In the words of Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, get dese cookies...

Cookie Kunty
from Paris, France



In a season of firsts, Cookie Kunty (boy name Romain Eck) is the first ever French queen on Drag Race, unless you count Thorgy for not shaving her legs. Well, technically, Cookie isn’t French; she was born in Canada, and grew up in various different parts of the world with her nomadic parents (as a result, she speaks French, English and Spanish fluently). Having gained an interest in drag from drawing other queens, she moved to Paris to further her arts education, and subsequently made her name as a hostess on the drag scene there. She cites Japanese culture and the club kid scene as some of her biggest inspirations, as well as her sister, a transgender woman who used to be a drag queen. The pressure of representing an entire country doesn’t seem to be fazing this Cookie, who says that she uses champagne to clean her brushes, but will she crumble under the pressure of RuPaul’s Drag Race? She’ll have to risk it for the biscuit, that’s for sure.

Here's an article (in French, so you may want to have Google Translate handy) on Cookie, although her surname breaks the swear filter so you'll have to type that in manually
