A new book about RuPaul’s Drag Race has dropped some major tea regarding Valentina’s unforgettable season nine appearance. Since its debut in 2009, Drag Race has ruled the pop culture sphere with an iron fist.
Over the course of 13 years, the franchise has released 15 mainstay seasons, numerous spinoffs – including All Stars and Celebrity Drag Race – and various international iterations.
Drag Race has also introduced fans to an array of diverse and talented drag queens, some of whom have made herstory due to their wild shenanigans.
One queen that made significant waves in the franchise is season nine Miss Congeniality winner Valentina. After just a few episodes, the California-based talented garnered one of the most loyal and dedicated fanbases of any queen from the Emmy Award-winning series – thanks to her polished, high-fashion runways, quirky sense of humour and unique perspective on drag.
