After eight episodes and a whole lot of 鈥楥harisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent鈥�, Spankie Jackzon (37) was crowned the winner of Season 2 of Rupaul鈥檚 Drag Race Down Under.
This Kiwi drag performer started her drag career over 15 years ago, with 12 of them spent establishing her credentials in the Melbourne drag scene. In Melbourne she was known for hosting 鈥楴urse Betty presents鈥� parties.
Spankie was previously the winner of season 2 of the Kiwi show House of Drag and is the official host and roving reporter of The Wellington International Pride Parade.
On Saturday, at the official finale watch party, the three finalists, Spankie, Hannah Conda, and Kween Kong watched together as a winner was announced.聽
Tears & Glory
On being named Australia鈥檚 Next Drag Superstar, Spankie, with tears in her eyes, called Kween and Hannah onto the stage with her, saying, 鈥淗onestly, I don鈥檛 give a fuck about the crown鈥� these two girls here are the fuckin wind because I wouldn’t have made it here to the end if it wasn’t for their love and support and kindness and our friendship. Thank you!鈥�
She wiped tears of joy away, and cheekily added, 鈥淚 honestly don’t give a fuck about the moment, go and get a beveragino.鈥�
She then danced and spun on stage singing, 鈥淚鈥檓 a winner, I鈥檓 a winner baby,鈥� while the audience cheered.聽聽
In a tweet, Spankie wrote, 鈥淲HOLY SHIT I JUST WON鈥hankyou to all the people who doubted me, told me I was never good enough, told me drag is about clothes, told me I had no talent, thought I was too flamboyant and would never amount to anything. THANKYOU its because of you that I had the fire to thrive!鈥�
