About this episode
Yvie Oddly took the world by storm when she strutted her way to victory in the eleventh season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Her unique style and boundary-pushing performances earned her a spot as one of the most influential drag queens, as recognized by New York Magazine in June 2019.In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the wonderfully weird world of Yvie Oddly, whose unconventional drag persona has been described as “the oddest drag queen in history.” Her drag persona, far from being a beacon of femininity, celebrates the strange and the extraordinary, inspiring a generation to embrace their quirks, stand tall in their uniqueness, and dare to be different.
And for all you Yvie Oddly fans out there, get ready to add a new title to your reading list. Her memoir, All About Yvie, Into the Oddity, is out now.
