![]() ![]() The drag house introduced RuPaul’s Drag Race fans to some of the biggest names in New York’s drag scene: Aja, Dahlia Sin, and Kandy Muse. And the Haus of Aja has the most public falling out among its members. Not everything in drag is as colorful as Crystal Methyd’s and Daya Betty’s runway looks. House of HallĪ post shared by Dahlia Sin with any family, chosen or not, there is drama. They inherited Alyssa’s ability to dance and her love for pageantry. And representing the Haus of Edwards in RuPaul’s Drag Race is dancing queen Alyssa Edwards, whose drag daughters include Gia Gunn, Shangela, Laganja Estranja, Vivienne Pinay, Cheryl Hole, and Plastique Tiara. Winners Monét and Bob the Drag Queen are also part of Kelexis’ dragline. Kennedy Davenport, Manila Luzon, Jiggly Caliente, Honey Davenport, Raja O’Hara, Miz Cracker, and the late Sahara Davenport come from the House of Davenport. Though not part of the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise, the legacy of these drag queens carried on gracefully in the show. ![]() Similarly, several members of the Haus of Edwards established successful careers as RuGirls.īut what many people don’t know is that the two drag houses are sister houses as their drag mothers, Kelexis Davenport and Laken Edwards, are drag daughters of the late Coco. It’s why makeovers highlighting ‘drag family resemblance’ is a staple challenge on the show! House of Davenport x Haus of EdwardsĪ post shared by Alyssa Edwards Davenports have shantayed and sashayed in RuPaul’s Drag Race, and a few even took home the crown. Drag queens have their own identity and style, but the influence their drag house has on them is recognizable. Some are considered to be legends in the community, while others are still up-and-coming names in the drag scene. RuPaul’s Drag Race has introduced us to many drag houses. “From the House of Hall!” and Other Drag Houses in RuPaul’s Drag Race A house usually has a mother and/or a father who takes in members as their children. The house consisted of their chosen family, who gives them the acceptance, support, and love that they don’t necessarily receive from their biological families and society. These houses-called drag houses by drag kings and queens-were formed out of necessity for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This evolved into what is known as ballroom culture, and people joined in “walking” competitions as featured on Pose and Paris Is Burning.Īnd in the grand tradition of ballroom, competitors walked for houses they belonged to. Unlike the more mainstream drag pageants, they also aimed to include transgender drag queens and queer people from minority races. In the 80s, Black and Latino members of the LGBTQ+ community formed an underground pageant scene for drag queens. Drag Houses Originated in Ballroom Culture It’s not necessary to use the same last name as your drag house-like RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 4 winner Monét X Change from the House of Davenport-but the tradition hails from ballroom culture. That’s why we’ve seen a few drag queens with similar last names, like Season 15 winner Sasha Colby who is a drag mother to Season 14’s Kerri Colby. ![]() Many of the drag queens represent a drag house (sometimes spelled as ‘haus) or a drag family. Every RuPaul’s Drag Race queen who enters the Werk Room is judged by three things: their look, their entrance line, and their last name. ![]()
