BIANCA DEL RIO is in MANILA for DEAD INSIDE Asia Tour

The nastiest (nicest in real life) and smartest queen in the Ru Paul's Drag Race franchise is in Manila for one night to do her DEAD INSIDE Asia Tour, her 113th show since starting this in February last year. She's the 6th queen to ever hold the crown, hailing from New York, the one and only BIANCA DEL RIO. 

Talk about CLOWN realness, Bianca had us laughing from the first second she stepped on stage during this interview. She wore a really shiny black gown, no white line under her eyes (or did she), and an orange wig that she changes each show. 

Bianca Del Rio and some of the RPDR Philippines queens.

Bianca says I'm still in drag from last night (she kids), can you imagine if I flew like this? I've been here a couple of times, and I'm wearing this orange hair to know what tour I've been doing. With the DEAD INSIDE tour, expect the unexpected. It depends on how much wine I've already had. They say never trust a drag queen who doesn't drink, there's always a secret waiting to be uncovered. Well it changes depending where you are, there are certain things that you can't do in the UK and things that you can't do in the US, same goes with Brazil, Hawaii and the Philippines. You have to find the little pockets of fun. So yeah, expect the unexpected!"

Here's our press conference this morning, and yes I got to ask about the iconic Orthopedic Shoe and her relationship with Adore Delano. 

There are only a few tickets left where you can purchase through the venue's box office. This is produced by LA COMEDY LIVE. See you if you're going there because I'm quite sure I'm seeing the show!

Have You Seen Those New AXE Scents?

Looks like there are new fragrances in the counter, and yes, it's our dependable brand AXE.

These days, folks don't just have one scent on and have them layered. It's that personalization that makes it appealing.

From brand to artists, they have their own way of producing these. Though most of the time, it'll cost an arm and a leg because of royalties.

A great scent certainly can take you places, it also makes you exude confidence, to also feel good in different times of the day. The new scents are Blue Lavender, Emerald Sage, Aqua Bergamot. Bergamot is fruity and spice, Lavender is quite relaxing, grassy and floral, while Sage is warm and earthy. 

Those designer scents may cost a lot, but AXE presents these new scents so you have options especially if you are using them for everyday fare. Make sure to check them out in Watsons and leading beauty and grooming counters nationwide. I bet it'll be hoarded by guys and gals because from the looks of it (and smell), it feels quite promising!
