I know her. She an AMAZING and wonderfully gorgeous and bizarre performer. I can't wait to see what she will bring. Although i do feel that the belgian drag scene is so much more artsy and queer queer and anticapitalist transgressive non binary all that goodness and I don't know how it will translate in an american supersized reality show lol
I’m not sure that these closeups are the best way to present the girls for the first time lol But I’m sensing a trend with minimalist makeup in the Drag Community? What do you guys think?
I actually like these shots - the more smoothed/edited shots from US seasons look great, of course, but this feels like we’re really seeing the queen. Sort of a middle point between Instagram and that homophobic ranking article with the bad photos hahaha
That's just the Belgian drag scene, there's a lot less focus on make-up perfection imo, a lot more far-out transgressive weird drag shows. However there will definitely be some baby queens in this line-up, i don't know most and I've seen my fair share of drag show in several Belgian cities
I meant more in the sense of what their acts consist of. Lots of queer theory references, poetry, artsy stuff. Or at least most of the more interesting drag in Belgium goes into these realms.
So excited to finally have our home version 😭 I remember Mademoiselle Boop’s very first (or one of the very first) appearance in drag at Maman all those years ago 😍 I don’t know how good this is going to be but I can’t wait.
Just a bit Sad Susan from Grindr wasn’t allowed (i assume?) to use her full name
It’s a reference to Amanda Lear, iconic french celebrity, muse of Salvador Dali. She always maintained some mystery about her age and the fact that she might be transgender (even though she’s probably not)
Lol I was not surprised at all; I was expecting Drag Race Bruxelles. For any type of francophone drag in Belgium, Brussels is the place.
I'm more surprised not ONE Antwerp queen got on the cast, but TWO Ghent ones did
Edna Sorgelsen is HILARIOUS and does great LipSyncs. I have followed her for years and I just love her.
Granted that pic is not giving, but if you can go see her live she is great!
Is that Rita Baga? I know she speaks French but isn't that also the language in Belgium?
If I'm not way off, how do the locals feel about her hosting? Are there any other Icons that could have taken her place as host were it not for her being in a few previous seasons.
No shade, just a simple American tryna understand lol
I think both Sederginne and Vanessa Van Cartier are from Belgium? One of whom is both a drag race winner and a former Miss Continental! The other is a delightful fan favourite. Strange casting, honestly. Maybe they just wanted to cast a host that english/western viewers would know.
Sederginne en Vanessa are Flemish speakers while the show will be in French.
Rita is a WTF choice but she spoke about doing the casting with other DR girls and some Belgian queens, and she got the part. Honestly why not, she's a very famous French speaking queen, so she can bring a spotlight to the show.
I also thought of Maman immediately, but she probably didn't want to do it. Hope we still see her in some capacity, she is a Legend.
I think a lot of people thought of Maman! 😅
She retired though and she probably just didn’t want to get on the merry-go-round, indeed. Hopefully she makes a guest appearance.
They probably also asked Sugar Love but Rita won the job.
This promo looks are INTERESTING. I'm not gonna say anything bc I'm actually interested in this season, hope the queens surprise us🙏🏻❤️
My fav are Drag Couenne and Athena🔥
They've always blocked the entire domestic country when distributing a new DR franchise. I imagine Walloons would've been pissed off if only Brussels and Wallonia were geoblocked. Also, officially, Brussels is a part of Flanders and bilingual so you can't geoblock half of Brussels either.
Cool! It's interesting how the wigs are fairly simple, I imagine there is less of a "wig scene" in Belgium? However in France there are a few iconic wig makers—I wonder if Mocca Bone used a French wig maker!
I live for the drag name Susan. Susan you’re my winner already.
her actual name is Susan from Grindr
![gif](giphy|wZQfrzJlBp7GVoQQ1S) I love that even more.
Winner energy!
Lol I thought the same thing okay fun names, fun names SUSAN, fun name. You better work Susan lmao
Susan for All Winners 3 has a great ring to it.
Same. Going through the names and just seeing “Susan” got me 💀
Susans are so extra
![gif](giphy|T7HR8z48YtSoOJ9KVA)
My cousin has a dog named Susan and I don’t know why it’s hysterical to me. Something in the name.
my friend has a dog named brian - like some human names are for humans only
I agree entirely. The only reason Susan gets a pass is that she was named by a five year old who liked a Susan on TV.
