#11 – Katya Zamolodchikova
This multi-lingual American drag artist has taken her drag persona to another level by studying Russian to perfect her performance. It took her four tries before her acceptance into Season 7 of Drag Race and fans were not happy when she was eliminated, taking fifth place. She was welcomed back on the spinoff All Stars, and placed runner-up.
Her fan base launched her to stardom and her friendship with Trixie Mattel gave her ample opportunities for collaboration. They co-host the web series UNHhhh and a podcast, The Bald and the Beautiful. They also wrote a New York Times self-help bestseller called “Trixie and Katya’s Guide to Modern Womanhood”. Her solo comedic stand-up show is called Help Me, I’m Dying.
