Finally (insert a gif of Nina voguing here), it's time to meet our final queen, and oddly enough I think I know who it is...
Yvie Oddly
from Denver, Colorado
Yvie Oddly (boy name Jovan Bridges) says her first taste of drag was dressing up as a dead hooker in high school, with her mom as her pimp, which may explain why she defines her drag aesthetic as being built on shock value rather than conventional glamour. Having previously dabbled with drag, her decision to commit to her art was made when she first saw Sharon Needles on Drag Race. Ever the resourceful queen, she enjoys working with unconventional materials, and has made outfits out of trash bags, zip ties and already-chewed chewing gum. Her first taste of success came when she won the 2015 Ultimate Queen Competition in Denver, and has since gone on to stake a claim in the shifting drag scene there: she hosts her weekly show The Oddly Hour at a bar where she also bartends during the day, and often incorporates topics of politics (telling stories, for example, about the Dakota Access Pipeline), religion, race and even leg-shaving into her performances.
