Earlier this week, Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski kicked off Pride Month by sharing a vulnerable message about finally being able to explore drag, after keeping the desire hidden.
With the help of Ru Paul's Drag Race star, Miz Cracker, and British-born designer Christian Cowan, Antoni was able to make his drag dreams come true.
Das me! Thank you @them, @miz_cracker and @christiancowan for providing a safe space where I could explore and learn about a side of me I kept deep inside. Happy Pride ❤️💚💙💜🧡💛 link in my story ✌🏼.
Many were inspired by Antoni's revelation, especially rapper, Kid Cudi.
Kid Cudi, who has been outspoken about the shunning of gay rights in the hip hop community, took to Twitter to express his interest in drag.
Ok so i saw Antoni from queer eye get a drag make over and i want one too. Would i look bad in drag? Hahaha thoughts? I wanna feel fabulous man!!
Cudi's tweet generated a lot of attention and positive feedback. There were even some people who immediately wanted to make it a reality, like Miz Cracker, herself:
@KidCudi I’m ready
Christopher Klimovski, who acted as director and supervising producer on Antoni's Drag Me episode:
@KidCudi DM me brother - I directed the episode and I'm a LONG TIME FAN and would LOVE to have you on. 😍
And Oother Drag Race stars who were willing to help with the makeover, like Monét X Change:
@KidCudi Oh...you’d look fuckin dope! The bone structure is right.
And Shea Couleé:
@KidCudi Let’s do it...
But that wasn't the only support Cudi received. His fans showered him with love and approval:
@KidCudi Me when I see Cudi dressed in drag 💃🏽
@KidCudi cudi bro i think it’s been confirmed for ages now that you can pull off literally anything, you don’t need no input from us 😂
This is a great idea!! Get the awesome @RuPaul involved? https://t.co/K6DIqNS0UX
They even came up with some fun drag name suggestions:
@KidCudi Kid Hunty 💃
@KidCudi This should be Madam Rager
@miz_cracker @KidCudi Miss Cudi Pie
@KidCudi RAMONA MOON!! 🌙
I'm excited to see if anything comes of this. I mean, who would deny this sweet face???
