Featured Queen: Lenox
Evan is a fifteen year-old queen from Flagstaff, Arizona, who started doing drag under the name Lenox in June of 2015, after a long time of playing around with makeup, wigs and feminine clothing.
"My name, Lenox, comes from Lenox Tillman from America's Next Top Model cycle 21. She was who I envisioned myself looking like in drag , and she has a bad ass name."
"My entire life I've always wanted to do feminine things such as wearing heels, wigs etc., but still be a boy. Once I found [RuPaul's] Drag Race, I had found how to do that-drag! Drag and makeup became my full on passion! I absolutely love painting a face. So I would say [RuPaul's Drag Race] was like the tipping point in me starting drag."
"Drag makes me feel lik"e a badass. I just love looking like a woman with awesome makeup. I can go from extreme Barbie femininity, to gothic chic, to a green dead ghost girl! i love that I get to be someone else who's prettier and more confident."
"I take a lot of inspiration from various people for my drag. Hedin Slime, Naomi Smalls, and Grant Karpin are probably my biggest inspirations. Grant has that creative look where she can go from a rainbow face, to a Geisha, to a living painting. I love watching her super unique looks. Naomi and Hedin are what i inspire to look like. I absolutely love the way they dress/look in drag. I really go for that same fishy/high fashion mug that they have."
"My three all time favorite queens from drag race are Pearl ( I used to have a fanpage for her
oops ), Max, and Raja. My three favorite non rpdr queens are Hedin Slime, Kim Chi (Even though she's clearly on [season ] 8 ), and Naomi Smalls. And lastly, my three favorite teen queens are Mar, Tease, and Comet."
"...My usual look is very fishy/cunt looking. But I also do a very different makeup look from time to time where I look totally different. As far as outfits go, I love wearing white and black mostly. I like lingerie and grungy outfits a lot. Very much like what Pearl wears. My entire look from head to toe is very much based off of Ariana Grande. I just love her style and bitch attitude.
My ultimate ambition I want to achieve through drag is obviously [RuPaul's] Drag Race, but realistically that won't happen. So I really want to get a fan base, and travel the world performing. I also would love to be in a big fashion show in drag.
I do not yet perform in drag because I am underage. However, I am hopefully going to perform at LGBT youth talent shows soon. I know that I will be doing a lot of Ariana Grande when I start. She is who I aspire to be-a rich, bitchy, pretty, superstar.
[If I could only use three makeup products to complete my drag look] I would choose any multi colored eyeshadow palette, black eyeliner, and a contour palette.
So far I have very little drag clothing, but I would say my [favourite outfit is my] blue lace two piece from dollskill. I absolutely love it.
In 5 years time , I see myself performing for sure. I will definitely be auditioning for drag race (if it's true that they lowered the age requirement to 18), and I would love to be working at Sephora or Mac as well to get more coin.
(In response to a question about the recent popularity of drag) "I absolutely love it! I love the fact that drag is becoming mainstream now. Before [RuPaul's Drag Race], drag would gross out or even scare some people. Cross dressers freaked me out when I was little. But now because of the show, people are becoming more loving and encouraging of drag queens. I think it's great!
I am currently in the top 8 of the supreme drag race on Instagram! (@thesupremedragrace) I'm competing with Comet, Renne Etranger, Mar, Siren Lacost, Bettie Duchess, Annie Sokae, and Matte L. so go check it out!
