of another competitor who was just trying to do well in the same competition, and I was completely tactless when I was trying to talk about the judging. What I love most about @kendallgender is that she is a true cheerleader for all of us. She is not shy about showing her love and appreciation for other artists, and I will never be shy about saying how much I love Kendall! I love you sis!!! The concept for this look came from my friend @theonlysapphire, and we worked tirelessly together building the structure of the head and figuring out exactly how it would all work. The bulk of the look was finished by @madebyleelando. 📸 @samblakesam 🪄 @retoucher_ryan 💇🏼♀️ @wigzaddy 🦁 @madebyleelando / @theonlysapphire
