Molly Poppinz Bio, Age, Real Name, Partner, Drag Race

Molly Poppinz believed that the drag scene in Canada was undeveloped. Even years after she left the place to make a name for herself, she found the Canadian drag scene fell far behind the others. So, in 2022, this drag queen took it upon herself to build a thriving community in her native city and joined the Drag Race Down Under season 2.

Get to know her better as this Molly Poppinz Bio proceeds. 

Molly Poppinz On Drag Race Down Under Season 2

RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under season 2 hit the screens on July 30, 2022, and it featured the very best of Australia and New Zealand’s drag queens. Compared to the previous installment, the stakes were higher this season — with a grand prize of AUD 50K) — which also meant more sass and shenanigans.

One of the Drag Race stars, Molly Poppinz shared that the show meant so much to her because of the years of hard work she had put in, not only in Australia but also in Canada. No wonder, when she found out she secured a spot on the second season, she screamed out loud (a “gay obnoxious screams”,) so much that she was worried the neighbors might ring in a noise complaint.

“It felt great to know that my hard work did in fact pay off but still felt very surreal that I was going to be a Ru Girl,” she recalled.

So, after receiving the call, Molly then prepped herself for all the challenges she’d nail or fail. While she claimed she can ace most of them, her most dreaded challenge would be a design challenge because she “doesn’t really know how to sew.”

“Like, yes, I know what you’re thinking, is this b*tch really going into drag race not knowing how to sew? And the answer is, yes! Yes, she is,” she explained.

Also, she added that by securing the spot, she wanted to make Newcastle proud.

This self-admitted party-girl-at-heart also shared that she liked to “look stunning, but act real stupid.” And her appearance as “Slimy Cinderella” at the ball in Drag Race Down Under season 2 premiere explains it all.

“Are you looking for Molly? cause I’m here to get it poppin,” Molly promoted the show on her IG.
