Down Under Has A New Drag SuperStar. Kiwi Queen Spankie Jackzon, who spent her formative years and honed her Drag skills in some of Melbourne’s best bars, was crowned the winner of season 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under in September 2022. “I think it’s kind of starting to sink in,” Spankie tells Star Observer in a zoom interview from her home in New Zealand, “It’s insane.
Who would’ve thought that somebody from Palmerston North with no pants on and flat hair would end up winning?”Her fellow finalist, the incredible Kween Kong, describes Spankie as the “epitome of Down Under Drag” that we should be championing. “Spankie has been a nice refresh button (in the Drag Race franchise),” Kween had told Star Observer in another interview last month. “It’s not about how much you spend on dresses to be on the show.
You should lead with talent, with your craft and you should have charisma. It’s not for nothing that they say – charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.
Spankie encompasses all that is excellent about drag here.”Spankie, who admittedly spent just around $10,000 to prepare for the season and almost pulled out before filming started, readily agrees sewing and turning looks were not her strong points.
