Who Is RuPaul's Drag Race's Olivia Lux?

Lux is a "baby queen," meaning she hasn't been on the scene as long as some of her competitors. As AMNY notes, the Drag Race star was performing for a year prior to being cast but she made it clear underestimating her abilities would be a major error. "I was selected for this really amazing thing maybe without the most experience or notoriety in the industry, but I looked to that as a positive," she argued, noting, "I know what I'm capable of." Of how she got into the scene, Lux explained simply, "The drag life chooses you." 

She added, "Olivia Lux engulfed my being." Describing herself as a "showgirl" who's been passionate about performing her whole life, Lux clarified of her approach, "I love the fashion and the glamor, [but] there's something about the performance aspect of drag that I really enjoy." She's nervous about her comedy and acting chops, but reasoned, "when people see a drag queen, they kind of crack a smile."
