There are three āRuPaulās Drag Raceā season 15 queens from ConnecticutĀ
This is the first time a Connecticut queen competed on the series ā and there were three Connecticut-based performers to boot. Thatās West Hartfordās Amethyst, Hartfordās Robin Fierce and Ansoniaās Loosey LaDuca ā all of whom represented the state among the 16 contestants on season 15.Ā
After their entrances, it was clear these queens already knew each other. After the first episode, Amethyst shared videos on her Instagram story of her hometown bar celebrating.Ā
In the past, seasons have been dominated by specific cities and states. For season 9, that was New York City, with Aja, Alexis Michelle, Sasha, and Peppermint calling the Big Apple home.Ā
Connecticutās Amethyst reacts to her āRuPaulās Drag Raceā season 15 eliminationĀ
As with most RuPaulās Drag Race seasons, some contestants have already sashayed away. That includes Amethyst, who even caught the attention of her doppelganger ā Bleachersā frontman Jack Antonoff.Ā
āI feel like Iām finally at a good place where Iām able to watch it and get through it,ā Amethyst said after her elimination (via Entertainment Weekly). āItās not so bad, because my drag has grown so quickly, and, looking back, no matter where I wouldāve been today with my drag, it wouldāve been embarrassing and cringe-y no matter what.ā
Another Connecticut queen scored high in the design challenge. However, Robin Fierce was recently eliminated from season 15 following the āGirl Groupā episode.Ā
āI feel like I wouldāve done a great job if I was able to move forward,ā Robin Fierce said via Entertainment Weekly. āI can take critique if itās a helpful critique. My elimination episode is the first time that I really got critiques from the judges, and I was very ready to apply those and try not to play it safe and go out of what I thought my comfort zone was.
Loosey LaDuca remains on RuPaulās Drag Race season 15. New episodes of the reality competition series debut on MTV.Ā
