Drag Race Finalist Divina di Campo: 'Drag Is Already So Fake, It’s Nice To Have A Bit Of Honesty Somewhere'

The drag legend talks to Grazia about growing up on Lily Savage, hating competitions and getting recognised in Aldi.I’ve got this fellow in Manchester who makes my stuff for me. Currently he’s got a huge mountain of material to get through. The brief here was for an Erté, 20s elegance with vaginal sleeves. I was hoping for a bit more elegance and less panto, to be honest. For my make-up, there’s always a touch of Divine. My look is: it’s on, let’s go.Well, I’ve had a long time to cook.

I hate competitions. I find them terrifying. I spent my entire time there being terrified I would be sent home. Every ten minutes I thought somebody’s going to walk in here and go, Divina, we’ve made a mistake, we meant a different person so can you just pack your stuff and leave? Then we can get them in. Now, it’s fine.I did quite a bit of TV before and every time its just been tits and teeth, show-mode.

That I hate competition. But if you want to move forward in your career, which I do, you have to keep putting yourself into positions that do make you uncomfortable. It took me out of my box, completely.