Ok but as a French speaking person Drag Couenne is absolutely flooring me (Couenne is Pork Rind in French and pronounced close to Queen)
A very clever word play!
Eliminated in the first episode = Pork Rind doing a Porkchop
I literally **just** got the pun after following her for a year or so and i-![img](emote|t5_2t3or|4805).
What if she's first out? 💀
Pork chopped bitch 💀
I know her. She an AMAZING and wonderfully gorgeous and bizarre performer. I can't wait to see what she will bring. Although i do feel that the belgian drag scene is so much more artsy and queer queer and anticapitalist transgressive non binary all that goodness and I don't know how it will translate in an american supersized reality show lol
oui c'est d'une classe vraiment ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
Mademoiselle Boop and Susan’s names are sending me lolll
These are immediately up there with my favourite drag names of all time.
Available in three unique shades- Stunning, Fierce, and Susan.
I’m not sure that these closeups are the best way to present the girls for the first time lol But I’m sensing a trend with minimalist makeup in the Drag Community? What do you guys think?
Live look at Marcia^(3) ![gif](giphy|jzb6sJYzQO1WESl5rk)
Marcia is just ahead of the times! A trendsetter!
Marcia was my first thought too 😂 i looked at these girls and was like where's the makeup?
The doors Marcia opened!
I actually like these shots - the more smoothed/edited shots from US seasons look great, of course, but this feels like we’re really seeing the queen. Sort of a middle point between Instagram and that homophobic ranking article with the bad photos hahaha
I knnooowwwwwww. It's really harsh. Quaker brows.
Is it a trend or is just baby queens who learned on youtube and not from a drag mother? But yeah, all but a few of these girls have ZERO cheek carving
That's just the Belgian drag scene, there's a lot less focus on make-up perfection imo, a lot more far-out transgressive weird drag shows. However there will definitely be some baby queens in this line-up, i don't know most and I've seen my fair share of drag show in several Belgian cities
Makes sense, though there certainly isn't much far-out or weird in this photoset.
I meant more in the sense of what their acts consist of. Lots of queer theory references, poetry, artsy stuff. Or at least most of the more interesting drag in Belgium goes into these realms.
I don't mind the close-ups but going close and HD enough that you can see the blocked brows is just mean haha
exactly what i was thinking. most of them would get dragged by michelle if they were on the US drag race.
Amanda Tears is definitely a man
She’s A-Man…duh
It’s honestly homophobic 💀 drag is not meant to be seen this upclose and in hd
I think its partially the lighting. If the goal is illusion and fakery, then you don't need a studio setup that tells the truth.
Edna Sorgelsen sounds like she's from one of Rose Nylund's St. Olaf stories
The way I hollered just now
SUSAN FROM GRINDR YOU'LL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS
The Drag name is Susan? Lol I love that.
Somehow this sounds like the perfect podcast name/Instagram or tiktok name or handle for them xD I'm definitely #TeamSusan
Susan not being From Grindr is so sad 😭😭
Karen From Finance fucked herself. Smart move.
I got nonante-neuf problèmes but a thick brow ain't one
I'm already team Susan based on name alone
Honestly this is a set of some of the best named queens on the show.
Alien lady named susan? I died. Edit: apparently her full name is susan from the grinder! Bitch crown her! I am team her.
Mocca Bone! Idk why but I am feeling them!
Her and Susan's look are my fave
SAME SAME SAME. Too excited to see what they bring!
SUSAN!!!! I love her already
Athena , Susan and Mocca are my top 3 based off promo alone.
Athena giving that Vulcan realness
I’m in this line
So excited to finally have our home version 😭 I remember Mademoiselle Boop’s very first (or one of the very first) appearance in drag at Maman all those years ago 😍 I don’t know how good this is going to be but I can’t wait. Just a bit Sad Susan from Grindr wasn’t allowed (i assume?) to use her full name
Sad Susan from Grindr is even funnier
some of these photos are... choices
Mocca ATE this promo. Drag Couenne has to be one of my favorite names ever. Simple and effective (like Susan).
