Alexis Mateo might not have left “RuPaul’s Drag Race” or “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” a winner, but she wasn’t done with the RuPaul brand. Far from it, she’s been back in a different capacity — and she wouldn’t be opposed to doing it again.
In May, Mateo took to Instagram to share that she would be featured in “Drag Race España” as a guest judge. In another post, she gushed over the experience, thanking production for giving her an opportunity to be a part of the show. “It was a dream come true,” she wrote at the time. It’s worth noting that last year, Mateo ever-so-subtly (and by that, we mean, not subtly at all) hinted that she would be more than happy to front an all-Spanish, Latin American rendition of the show. Speaking to Johnny McGovern on “Hey Qween!” she winked, “I don’t even know why we don’t have a ‘Drag Race’ Latino edition.” Given that Mateo has previously produced her very own Latinx drag contest, “Dragueando” (via Remezcla), we think she’d be more than capable of handling that challenge!
Outside of “Drag Race España,” Mateo has also continued to have a presence in the “Drag Race” brand through the live Las Vegas show. In July, she shared a reel to her Instagram, showing a playful exchange with her “All Stars 5” co-star and fellow Vegas queen, Derrick Barry. “Come see us,” she told fans. Don’t mind if we do!
