    Katya Zamolodchikova and Trixie Mattel met cute as Season 7 contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race. They were immediate fan favorites, and their chemistry—exhibited (outrageously, of course) on their subsequent web series, “UNHhhh”—convinced Viceland to give them a TV series,The Trixie & Katya Show. It’s a half-hour of variety-show-style hijinks in and out of drag (in the latter case, they are Brian McCook and Brian Firkus).

    Trixie, a folk musician, is known for her Barbie-inspired pastel aesthetic—a process that takes contouring to Cubist heights. Katya’s looks range from “fishy,” a term used for realistic female impersonation, fans with a candid conversation about substance addiction in Season 7.
