👑Transgender Drag Queens👑
Every Monday I'll be posting about my favourite Drag Queens, focusing on trans and non binary Queens! I'll also do posts with Drag Queen book and podcast recommendations!
GOTTMIK
SHE/HER IN DRAG - HE/HIM OUT OF DRAG
Gottmik is an american drag prefmorer and the first transgender man to compete on Ru Pauls drag race in season 13. Gottmik is the stage name for Kade Gottlieb who uses he/him pronouns out of drag. Outside of drag race Kade is a makeup artist who has worked with a number of famous people such as: Cindy Crawford, Todrick Hall, Paris Hilton, Heidi Klum, Adam Lambert, French Montana, and Tinashe,
as well as Drag Race contestants Alaska Thunderfuck, Detox Icunt, Gia Gunn, Shangela, Pearl, Violet Chachki, and Willam Belli.
He has also done make-up for Amanda Lepore and Pabllo Vittar for their covers on Gay Times. And in 2020, Kade did Lil Nas X's makeup for Halloween, when he dressed as Nicki Minaj. In 2021, former Drag Race contestant Nina Bo'nina Brown was accused of making transphobic comments about Kade, stating that it was easier for him to do drag as he has a curvy body. This comment prompted several Drag Race contestants to defend Kade, including Denali and Jan Sport as well as Bimini Bon Boulash and Crystal from RuPaul's Drag Race UK. Gottmik entered the drag race workroom by saying “Time to crash the cis-tem”. Gottmik is known for her clown white drag makeup and high fashion looks. Since being on Drag Race Gottmik has started a YouTube channel where she shows her main stage Drag Race makeup tutorials.
