Drag Race Announces Season 12 Contestants…And, Queer Bar Announces 2 Big Shows Starring 7 Of The 13!!!

January 23, 2020• byMichael Strangeways

Really? It’s time for Season 12 of RuPaul’s Drag Race? They just announced all the gals competing for the insanely popular competitive drag competition series hosted by RuPaul. Sadly, none are from the Pacific Northwest although a San Francisco queen made it through.

Judging by their photos/bios, it looks like the average age of these kids is embryo. I keed, I keed, but really, most of them are 20somethings with only 4 in their 30s.

The new series will kick-off on Friday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. on VH1…which is probably annoying lots of gay bar owners who would probably prefer it on a less traditionally busy bar night…bars don’t need to entice people to come in on a Friday or Saturday night, but they love anything that can help lure in customers any other night of the week!!!

According to RuPaul herself, the new season is gonna be BIG. She told Entertainment Weekly: “Our producers have come up with twisted, outrageous challenges that raise the bar for all competition of reality,” RuPaul adds. “Our celebrity guest judges are truly legendary. And this cast of queens is, dare I say, the most talented we’ve ever had. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a fresh crop of queens arrives and blows our minds all over again.”

Here’s the list!

Aiden Zhane29Acworth, Georgia
Brita34New York City, New York
Crystal Methyd28Springfield, Missouri
Dahlia Sin28Los Angeles, California
Gigi Goode21Los Angeles, California
Heidi N. Closet24Ramseur, North Carolina
Jackie Cox34New York City, New York
Jaida Essence Hall32Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Jan26New York City, New York
Nicky Doll28New York City, New York
Rock M. Sakura28San Francisco, California
Sherry Pie27New York City, New York
Widow Von’Du30Kansas City, Missouri

AND, we’ve already got word that Seattle will get a chance to see 7 of the 13 contestants very early on…QUEER BAR just announced TWO big events that will feature 7 of the new stars performing at the club on Capitol Hill. The first party happens Saturday, February 29th with Jan Sport, Nicky Doll, Jaida Essence Hall & Dahlia Sin all jetting in to perform. Then, the following Saturday, March 7th (it’s March DRAGNESS!!!)
