Let's start with a bang...
Amanda Bang
from San Francisco, California
Not to be confused with the British queen of the same name, San Fran native
Amanda Bang is described as the “gorgeous ghoul” of drag, and judging by her dark, horror-influenced style, she’s presumably one of those queens who wishes it could be Halloween all year round. Then again, her Instagram bio quotes a Jessie J song, so god knows where her inspiration really lies. Ever the creative queen, Amanda is no stranger to face paint, and can usually be seen in a pink or purple wig and distinctive black lip (she’s still in her goth phase, let her be). Bay Area queens like Amanda, Peaches Christ and Heklina are known for their dark humour and often less-refined drag style, which is perhaps why the only San Francisco queen to have appeared on Drag Race until now is Honey Mahogany (she tried, bless her). Can Amanda reverse the curse and put her city on the map?
