GIVEAWAY: Win Tickets to See Adore Delano at TLA on January 8th


It’s hard to pick a favorite from last season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but admit it, it’s probably Adore (aka Danny Noriega). Yes, Bianca’s a force of nature, and Courtney is just so damn pretty and talented, but nobody just doesn’t give a fuck quite like Adore. And that’s why we’re crazy about her.

Did you see her at Voyeur last time she was in? She rolled and writhed all over that stage—not caring if her wig fell off or if she snagged her hoes. Hell, those things were snagged to shreds to begin with. And she sings live, really well, taking on rock-tinged covers and a host of original fist-pumpers like what’s on her debut album, Till Death Do Us Party. That album hit No. 1 on iTunes’ dance charts this fall, making Adore the highest-selling artist of any Drag Race contestant. Here’s my favorite song from the album:

So what’s next for the disheveled diva? A tour, naturally.

Adore is hitting the road to, for the first time ever, perform an entire show with her live band. It’s not the drag shows your used to, it’s a bonafide concert, and it’s bound to be one hell of a good time.

Adore and her team were kind enough to give us a pair of tickets to give away to a G Philly reader. The contest is easy, just sign up for our weekly newsletter below (we’d really appreciate it!), and we’ll draw the winner’s name from the list at random on Friday, January 2nd. That way the winner can have nearly a week to prepare (and shred their hoes) for the show. The newsletter sign-up box is below. Good luck!
