With the reveal of the Season 18 cast of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race, we\u2019ve compiled a list of queens with cosplay\/nerdy\/geeky inspired drag that we\u2019d like to see on future seasons!<\/p>\n

Drag is an integral part of the LGBTQ+ community and has evolved so much across several decades, especially with the mainstream success of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race and its regional spin-offs over the last 17 years. We have seen many different forms of drag on the show including pageant, club kid, campy, gothic, faux, androgyny, and more recently, nerdy and geeky cosplay-inspired looks.<\/p>\n

Here at Gayming Magazine, we want to see MORE nerdy and geeky inspired drag on the show, so check out our list of queens we\u2019d love to see cast in the future!<\/p>\n

Drag comes in all forms and we love all queens, kings and things that make it such a rich and diverse artform, but for the purposes of this list, we\u2019re working within the casting expectations of Drag Race which holds us to drag queens. We\u2019ll do a separate list of nerdy kings and things very soon, so make sure you shout out your favorites in the comments. <\/p>\n

Suddenly Audrey<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need to fear, Suddenly Audrey is here! Based out of New York City, you can find her all across the boroughs saving the day, but especially at any of her self-produced shows called The Aud Ball. <\/p>\n

She blends her electric energy with comedic affect on stage, and does it all with a smile. She has so many amazing looks that it\u2019s hard to keep up with, and her numbers they\u2019re paired with are nothing short of mesmerizing. If you get the chance to go to The Aud Ball, you\u2019ll find yourself entertained by a fusion of comics, anime, and gaming through drag.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s not Unown, she\u2019s a peachy princess, she\u2019s The Angel! Based out of Los Angeles, you can catch this angelic gamer queen on Twitch playing all of your favorites in her PNG form! She\u2019s a huge fan of Nintendo games, a true lover of Pok\u00e9mon games, and has recently been doing a play through of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.<\/p>\n

Her personality on stream is unmatched, bringing competitive energy to games like Mario Kart, an entertaining and comedic approach to play throughs, and always interacts with her chat. She recently completed The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on stream, one of my favorite Zelda games, and gave out a Nintendo Switch 2 a few weeks ago too. I\u2019m personally looking forward to seeing her play the upcoming Pok\u00e9mon Legends: ZA DLC that comes out soon!<\/p>\n

Away from her PNG-tuber form, she has so many amazing looks that it\u2019s hard to keep up, so check out her social media and get World of Wonder on the phone!<\/p>\n
