S2. Ep. 21 “Við elskum þig, Raja!” ft. Raja

Við elskum þig, Raja! It means ‘We Love You, Raja!’ in Icelandic and we really do love her. She’s the winner of Season 3 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and the very first Asian American to win a Drag Race franchise title in 2011. We discuss Asian representation on Drag Race and the big changes that television brought to her career. Raja is kind of a big deal and has even guest starred as herself on The Simpsons. Because she is so iconic, we had to ask her about her influences including her time working as a fashion forward makeup artist for industry giants such as Iman, Twiggy, Adam Lambert, Tyra Banks, and more! These days she’s got her very own podcast with Delta Work in which they discuss beauty, culture, and the most unforgettable moments from their club days. Don’t miss this episode of Drag Time with Heklina!
