The Transformative Power of Drag

Von Nguyen / Kimora Blac

Kimora Blac is no stranger to controversy. From gossip about plastic surgery, stories of her being the ultimate bitch, and tales of secret sex tapes...she has heard it all truly making her “The KIM K of DRAG”.

She arrived first as Lady Kimora - young, under-aged, brash, a bit naive, but in love with living the wild Queen lifestyle. Known for sneaking out of her bedroom window in the dead of night to escape the bourgeoisie trappings of her upbringing, and just to have a reason to wear clear, triple platform, stripper heels and a ripped-up denim jacket...of course she thought that was it and she was the shit! Over time, Kimora emerged, a slightly more polished, yet still rough-around-the-edges Queen. This era was marked by her arrival in the City of Sin where she joined the working stiffs who needed to hustle just to make a buck. There's a German philosopher dead a long time now, who said that social conventions don't apply to those brave enough to break the rules, and that whatever don't kill you, makes you stronger. There were those who tried to knock her down and hold her back, and there were bumps and bruises, and too many tears, along the way, but she grew up and she grew fierce. Finally, Kimora Blac blossomed into a refined, sophisticated, and polished Queen (who still hasn't lost her playful sass) best known for her appearance on season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race on VH1.

When you really learn to know her, Kimora Blac is a Kindhearted Babe who isn’t afraid to show those moments of tender vulnerability that lie just beneath the surface, a fleeting glimpse of the little girl revealed, at times, buried deeply in her ebon eyes. Her Koy Beauty undoubtedly makes the unsuspecting catch their breath, but don’t be fooled; if you cross her path in the wrong way, if you step on her game, she will unleash the fury of the Kunty Bitch that she can truly be when the scenario calls for it.Kimora Blac teeters between two divergent personalities: “The Boujee Barbie” and “The Kim K of Drag.” The two are so opposite from one another it's like a split personality - the two faces of Eve, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. "The Boujee Barbie" is always colorful, bubbly, and ebullient; she sparkles like crystal. Dressed in sexy, seductive cat suits layered in jewels, diamonds and gold, a few iconic features of “The Boujee Barbie” are gems, sexy knee-high boots, big boobs, and of course, a lot of ass! “The Boujee Barbie” is the vixen of drag! She loves high-energy songs, sexy lip-sync lyrics, and loves to party with everyone! On the other side of her psyche, lurks "The Kim K of Drag".

She's muted, chic, indifferent...an unflappable, oh-so-cool, and unbothered version of Kimora Blac. She loves wearing shades of nude, hues of military and olive greens mixed with staples, pieces of greys blacks and whites. She moves effortlessly with the lithe and grace of a tiger through a world that lies beneath her stiletto heels and stretches out at her fingertips, or her claws - she may wander by with a turn of her head and a swish of her tail, or she may turn and devour you - and it will leave you wondering which is better and which is worse. Iconic features of “The Kim K of Drag” are: expensive designer stilettos, Celine sunglasses, a diamond choker, and an over-sized jacket draped over her shoulders; she makes being incognito sexy and always in style.She doesn't just put on a show - she is the show. But most of all, at the heart of her heart, she adores and appreciates anyone and everyone in her presence because sharing drag and inspiring younger queens to shoot for the stars is her passion!
