OLIVIA LUX
Jersey City, New Jersey

insta: theolivialux

Coming in straight from sequester for a VH1 television project that we won’t mention right now… er, I mean from New Jersey is our next queen, Olivia. This season’s theatrical dame, Olivia’s background is in musical theatre, dance and design. Although she is based in the Garden State, she often performs across the tri-state area, including in New York City. In fact, she was recently interviewed as part of a Buzzfeed video about drag alongside fellow New York theatre queen Jan Sport, as linked here.

In other interviews, Olivia has spoken candidly about how her upbringing as an overweight queer Black person in rural South Jersey has inspired the social justice and commentary elements of her drag (so relax, she’s not all jazz hands and step touches); she recently represented New Jersey in Untitled (America), the same digital drag show that Neon performed in. Ever the outgoing and motivational queen, her motto in life and in drag is to "Liv it Up", and to reflect the positivity she aims to carry with her in the world she named her drag persona after the Latin word for light. Well, the Latin word for light and Olivia Pope, Kerry Washington’s character from Scandal. At least the Latin part’s highbrow.
