Which 'Drag Race' icon is the drag mother of 'King of Drag' star Henlo Bullfrog?
While the new reality show King of Drag shares some DNA with RuPaul's Drag Race, there is also a familial connection tying the two drag competition shows together.The fierce competition on King of Drag may be heating up, but just like Drag Race, the kings may be competing for fame and a title, but its really all about family.Drag families are an integral part of drag culture, and while you might be most familiar with the concept from watching Drag Race and seeing drag mothers and daughters compete, drag kings have them too. Mirroring the kind of found families queer people build, drag houses are a way for drag artists to support one another, nurture younger performers, and sometimes even share a performance and makeup style, or a last name. Just like Kennedy Davenport and Sahara Davenport are drag sisters, and Chad Michaels is the drag mother of Morgan McMichaels on Drag Race, King of Drags Henlo Bullfrog also has a famous connection to a Ru Girl.See on InstagramHenlo is the drag son of Drag Race royalty Sapphira Cristl, the runner-up on season 16 of the iconic show. Not only are these two related but as a professional makeup artist, Henlo has been on the creative team for many other drag performers, including his famous drag mother. (@) Henlo even did the airbrushing for a sexy Garden of Eden photoshoot Sapphira did last year.But Henlo isnt the only one on King of Drag who has a drag family. Competitors King Perka $exxx and Pressure K are also drag brothers through their drag father, nonbinary drag king VERA!, from the House of Pack in the Bay Area.
