Career

Princess Poppy competed on season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race .

The show was filming among the COVID early years; Poppy recounted having to get tested six times in one day due to repeat false positive results before being approved for participation. [4]

Her talent show entry was a lipsync to an original song by Danny Bernstein and Poppy about her and singing "twin" Petunia, a parasite tumor like puppet. [5] During the behind the scenes parallel show "Untucked" she realized that being a full time drag queen and the social media obligation was not what she wanted, although she will continue to do drag in some fashion. [6]

She was the second contestant eliminated from the competition, [7] after losing a lip sync against Amethyst to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross. [8]

Princess Poppy's look for the reunion episode paid tribute to season 1 contestant Rebecca Glasscock. [9] [10]

Personal life

Princess Poppy was raised in Charlotte, North Carolina [11] and is based in San Francisco. [12] [13]