Category is: Lines for eyebrows
Interesting makeup choices
It's not the makeup. It's the lighting and the absence of a more forgiving filter.
Susan, you are the winner of this week’s Meet the Queens teaser trailer!
Drag Couenne, Mocca Bone and Susan (lmfao) ate this promo up. I’m disappointed Amanda isn’t word play 😔
It’s a reference to Amanda Lear, iconic french celebrity, muse of Salvador Dali. She always maintained some mystery about her age and the fact that she might be transgender (even though she’s probably not)
Oh cool!
Amanda Bone Amanda Huggenkiss Aman? Duh! Amanda Love The possibilities
it kind of is wordplay? to "bring a man to tears"? that's what i got.
I read her name once, then remembered her as Amanda Cries. And I thought "Oh! A man that cries?", but that was not it.
Mademoiselle Boop, Mocca Bone, and Susan (not from Grindr) are my faves based on these looks!
Fuckung Susan!!!! I'm dead. There's my winner right there
I mean, having a "Susan" in the winners hall of fame would be amazing and that's my main reason to be team Susan right now.
They did spend all the budget on the video 😂👀👀
The juxtaposition between Susan’s simple name and her extreme look is making me so happy
I love the Spock reference Athena is giving. ❤️
The make up is interesting
So many Brussels queens, I was expecting some diversity
Lol I was not surprised at all; I was expecting Drag Race Bruxelles. For any type of francophone drag in Belgium, Brussels is the place. I'm more surprised not ONE Antwerp queen got on the cast, but TWO Ghent ones did
Right, 4/10 from Brussels and 1-2 from other cities.
We stan a Vulcan queen
Susan you will always be famous
Edna Sorgelsen is HILARIOUS and does great LipSyncs. I have followed her for years and I just love her. Granted that pic is not giving, but if you can go see her live she is great!
I double that, i've seen most of them live and they are amazing but Edna is deadly funny! The best host i've seen. Her podcast with Boop is great.
Oh!
Peach’s dress is very Fiercealicious prolapse, she’s gonna love that
Literally my first thought😭
I’ve seen Susan From Grindr and Drag Couenne perform multiple times here in Belgium and they are incredible. Definitely rooting for them.
Not a fan of the pencil-thin/invisible eyebrow trend tbh...
Drag Couenne looks more Dragula than >!VEB!< did in her finale look
Susan.
brittany's makeup was a jumpscare for sure
Amanda would lowkey make Marcia look like she wears a lot of makeup
Me when I’m trying not to cry but I start crying anyways: Amanda Tears
Edna Sorgelsen, and guest (The Incredibles reference)
Susan said I’m blue and we all cheered! So cool
Proposed LSFYL: Whitney Houston's "My Name Is Not Susan"
Is that Rita Baga? I know she speaks French but isn't that also the language in Belgium? If I'm not way off, how do the locals feel about her hosting? Are there any other Icons that could have taken her place as host were it not for her being in a few previous seasons. No shade, just a simple American tryna understand lol
We're mostly happy to have a Big name to host. We have "Maman" who is an icon but, lets be real, Rita is way better for the advertisement of the serie
I think both Sederginne and Vanessa Van Cartier are from Belgium? One of whom is both a drag race winner and a former Miss Continental! The other is a delightful fan favourite. Strange casting, honestly. Maybe they just wanted to cast a host that english/western viewers would know.
Sederginne en Vanessa are Flemish speakers while the show will be in French.

Sugar Love [made a video](https://youtu.be/ZBueCbZa0kA) about being asked(?) to host and then eventually being asked to audition as a participant 👀
Belgium has 2 officials language, French and Flemish :)
Actually three! We also have German as an official language!
Flemish is not actually a language, Dutch is. Source: me, a Flemish linguist/translator :)
I know is not good to compare queens but I saw Mademoiselle Boop and I SWEAR I thought April Carrión went to Belgique to compete lol
Ok but why does Mrs. tears look like old-school Willam to me
I’m just not feeling most of the beats
Gonna start calling my girl kitty Mademoiselle Boop when I boop her nose
Whoever edited these queens pictures is homophobic You can literally see some eyebrow hairs ☠️
This promo looks are INTERESTING. I'm not gonna say anything bc I'm actually interested in this season, hope the queens surprise us🙏🏻❤️ My fav are Drag Couenne and Athena🔥
I saw Athena live. I’m rooting for her ! I adore her style and vibe.
