Etcetera Etcetera is an Australian drag performer and contestant on the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.
About[]
Etcetera is a striking non-binary drag artist, who at only 22 years of age has already made a splash within the Australian drag community for her aesthetic and activism.
Known as the ‘glamour bug’, she runs the shows at one of Sydney’s iconic establishments: The Imperial Erskineville![5]
Drag Name Origin[]
Their name is in reference to the phrase "etcetera, etcetera", a Latin expression that is used in English to mean "and other similar things", or "and so forth". Translated literally from Latin, et means "and", while cētera means "the rest"; thus the expression means "and the rest [of such things]".
