These Latina Queens Are Competing in First-Ever ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars’
World of Wonder
RuPaul’s Drag Race will truly be the Olympics of drag this August. Today (July 15), the cast was revealed for the first ever Global All Stars spin-off, including fan-favorites from Drag Race México and Drag Race Brasil.
For the first time in Drag Race Herstory, RuPaul is bringing together 12 drag queens from different franchises around the world for Global All Stars. The winning queen will be crowned “Queen of the Mothertucking World” and receive a cash prize of $200,000. The champion’s photo will also be placed in the international pavilion in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
“The world is not ready for RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars,” RuPaul shared in a statement. “Twelve queens representing their home countries raises the stakes to a whole new level. Plus, the international mix of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent will, pardon my French, blow your f***ing minds.”
Two Latina queens will compete on RuPaul’s Drag Global All Stars.
Gala Varo from Morelia, Michoacán will represent Drag Race México. Last year, she competed in the first season and finished as one of the runners-up. During her run on the show, she won one Maxi Challenge. Gala Varo’s drag daughter Horacio Potasio is currently competing on season two.