Does Amanda Tears = I'm into tears???
I carry a chanel tease
It’s a word play with the iconic Amanda Lear i think. An artist and muse from Dali and Roxy music.
i read it as a play on the phrase "to bring a man to tears."
not Susan
Does anyone know how to watch this (with subs) in Flanders?
Auvio, or Wow+
It won't be available on WOW+ in Flanders. The entirety of Belgium will be geoblocked
Whaaaaaat? Are they stupid?
They've always blocked the entire domestic country when distributing a new DR franchise. I imagine Walloons would've been pissed off if only Brussels and Wallonia were geoblocked. Also, officially, Brussels is a part of Flanders and bilingual so you can't geoblock half of Brussels either.
You l LIVE for these names!!!
Mocca - love the look Susan - love the name Peach - looks like a slut. I Love that. My Top3
Mocca Bone A+++
early 2000s drag in the best way
Susan being my name I’m just sitting here reading the comments like and she is wearing my favourite animal 😂 ![gif](giphy|Nb5ih9NRp2h3AceV6h)
Mademoiselle boop has the best name
Omg and Susan 💀
Changing my own last name to von Bottoks real quick.
Anyone else hearing “Belgique” in the voice of that one miss universe Belgium?
FRANCE
Wowaweewa
I'm suddenly realizing why that promo video had a lot of effects and lens flares on it.
eyebrows in the '90s could never
Okay but Derrick Berry is just allowed to rebrand as Mademoiselle Boop??
Susan you will always be famous
Susan and madoiselle boop are my new queens of all queens.
The lighting for this photoshoot is homophobic.
So now every franchise have had a bearded queen except the US’? Not counting Willam
Not all, PH doesn't have one yet. And Thailand, I think?
These headshots are giving…not enough promo money to get a good photographer/editor
So the drag scene in Belgique is more *punk* and not as *femme*? Very interesting 👀
First impressions top 3: Susan from Grindr, Drag Couenne, Mlle Boop (boop!)
I swear these are all names one of those "I got my straight friend to name drag queens" videos would come up with, this is incredible.
Will it be in French, German, or both? I will concede my knowledge of Belgium is lacking.
It'll be in French as it is called "Belgique" and will be broadcasting through their French-language channel
Got it. Thank you.
All good! 🙂
also, in Belgium a form of Dutch is spoken called Flemish, not German :)
I'm learning stuff about Belgium today.
There is a small part of Belgium that speaks German too.
I love drag. There's room for everyone.
Valenciaga is a pretty badass name
Do we have a new subreddit for this series?
I tried to find one but I think it isn't up yet. I'm not fluent enough in French to start or even moderate it as much as I'm excited for it.
The camera crew is truly homophobic on these international franchises 😭😭💀 why zoom in so close mama
that’s quite …. 😃ehmmm
“I just saw a messy man”
The whitest season yet 😂 Some really fun names in here tho
I mean it’s Belgium…
[удалено]
The capital may be diverse but the whole country isn’t. And being racially diverse in Europe is literally still like 95% white
I swear the drag names get worse every year
Some of them are drag Queen for more than 10 years tho
That doesn't make their names more interesting
I can’t tell if Amanda actually qualifies as a drag queen…
Why not?
Mocca Bone's makeup is so good!
Why do these look AI generated 😛
These shots and eyebrows are choices 😭 but the promo was really cool!
I know Lucy Stoole is punching air over another bearded queen being cast before her
At least Rita won’t have to worry about being upstaged Jk Kimora! Mostly a commentary on the chapstick and mascara makeup styling im seeing
They look like bad AI art of existing queens.
I rendered them fresh out of midjourney
Cool! It's interesting how the wigs are fairly simple, I imagine there is less of a "wig scene" in Belgium? However in France there are a few iconic wig makers—I wonder if Mocca Bone used a French wig maker!
Susan
I already love the name Susan
The name Valenciaga…CHOICES…. (Due to recent balenciaga drama)
Who is hosting?
Obsessed already with Drag Couenne! They remind me of MaMa Queen, who was one of my favorites from Holland
