Drag Race winner Nymphia Wind leaves fans speechless with Olympics performance

Nymphia Wind brought her charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent to the Paris Olympics, and fans are gagged.

Since taking home the crown, Nymphia’s star has…

Drag Race: Sapphira Cristál addresses season 16 loss

Although the Slue Foot: Embracing All of Me author delivered a fierce lip-sync, she was upstaged…
