Arianda Sodi Miranda is a Chilean drag queen best known for competing on the first and second seasons of The Switch Drag Race.
Drag Name Origin
She is a huge fan of Mexican singer Thalía, whose full name is Ariadna Thalía Sodi Miranda.
She swapped the "d" and the "n" in Ariadna, when her girl friend said the phrase "Ari, anda a lá panadería." (Ari, go to the bakery) and she decided to use it as her drag name. Ari is a shortened and affectionate version of Ariel, Arianda's real name.[1]
