History

In September 2014 the fashion brand American Apparel recruited RuPaul's Drag Race contestants Alaska, Courtney Act, and Willam to be the faces of their new ad campaign. [1] They were the first drag queens to be ad girls for the brand. To promote the new partnership, they released their debut single, "American Apparel Ad Girls", a parody of "Farrah Fawcett Hair" by Capital Cities. [2] The song charted at number 10 on the Billboard Comedy Digital songs chart [3] and was later included on Willam's 2015 studio album Shartistry in Motion.

Later in 2014 they released a Christmas single, "Dear Santa, Bring Me a Man". In 2015 the group reunited for a track called "The Shade of It All" which was included on Alaska Thunderfuck's album Anus. They also recorded a song for the first Christmas Queens album. In 2017 they released their debut extended play Access All Areas . To promote the EP they embarked on the Access All Areas Tour . They have not released any music since then, with Alaska simply citing the reason to be Courtney’s busy schedule in 2019. [4]
