The latest season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is making waves, not just for its fierce competition but for some heartwarming and hilarious behind-the-scenes moments. At a recent Emmy campaign event, the show’s producers, judges, and Season 17’s top queens—including winner Onya Nurve—spilled the tea on everything from runway inspirations (Naomi Campbell, anyone?) to drag makeovers for their dads (imagine a straight Latino dad getting the full glam treatment!). The panel, hosted by superfan Leslie Jones, was a mix of laughs, nostalgia, and proud moments, showcasing why Drag Race remains a cultural powerhouse.
Editor’s Note: Drag Race isn’t just a reality show—it’s a celebration of artistry, identity, and family (chosen or otherwise). This story highlights how the series continues to push boundaries while staying relatable, whether it’s through high-fashion homages or touching personal stories. For fans, it’s a reminder of why they love the show; for newcomers, it’s a peek into the heart and humor that make drag culture so vibrant.
