Diva Houston is a former Brazilian drag performer best known for competing on the second season of The Switch Drag Race.
Drag Name Origin[]
When Felipe first started doing drag, he realized he did not choose a drag name at the time, and chose to perform as "Débora" at first. After one of her performances, a journalist and photographer for Playboy, that covered the magazine's social column, complimented her non-stop calling her "diva". Houston came from her biggest artistic inspiration, Whitney Houston.[1]
