Van Goth, Canada’s Drag Race Season 6
Goth gained national attention as a contestant on Canada’s Drag Race Season 6, where her bold aesthetic and performance skills earned her at least one challenge win. She entered Season 6 with a clear design and fashion background, with her persona being described as a “whole mood” designed to turn heads and stand out in any crowd. Her drag name, on the other hand, originated from an incident in which she pierced her ear with an unsterilized safety pin. The incident was compared to the painter Vincent van Gogh, the famous painter who cut off part of his ear.
In terms of competition performance, Van Goth has already secured one challenge win, proving her ability to impress the judges and outshine her competitors. One of her most notable moments so far was her participation in a lip sync performance of Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted”, alongside Brooke Lynn Hytes and Paula Abdul herself. It’s worth noting that Van is a drag sister of Season 4 runner-up Aurora Matrix and Season 5 contestant Perla. Together, the three of them are known as the “PowderPuff Girls”.
Beyond Drag Race, Van Goth’s career includes live performances in Toronto’s drag scene and appearances on digital platforms such as Cameo. Notably, she won Absolut Empire’s Ball Season 3 and is a two-time contender at Miss El Convento Rico. She also collaborates with fashion houses and corsetry designers such as Sweet Carousel Corsetry, where they created custom looks for her on Drag Race. In addition, Van performs multiple times a week and has performed all over the country, from Ottawa to Vancouver.
