Kim walang nagawang sablay para tsugihin sa ‘Showtime’; Andrea nagpaka-drag queen

Kim Chiu at Andrea Brillantes

KALAT na kalat na sa social media na may tsutsugihin na host ng “It’s Showtime.”

Nasulat na rin ito at palaisipan kung sino ang TV host na sinasabing malapit nang mag-goodbye sa noontime show ng Dos.

And then naglabasan na rin sa internet na si Kim Chiu raw ang host na matsutsugi na.

Medyo nagulat kami kasi parang wala namang dahilan para tanggalin si Kim. Wala naman yata siyang nagawang major kapalpakan sa show to merit a boot.

Wala rin naman siguro siyang nakaaway sa show para alisin siya.  Napaka-friendly ni Kim at lahat ay kanyang kaibigan at lahat ay kaya niyang pakisamahan.

Kung performance ang pag-uusapan, sing and dance ang kaya ni Kim bukod pa sa mahusay din naman siyang host.

Kung si Kim nga ang aalisin sa “It’s Showtime,” we feel na it is for a good reason. Maaaring may bago siyang teleserye na kailangan nang magsimula. And since it is a lock-in taping, hindi na possible na mag-host siya ng noontime show.

O, kaya meron siyang bagong movie na sisimulan na lock-in din siyempre ang shooting.

Fan pala ng drag queen na si Ru Paul ang “Huwag Kang Mangamba” star na si Andrea Brillantes kaya naman nag-decide siyang magpagawa ng drag queen transformation sa tulong ng make-up artist.

“Kasi nga, puro ako nood ng Ru Paul. Nasa season six na ako. Everyday nakakatapos ako ng isang season. Gusto ko nang ma-experience,” say ni Andrea sa kanyang latest YouTube video.

Sumali pala si Andrea sa “Your Face Sounds Familiar” kung saan nag-perform siya bilang si Iggy Azalea.

Noong una, ang gustong ipangalan ni Andrea sa kanyang magiging anak ay Valentine Royale pero ayaw ng mga kapatid niya. 

Ang ginawa niya ay ginamit na lang niya iyon bilang name kapag naglalaro siya. And then she realized na bagay itong name bilang drag queen.

Ang ganda ng sinabi ni Andrea about drag, “For me, drag can be gender-less. You can create whoever or whatever you want to be, put in what you wish you had and let go of what you wished you didn’t have. 

“Drag can be anything and anything can be turned into drag. It is art. It speaks for itself. It feels for you. It makes more of what is less. 

“And from generation to generation, drag continues to evolved because drag is a lot of things. But what I am most certain of is the feeling I felt when they first put me on my drag.

“The sugar rush in me of seeing the character I made, Valentine Royale and for the first time and forever, I looked at the mirror with full make up on.   

“It’s like Valentine took all my insecurities away that I thought was impossible. I guess I was wrong because at that moment I felt flawless. 

“I was ready to face the world and I think that’s the most important about being drag. The feeling, the energy, the confidence that it gives other queens is what makes it special,” aniya pa.
