\u201cVlada is a character described as a Brazilian\/Russian spy, currently working as the\u00a0Minister of International Affairs<\/em>\u00a0of the fictitious\u00a0URSAL<\/em>\u00a0(Union of the Socialist Republic of Latin America). My major inspiration is a Russian-born cis female drag called\u00a0Elke Maravilha<\/strong>, who moved to Brazil as a child in the 1940\u2019s and lived her whole life there. As I am a cis woman myself, I decided to pay homage to one of ours who was simply erased from queer herstory for being a cis woman.I decided to start doing drag two years ago as a way to express my unconformities with the stereotypes and the expected behavior of women. I heard my whole life that I should\u00a0wear<\/em>\u00a0this,\u00a0sit<\/em>\u00a0like that,\u00a0talk<\/em>\u00a0like that, etc; or I would either\u00a0look like a man<\/em>\u00a0or a\u00a0hoe<\/em>\u00a0(and also as a way to cope with my depression). So I decided to come up with a character through which I could express how I feel like a woman, and how I would like to be seen beyond all the things society expects from me\u2026I am badass, rock-faced, and strong-minded \u2013 but very campy and kitsch at the same time.Before I started doing drag, I had never played with makeup and never knew the difference between a foundation and compact powder (besides one being liquid and the other not, haha). So, it took me a couple of months before I came up with\u00a0my face<\/em>\u00a0and a character that didn\u2019t look too sloppy and messy (trust me, my first months in drag belong to the deep web archives!). I am really into retro looks and big wigs, which I style by myself.I perform in V\u00e4xj\u00f6 (one of the cities I live) at\u00a0Kafe de Luxe<\/a>\u00a0and contribute with the\u00a0V\u00e4xj\u00f6 Pride<\/a>\u00a0since 2017- the biggest Pride in Sweden after Stockholm!I hope I get to inspire more women to try the art of drag, since the more diversity we have in queer scenes, the better!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
