Venus, the newly crowned winner of Canada’s Drag Race Season 4, is still basking in the post-victory glow—but make no mistake, she’s already looking ahead. And yes, that glow is literally enhanced by body glitter.
“I forgot underwear, so maybe that,” Venus quipped when asked what she packed for her trip to Puerto Vallarta. “Sunscreen is always good, I love Maui Babe, and a little glitter. Glitter always. I like to shine.”
Shine, she certainly does. Venus spoke with us during the grand opening of The Tryst in PV, a growing LGBTQ+ hospitality brand she called “inclusive” and “welcoming,” praising it for helping queer people “make more connections around the world.”
One Woman, One Show, Big Plans
Venus may have snatched the crown, but she’s not resting on it.
“Right now, I’m working on my one-woman show,” she revealed. “And I have a very special campaign coming July 1st that involves Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. That’s our first official teaser!”
While she kept the details under wraps, Venus made it clear that she’s stepping into a global spotlight—and loving every second of it.
Lessons from the Werk Room
Despite the confetti and applause, Venus isn’t looking back. Literally.
“I have not looked back. I don’t want to look back,” she said of her Drag Race experience. “All I know is that I have been leveling up, which is what we want.”
Venus shared that one of her biggest takeaways was learning to stop underestimating herself.
“Once I stopped doing that, I just flew over my own expectations,” she said. “You can’t worry about what might happen—you just have to go for it. Once I did that, I won.”
Simple? Maybe. But powerful? Absolutely.
The Power of “Let Them”
As 2025 rolls on, Venus is embracing a new mantra.
“It’s 2025. Let them,” she said, laughing exuberantly. It’s a phrase that doubles as both a boundary and a battle cry—fitting for a queen who’s done playing small.
And as for those dazzling nails that caught our eye?
“Thank you,” Venus said, flashing her fingers with flair. “They’re part of the whole shine.”
With glitter in her bag, a crown on her head, and a fierce solo show in the works, Venus isn’t just riding the wave—she’s making her own tide.
