As the country prepares to reopen, the Haus of Valentien talk individuality, expression and what it's like to be a drag queen in Vietnam.
Can you describe your look for the shoot?
I am very shy in person, but I’m pretty weird with my style of drag. I am a big fan of Pokemon, so I wanted to serve Mewtwo Extravaganza Realness with my look, made by a young designer called Thai Huy.I hatched from my drag mum — my brother Sweet Valentien — and was born in October 2020.I think it’s about performance. My body is stiff like a robot, so it has taken me a lot of time to practice at home how to dance the choreography.
is over, we will come back as strong as ever because during lockdown we all prepared a lot. We are going to show people how much we worked through this hard time.. She's funny, magical and her body is full of love. Not only does she live, but she creates a colourful world for you to explore.. Sweet Valentien's fiancé's grandmother gave her this outfit.

What has been the most challenging part of pursuing this profession? And what’s the most exciting thing happening in Saigon's drag scene? For most drag queens in Vietnam, it is a balance between real life and drag life. Saigon’s drag scene is growing. There may be some competition, but we are all contributing to the vivid drag scene.Shows were cancelled and I had to stop working. It strongly affects the source of income. Wiping away tears, I stayed at home and created new makeup looks and learnt some dance moves to prepare for upcoming performances.
