We read the tea leaves back in October when Brendan Jordan won over the web with his news broadcast vogueing that drag was almost certainly in this young queen’s future.
And what better place to debut his look than RuPaul’s Drag Con last weekend in Los Angeles?

Here she is kicking it with Johnny McGovern for some Hey Qween:
How about we take this to the next level?

Gaga inspired? Odd choice. Looks more Lana Del Ray. Still looks good though.

Emerson Collins is 30??? No way, he’s aged terribly if that’s true

It looks like Phi Phi only knows how to do Make-up one way, When I first saw the face I thought “Oh, it’s Phi Phi O’Hara from Drag Race”. So I guess she knows one face and stuck with it.
And Michelle Visage would get pissed that she’s not cinched.
Avery Alvarez
Good for him! He looks like he’s having a great time
@Daniel Bujes: I like both Lana and Gaga and I think he looks like a mixture of both. Very well done
Craig England
I thought he looked like Brittany Murphy
jason smeds
He just looks like an awful stereotype.

@Daniel Bujes: Agreed. Way more like Lana. What i’m getting tired of are “drag queens” who are more interested in looking a part, than putting on a show. Even on Ru Paul’s drag race, which i only watch sporadically, they spend 90% of their time on the look, and just walk around a stage for the show. We have to stop applauding every single guy that puts a dress on and stands up on stage. Just doing it doesn’t make you worthy of some applause, you have to do it well!

This is sad. When is his father going to step in and start teaching him how to be a man? No one is saying that he has to play football and fight, but for God’s sake, teach him some basic social skills to let him relate to and bond with other males. If he doesn’t learn to do that, it is going to hurt him in life.

I do see the Gaga resemblance, mostly because both Gaga & Brendan have that dead eyes thing going for them. (It’s not a read, I have it as well.)
Cinched or not, Gaga would not be caught dead in public with that basic outfit though.

@Jacob23: said… “but for God’s sake, teach him some basic social skills to let him relate to and bond with other males.”

Your assumption is that all other males are only doing “Manly” things. It looks like he bonded with plenty at that event.

NOT entertaining AT ALL.
