Last week, we were lucky enough to get up-close-and personal with the stunning Rhea Litré – one of the most electric, talented and jaw-dropping drag performers out there.
She let us in on all the good stuff (and the important stuff), including what inspired her to get into drag, how her name came about and the 3 drags she’d take with her to a desert island. Ya know…the good stuff!
Find out more about what makes this legend tick and get ready to fall in love – just like we did.
Werkin’ it Out with Rhea Litré
1. What inspired you to start doing drag?
I saw RAVEN perform at Peanuts and I was gagged! I was like wow Drag is really powerful and I wondered what I would look like.
2. If you were stranded on a desert island – and had to pick 3 other drag artists to take with you – who would they be?
Willam | 6 | Courtney Act
3. What country haven’t you visited (that you’d love to)?
BRAZIL!!!!!!
4. What’s the 1 song you’ve always wanted to perform live or what’s your favorite song to perform live?
Lovergirl By Teena Marie!
5. Tell us more about your regular shows. What’s Makeout Mondayz like? Ash Wednesdays?

Rhea is the mother of all the Greek Gods and Litré is the name of a rock that Apollo gave to her.

Before drag I loved my job as a publicist. I would 100% still be doing that. I still am in a way, I do it for myself.
9. If you could click your fingers and have 1 thing done for you every day, what would it be? Makeup? Cooking? It could be anything!
Get in full drag 😍 that would be epic.

I shat myself.
