Lydia B. Kollins
Pittsburgh-based grungy alternative queen inspired by Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice, dating fellow Season 17 sister Kori King.
Lydia B Kollins is an American drag performer from Greensburg, Pennsylvania and based in the Pittsburgh scene, where she works venues like P*Town Bar in Oakland and Blue Moon in Lawrenceville. Her drag name and persona draw directly from Lydia Deetz in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice, with additional inspiration from John Waters and David Lynch — a look she's described as grungy, alternative, eerie, and vampy, valuing creativity over polish. She finished 7th on Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and became the only queen to compete on a second season (All Stars 10, where she tied for 3rd with Bosco) before her first had even aired. She's dating fellow Season 17 competitor Kori King (Boston).
