Dragnificent: “the mother of all transformation shows”

 

After a successful pilot show last year, TLC are launching a whole new series of Dragnificent!   It’s kind of like Queer Eye but far more outrageous and colorful as the stars are all drag queens in what is being hailed as the “mother of all transformation shows”

A quartet of drag queens will travel the country to use their fabulous skills to help someone reimagine their appearance for a special day and reveal themselves as they have only dreamed while taking viewers on a touching journey of their life and struggles to this point.

ALEXIS MICHELLE was one of the top five contestants from Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race and specializes in makeup and hair ; BEBE ZAHARA BENET  is like Drag Queen Royalty as she was the original winner of Drag Race and is an  experienced event planner who can transform any room into a fantasy space; JUJUBEE is the stage name of Airline Inthyrath who appeared on Drag Race Season 2, know for being totally stunning, she is the resident fashion expert; THORGY THOR is a NYC-based drag performance artist, event host and professional musician, and will be responsible for getting the party started.

The queens talk about how the show really means beyond giving someone a good look. They say that there is plenty of entertainment and levity, but that the viewers will be surprised to see a deep side of the queens as they navigate these emotional transformations.

For example in one episode where they meet Amy who recently lost 130 pounds and was preparing for a wedding. When they met her, she was riddled with depression and anxiety, they wanted her to make her feel special in her own skin beyond her wedding day.

The quartet are a tight team and all hilarious funny and extremely quick witted too , and it doesn’t hurt that they look fabulous in every single episode.

 This show will premiere in April on TLC : watch this space for updates.
