Wilson shared the bill with several other drag performers, including Sequoia, Vera!, Nini Coco, Skirt Cocaine, Noxxia Datura, and Trudy Tective. Several high-profile drag artists commented on Wilson’s performance, including Drag Race season 6 contestant Courtney Act, who said, “How epic! Congrats, Diva” and current All Stars 10 contestant Cynthia Lee Fontaine, who said, “Congrats amor.”
Last month, Wilson stole the show at a Drag Race All Stars premiere party after footage of her walking and twirling on the dance floor as queens cheered her on went viral.
Earlier this month, Wilson spoke with Our Flag Means Death actor Vico Ortiz, who performs as a drag king under the name Vico Suave, about her drag aspirations.
“The thing that drew me to drag was the freedom of expression within it all, because I found drag when I was questioning my own gender identity [around age 14],” she said in a conversation hosted by Them. “Lip-syncing is something I’ve always really enjoyed. I love the gender expressionism of it all — being able to break and bend and reforge those rules however you desire.”
