A queen with a rich and vibrant history, Fontaine (featured on Seasons 8 and 9 of RuPauls Drag Race) has taken her career from Puerto Rico to Austin. She started her career inspired by pageant queens past, but Fontaine has made a name for herself as well as her “cucu” (her signature phrase on the show) by being a queen that is relatable, funny, and genuine. Throughout her time on Season 8, Fontaine was seen as a lovable queen who truly brought up the energy in the room however her time on Season 9 after winning Miss. Congeniality on her original season, really showed us the lovable side of CLF and put her on the map. We talked about various topics including politics, music and where the future of drag is going. -Christopher Gonzalez LaCorte
Peach: Thank you so much for talking to me today! You are honestly one of my favorite queens from the show. I feel like you represent such a different subset of the pageant world that is genuinely nice and believes in the sisterhood. CLF: Wow, thank you so much! That really means a lot! Peach: You had some health complications while on the show but came out a survivor in the end, do you think that helped with your determination on the show? CLF: Absolutely. I think that going through the health scare and recovering from that really showed me how I can overcome problems around me and keep pushing through.
