Des drag queens montréalaises dans le casting officiel de Canada's Drag Race!

Hier on annonçait tous les détails que l’on avait pu récolter à ce jour au sujet de la nouvelle compétition et série de télé-réalité Canada’s Drag Race (CDR), spin-off canadien de la célèbre émission américaine RuPaul’s Drag Race (RPDR).

Et bien aujourd’hui mesdames et messieurs, on ne pouvait contenir notre joie et notre excitation face au dévoilement du casting officiel des participant.e.s de cette première saison!

Avec en musique de fond la chanson Man! I Feel Like A Woman de Shania Twain, la bande-annonce ne pourrait pas être plus canadienne que ça.

En plus d’emplir nos coeurs de fierté (OOOH, CANADAA!) en voyant cette version canadienne et patriotique de RPDR, mettant en vedette des queens de chez nous, on était d’autant plus exaltés de voir parmi les concurrent.e.s des queens montréalaises, Kiara et Rita Baga!

🎼 This is the beginning! 🎼Took me 13 years to have this chance, this amazing opportunity. I can’t believe the news is…
