Halal Bae, Age: 33 (Toronto, Ont.)

Pronouns: she/her in drag; he/him/they out of drag

Halal Bae is of Egyptian/Palestinian descent and moved to Toronto at 18 to pursue an openly queer life. Halal’s connection to her North African/ Middle Eastern Muslim background is heavily infused into her drag, and she’s proud of how she uses her roots to represent a side of queer identity that is often overlooked and oppressed. She has been involved in a number of events including fundraisers for HIV awareness and queer immigrant initiatives

Halal represents the intersectionality that shapes great cities across this country, that is often overlooked and marginalized, creating a space for and adding to a larger conversation about who can do drag and hopefully changing some minds along the way.

I didn’t choose drag, drag chose me, and I am so happy it did…Jada Shada Hudson is that strength and confidence I don’t have when I am my regular self and baby is she POWERFUL. The power to make any audience, any ages fall in love with not only her performances but that loving bubbly personality as well. Watch out world, the turnup queen is taking over the scene.

Kaos likes to mess with gender, and mess with people’s heads, using the art of drag. Her art includes dancing, gymnastics, singing, circus performance, and whatever weird things comes to her mind. Kaos’ badass energy and dedication to her art is an inspiration for many up-and-coming performers

My drag is chaotic and I’m the beautiful disaster.

Things to know about Vivian Vanderpuss 

Vivian loves styling her own wigs into all sorts of fabulous vintage styles, and enjoys creating looks out of fabulous vintage finds. Her self-described “glampy art and vivacious personality” combined with her genuine spirit always brings a smile to people’s faces. In drag, Vivian doesn’t always present as female, she also plays with non-binary and hyper king characters

 

To me, drag is about feeling the fantasy, whatever that fantasy is.
