Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls came to slay!

1We had the pleasure and honor to go to Neon Milk’s event, which the queens Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls were headlining. For those of you who don’t know Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls participated on the show “RuPauls Drag Race” season 8. Both queens were runner-up’s on the show, and also created a huge following worldwide. Both queens arrived last week to Seoul, being Kim Chi’s second time performing and Naomi Smalls first time performing in South Korea.

For those of who don’t know the meaning of drag queen, it usually is a male, who dresses in “drag” and often acts with exaggerated femininity and in feminine gender roles. Drag queens often have exaggerated characteristics, such as bold make-up and eyelashes for comic, dramatic, or satirical effect. “While drag is very much associated with gay men and gay culture, there are drag artists of all sexualities and gender identities”.

I have been following Rupauls drag race for years now and I can say that from all of its seasons both Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls, are my favorite queens. Kim Chi is tall, lively and animated character, whose outfits and humor was on point as well as her performances. Naomi Smalls was also serving her long legs and came “beat to the gods” (Make being flawless). Smalls got her inspiration from 90’s supermodels, pop culture as well as fashion. According to her website “her name hails from the edginess of Naomi Campbell coupled with the freshness of Biggie Smalls”.

2Both Kim Chi and Naomi smalls engaged with the audience in English and performed songs in English as well as in Korean. It shocked the audience when Naomi Smalls started singing CL’s song lifted, and it got everyone hype. The night was also filled with amazing and different acts, and performances from the queens, who are based in Seoul. Now these local queens, which are Nikki Ashes, Jungle, Vannesica Carver, Cha Cha, Kyam, Lang and Kuciia Diamond didn’t came to play from their outfits to their make-up slay to as well their song choices. The event was definitely a night to remember!

Unfortunately, with the lack of a professional camera I was able to take some pictures with my phone.ot So, I recommend also going to Neon Milks Instagram page and also admire the looks of the other queens that are missing from down below. Go to @neonmilk_seoul and you will see more amazing pictures from the event!
