C'est Kevvie is an American drag performer best known for competing on the first season of Camp Wannakiki.
Biography[]
Meet the gal the other campers call their imaginary friend — C'est Kevvie! Known around the Windy City as “the body-positive art ho,” Kevvie considers art history, horror and clowns the inspiration behind her drag. Proud to show off her curves, C'est Kevvie believes in celebrating her body—and all bodies—inside and out. In fact, she's the mother of the House of Travesties, a group that embraces their own physical and mental disabilities.
A transgender woman, Kevvie began transitioning in 2013 and embraces drag as an exploration of gender and the many kinds of gender expression. Currently completing her Master's Degree at the University of Illinois – Chicago, Kevvie's ultimate dream is to open the city's first drag museum. C'est la vie, C'est Kevvie! #HerRoyalTravesty[5]
Drag Name Origin[]
A pun on the French phrase "c'est la vie", translated as "that's life". "C’est Kevvie" is French for "It’s Kevvie". She decided on this name back in high school, way before she started doing drag.[6]
