I Had A Drag Queen Makeover - And Can't Believe The Results | HOOKED ON THE LOOK

AN 18-YEAR-OLD man has had the transformation of a lifetime - by becoming a drag queen for the day. New York-based Joseph Vallejo always knew he wanted to perform on stage and entertain others, but it wasn’t until he saw drag queens on TV when he realised that this was his calling. He told Truly: “I first realised I wanted to try drag specifically a couple months ago when I really got into the drag scene. I had known about it for a while but never really looked into it and truly understood what it was about. And then when I finally got into drag, I put my want to be entertaining and make people laugh together with this art form of drag, I realised I can combine the two and finally find an outlet for expression and making people laugh.” The only issue is Joseph has never tried makeup on before - let alone a dress and heels. He said: “For most, if not all in my life, I would definitely say my style is very tame, bland, boring.” Fortunately with the help from New Jersey-based drag queen Vanity Ray, Joseph transformed into his superstar alter ego. Joseph even thought of his own drag queen name, Luminella - based on the chemical used in forensic science. He said: “I feel like I have learned more about myself as a person and all the people I can become. I think I learnt that drag is way more intensive than people give it credit for. I think that this was a very important experience for me.”
