About
Drag Race Brasil Season 2
Adora Black has quickly made a lasting impact on the Brazilian drag scene despite her relatively short time as a queen. Known for her captivating performances and undeniable sex appeal, Adora's name carries intentional meaning. She chose "Adora" to ensure she'd always appear first on lists, while "Black" celebrates her proud Black identity. Together, the name forms a clever wordplay, "Adora Black", which in Portuguese sounds like "loves Black."
Adora isn't just a performer - she's an artist. She meticulously plans and crafts each of her looks, with every stitch, bead, and sequin reflecting her own handiwork. Her costumes are as bold and seductive as her drag persona. Ready for any challenge that demands manual skills like sewing or drawing, Adora is poised to excel in unconventional material challenges, with creativity being one of her greatest strengths.
In just two years, Adora has taken the drag scene by storm, earning titles like "Prêmio Jorge Lafond Drag Revelação 2024" and a feature in Calendrag's January 2024 edition. Her appearances in Dragazine further solidify her as a rising star. Adora is now a beloved fixture in the drag communities of Brasília and São Paulo, captivating audiences with every performance. In 2024, she presented a runway show at Sense Moda Criativa, featuring an original collection titled "All Black."[4]
Adora Black rapidamente causou um grande impacto na cena drag brasileira, apesar de seu tempo relativamente curto como drag queen. Conhecida por suas performances cativantes e seu inegável ‘sex appeal’, o nome de Adora carrega um significado importante. Ela escolheu ‘Adora’ para garantir que sempre fosse a primeira nas listas, enquanto ‘Black’ celebra com orgulho sua identidade negra. Juntas, as palavras formam inclusive um trocadilho inteligente que traduzido para português diz: ‘adora preto’.
Adora não é apenas uma performer, mas também uma artista, já que cria e confecciona cada um de seus looks, onde cada ponto de costura, miçanga e lantejoula colocada reflete seu trabalho manual. Suas criações são tão ousadas e sedutoras quanto sua persona drag. Preparada para qualquer desafio que exija habilidades manuais, como exemplo costura ou desenho, Adora quer se destacar nas provas com o uso de materiais não convencionais, sendo a criatividade uma de suas maiores forças.
Em dois anos como drag, Adora conquistou a cena nacional recebendo títulos como Drag Revelação 2024 do Prêmio Jorge Lafond de Arte e Cultura, além de ser, no mesmo ano, destaque do mês de janeiro do Calendrag. Suas aparições no projeto Dragazine consolidaram ainda mais esse status de queen em ascensão. Hoje, Adora está presente entre as comunidades drag de Brasília e São Paulo, onde encanta o público com suas performances. Em 2024, realizou um desfile no Sense Moda Criativa, de uma coleção autoral intitulada All Black.[3]Drag Name Origin
Adora is inspired by Anitta, who wanted her artistic name to start with an "A". It is also inspired by RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6 runner-up Adore Delano, as Adora loved the phonetics of her name. She also chose it to be the first in lists. Black was chosen to highlight her blackness. Together, they form a wordplay that translated to Portuguese means "loves black".[2][3]
